Arkham City is awesome so far, waited on the midnight release line to get it! :D

Luckily I found a website giving out ALL of the DLC codes for free. They even had Nightwing and Robin codes!

if anyone's interested in getting some of their own DLC codes, the site I got them from is here:

The amount of milking dlc of this game has got to hold a record.

Seriously, how many skins are we at now?

Is giving stuff away considerd milking? I realize you have to buy stuff but I'd imagine the people chasing this stuff down would get it anyway.

But how much of it was made in addition to the game, and how much is already on the disc? Wouldn't it bother you if your favorite artist sold an album folder on Amazon, but you had to decrypt some file to get at it or pay them money?

They are just skins, If it was exclusive maps then I would be annoyed

@RobertCarr This. I'm fairly confident that I'll feel as though I got my $60's worth of value out of Batman Arkham City even with the lack of cosmetics that my own copy will have.

Are you saying that purchasing an artist's CD entitles you to every song they've made?

On that CD, yes. Yes I feel purchasing that CD entitles me to every work that is printed on it.

@Its The Rocketeer

then you would be wrong, every band has what's called outtakes, songs they recorded for the album, but don't end up making the cut. most bands will record 30+ songs, just to get 10 released ones. They use the rest for b-sides and (if the band is big/cult enough) as outtakes/alt-takes/rarities albums (or, y'know, DLC).

This is not a new thing

Thats cool and all but how man damn skins do they have? Sure I made cognizant decision to purchase AC from a specific retailer to get the Batman TAS skin. Hopefully these skins end up as DLC wouldn't mind some of them.

Some of them have trophies attached. If the trophy list matches the achievement list then they'll have to sell them.

The sticker says Early Access. So, we can then assume that it will be released as non-exclusive DLC in time.

That's "canon", Joystiq, not "cannon". Pirates use cannons, writings are canonical.

This skin comes at a high price, though, and it's not the price of the Blu-Ray.

It's the fact that you'd own the extended cut of this movie as a result.

You could always look for people who buy this without PS3s and ask if they would give up their code.

You certainly could, but then your friends would see you using the skin and they would think that you somehow liked Green Lantern enough to buy an extended cut on Blu-Ray.

I don't know about you, but that's not something I want my friends thinking about me.

@MystcLazrDragon I'm a huge Green Lantern (Kyle Raner) fan and the people I know that saw the movie told me it wasn't half bad. Tomorrow I'm going to get my copy of Guardians of the Universe and will buy this if the prices are good.

@The angry pro consumer gaming ga It was pretty terrible man. I prefer Kyle also, but this movie was just not something I want to see again. On the other hand, Green Lantern #1 was one of the best of DC's 52 event issues.

I would rather have Bats in the style he was in when he took Hal's ring for a bit.

I can't see Bats in the Sinestro Corps

I was planning on buying this movie anyways, now I know WHERE I plan to buy it! That's a cool bonus, but how do you know if it's a code for Xbox or PS3?

"however it is exclusive to a specific console: Seeing as this is a Blu-Ray and all, the included code is a PSN code, and therefore only functional on PS3 copies of the game."

The sinestro corps outfit is pretty darn appropriate for Batman, but since we're talking about additional skins, what I'd really like to see is a Darkwing Duck outfit. Can you imagine bruce rocking the purple peacoat and pimp cape?

I thought this was cool, but not if it is only at Best Buy. They are super expensive. Their combo packs run $30 in my area, where other stores have them for $20 or so.
Besides, as long as I have the Batman skin (you know, the one on the BOX), that's all I need.

Probably depends on your BB, often if you buy them the first wee they have a lower price like $24 or 29. after that it jumps to something way ridiculous like 36 bucks.

The only Best Buy anywhere near me is 45 minutes away, and they usually have sales for $25 the first week, but I can get it for $20 (sometimes less) 10 minutes away. Not worth going all that way and paying $5 for a skin that will probably be on the PS3 later as DLC for only a couple bucks.

Well I did say it depends. If you;ve got better places good for you. I live in NY and everything is generally in one place even if I were to choose another store it'd probably be in the same place.
