this game is awesome. i was obsessed with getting all the riddler challenges but there are just way too many and playing the game in detective mode 90% of the time totally ruins the experience.

im gonna try to get it at bestbuy cuz they're giving free strategy guides with it. tho if that runs out, then maybe walmart for the downloadable armored suit? correct me if im wrong?
on another note, play as joker downloadable content is on psn

GET YOUR GAME NOW FROM BESTBUY OR FUTURESHOP ONLINE. IF YOU ADD IT TO CART IT SHOWS UP AS $7.67. THEN DO INSTORE PICK UP. HURRY BEFORE THEY FIX THIS PRICE ERROR! ITS AROUND 12:20AM NOW
doesnt hurt to try to see if it works or not. after tax its 8.59

08-25-2009, 12:35 AM
Yes because it's a savings. :) Under 10 bucks for a new game is unheard of. I might pick it up just because it's cheap and the reviews are in the 9's.

okay this is intentional...bestbuy wants more publicity cause they didnt get enough from their $10 LCD TV
i was gonna do a ISPU after 12am so i can get a copy tmr if i decided to walk in during late afternoon
$8.59..I just did ISPU for both 360/PS3 at BB..this is too funny lol
For shit n giggles i tried futureshop..they denied my BB gift card (which usually works) said it was temp unavailable..then i tried it a 2nd time it said it was invalid lol

i think those of us who ordered it last nite at 7.67 will get an email soon saying that they messed up and that they will only sell it to us for 38.83. source from RFD:
"Please note, due to a system error, pricing inadvertently showed as $7.67 per unit.
The actual price is $38.83.
Your copy is being held, should you accept the corrected price.
We apologize, but shall not be selling at the initial incorrect pricing.".
but anyways i got my copy from walmart but still contemplating if the free guide is worth it or not.
correct me if im wrong on these for exclusives:
BB: get free strategy guide
FS: no free stuff
EB: get scarescrow maps
WM: get armored suit
EDIT:
just got a email from bb saying that my order is cancelled :fuuuuu:

Apparently there were some that got it for $8 bucks ... Here's the link to the reciept, not sure what you can do about it, can't really PM but I guess this is one plus of living on the East Coast, errors pass through and by the time we get our chance its fixed ...

BB Lansdowne are taking rainchecks for the strategy guide.
I was the 7th person, only 14 total.
Turns out the reason why their website doesn't show the free guide anymore is because of the lowered price.
Oh well, free guide for me.
Hope all goes well to everyone.

I woke up early today and I checked the price again. Back to the 38 dollar price FUUUUUU. I was so happy yesterday night when I went to sleep thinking i could get a copy for 7.67 :lol. Anyway, I'll ask my sister what's up with this when she's back from work....

Never at BB haha. I went to sleep thinking it would be canceled. If you read BB's Terms and Conditions it clearly says any price errors will be canceled or something along those lines. Either way they have it worded to protect their own ass. Ah wells no Batman for me.

just beat the game and got every riddler challenge. the game is pretty short, took me about 3 days playing ~3.5 hours each day. probably takes even less time if you don't go for the challenges. still a very polished and fun game with a lot of different gameplay elements though. this is the only game that i actually spent time looking for the hidden stuff. the interview tapes are pretty interesting if you're into the batman storyline too.
the combat challenges are friggin hard though, don't think i can get 100% on my file :(

Werd. Normally I'm not that type of hardcore gamer where I need to try and find all secrets and finish it at 100%. However, with this one as I was playing I realized that the riddles were pretty easy and by the time I finished the game I was already at like 80%. Went back and finished all the riddles, found all those Chornicles and finished all the predator challenges. Now i'm at like 92% I think and if just need to finish all the battle challenges and i'm at 100%
