Released early in UK on Steam?

So, checking the Steam store, it seems to say that Batman is out today, despite the fact it was meant to launch on Friday. Unfortunately, I got my copy from Green Man Gaming as it was only £23 so can't verify this myself. Anyone tried downloading it yet?

Same boat, but I'd far rather have saved money than get it two days early. Isn't the retail price on Steam close to £35?

When they e-mailed me the key yesterday, I was majorly excited. Turns out you still have to wait till Friday, though :(

Well, 20% off on Steam if you have the first game (which I do). But still, that would have made it £28 instead and I'd rather wait another two days, especially as I have work to keep me busy until then.

Also, have the Old Republic beta test weekend though at the same time... It's going to be a busy next couple of days.

Thehut still have not dispatched my copy. Though.. I did get it for £15 so not sure if they'll even honour it.

It says on the steam page it is now out in North and South America. I already own it, and it isn't letting me install so I guess it is a mistake.

its not ACTUALLY out on steam at least for me. I own it, and cant play it, even tho the store says its out, and even says "you already own this game press PLAY", nothing happens when you do. From the multiple delays to this shit, i really lost all my hype for this. And im not playing it this weekend for sure either with the TOR beta.

Yeah, I'm on the TOR beta also. Bad timing. Still, according to Ars Technica, apart from the DX11 implementation needing some better driver support/a patch, the port in general is meant to be incredible. Batman: AA was the best use of Physx I've yet seen and ran great so I'm expecting much the same here.@emergency said:

£15?! How'd you manage that? Mispriced or limited offer?

I believe it was a misprice of £14.95, they didn't instantly cancel and it's pending despatch atm. So I'm crossing my fingers.

Batman: Arkham City

When Gotham City's slums have been transformed into a secluded super-prison, it's up to Batman to uncover its conspiracy in the sequel to 2009's Batman: Arkham Asylum.
