Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
Saw a preview last night showing Batman fighting thugs in Joker's Carnival and it looked awesome. Read some more on it online it sounds like its a part of the DLC and adds around 4 hours of material to the game. I can't wait to play this!!

So no special PS3 exclusives this time around?

I wonder if that's something on-disc or a DLC code. I'd borrow the Blu from Netflix, but no way I purchase that POS movie on Blu ray, Batman skin or not.

FYI for those who don't want the CE. Kmart will be doing a $30 gaming coupon + a $5 coupon for LOTR with this game.

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
As someone who reviews game, I can't begin to tell you how much I despise having to assign a score to a game, especially when I just adapt 0-10 to cover the full spectrum of A-F. I just don't see the logic in making 8-10 good, 7 ok, and everything below a wide spectrum of bad.

I went ahead and pre-ordered from Best Buy for Robin and the challenge maps. Hopefully when I go to pick it up in-store it comes with the code, otherwise I'll probably just try and return it.

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
The GoW3 character code email from BB deal turned into a giant clusterfuck. There was a forum set up for it on their support site which ran into the hundreds of pages, and the poor lady who was trying to sort it all out (and who was doing a good job but just couldn't keep up) had to pull in a bunch of other people full-time to help her deal with it and get people their codes that never came.
I'd like to get the Robin character, but I really don't want to pre-order from BB. It'll be DLC pretty soon anyway.

That $5 doesn't even cover the tax and that game has a $20 credit at Amazon if anyone is actually foolish enough to buy it at full price at launch. Disappointing. I guess I'll still get it from Kmart, but I haven't yet cancelled my New Egg pre-order. That shirt looked cool.

You might also think this would be the perfect time for me to make some easy crack about your user name, and I'll be honest -- I was tempted.

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
It's a little cheaper than MSRP at Amazon -- $56.54 now. That makes it really close Amazon vs Kmart with the $10 off coupon. Depending on tax rate it might be a little cheaper at one or the other, but it would be really close either way. Too bad that coupon wasn't for more than just the one game ($10 off Uncharted 3 would have been very much appreciated, as would a discount on points or PSN cards)
