UK – Batman: Arkham City for 99p at HMV with trade in
According to several posts on Hot UK Deals, HMV is offering Batman: Arkham City for 99p with trade-ins of Forza Motorsport 4 or RAGE.
The deal is said to include a T-shirt and lenticular cover, set to run for a week, and to be available at all stores, but it’s probably worth calling ahead of Friday’s launch.
Arkham City is out now in Australia and the US, although the PC version has been delayed into November in all territories.
Thanks, Matt.
