Batman Collector's Edition includes 14" Batarang

Sweet Arkham Asylum package detailed, priced
Eidos is putting together a Collector's Edition package for Batman: Arkham Asylum that you actually might want to spend the extra cash on - because it includes a 14" Batarang.

It's not metal, obviously, because that would be lethal. But if there aren't people fuzzing them at each other in shopping malls and in the offices of videogame publications soon then there's no fun in the world.

As well as the Batarang, which is modelled off the one in the game and comes with a fancy stand, you'll get an Arkham Doctor's Journal (48 pages of notes on Arkham's inmates), a behind-the-scenes DVD, a code for an exclusive Crime Alley map pack and, best of all, a "full-colour manual". So we presume the standard version comes with a manual printed in black and white on Happy Shopper toilet paper.

Eidos has told us the package will set you back £59.99. Feeling frivolous?

Seriously though, we want that Batarang - check the pic above. The game's due out on PS3, 360 and PC in the summer.

thats one of the coolest collectors ed packages in a lil while. definately looks like its worth the extra cash.

Not like that stupid resi 5 deal we got over here. why can't we get the same stuff the american s get. there limited ed for resi 5 was ****ing awesome.

Don't get me wrong, it is quite nice - but, considering the sheer amount of Batman collectables out there, you'd probably be better off using the extra £20 finding something at Forbidden Planet.

Mind you - the SF4 Collectors Edition seems to have dropped radically in price recently....so, this may also.

I'm still looking for a good pre-order price for this game....£37.96 at Amazon is the best at the moment - at that price, I'd be more likely to pick up a copy in town on the day of release.

Must... resist... preordering expensive extras... oh, who am I kidding, I bought the MGS4 and GTA4 limited editions! *goes off to pre-order Arkham Asylum LE*

Only problem is the batarang is in day-glo pink, so as not to be mistaken for a real one.

I can see the tabloids now:

"Kid Kills friends with Batarang Game replica".

You jest but did anyone see the "canteen" that came with the COD: World at War collectors edition? the bloody thing was welded shut! What was the point in that? Or was it a case of last minute nerves that it would promote drinking?

One for the fanboys I think, I don't realy think a plastic batarang justifies an extra £20, I don't mind limited editions, I'll even buy em if they're a fiver or a tenner more but when they start getting silly like the SR2 and GOW2 ones with the plastic guns and charging silly money then no thank you. £20 more for smething thats gonna gather dust on a shelf or hide away in the draw or cupboard. I'll stick with the standard edition when it comes out.

Fot you this may be worthless but for nerds everywhere this is a chance to cause minor havok by launching batmarangs at random people
