Star Wars fans have their own consoles and now Dark Knight fanatics like myself will get to enjoy the Xbox 360 Batman: Arkham City in all its glory.
Even though The Dark Knight Rises is far away from being released in theaters, the Xbox 360 Batman: Arkham City should give fans a bit of a fix for now. The console is designed with the theme of one of the most celebrated games ever released. The front features the game's logo while one side shows off Batman looking like he's ready to take on a couple baddies. The other side showcases the fascinating, but maniacal Joker grinning in a menacing manner.
The Xbox 360 Batman: Arkham City is being auctioned off at Seattle’s PAX convention this weekend, but you can still try to win one on the Xbox Facebook page.
