Batman: Arkham Asylum Pre-Order, Collector's Edition Bonus DLC Publicly Released [Updated]
by Chris Faylor, May 11, 2010 8:30am PDT
In conjunction with the enhanced "Game of the Year Edition" re-release of Batman: Arkham Asylum headed to North American retailers today, those that already own the game can now download two more add-ons.
The first, "Dem Bones Challenge Map," was previously only available to those that pre-ordered the brawler from retailer GameStop. The second, "Crime Alley Challenge Map," was previously only offered to those that bought the collector's edition of the game.
Both "Crime Alley" and "Dem Bones" are now available at 240 Microsoft Points / $3 each through the Xbox Live Marketplace and Games for Windows Live Marketplace--"Dem Bones" seems to be called "Villain Challenge Map" on PC--with PlayStation 3 owners expected to get them in today's PlayStation Store update.
However, the downloadable Playable Joker Challenge Maps are still exclusive to PlayStation 3, as is the "Prey in the Darkness" content in North America.
[Update - 11:30pm CST] - The downloads are not free, as we previously reported, but rather 240 Microsoft Points / $3 each, with the above post now reflecting that.

" Also it involves some heavy output processing by the game to reduce eyestrain by tweaking the stereo separation. "
Would this have any effect on how fast the game plays (the framerate?)
Arkham Asylum is one game from last year that I am kicking myself for not checking out on first release; third-person action games (PoP; Splinter Cell; Assassin's Creed; GTA) seem to be my games of choice these days.
Side question: Is the DLC the same as in this original collector's edition? This is only $10 more than the "regular' versions right now, although it wouldn't have the 3D effects:
