Tons of goodies for down under

Australia usually seems to get the short end of the gaming stick: high prices, restrictive censors, and wallabies talking smack on Xbox LIVE are just the beginning of their problems. Fortunately, the good folks at Rocksteady are sympathetic to the cause and are sending the sweet "Steelbook Edition" of their upcoming Batman: Arkham City to EB Games stores exclusively in Australia.

The "Steelbook Edition" of Arkham City is set to include the following:

* Batman Arkham City Steel Book Case
* "Joker Carnival" Challenge Map DLC
* 70’s Batsuit skin DLC
* Batman Under the Red Hood DVD

The "Steelbook Edition" of Batman: Arkham City will cost Aussies $98, the same price as the regular edition of the game at other retailers. Gamers not in Australia need not fear, however, as we're getting a collector's edition, too.

Batman: Arkham City will be gliding into stores on October 18th in North America, October 19th in Australia and October 21st in Europe.

Meanwhile, all blood, violence, and instances of the words "damn", "hell", "poop" and "hello" are edited out for the special edition

EB Games website in Australia has the full Arkham City Collectors Edition.

And if Aussies getting the short end of the stick means they get this version of Dead Island then I want the short end! Much better than what is on offer in the UK.

About time they got something good :)

I won't be getting this, I didn't get Asylum either, but it's nice to see that they're getting something for a change.

USA get everything cause the games industry mostly revovles around there.
most the big publishers have thier HQs there and its because america has more gamers than anyone else so its why they get good stuff and earlier than the rest of us.But still good to see australia getting something decent

Whoa whoa whoa...did Japan sink into the ocean?!

And I think U.S. gets it because you pump your product in regions that are spending. wink

P.S. If I get this game, that 70's Suit is very much needed as I put in work in Gotham.
