Total bummer.

So apparently as part of a make good for the Bat mobile the 52 skin DLC will be released free to all. Read it on lazy gamer this afternoon

@Magius, Yeah thats the standard offer, we will confirm today if we / they will do an additional offering to all the paid for Batmobile orders

is there a delay on the limited edition as well?

And street date has been broken and guys are seeing that the there is a Day 1 patch clocking in at 3.52GB

Somebody check our local CNAs lol

I can't wait for the GOTYE, I'm too weak

As mentioned yesterday, AWX has been working closely with the official distributors in regards to finding the most suitable solution for the now cancelled Batman: Arkham Knight Batmobile Edition. As such, we have been provided the opportunity to offer the Batman: Arkham Knight Limited Statue Edition as a substitute, which expect to receive within two weeks.

Here’s how it works:

If you are happy with this replacement order you will be sent a Day 1 Edition of the game on launch (23rd June, 2015) with the bonus DLC to play while you wait for the Limited Edition to arrive. We will then forward the remaining Limited Statue Edition contents at no additional delivery charge within an expected 14 day timeframe. Any collection orders will be notified once available at their local branch.

Details on the Limited Statue Edition can be found here:
PS4: http://bit.ly/1G9IqME
Xbox One: http://bit.ly/1K1HQ8v

Once you have confirmed that you would like the replacement offer via reply email or by contacting your nearest AWX Branch, your order will be updated accordingly and we will process the request. If you have prepaid for your order, a Limited Statue Edition order will be created on your AWX account at a discounted price, less R 200.00, regardless of the platform you ordered it on.We will automatically credit the difference to your AWX account or a refund for the balance can be requested.

Alternatively you can request a standard edition of the game (with the bonus DLC) and any prepaid orders will automatically be credited the difference, or refunded on request.

Please reply within today (2015/06/19) so that we may request the additional units be shipped from Warner Bros. in order to facilitate the replacement orders, and that we may still process your game delivery for launch day (2015/06/23).

You feel the urge to get the game, call me. & I will do the same.

Thanks Tea, I replied to the email, let me know if it hasn't come through.

All sorted Magius, we are updating orders as we speak and thank you for being so understanding

So a few reviews have started coming out -

http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/batman-arkham-knight-review/1900-6416169/

All rate the game as good to great and indicate Rocksteady has really refined their gameplay mechanics. Both USGamer and Gamespot are critical however of repetition setting in due to the larger scale of the game.

An article from Eurogamer suggests, unlike so many recent releases, performance and stability are great on day one - http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-hands-on-with-batman-arkham-knight

A few more -

Patch details.

seems daft that such sizeable patch is needed when it ran so smoothly pre patch (Digital Foundry).

VG247 roundup reviews includes SAgamer's score

Gees - whats up with gamespot's 7/10? (don't want to read the reviews in case of spoilers but that review is incredibly low in comparison to the rest)

Too much forced Batmobile use apparently .... GamesRadar also complained but gave 8/10. Seems like there is lots of vehicle combat.
