Synopsis
When night falls on Gotham and the seedy undergrowth of the city emerges, Batman is there waiting. Ever vigilant, the Dark Knight monitors the city he protects from high above the gritty streets. No one knows his deepest secret — except Dr. Hugo Strange. With Gotham's criminally insane, vile villains and insidious characters confined within the walls of Arkham City, Batman must fight to ensure his true identity remains hidden from the citizens he vows to protect.

The Dark Knight returns to Gotham in the follow-up to the award-winning Arkham Asylum in Batman: Arkham City. This exclusive Collector's Edition brings the Caped Crusader to life in a whole new way with a premium statue, a beautifully designed art book, Gotham Knight animated content, early access to digital add-on content and more. Explore this all-new world that is five times larger than the Asylum using a variety of new and enhanced gameplay features. Glide, soar and grapple through the City as you engage in hand-to-hand combat against enemies or take advantage of Batman's trademark stealth maneuvers. Interact with an infamous cast of classic characters, including Dr. Hugo Strange, who knows the deep, dark secret of the Caped Crusader.

If the goods are in stock (see indication on the availability of goods), delivery time is usually 24 hours of shipment of goods - ie, to about 48 hours from receipt of order. In other cases please inform the availability of the e-mail eshop@gamecz.cz or by calling 212 249 520th Delivery preowned (used) goods is usually 2-4 days. Currently, we deliver goods only within the Czech Republic!

You and me both. If the Czech Republic and Hungary get their own specific versions, what does that mean for the major steelbook countries, like Canada, France, and Germany?

By the way, this is kind of a long shot, but are there any Czech users that would be willing to help us out too? There are apparently some other GAME.cz exclusives that came under the radar (Heroes of Might & Magic VI and possibly Infamous 2).

For the Two-Face Edition you can most probably get it from 365games as they also stock US games plus the currency can be converted to US Dollars. See if you can create an account and it should show that they can ship to Canada as well?!?

So really no way in knowing. But, there's bound to be some up on ebay.ca right? So I could grab some off there if you really want it. :)

As nobody else has bothered, here is the link to the Blockbuster exclusive Penguin SteelBook:

X360 - http://www.blockbuster.co.uk/product/xbox-360/xbox-360-games/batman-arkham-city-steel-book-exclusive/269735.htm

From what I can make out, they only have the X360 version as a SteelBook. Not sure whether this will change at a later date, or whether the other versions have since sold out, but the X360 version is the only one I could find listed on their website

I'm just wondering if it'd be worth it just to wait for an eBay seller to offer all the Steelbooks without the game?? And if they chance they "ask" for less than buying each one of them at full price with a game in it?!?

Plus, the pre-order Skins/Challenges DLC will most likely all be available for purchase on the PSN/LIVE stores eventually.

Imagine them releasing 10 Steelbooks....at AU$100 each! That's a lot of $$ to be spent just to have the entire Steelbook collections!! :S And don't forget the TWO variations of the normal Collector's Edition as well :suicide: lolcries

I think it might just be an error on their page. They've been updating it ever since the day it got announced bit by bit.

I went on this afternoon and the main product page was live but you couldn't order through that, so I searched it, in the results I clicked "Buy" and it worked (doesn't work now though...)

Keep checking though. I suspect it's just an error...surely they'd make more Joker steelbooks, right?

Edit: Here (http://www.tescoentertainment.com/store/games/sony-playstation-3-batman--arkham-city-%28joker-steelbook-edition%29-with-tesco-exclusive-jokers-carnival-challenge-map/8:734185/) is where I get taken to from my order history. Incorrect URL perhaps?

As for the Hungarian release, it will be available from www.remnantgame.hu (http://www.remnantgame.hu/), which I believe only ships within Hungary. For some reason hardly any websites online actually mention this retailer


I am also attempting to compile a definitive list of retailers which are stocking Batman: Arkham City SteelBooks, so please PM me with any info you have about any other ones not mentioned - I heard a rumour that Greece may have an exclusive, and the US may have a few as well. I need more input!

Now that the game is out, if forumers could start posting pics of editions, it would be greatly appreciated (I just need to see which editions i may want to hunt down)

Anyways heres the JB Hi-Fi Robin edition. It came with a 3D lenticular cardboard slip cover over the game itself, which was a nice surprise.
When they were advertising their pre-order exclusive bonus i thought it would be just download cards added, but it was a whole 'different' edition

As I was typing my last post I received two of the four SteelBooks I ordered - The Joker and Two Face ones which I bought from Tesco Entertainment and ShopTo respectively. I bought the X360 versions

I can confirm that both of these come with a plastic slipcover, and both are almost identical except for the images printed on the back of the SteelBook. The plastic slipcovers are exactly the same, although the Two Face one has a sticker over the barcode with a different barcode printed on it


Three down, two to go. Still waiting for the Penguin one from Blockbuster and the Catwoman one from Amazon.co.uk. Just received an eMail from Blockbuster to say it's on its way, but Amazon eMailed me earlier in the week to say that because I used Super Saver delivery I won't get it on release day, which I personally think is a bit off considering this is a pre-order and they had plenty of time to dispatch it earlier

As soon as I have all four, I will post up some comparison pictures and a group shot.


