Unboxing the Batman: Arkham Asylum Collector's Edition

I believe that was only for the PS3 version of the game.

Only on PS3, only after you download some DLC and only for the Challange maps I'm afraid.

Exactly. He bought the wrong version.

Oh noes! The "PS3" has the Joker exclusively... right now. Don't act like the xbox won't get the Joker eventually...

Let's hope it does come to the 360. If it stays exclusive and it actually shows to have an impact on the sales.. It just means Microsoft are going to become far more aggressive with exclusive DLC, it needs to die here and now.

Seriously? Microsoft just bought the last 2 GTA4 stories to make them exclusives . Considering GTA was a ps exclusive brand in the first place. Im still pissed about that! Just let us have something...let us haz Joker

"Considering GTA was a ps exclusive brand in the first place..."

LOL no.


I do, however, think exclusive DLC, regardless of platform, is rubbish.

I'd rather miss out on some DLC than the entire game, to be honest.

(Spoken as one who thoroughly enjoyed Fallout 3 on PS3 prior to PS3 DLC+GOTY announcement.)

What i meant was that the only console rockstar originally released GTA for was for playstation.... (unless you consider PC a console). But exclusive Content is rubbish.

@el serpiente
Yes, the 360 is my favourite console but I also own a PS3 and will be getting the game for that, due to the content. But I've never been fond of the idea of content being exclusive to any system.

How funny will it be when MS secure permanent exclusive New Vegas content, for example, that you can't play on your favourite system?

@crazy-008

did people forget about the gameboy color version or something?

I wasn't up in arms, but I don't recall ever saying much about it at all. It didn't affect me, I didn't expect it become a trend and I certainly didn't - and still don't expect it to remain exclusive. The Fallout content is already coming to the PS3, and I suspect the GTAIV stuff will shortly after it's all been released for the 360.

I also don't much like being called a "fanboy" especially by people who quite clearly are themselves. The 360 is my favourite console, yes, but I also own a PS3 as well as PSP, DS and Wii and like to think of myself as quite balanced in my opinions, even if the majority of what I'm interested in does revolve around the 360.

The content for Fallout and GTA didn't have a particularly big impact on sales of either version, most probably because people do expect it to be released on the others later. However, I can see this content shifting quite a few PS3 copies because of the way it's being marketed, and I'm pretty sure that will force MS to stop toying around with these timed exclusives and instead push for things they can keep forever. I *don't* want to see permanent exclusive stuff coming to games like Fallout or the Elder Scrolls, etc, in the future, but that's exactly what's going to happen because of this.

Geez, perhaps you should look up the meaning of fanboy. Along with hypocrit.

Yes, I have a favourite system, but I play good games regardless of what system they're on. I don't pretend to be completely unbiased, but I also don't pretend to be better than others who clearly have similar views of opposite systems.

Don't worry about El Serpiente, Snowblind- he's just a troll, judging from a majority of his comments throughout his time here on Joystiq. There's no need to explain yourself to someone who doesn't care/just wants to get a rise out of you, though I do agree with you 100%.

its just hilarious el slurpo is calling somebody a fanboy.

Like I said, nothing but a troll. I love it when these idiots do nothing but prove me right.

Amen bro, That is why I bought the PS3 collectors edition of love and affection. What a badass game.

We also get a Bat-Cave in PS Home!!

Like I said, Serpiente, nothing more than a troll. I'm sorry I can see the facts, and you just look for things to annoy people with. That link- my post was perfectly fine. How is that trolling? The game looks good but it's nothing more than hype. The fancy lighting (as in the "God rays") is probably nothing more than some sprites and the textures are not anything we haven't seen before... The models are great, but also nothing we haven't seen before- just like with Killzone 2.

Troll some more, El Serpiente- it's all you've ever done since you showed up.

OMG how can you LIVE without those spare pieces of FOAM>!>!?!
SO USEFULL!


Full of foam and win and foam.

the batarang isnt detachable from the stand and it's also made of shitty plastic, i doubt it will even kill a pumpkin. The manager working the midnight release at my gamestop said that was one of the reasons it got delayed because several states considered the metal batarang a deadly weapon.

Plastic? Is it at least super-hyper-polimer-Bat plastic? :(

it's not even high quality action figure plastic, it's just shitty generic dentist giveaway toothbrush plastic

and yet still better quality and value than the Fallout 3 clock.

Had it been metal, I would have bought it. This unbox video cost Eidos 50 bucks, as I'm now going for the regular edition on PC for 40 bucks instead of the collectors edition for 90 bucks.

A 30-50ish dollar premium (depending on where you buy) for a crappy plastic batarang? Really Eidos?

So were you able to use the $30 gift card toward the purchase of the game?!

Negative.

TRU thought ahead. It's good after 6 hours from activation.

This might be a double post.

That's a negative. TRU thought ahead and applied a 6 hour restriction before you can use it. Still, an amazing deal.

Oh well, it's still a great deal. I'm really considering running over there right now to get it...I just don't have a lot of money to spend right now unfortunately. Hmm...decisions.

STOp at 4:50!

I was thinking the same thing.

DON'T BOGART JUSTIN'S DLC!

I was kinda disappointed with that too. I picked up my copy on Saturday from my insider friends over at Gamestop. Guess it was safer and cheaper to produce that way. From a distance it still looks neat anyway, so the wanted effect was obtained.

the cheevos, of course!

He's a PS3 hater, don't you read his shots at the system in almost every PS3 news post he does?

Bluefrog got it exactly exactly right. Exactly. Nailed it.

Bluefrog, that was sarcasm right? I DO own a 360 but I also like my PS3 better. But I don't really have to much right to judge considering I only own two games for 360 and I don't have a gold account.

Sure I may be biased sometimes, but who isn't?

And if that wasn't sarcasm then you're an idiot.

It beats some CEs that just take the standard game and stuff it in a cardboard sleeve.

I'M LOOKING AT YOU, PRINCE OF PERSIA (also an Eidos product. Coincidence?)

Oooooooohh...we don't talk about THAT shameful bait and switch. D:<

What burns me even further is that the UK at least got a nice steelcase out of it.

I wanted to punch a baby when I found out I pre-ordered and paid full release price for the bonus of a friggin cardboard sleeve with the normal game (not even different case artwork) stuffed inside.
And then, a couple months later, you could pick it up for $20.

ARGH!
*pant*
*pant*
*deep breath*

*sigh*

Ok. I'm ok.
