Batman: Arkham City Coming Next Week; Free Movie, Game Rentals With Pre-Order

The countdown has begun and gamers eager to return to Gotham City, or in this case Arkham City, can do so very soon once Batman: Arkham City hits store shelves. With a $10 pre-order deposit for Arkham City at Blockbuster you’ll also be able to enjoy free movie and game rentals for more than month.

As stated in the news alert…

Those who pre-order or buy the game at Blockbuster will get free unlimited rentals of games and movies for a month. With just a $10 non-refundable pre-order deposit, gamers get to enjoy unlimited rentals starting that day!

It’s obviously a last ditch effort by Blockbuster to pick up movie stragglers and gamers who haven’t already committed themselves to Hulu, Netflix, Redbox, Gamefly or torrents. Still, free movie and game rentals for a month is a pretty big deal especially heading into November where some of the biggest titles of the year are expected to launch.

Batman: Arkham City features the return of the Dark Knight as he aims to uncover a nefarious plot in the city overrun with criminals, murderers, thieves and super-villains. This time he gets a little help from Catwoman, as the main story plot will be broken down into parts, with one part featuring Batman and the other part featuring Catwoman.

You can learn more about the game by visiting the Official Website or pre-order from Blockbuster for the free movie rental benefits. Batman: Arkham City is due out October 18th for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