On a side note, I see that some people from outside the UK are getting screwed with their SteelBooks. FutureShop in Canada are distributing the Two Face one without the plastic slipcover, and giving it away alongside the standard copies of the game, so I suspect that they have been aquired from the UK and stripped of any UK branding so they can distribute them in Canada. I also suspect the same might be true with the various other non-UK editions, although time will tell

Looking at the pictures posted above, I believe the Aussies have done the same as they usually do and have just covered up the UK ratings with an Aussie sticker

I have just received my fourth and final SteelBook. I will do some pictures soon so you can see all four together. I am now regretting not getting a set of PS3 versions, but unfortunately my bank balance wouldn't allow it

All four UK SteelBooks appear similar, with the only differences being the actual picture on the back and a different barcode on each plastic slipcover. All feature the UK BBFC 15 rating logo on them, which is reassurance that they are intended solely for the United Kingdom and not aquired elsewhere in Europe and sold here as an exclusive

Also, having spotted the Joker SteelBooks in my local Tesco store, I can confirm that the UK PS3 SteelBooks are indeed G2 size, which I know a few people were asking about

Against my better judgment initially I decided to go for a complete PS3 set. Got them all except the Two-Face so far because luckily, although I hadn't preordered, the Catwoman briefly came back into stock at Amazon on Monday. No DLC though.

The edition that was released in Greece had these included (no animated movie, but 6 skins instead):

That's EU Collector's Edition - no film/skins instead, but UK version suppose to have DVD. I would prefer Gotham Knight DVD than skins. Still waiting for 18th because of my PC CE. I will see what will be included.

Here's a piece of info that might be of relevance to anybody interested in getting a full set of the variants. The HMV exclusive lenticular cover - previously announced as a pre-order bonus - is now being sold in the shops (well, in my local, at least . . .).

Which, I suppose, makes it an official retail release :think:

Saturn
11-19-2011, 12:22 PM
There's a store over here that has a lenticular cover exactly like the regular cover. I've only seen that cover in those stores. Is that available in other places? I've never seen it anywhere else.

i just received my arkham city steelbook catwoman edition from amazon germany...there is NO SLIP OVER as shown in the photo..and the game disc itself is DISLODGED inside, banging up and down the steelbook since shipment..i did'nt want to open it..but i'm sure the disc is scratched up inside..i feel let down by amazon.de :(

thats probably the dlc slip moving around inside

Twisted
11-21-2011, 03:21 AM
mosavon are you sure?.about that?..it makes a loose "plasticity" sound..like something just shifting constantly back n fourth..is the DLC content card something more than paper?..

mosavon
11-21-2011, 04:22 AM
all the ones ive handled, and ive handled a few have the same noise your describing...im fairly certain its the dlc slip moving back and forth

Twisted
11-21-2011, 05:04 AM
thank you mosavon..but i have 2 from UK..and one from germany..the one that sounds to be like something plastic like is sifting around is from germany and a lot more pronounced then the 2 copies i have from UK...the ones you had handled were they german amazon.de or the UK versions?..

Finally managed to complete my set of UK PS3 variants, so here's a few pics of 'em all together.

For some reason these steelbooks don't photograph very well unless they're in direct sunlight . . .and I didn't have any :sorry:

Plus picked up a sealed copy of the Catwoman Hardcover Strategy Guide which is quite hard to come by at a decent price these days

http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd366/kennyrh1/IMG_0503.jpg http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd366/kennyrh1/IMG_0504.jpg

I'm gonna leave it sealed for a few days and then maybe take some pics of the lithographs inside.

Ask Midlandmaster, he has a copy. But it does a have a lenticular slip-cover [with the Robin art cover] and I believe it also has a different art work on the normal cover [that will need to be confirmed by anybody who got one]. I managed to obtain a promo cover of the Robin cover, there's virtually no difference to the retail copy but the 'Display box only' print on the back of the cover. :)

themidlandmaster
11-22-2011, 04:07 AM
Yep, it is a slipcase, the regular game case has the robin art.

Judging by the picture they're displaying on their site, I would say it has a Robin cover on the case, if not, then it's false advertisement. Again, I'm sure Mdilandmaster will be able to confirm that ;)

Yes, Robin cover. The Robin edition and dlc sold for 89, and the regular edition for 78

And it is exclusive to Australia

You can still order it but be aware it's only for PS3 [and it will leave you skint :D ] http://www.yesasia.com/global/batman-arkham-city-collectors-edition-japan-version/1024783384-0-0-0-en/info.html

Hard to tell V, if anything, it's been catered for the Japanese market only and only for the PS3 format. As far as anything in Japanese, they don't make too many and sell out almost completely unless it's not a successful product?!? Again, hard to tell. :S
