Default DLC on Disk or Actually Downloadable?

Greetings all, just wanted to get the general consensus on how you all feel about DLC for this game. By pre-ordering the CE you get exclusive DLC..

Or is it?

The trend in games these days is to have you all pay to "unlock" content?

How do you all feel about this?

The exclusive DLC will be a code as everything else. I prefer it that way too. So the exclusive DLC for CE right? I've been hearing that you can pre-order and get an exclusive challenge room, I thought it was a costume. Somebody explain and discuss code.

If you pre-order it for C.E. or S.E. you get the code for an exclusive villian(The Riddler), and also an in game extra challenge room.

I think it's cool as well that you get extra stuff buy Pre-ordering the game in general. Still is it really fair to charge for content already on the disk?

This is a dark, disturbing trend for gaming.

Okay so if I pre-order the C.E. from Gamestop I will get the extra challenge room (and other goodies) and pre-order costume, nothing that I will miss? So the challenge room villain is The Riddler?

The xbox official magazine pretty much hints Riddler is a boss for those who find all the unlocks. I think someone here claimed the DLC boss is Scarecrow but theres no real evidence on anything tbh.

When you preorder from Gamestop it says receive a new villain and challenge map, I think that's what he meant.

According to the GameStop link:

http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/Prod...oduct_id=74237

Look near the Bonus section...

Okay, so if I pre-order it from Gamestop I will get everything right? That's all I want to know. I see you decided to go with a different color. It makes it easier to determine which post is yours and so other people can determine which post is yours.

Ha, yeah, I don't know which color I should use though, and yes, you should most likely get everything with the Gamestop preorder. In store customer means you go to the store to preorder.

I would go with a brown to go with the potatoe. Okay that's all I wanted to know, i'm still confused about the Riddler, answers will be needed, boy do I need me some cheetos and beer, long day, not to mention I have to think about all of this.

You guys & gals might want to also have a look at this thread to give your opinion on DLC in general.
