Ordered the dealextreme one, thanks.

It should be with you in time for the PC launch date! Since they have set up a UK distribution centre recently, it should be with you quicker that you think, if you're lucky that is.

So no word on price in shops yet.

Also, where's the Catwoman code Warner Bros.

Under the Red Hood was excellent! Any other Batman animated films like that besides Year One?

Well there's Gotham Knight but it's more like short stories featuring Batman sort of like what the Animatrix was to the Matrix. I hear Batman Beyond : Return of the Joker is really good

Just thought I'd warn you guys in case you were tempted to watch, the Giant Bomb quicklook of this game has a massive spoiler within the first three minutes. I'm pretty sure its after ruining a major plot point for me. I think its time for a media blackout of this game until Friday.

Was in Gamestop today and its 55 euro.

The CE was 80 euro.

If given the choice, why anyone would buy the game from Gamestop, v's HMV is beyond me.

I buy from gamestop as it's the only place in town for me,barring xtravision which is generally a bit more pricey.

But yea,if the choice is there,madness!

Thanks man, I've done well avoiding these spoilers im hearing about and don't want it wrecked now!

Watched it and didn't see or hear any spoiler?

@ShaneU Lucky you. It was something said over the local surveillance radio that a prisoner is speaking over. I'll say no more in case I ruin it for somebody.

It is, the batman beyond isn't the quit brooding type and there are some great scenes with him and the joker.

Just caved in and ordered the two face steelbook from shopto.net a few days ago they were incl the 1970s skin but I don't think they are anymore except for the pc version but on a lighter note it was dispatched like 5 mins after I ordered it so HOPEFULLY I will get it Friday. Still gonna try tescos Friday for the joker steelbook.

Just finished the 2nd dvd in volume two of the animated series. 6 discs down 2 to go
wish I could find the 3rd volume. When i'm done watching these i'm watching the films yep even the Adam West one (might skip the clooney one even if I had a crush on alicia silverstone when I was younger). Don't have Live at the moment so i'm pissed about the DLC,the Catwoman one in particular cause I preordered this aaaaages ago & was buying this new so a customer like me is getting screwed.

I love the Adam West Batman film, it's so funny. "Quick Robin, lets exit in a discrete fashion" followed by them exiting out of a window. Ohh and the game dispatched earlier on so hopefully i'll have it tomorrow. Although I won't be home till 8ish...

Make sure you know if it's for playstation or xbox if that's the case OP

catwoman comes with all new games, but you have to pay extra for the catwoman dlc if you buy secondhand.

Also if the one you're getting it for is picky check which extra the shop is giving.

That's exactly what I did with Arkham Asylum. I saw it cheap in the shops and bought it for the PC after finishing it on the PS3. Now I actually own 3 copies of that game(another one on Steam when I bought the Eidos bundle). Such a great game.

Gamesnash just sent an email saying its dispatched. Cmon an post, run like the wind all night long. Doubt it will arrive tomorrow but will be very very nice if it does

November 18th for the PC release in the EU.

I'll be grand picking this up in the sales. Not only will it look so much better than the console version, I'm pretty sure I read it comes with all the DLC too (I could be corrected) and none of the DRM Catwoman crap either.

tuxy

So, anyone figure out why the pc version was delayed? Also couldn't a pc with a amd 3d card do all that physics stuff once the cpu was up to it?

Em, I thought none of the DLC/costumes are coming to the PC version. Have no idea where I heard that but it might be worth investigating.
