Nope already hit that pre-order button Also I think the SA allocation is sold, but there are always guys who don't fulfill their end of teh bargain so you should be able to pick it up somewhere at some stage after launch.

I also pre ordered!
But I will cancel my pre order if I'm not fully happy with what I am getting.

Wow...I almost for got about this! This game is less than a month away!

Video explaining all the DLC

way better than just releasing a list.
as least you can see what the content is and whether its actually looks worth your while.

Dear Batman: Arkham Fans,

We regret to inform you that we are not able to release the Batmobile Collector's Edition of Batman: Arkham Knight due to unforeseen circumstances that greatly compromised the quality of this extremely limited run of product.

We are deeply apologetic for this unfortunate outcome. If you did pre-order the Batmobile Collector's Edition, please go to the retail location where you pre-ordered the product and you will receive a full refund of your deposit or it can be rolled over to another Batman: Arkham Knight edition or another product of your choice.

We will be providing everyone who purchases Batman: Arkham Knight with the New 52 skin pack, including Batman, Robin and Nightwing, free of charge.

As mentioned in the chat box guys, we heard rumors yesterday and have been awaiting the official press release as this isnt something you want to break until you have heard it from an official source.

Personally, I think it must have been a major issue if they had to wait until now to tell retailers / consumers.

Regardless we are awaiting which alternate option we can offer our pre-orders and will be in contact will all of you today.

"Batman: Arkham Knight Batmobile Edition Canceled Due to Quality Issues"
Gamespot
Rather cancel it if they think the quality is not up to standard.
Then send it out, & have the fan boys rip you a new one. Cause its [censored] quality!
I'm disappointed, but on the other hand, I just saved R3000

While they did the right thing, surely they had prototypes and test versions out more than a year ago? Also the damn game was delayed, if they had stuck to the original release date what were they going to do then? Something's smells here, I think WB are pulling a d*** move. Rocksteady have nothing to do with this, so no ire should be directed their way.

I'm sure the prototype's were awesome, I'm guessing something went wrong in the production run and with a limited quantity they would have not stopped the line to check (which they would do for larger quantities). This[censored] happens. It would have been manufactured at the last minute to be distributed once - costs $$$ to have stock sitting. Normal in production engineering.

@Scottie I have no problem with the cancellation etc, but think their QC had to have been sleeping if that is the reason for the[censored] up. [censored] always happens, but this close to release is insane. With them having to ship worldwide discovering manufacturing issues a week before release makes no sense. Ah well at least that saves me R2k

@Magius - I think my biggest concern is that the guys that ordered (and pre-paid) the Batmobile editions are the biggest brand supporters for the launch and really should receive a decent from of compensation But lets see what transpires, apparently we will have clarity by tomorrow

They'll prob just downgrade us to the steel tin. I was looking forward to the artwork book but now i'll prob go for the digital download that includes season pass

If it helps, some dude in China probably got executed for this.

Probably a fault in the tooling that wasn't picked up the by the sub contracted sub contractor's sub contractor.

Probably better you don't know what goes in the automotive industry, you will sleep a lot better.

Thats what the guys at the place I pre ordered have done.
Just got a email from them now.
