Hold on, just a couple of things from someone in the same town as Rock Steady

There is a 4 month delay in a European release for the GOTY edition....4 months??? Just what genius came up with that idea following the big announcement yesterday of it being a May 29th release?

Also, the Batman Year One off being a US and Canada only offer....with the 4 month delay on release, is there plans for a replacement offer for our regions or will there be a price difference as a result of the lack of GOTY content

Have to say, the fact that the US is not only getting the GOTY before all other regions, and the blatant obvious fact that they are getting the "best" version compared to other regions is just a shocking insult to fans of the series and a big big mistake, especially with the lack of Batman Year One and cant believe that Rock Steady, a developer based in my own town of London England has been so short-sighted with this one

Thanks Sarah but thats not really an explanation more then an excuse

Also, will Europe and other regions be getting a replacement offer for the Batman Year One content, surely in the 4 months gap those fans can hope that Rock Steady will arrange something for them, we will of course be asked to pay the same price for the GOTY?

I can't comment on that unfortunately, I will however make sure Warner Bros are aware of this request/feedback.

[CokneyCharmer]

Hope something can be done, because currently it really is looking that as far as the GOTY is concerned, every region outside the US and Canada is getting short changed, and then expected to wait 4 more months for it

Final question, with all the DLC being contained on a separate disc with no downloading, does this mean that the disc can be shared with other people so they can install use the DLC from that disc with their own copy of Batman Arkham City or is the DLC played from that Disc itself?

Thank you Sarah for taking the time to reply to me, always appreciate it when Community Managers do take time to interact with community

Final question : It won't work, we will be releasing a more detailed tech breakdown of how it all works closer to release
