DC Universe Online
Well, it seems like it's been a long time coming but we are ever inching closer to a launch of DC Universe Online.So, with that here are some new details from Sony Online coming on what we can expect.
First up, the collectors' edition will be available for pre-order and at launch containing a statue of Batman, a limited edition Art of DCUO book, and a DC Universe Online: Legends issue 0 comic. The statue is from a concept by Jim Lee, who's a really awesome comic book artist if you don't know him. Always did enjoy his Wolverine designs. This special edition is for the PC version only, sorry PlayStation 3 folks.
Pre-order people can play as one of the iconic characters in a two-on-two PvP area. No word on the list but they did mention Batman as being one. I'm guessing the rest of the Justice League will be available but we should know more on the details in the future. If you want to do a pre-order digitally, Steam and Direct2Drive will be offering the game early with Steam customers getting Bane's Venom Injector and D2D players getting Mr. Freeze's Zero grenade.
Finally, if you want to try the beta, head on over to www.dcuniverseonline.com and register for the beta access.
And before I leave, here are images of The Joker in the game for you guys to check out.
