they look like doctor phosphorous, especially since the left one in the back seems to be kamehamahaing something

Your a boot licker for a pawn shop. What a troll and a tool you are. Be your own man not some toady for gamestop.

Heres an idea Garrett: Dont ever come to this site again. Despite what your training videos and your DM tell you, most gamers could give two shits about Gamestop and see it for what it is: A PAWN SHOP THAT HURTS DEVS WE LIKE.

I dont know u pole smoker. I would rather the money go to the people who made it instead of people pawning it off. Yes some publishers are bad (activision im looking at you) You sir, are a poop head. :(

This preorder bs is getting out of hand.
Only reason I would ever walk into a Gamestop is to take a dump on the floor and throw it at the jackass behind the counter.

Well I'm really interested, and have been for a while, but I refuse to shop at gamestop. This is one of my most anticipated games of the year, so shouldn't I deserve to play the map too even though I won't shop there?

so, you pre order at gamestop, get the code, then a week later tell them you arent interested and get your $5 back. whats so hard about that?

Likewise, I'd be happy to preorder for a little extra bonus, but not if it means spending money on a fucking Gamestop. That's half an ass-hair away from piracy as far as the industry is concerned, and that's not even counting the psychological warfare involved in getting the cashier to just hand me my bagged up game and my goddamned change.

You can put your credit card info online and it will hold an order for you at a specific store for pickup and it costs you nothing unless you never go pick it up

WTF are you talking about? Is it, because You have a 360, and Sony decided it would best to invest in this game?

Why is everyone who says something negative accused of being a fanboy? So far, the game looks pretty good (and I even have the PS3 version pre-ordered) but I've been trying to not get my hopes up that much, because it still wouldn't surprise me if the game turns out to be less than amazing.
As for the exclusive content.. It was already confirmed to be coming to the 360 shortly after, so it's a non issue. Besides, a few challenge maps where you play as the Joker hardly seems like anything to gloat over.

I've played the demo of the challenge rooms and I was left with the impression that the combat was pretty shallow. I would love for this game to be great, but I'm holding off until the reviews.

Two things I don't get: Why is everyone excited about batman fighting skeletons? He's faced off against nearly everyone BA in the DC universe, yet this post is gonna need a good clean-up due to the orgasmic reactions of everyone going OMG BATMAN VS SKELETONS DO WANT!!! I'm excited for the game and the detective work and other features. This screenshot looks like nothing more than a Final Fight clone.
2nd: If everyone on the internet claims they hate GS and refuse to pre-order and refuse to buy from them, then why does GS continue to pre-order offers? Who is going there to buy from them? I'd venture to guess that it's NOT the unwashed masses who don't know a Wii from a wee, but rather it's the very same people who are reading websites like this, typing out the oh-so-fashionable-GS-hatepost with one hand while they gather games to sell back to GS with the other. For the record, I don't hate GS, but if i did, i wouldn't be supporting them. Someone obviously is despite statements to the contrary.

Too Bad its at gamestop i preordered there for LBP and i had to wait an extra week after the week delay to get the damn thing because they were outta stock. Why the hell did i preorder the damn thing then if they were just gonna sell it anyway. When i finally got it the employees were talking like they were playing it all week long. and i had to preorder it in 2 different citys to get my damn kratos code and i ended up paying $65 for the damn thing for a game that i should of had day 1. When i preorded KZ2 at best buy they put extra copies behind the desk for ppl who preorded only. That is the most reliable source for buying my games now. Also it was shrinkwrapped and everyting unlike my LBP that came without the wrapper.

the LBP that came without the wrapper my friend was because of a technique called loss prevention.......and why complain about shrinkwrap when all you are going to do is just open the wrap when you get home

A bunch of you are talking about PS3 exclusive map. I don't see in this article where this maps is PS3 exclusive. The gamestop site lists both the 360 and PS3 as getting a map on pre-order. Are they different maps? What am I missing? Am I blind? Why is this article not answering my questions? Answer me, talking heads!!!
