It's no surprise for big releases to come with Collector's Editions. With Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3, Xbox 360, PC), of course they're gonna try to cash in with some Bat-goodies, and they're charging a bit more for this one. Is it worth it?

Priced at US$ 100, the Batman: Arkham Asylum Collector's Edition comes with:
  • a 14" Batarang, with stand
  • a full, embossed leather dust jacketed Arkham doctorÂ’s journal
  • a two-sleeve Digipak containing the game disc and a behind-the-scenes DVD
  • a code for the exclusive downloadable challenge map “Crime Alley”
  • a full-color manual
Might be tempting to some, but the hundred-buck price tag is serious Bat-buzz kill. If the game's what you want, no need to bother with this. That's why they call it the Collector's Edition, not the Must-Have-For-Everyone Edition.

I love batman...

but I don't see me plopping down $100 for that. Just wouldn't serve much use... and I can save $40 not getting it.

If you are a collector

Well, for the general public (i.e. the ones that wouldn't be interested in game/movie collectables), the collector's edition of anything wouldn't be attractive enough for the extra $$. But for if someone does collect these things, and extra $40 isn't that much. (You would pay more on eBay after the fact to get each item, I suspect.)

Sweet

If the batarang is made of metal I'll pick this up. It should be for $40
