Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread

For those who ordered from Best Buy, how did you receive your download code for the Robin bonuses?

When I was at Best Buy today, they had games with stickers on it saying the bonus was on the inside.

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread

Thanks! I wasn't able to go pick it up today, so I wanted to check if it was going to be via email or in the package itself. It worked out alright because I have work to do tonight for tomorrow and I knew if I went and picked it up I wouldn't have gotten my work done.

I'm wearing a t-shirt of Phoebe in that moment right now.

Seems only Best Buy and Toys R Us have any of the PS3 in stock online.
Strange, they are all showing in stock now ready to ship. Must have just got them in late for PS3 I guess.

Just started playing and this game is amazing. I do get the sense of overwelhming a bit like someone stated earlier. I played and loved the first one but when they let me take over I wasn't exactly sure what to do or where to go. Not in a bad way just need to ramp up.

Newegg isn't sold out. At least they weren't a couple hours ago when I found that promo code for $10 off. I bit the bullet and bought it. My order is showing that they have charged my credit card. I don't think they would charge it if the game wasn't in stock.

Playing AC: Brotherhood before this was a bad idea. I keep hitting buttons for Ezio's moves during combat

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread

I had my wife go to Kmart this morning. She said she was the only one there for the game, just a bunch of old folks waiting for the door to be open. Said that they only had a little box with 4 PS3 and 4 Xbox Batman games.

If anyone wants that LOTR 10 buck coupon, let me know and its yours.

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread

Random question - can anyone who bought a regular edition of the Xbox version (i.e. without character pack ins or anything), please verify the UPC code for me? I appreciate your help. Thanks.

I got to Kmart just before 10 am and picked up a copy for the 360. The lady working electronics said that it was the 3rd copy she had sold this morning. There were only 2 copies left for the Xbox 360. PS3 had 3-4 copies left.

After I left there I stopped by Best Buy to pick up a movie. They had a display near the front of the store for B:AC. All the games I saw had the Robin code sticker on the front. Would have loved to gotten the early release code for it, but the Kmart deal was a better deal for me with Uncharted 3 coming out soon.

Are you guys talking about the Collector's Edition? Because that's what I was referring to as being sold out.

Sorry if this is a repeat of a previous post but I didn't scan through all the pages.

If you buy a NOS energy drink and enter the tab code into www.drinknos.com after registering you can redeem a voucher for PS3 or Xbox360 for the Batman Beyond Skin. Its only 1 point and so far its the only place I've seen offering this skin.

Sorry, my bad....internet reading, didn't see the CE version you were asking about. The CE version does seem to be in limited quantities. It is kind of surprising considering most limited runs are widely avaliable the first few weeks of release.

Picked this up tonight pre-orded from Gamestop. Installing now. I can't wait to Fly like Hawkman, fight like Spider-man, and make the ground quake like Superman.

That's because the goddamn Batman can do anything and everything.

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread

I stopped by Best Buy this evening and they had 3-4 PS3 CE editions left, and 2-3 360 CE's. It looked like the display probably held 4 of each, of course I don't know how many they sold last night, or earlier today.

Dammit, It would seem keeping the Detective View is once again the only way not to miss shit.

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread

I have the download code from Gamestop for the Gotham Night Movie and a Batman Beyond skin code if someone has the Robin pack they want to trade( a long shot I know). I would also take the the dark knight skin or the 70's Batman skin for the Batman Beyond skin if anyone is interested. Im on PS3

I remember this being a big complaint from the first game, and it really is something I don't get. I use it as a quick thing. I flash it on, look around, and then flash out when needed. I couldn't imagine playing the game with that view on for any real length of time.

yep. this is the one negative to this game. in order not to miss anything, you need to run around in detective mode. i wish they had a way to integrate it into the game where a secret would flash or glow or something so you don't have to run around playing in that mode.
