Canadians won't be the only ones to get a good deal on Batman: Arkham Asylum this week, as retailer Toys R Us is offering to give up to half of the game's $60 price back, in gift card form, with purchase of the detective comic brawler. To take full advantage of the deal, you'll have to act fast, as the "free $30 gift card when you buy Batman Arkham Asylum" offer is only good in-store from 10am to 2pm on Tuesday, August 25. You'll also need to be a member of the free "Rewards R Us" program.
But don't worry if you can't make it during that short time window, as a "free $20 gift card" will come with purchase of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 title for the rest of the week--supplies permitting, that is. If you're wondering what to do with that gift card, you may want to check out the "Buy 1 Get 1 Half Off" sale on "all DS & Wii Games" also running this week, especially given the impending arrival of Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (DS), Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii) and The Clique: Diss and Make Up (DS), among others, this week.
For those of you without a nearby Toys R Us, there's always Best Buy, which is bundling Batman: Arkham Asylum with a DVD of two animated Batman features--Mask of Phantasm and Mr. Freeze--along with a $10 gift card. It may not be as enticing, but with Best Buy's sale running both online and in-store, at least it's a bit more convenient. Also, Amazon is still offering $5 off the game with the "5OFFARKM" coupon code. Combined with the retailer's discounted pricing, that brings the Xbox 360 edition to $48, the PlayStation 3 version to $47, and the September-due PC release to $39.
And to bring things full circle, ToysRUs.com is offering a free copy of LEGO Batman with an online pre-order of Batman: Arkham Asylum. It doesn't appear that this offer will be available in-store, and that amazing gift card promo isn't available online, so if you're trying to hunt down the best deal on Batman this week, you've got some choices to make. Visit Shacknews.com below for all the links to the special deals, this game is fantastic so whichever store you choose make sure to grab it as soon as possible; Batman: AA smashes into stores tonight at midnight.
