I'll still be getting the 360 version. Achievements beats out Joker, and no I don't care about trophies.

Its just using Amazon's numbers, which is kinda weak. Oh well, I will get which version offers the best game, so I will wait and see how they each break down.

Wow, cows will grasp for straws on anything . It'll be funny if this game scores lower then 8....AlphaGamer469

A cow trying to claim onwage on alleged exclusive DLC on an unproven 3rd party multiplat wouldn't be totally hilarious if the game flops ? How much more do I have to spell it out?

I'm fairly sure a magazine, even a 360 one, would go round making stuff up, even considering said game is there cover game, about the DLC coming to the 360.

The DLC is garbage regardless, pay $10 and play as the joker, nice! Not.

I dont understand why Lems are downplaying it... its just a bonus feature for those who really want to play as a joker. Last time I checked, DLC made things interesting/more fun, and didnt hamper from the game experience.

This thread got derailed quickly.

Plain and simple: Exclusive DLC stinks for gamers. However, this is a bonus to the PS3, so congrats Sony. Also, now cows cannot fault MS for exclusive DLC, since whats good for one is good for the other.

Since it is free, I can see why. Extra levels + Playable Joker is a pretty good free DLC.

Then answer this, if the premise of the game is to help Batman escape AA after the Joker traps him there, then how is it concidered a bonus to play the Joker? You are going to play the main bad guy fighting the villains and traps he set for his arch nemesis. Wouldn't it have been more logical to provide Robin, Nightwing or maybe Batgirl?

wtf no it wouldnt be funny? lemmings and cows would or atleast should be hoping the new Batman game is a great game since it's for both systems, if the game is bad then 360/ps3 owners will both be disapointed.

From what I have read you can play as him in the "challenge levels", not the main story.

We don't know how they are going to do things for The Joker so you can't really downplay it yet. I think it's going to be fun to play as The Joker. I enjoy playing as the badguy.

No, lemmings HAVEN'T simply because they have been the recipients of tons of exclusive DLC. And no, I'm not going to give credit for Sony for something they should have been doing ages ago. I can't believe the hypocrisy of your statement.When MS does something like this, they are evil and now Sony does it it's a good thing? Holy CRAP.

Personally I think exclusive content is a necessary "evil" when two platforms share so much of the same content, but to sit there and praise Sony for this is beyond hilarious.

BTW playing as the Joker sounds awesome. I'll probably get the PS3 version because of this. See how effective it is?

Yeah I could see if he liked achievements for actual replay value but he seems to just care about the score. Overboard indeed.

So boosting PS3 pre-orders should mean that the PS3 version will sell better than the 360 version right? We'll wait and see.

Wow dude, I can see you're really trying, so answer this, how exactly is it a bad thing to play as the Joker? I'm pretty if given the choice between the characters you listed and the Joker, gamers would want the option to play as the Joker. :|

right cause lems SOOO wouldnt do the same thing. right? if you say they wouldnt your so full of crap your eyes are brown. not trying to be rude im just making a point

No "lems" talked about the Tomb Raider: Underworld DLC. In fact, it was "cows" that went around posting threads crying about how it's not fair that 360 got exclusive DLC.

Everyone knew TR was going to be a piece of s*** so that's the exclusive DLC on an unproven 3rd party multiplat.

I'm not too sure about the Joker boosting the Sales of the PS3 Arkham Asylum, had not seen it in any ads for the game. But my interest isn't that much for this game. Not a Batman fan.

I hope the 360 version gets Bane as a playable character, or maybe the Riddler.
