Default Re: Batman: Arkham City

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
