    I'm probably picking it up tomorrow, but I doubt I'll be able to play it any time soon. Toys R Us has a sale tomorrow morning where the game costs the full $60, but you get back a $30 GC. With as much time as I shop at Babies R Us\Toys R Us, I'll use that card pretty rapidly.

    Yes (PS3 version). I used Amazon's "release date delivery" shipping option so it should be delivered to me tomorrow. Can't wait...the demo blew me away. I'll either start on it right away or wait until I finish Shadow Complex.

    They also got Paul Dini to do the writing. He was the main writer on the Batman: The Animated Series.

    Everything I've read say its really good. IGN called it the best comic based videogame ever. While I know thats the equivalent of being the smartest kid in a r****ded class, its still saying something.

    Anyway I wasn't planning on it before, but may end up scooping it up now. I am curious to see how the Joker plays in contrast to Batman.

    Well the Batman $30 gift card was from 10am to 2pm...but if you buy it today at any time, you still get a $20 gift card

    the wii deal is on til the 29th. it took 3 hours for my card to be activated, so i couldnt turn around and use it on a wii game right away

    Downloaded the demo, have yet to play it, but from all the reviews and what I've heard from others who bought the game today, it is a really good game.

    Picked it up, but I'm about to head to Houston for a week. So no playing it for at least a week.

    I've got my wife on board with picking up Wii Sports Resort and something else while that buy 1 get 1/2 off sale is going on. :cool:
