As if merely playing the game isn’t enough, GPU manufacturer Zotac has announced the “Zotac GeForce GTX 285: Batman Edition.” You guessed it, they use the theme of Batman: Arkham Asylum. While there are still no details regarding the price or availability, the card is just a stock GTX 285 with no special characteristics. The only incentive to actually purchasing this card is that Zotac is including a free copy of Batman: Arkham Asylum with each GPU.

As if there aren’t enough editions of Modern Warfare 2, Activision has announced yet another. Only available through GAME (Online UK retailer) the Veteran Edition is basically the same as Prestige Edition, but instead of a head mold and some nice NVGs, you get a statue of Soap McTavish. And, you guessed it, it’s only available to Xbox 360 and PS3 gamers. Is there something that PC gamers did when they made CoD4? Do we smell bad? Is our money that different? Perhaps Activision just hates us now. Follow the break for a photo of the included statue.
