Batman: Arkham City PC receives mini delay
20
Batman: Arkham City's official November 18 launch date for PC in North America has been slightly shifted to November 22. Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment also stated the PC version will be available November 23 in Australia, November 24 in France and Benelux, and other European territories beginning November 25.
Although WBIE wouldn't confirm, a major South African retailer has stated the game won't launch on PC until December in the region.
The PC launch will occur just as the "Robin Bundle Pack" hits the digital distribution circuit.

Doesn't matter that much right now. All my attention is currently at Skyrim.
Srsly, I cannot wait anymore. It's getting painful...

Oh, I almost forgot about the final Minecraft release! Holy Shit, no real-life for the next months after 11.11.11....

You have those dates wrong.
Was:
18th UK/EU.
15th for US
Now:
25th UK/EU
22nd US
In other words, one week delay... (on top of the month delay, which they have explained the reasoning for.)
I am, unfortunately, an expert in this field.

Unfortunately, you are wrong good sir. I assure you, as someone anxiously awaiting this release, it was indeed being released on the 18th in the US/Canada.
As for the delay, I'd be upset but in three days I shed my current life and take up the rightful mantle of Dovahkiin, Dragonborn.

Actually it's been delayed multiple times. Originally it was set for an October 18 release date, same as console, then it was delayed to November 15, then November 18, now November 22. I'm just happy I got it for free with my GTX 560 Ti, otherwise I would be complaining.

If only Valve knew of mini delays...

We need DLC with Crazy Quilt, damnit!

I wouldn't expect the PC DLC to have the same release dates as the console ones. Not sure why you mentioned that, Joystiq.

I've been sitting on my Free copy I got with my video card I bought for BF3 since September.

I have a feeling that Arkham City will be getting a special 'pirate bay' launch in the South African region way before December...
I understand the need to push back a PC release to deter piracy, but it makes no sense to fragment the already late release even further. Such moves only encourage pirates.

Well, Steam has a 1-day-15-hour countdown but sadly no preloading yet. So we know what that means if they don't. +8 hours to download as the servers get hammered on unlock.
