I'm in the same boat but my justification for waiting another month is (a) it's cheaper; (b) it'll run and look much better than the console versions, since it uses DX11 and tessellation; and (c) it'll all be completely fresh as I won't have played the console version first like I did with Arkham Asylum. I don't think I could resist buying the PC version if I owned the 360 version as I know Arkham Asylum was a much more enjoyable experience on the PC with PhysX and a 60 fps framerate.
It's annoying that the game has been delayed but, to be honest, there are so many other games I'm playing at the moment, including RAGE (PC), Dark Souls (PS3), FIFA 12 (PC) and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record (PC), that it is probably for the best anyway!

can anyone confirm if Physx is on the 360 version?

Hey, do you know if anything unlocks for Batman after completing the game? Like skins or something.

Crap, I just ran the numbers and theres no way I can buy this game until a few weeks, I'll have to cancell the preorder so they don't send it. Moving can be such a bastard. I basically have to pay rent twice in the same month of checks and my new rent is much higher than my current place. I'm going to move into a new cool place and be sitting on the floor and eating ramen for a week until I get payed

C'mon man, priorities!!! But no seriously, I had to go through this as well at the beginning of the year. At least there weren't a million AAA titles coming out all at once at the time.

In a year with all these heavy hitters coming out Arkham City is my dark horse for GOTY.

The console versions use software PhysX, which runs off the CPU, so there's no reason why the Xbox 360 version wouldn't have it if the PS3 is also using it.
It's only the PC version which uses the GPU for PhysX, on NVIDIA graphics cards only, and this is why the effects are so much more impressive than in the console versions of Arkham Asylum.

Same here tbh. *Really* want to play it when it releases on the 21st (UK), but paying another 25-26 quid for it two or three weeks later on PC isn't a nice thought, since I'm broke.

How is this unbelievable? This seems perfectly in-line with the direction the industry has been going.
WB making ballsy moves. They'll no doubt charge a premium price to people without the code too. Tough place for used retail as Catwomen is all over their marketing campaign and even rear box art.The perfect Dark said:
It only mentions this when you start up the game? Nothing on the box at all? If so, that's kind of shady.

Kmart is giving a 30 dollar gaming credit card AND a 10 dollar credit towards the new Lord Of The Rings game. I hope the new LOTR is good.
I'd rather have the rumored T-shirt though but I'll take the LOTR cred..

Sorry but i don't see the problem. It was confirmed the game will use online pass.
Buy the game day 1 and you have no problems with it, or buy the game later and pay for catwoman.

Buy it new, you can play as Catwoman. It can screw over people who don't have access to internet through their consoles or rent/buy used. You're getting the PC version, so neither of those should apply to you.Skilletor said:

So what I thought first is true, they lock out and entire playable character in the SP for people who rent buy used or borrow from their friends. Isn't DLC awesome guys!! Honestly all this does is make my desire to buy the game when it comes out diminish.The perfect Dark said:
What happens to people who aren't connected to the internet?
Lifejumper said:
Not that I could see, but then again I didn't check my unlocks during the game until I was done so everything just piled on me at once. Sorry.
(I couldn't even figure out where to switch Skins, I wanted to see if I had an Animated Catwoman skin as well as a 3d model)

A worrying non-update concerning the possibility of Robin,
, etc. not being made available for the PC version. Following a week of silence after Rocksteady's community manager said she'd look into whether or not the PC version would get DLC, some of the members on the official forum were getting a bit impatient concerning the matter (read: rude).
The community manager finally chimed in again but offered only the following on the subject:

yeah, everything I preordered has been piling up while i'm tryng to save money. When I was unemployed the first 6 months of the year I had time and money, now I have a good job and no money, WTF?!augmental said:
This one kind of sucks too. I wanted the preorder costumes and I wanted to play this sooner than later

No it's not. It's happened before, and it will happen more and more. The games industry hates Used sales because they make no money from them. If you want to play this and buy used, you have to give them a token amount. It's pretty simple.

Was plannin' on getting this for PC but if indeed no DLC, then PS3 it is =/

I am playing AA on PS3 right now for the first time since someone let me barrow it, runs good. I hate the DS3 though so Batman:AC will be 360 for me!

I live 3h-4h from the German frontier... Hmm This is so tempting, knowing that I get tomorrow afternoon off.
Must resist. Do something else this week end. But have such a urge to play this game.
Arghhhgg.

Why are we still surprised by this?
Buy the game new...and it's not a problem.
Buy it used and you're missing content. Devs and publishers have every right to try to discourage people from taking part in the trade in market.

I don't know... It could be that they are saving their PC announcements for after the console release and everything will still in fact come to PC, but I'd say it's only fair to be upfront about it right now so that people can make informed purchasing decisions.Derrick01 said:
I'll get the PC version no matter what, although I won't be pleased if there's no DLC. However, some people might prefer a console version if there won't be DLC for PC and it would be nice for them to know one way or the other now so they still have a chance to cash in on the various preorder bonuses.
But if there is no DLC for PC -- on top of the (still ambiguous) delay that is pushing it right into heavy competitive traffic -- Rocksteady/WB better not simply blame lower-than-expected PC sales on 'piracy.' Right now it almost seems like they are sabotaging the PC version.

I want to fucking play it in PC, but WB doesnt let me.
I dont even know how many weeks I have to wait for the PC PAL version.

Why's that? Is it getting exclusive content again?
The Nature Roy said:
It really does seem like they're purposely trying to make the PC version sell as little as possible.
Isn't the rumored new date for it the 8th? That puts it right on top of Call of Duty which is massively popular on Steam. I mean if given a choice between the two I'd choose Batman easily but how many out there would choose COD, especially given the treatment Rocksteady/WB have given us?

I think it's 8th for US and 12th for Europe or something dumb like that. Hopefully steam will at least let people preload.
