Arkham City finally got a release date, but October 18 is still a ways off. That doesn't mean Warner Bros. and retailers can't start hawking pre-order bonuses early, which they are.
The official Arkham Citywebsite features four major North American retailers -- Amazon, Wal-Mart, GameStop, and Best Buy -- though only two have pre-order incentives attached. Guess which ones those are? If you picked C and D, reward yourself with a cookie and a pat on the back.
GameStop, the video game retailer everyone loves to hate, is offering an exclusive "Joker's Carnival" challenge map with pre-orders. Best Buy, another retailer with a less-than-positive reputation, is throwing in a "combo pack" deal. Not too sure what that is, though we're guessing it's something like special moves or skills for the Bat. Just in case it wasn't made clear, Amazon.com and Wal-Mart have no related pre-order incentives at this time.
Neither GameStop nor Best Buy had these these pre-order perks listed on their Arkham City product pages yet, last we checked, but don't let that stop you from getting an early start. Or, you know, check back later.
