Ill be disappointed if I don't get it today to be honest.

It was dispatched yesterday by express post and I thought that guaranteed next day delivery?

It'll be worth it to see individual lovingly rendered broken teeth spray out of a thug's mouth when they get an armoured fist in the face.

Express guarantees launch day delivery. Regular post can also deliver on launch day but it's not guaranteed.

Its €43 in hmv

NotorietyH · 20-10-2011 3:32pm

My collector's edition arrived from Gamestop anyway. It's pretty damn sweet. The game is in the back cover of the art book.

But surely if regular post has a 95% chance of next day delivery express post should be guaranteed?

Anyway i think I can wait another day.

Got a sweet keyring with it too that I didn't see mentioned anywhere. Happy out. It can go with my two other Batman keyrings!

Just so people aren't worrying, my copy of BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY has arrived. I shall endeavour to enjoy it extra hard for those who will have nothing better to do than watch soaps this evening.

Mine just arrived too. I'd suggest having some form of celebration but I have things to do...like beat up thugs and make the streets of Gotham safe for the good people once more.

*loads game*

I'm Batman!!

No wait...apparently I'm Catwoman. Now I'm confused. Ha.

Darksaga87 · 20-10-2011 3:44pm

Does HMV have the limited edition?

Markitron · 20-10-2011 3:53pm

HMV Grafton St have the price on the box, with a big sticker saying its out tomorrow. Im gonna drop by Dundrum later in the hopes that its put up for sale later this evening

Lame Lantern · 20-10-2011 3:56pm

Wondering if that 3D games place on grafton street could be convinced to sell it early. I'm sure the big chains wouldn't get away with it but these guys probably fly under the radar.

Wishful thinking?

Markitron · 20-10-2011 3:59pm

Tried in there at lunch, no dice

Frankmagnet · 20-10-2011 4:00pm

Anyone get it and there was no catwoman code inside? Thats the one I got. Seems to be a big F*** up when the codes were being packaged and printed.

Some games have more than one code, some have the voucher but no code printed on it and some have nothing at all inside the box.

Markitron · 20-10-2011 4:04pm

My advice is, if possible, to get in HMV. 90% of the time they have the game/instructions/codes separate and only put them inside the box when your buying it. Im just gonna ask the guy nicely if I can check if mine has the code. Tbh im not starting the game with content missing

Zero-Cool · 20-10-2011 4:04pm

Notoriety, that CE looks class man! fair play for splashing out! Frank that sucks, really hope the code comes with my copy tomorrow, especially after hearing you should install it before playing the main game.

Damn. Running out of options here. Got my schedule moved around so I have tonight off but I'm working the late shift tomorrow and then Saturday as well.

Oh won't any major retail corporation stand up for the little guy?

Markitron · 20-10-2011 4:06pm

Im passing that place again in 10 mins, ill stick my head again in and see if its on sale

I was up there at lunch, no one is selling it until tomorrow and will not take anything to hold one. Game did say they have so many in stock (stock out +100 more at least in the stock room).

Both Gamestop and Smyths on Henry St are open at 12 tonight to sell it. That's where I'll be as my time is limited tomorrow.

There was no Batman Beyond skin code in mine. Slightly disappointing as I love that suit but everything else that was supposed to be there was there, including a Batman keychain.

Zero-Cool · 20-10-2011 4:16pm

Speaking of Batman Beyond, I was watching return of the joker last night and just couldn't get into it. Never watched BB before but I take it little skinny shildish batman is bruces son? Didn't like the animation either, just ended up turning it off and putting on batman year one which I must preferred. Brian Cranston is brilliant in it.

Tis cool out! I'm a massive Batman fan and tis my birthday on Saturday so got it as a birthday present for myself! Don't pick up collector's editions that often unless they're really cool (or geeky!) and this one looked like one of the better ones. Happy out with it! Just half an hour more in work and I get to play it!

That_Guy · 20-10-2011 4:38pm

I hope whoever got it today gets the RROD or the YLOD depending on your console of choice.... Ya bastards.

VinLieger · 20-10-2011 4:39pm

Just got my email from gamestop with my codes in it so hopefully arrives tomorrow

Mr Freeze · 20-10-2011 4:39pm

Dammit, mine didn't come.

Down to the post office this evening, so kick some asses.

The monster who took my game from me will soon learn that revenge is a dish... Best served cold.

MitchKoobski · 20-10-2011 4:42pm

Just to check, anyone who got it today had it ordered on express right?
