atosniper 1 Posted August 28, 2009 Play asia has the asian version for $60 but it doesn't say if it's region free or not, the US version is but I don't want to make the assumption that the asian one is as well just in case. Be careful, usually the asian region ones are region restricted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morris 11 Posted August 28, 2009 I'll be checking JB tomorrow for it which is only the 27th but Thursday is the usual day for releases in Australia, so you never know.All JB stores have been told that there's a strict Sept 3rd release date. No one is breaking embargo unless someone else has done so, and only when confirmed by head office. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Solid_Snake 0 Posted August 28, 2009 Dungeon Crawl (In melbourne) is selling the X360 NTSC-J version, and according to some whirlpool users it works perfectly on a PAL console. I'll wait for the PAL release myself though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So all the rumours over at ecogamer (re" Melbourne and Brissy stores selling it) have no bearing whatsoever... but to be sure, I'd be ducking into my local EB/GAME/JB on Monday afternoon!

I'll wait for the PAL release myself though. According to play asia the the game appears to be completely region free so go for it, they're never wrong about this stuff. I grabbed it on Playasia with shipping it's still under $65. http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-ek-49-en-70-3cqk.html Edited August 28, 2009 by Aki54 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elfinke 0 Posted August 28, 2009 I fucking hate street dates >:/ /on topic: Hot diggity-damn Batman:AA is getting some serious love. I thought the bit of it I played in June was a fantastic bit of sneak 'em up and clobber 'em, and you guys are enjoying the demo as well, so it all bodes well.

Lord-Ezekiel 0 Posted August 29, 2009 One of the best games iv'e seen this year - must buy for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheMojorising 0 Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) Love the crap out of the demo but like The_End Im a little worried about it being a bit short. While I will be definetly buying this. Im just not sure when - probably wont be forking out brand new EB Games prices... Is ordering games from Play-Asia still worth it edit: forgive me, ive had fuck all sleeping hit up the town last night and just noticed the previous post mentioning the proice Edited August 29, 2009 by Mojorising Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aki54 0 Posted August 29, 2009 I've heard a few various reports on the length of the game and it's apparently 12 hours + for the story and more to get 100% of the items and complete all the challenge rooms. Decent length if it's as good as it's supposed to be, Bioshock didn't take that long so I'm happy with the reported length. @ Mojo Is playasia still worth it? Matter of opinion really. If you want games on launch day then no but I doubt you'll find Arkham Asylum anywhere cheaper in a store than the roughly $65 they're charging for the Asia region free version.

Aki54 0 Posted August 31, 2009 I'm probably gonna be murdered for this but I like the Harley Quinn redesign. It's not perfect but it's a step in the right direction. Her previous outfit was far to cartoonish and would've looked silly in the aesthetic they've built for this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morris 11 Posted August 31, 2009 The batarang in the collectors edition is made of plastic :( Everyone around me heard that it was metal, but I got one to display in my store today and it's plastic :( Mine was scratched bad too. The rest of the bonus stuff is sweet, but I'm a little disappointed in the batarang. (I only got some of the extra stuff. None of the game yet) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hectorbustnuts 44 Posted August 31, 2009 I DLed the "prequel" comic the other day (I couldn't wait!) It's pretty sweet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morris 11 Posted August 31, 2009 I got the prequel comic last week. It is sweet indeed. I loved how Bane looks (back cover). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thylacine 0 Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) WTFing prequel comic where ?!? /googles Pissed that it's plastic, that's a bit bodgy :-( I suppose there'd be trouble with it being metal, either with customs or selling to kids... EDIT: Downloading now, wheeeee Edited August 31, 2009 by thylacine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morris 11 Posted September 1, 2009 Meh. I have a hardcopy of the comic. None of this downloading stuff for me. It's very small though. More like a booklet. I've been told that the batarang is meant to look "weathered" hence the scratches. I'm interested in the other stuff for the collectors one so I'm still getting it, but I'm not happy with the batarang. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elfinke 0 Posted September 2, 2009 EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE just got a call that my pre-order's available (they breached street date, love 'em!). Can confirm that the street date was broken at 11am this morning. Depending on who your local is, they may or may not have it on the shelf; you may have to ask the staff to sell you a copy. But it is definitely out now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
