CAGiversary!
Hi guys,

I just realised there is no Batman Arkham City Preorder Guide:

So i've started this thread to list the deals. Seems like the game is big enough to warrant that.



Please post if i get stuff wrong or you find out new things. This whole preorder ordeal is really confusing (especially with the US deals muddying up the water)

So far:

The Collectors edition comes with:
•Custom Batman statue produced by Kotobukiya
•Collectible art book
•Early access to the Iceberg Lounge Challenge Map and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns skin
•Batman: Arkham City album from WaterTower Music including original songs by hit artists, available via digital redemption
•Bonus DC Universe animated original movie, Batman: Gotham Knight


Retailer Specific console deals:
Tescos:
Batman Arkham City - Joker Steel Book edition (comes with exclusive Joker challenge map)
Joker Challenge map

SE: £34.70 using this deal (360 / PS3)
CE: £55.00 360 / PS3


Amazon:

Pre-order bonus: Batman Earth One skin DLC (this applies to Collectors edition as well) If preordered before October 20th.

Nicely done! Looks like Tesco is the one to beat at the moment, price-wise. (£34.70 using code EXM5TOP5-1)
 
Very good list. I'd like to add a couple of deals for the PC users out there. Firstly, the game is available for just over £20 at Green Man Gaming if you use the code "AUTUM-NSALE-20PEC" at the checkout. Here is the link: http://www.greenmangaming.com/games/action/batman-arkham-city/

You can also get the PC version alongside the Blu-Ray version of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight for £24.85 at The Hut at this link: http://www.thehut.com/games/platfor...ht/-batman-begins-bluray-bundle/10564453.html

Bear in mind that the PC version has been delayed until November, meaning that it will be released a few weeks after the console versions. Furthermore, the PC version will run through Games For Windows Live, which a lot of people aren't very keen on, but, on the plus side, it does allow you to link your achievements to your Xbox Live profile.
 
Just ordered from tesco. Mum works at tesco so with her discount got it for £31. Sad it's not the Robin one but £9 more for Robin I'm not too bothered about.
 
very nice work there, Toilet :p

but i think this whole "exclusive preorder bonus" thing is getting a bit out of hand... am i wrong?
 
Good thread ToiletDuck, might be good to add some images for those on the fence about the steelbook or costume DLCs?
I think the preorders are getting a bit too confusing. The one I'm going for is:

Gamestop (UK):
Batman: Arkham City - standard edition only but with the Batman Beyond Skin.

Steel book looks awesome shame there is no PC one it would have been a pre-order still maybe I will be able to hold off long enough for a goty with all the dlc edition
 
HMV (in Chester at least) have advertised in the window that if you trade in either Forza 4 or RAGE you can get Batman for 99p.

I'm fairly sure it was the one with the Tshirt and other goodies too.

If you can get RAGE for £30 from some places or have completed it and yet to trade it in could be a steal.

Think it said the deal was good until the 28th, but not positive.
 
Some Americans have been selling DLC codes on ebay. The Robin code alone is selling for $25. It seems some people are desperate.
