Pretty sure it's just the CE otherwise the packaging wouldn't be different. The normal one comes in a standard case where as the CE clearly has a different double disc case.

Well, I'm at about 25% through the Single Player campaign, and I am in love with this game. The developers put a lot of love in this game. I have 4 letters for it: G O T Y.

I gotta say, even though it doesn't visually look like it, I really feel like I'm playing in an episode of the animated series. Sooo damn good so far.

The game has arrived in a city about 30 miles away from me. Almost....there.....must control......self.....

Yes. I was thinking the same thing while I was playing last night. The voice acting does it for me. Same Batman, Harley Quinn (I think she's the same VA).
The Riddler Challenges are fucking amazing. Nice side quest addition and the way it's implemented (Riddler speaking to Bats through his ear piece)
I love this game.

I am so glad I've had the collector's pre-ordered since April, now to hope the postie leaves it by the door as annoyingly no-one is home this Thursday.

that shit looks so dope yo. is that metal?
This game really came out at the right time of year. Had it come out in October/November, I may not have even noticed how well it reviewed, since I'd be knee-deep in ODST, Forza, Uncharted, etc. It may have gotten swallowed up in the holiday rush, but it really has a time to shine here.
I'm thinking it hits some pretty big numbers in the NPD. Could be this year's Bioshock, which also, smartly, launched in late August.

Waiting on it from Amazon. Longest day ever.
Well fuck, after forcing myself to stay awake until midnight I got the sucker at Walmart (it has the fucking Walmart logo and advertisement about the unlockable batarmor suit directly on the artwork though which is fucking bullshit) and got home to play it for a grand total of... 20 minutes :lol I was so exhausted that I couldn't even enjoy it
Off to class now though and then home to play allllllll day and allllllll night. Can't wait

Yeah. The Batarang being plastic really kills the collector's edition for me. I'll just wait for the PC version.
... One month.

Damn Shake, I knew it was reviewing well, but that's crazily good.
The hell? The game shipped for me last night from Amazon... arrived in my town this morning at 7:30... and is now in Jacksonville and delayed due to weather or natural disaster? What? :lol
Let's just say I will be pretty disappointed if I'm not the god damn Batman tonight, Amazon...

Well Rocksteady just came out of nowhere as a good developer. I bet it isn't long before someone snatches them.

Best Buy are complete fucktards.
Went to price match and the stupid pimple pushing minimum wage flesh bag had the deer in the headlights look at the counter so he called over another mouth breathing flaw to help and she takes a thirty second look at the ad and says we do not do that.
So I showed them the printed policy and after another thirty seconds she says "but you have to be a toys r us member" and I reply I am and show proof also printed ahead of time for just such an event.
It only works at Toys R Us she says, we don't do it...
Now during this time, I might point out that they did not have the $10 card that Best Buy is supposed to offer according to their ad as well as the dvds where nowhere to be seen nor mentioned.
Now I know that I could have gone to a manager and had them call corporate and whatnot, but instead I said fuck it and went across the street to Toys R Us.
Still though...just saying...Best Buy are fucktards...

What is with the $10 card and dvds?
Also, If anyone has more horror stories/positive encounters about the Best Buy price match it would be nice to hear them.

I hate it when they do that. I mean it sucks if its a PSN mark or something but when its a store its enough to make me go elsewhere and pay more if I had to.ThePeacemaker02 said:FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU WAL-MART. That is printed on the actual paper part of the case. I would forever greatful to anyone who could upload one without that stupid thing on there.

The ad for Best Buy this week says you get a $10 gift card and a double dvd of Batman Mask of the Phantasm/Mr Freeze when you buy Arkham Asylum.

Because I would rather not have to put out the $30 in the first place (Best Buy policy says that they take the card off of the price when price matching) and I was going to use that 30 to pick up Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz (from Best Buy) on blu ray.
Instead I have a $30 card from Toys R Us which is nice and all but I rarely shop there to be honest and I still had to fork out that $30 to begin with.
