IS anyone else planning to pick this up when it comes out on the 18th? I hate preordering games because there is no telling whether they'll be worth $60 or not, but I am a sucker for anything Batman and reserved a copy through GameStop. Apparently there is a bonus for preordering it there where you can make Batman look like The Animated Series version. It sounds weird, but might be pretty cool. What do you guys think?

Best Buy I want to say had the better pre-order bonus since you get Robin to use in challenge maps and such. Plus he comes with Red Robin alternate costume.
OR Pre-order from Walmart and you get Arkham City + Arkham Asylum GOTY + $10 E-Gift Card PS3: Walmart.com: Batman: Arkham City w/ Preorder Bonus* Batman: Arkham Asylum & $10 eGift Card (PS3): Games 360:Walmart.com: Batman: Arkham City w/ Preorder Bonus* Batman: Arkham Asylum & $10 eGift Card (Xbox 360): Games A good deal if you don't own Arkham Asylum or wish to have the Game of the Year Edition. It might be worth $60. Just depends on you the person. If anything, rent it at Redbox since I'm sure this will be a game they'll toss into their machine. |

Well I didn't realize there were so many options. Getting the GOTY and a giftcard sounds like a solid deal, but I'll just stick with my reservation since its paid for already. I traded in my Assassin's Creed games a while back because I didn't expect to play them again, and it covered at least have the reservation. The older I get, the pickier I am about what games I'll buy.

Oh yeah...this is a big game we're talking about. I mean Amazon is doing their own $10 Gift Card as well. I kind of wish we got the other suits too though. I mean Animated is Gamestop and then the 70s Bats is in the Collectors Edition. I bet the rest will be paid DLC at a later point.

Don't recall off hand. I'll have to do some research and get back to you on that.
A future possibility but who knows. I only say that due to the fact that certain trophies/achievements require use of Robin which is BB pre-order. This leads one to believe it'll be out later as paid DLC. Yeah. That look works for the game this time around. I mean seeing that 70s one prowling the streets just looks funny when I think about it. |

Yeah there's supposed to be a figure as a bonus at ToysRUs, but here we are a couple weeks away and yet to receive any official info on it.

I just looked into it, and TRU hasn't made anything official (as far as I can tell). I would jump on board for the figure too, but if TRU is really doing this deal, they aren't making it public, which doesn't make sense at all.

This site says that Toyark.com provided a picture to confirm the figure. Batman Arkham City • Toys R Us Arkham City Pre-Order/Purchase Exclusive Announced WTF? Did I miss something?

No confirmation yet but I was just watching Supernatural and a commercial for the Green Lantern DVD came on. Turns out if you buy Green Lantern on DVD you get a code for Sinestro Corps Batman for Arkham City.

That's pretty cool. I didn't like GL enough to buy the dvd though. Ryan Reynolds ruins movies.

I been wondering on the TRU pre order myself. Went to 2 different ones and even pulled up the website on my phone and no one (workers or managers) knows about it. One person did say that when the figures for the gears 3 pre order came out the knew 1week before, and only got 6 figures in. Im definetly buying this batman game but for me the figure would be one hell of a added bounus
