As you may have read this morning, visually enhanced versions of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City are coming to both PS4 and Xbox One this coming July.
But here’s the strange part: in Australia this package — titled Batman: Return To Arkham — is being sold exclusively at EB Games.
The game will also be available digitally on both consoles, but if you want to buy the game at retail, you’ll have to go to EB Games to buy it. It won’t be available at JB Hi-Fi, Big W or any other brick-and-mortar retailer in Australia.
We’ve contacted Warner Bros locally about the decision, which seems weird. Is it an attempt to halt aggressive discounting by stores like Target or Big W at retail? Hard to say. We’ll update the story when we hear back.
