Nvidia will give you Arkham Asylum for free... with a catch photo

If you're thinking of picking up a new graphics card anytime in the near future and you also have a hankering to get down and dirty in the halls of Arkham Asylum, freeze: it may be you can get one of these things for free. If what you're thinking of falls under the GeForce GTX 260, the GTX 275 or GTX 285, buying them means you can get Arkham Asylum for free by way of a coupon that allows you to download it directly. Sweet!

Arkham Asylum's PC release is slated for September 15th, so you'd have to wait just a bit to take advantage of this. So the question is, can you wait, or are you dying to get your hands on the game so much that you'll just buy it on console instead, even if your video card does need replacing?

I can play it on my PC, but I'd rather get the console version.

Same here. Arkham is a console game through and through.

Cod:waw came with my last video card but I haven't tried it yet. It's great to see something out of the premium you pay on the hardware though

No boxed copy means no deal for me: if I wasn't so interested in the 360 version, that is.

I bought a GTX 275 literally hours before the promotion started on newegg, I wasn't eligible for the promo

I really wanted it too ;_;

@ the GAMEGOBLIN,

Can't you just return/exchange it for the one with the promotion?

@ whowhatwherehow the added pc exclusive jaw dropping phys-x support is certainly motivating me to buy the pc version. Not too mention the anisotropic filtering, and antialiasing options. add in the fact that I can just plug in my 360 controller for windows, and the pc version seems to be the killer app.

Unless it's DOA I can't (who knows, maybe it is, newegg shipped my power supply separate so I haven't tested it yet). And if it was I'd have to pay for the shipping. I even emailed them about the promo and it and it basically ended up being "tough luck" which is really dumb because my card hadn't even shipped yet.

And it's not like it was the wrong card or anything, I just literally bought it too soon :(

There's people that don't have consoles.

@rageofhtemage, kiranio

Yeah, definitely. I just think it's one of those games that feels more 'right' on a console. A bit like GTA, in that respect, if you see what I mean.

Perfectly valid points though, of course.

Or an art commission or something

Sexual favors are easier though
