Live in the United Kingdom? Love Batman and want to play Arkham City, but don’t have a console or a PC that can handle the upcoming game? OnLive wants your business.

UK customers who pre-order Batman: Arkham City by October 5 will receive not only unlimited access to a streaming version of the game, enabling its play on any computer that can handle streaming 720p video, but a free OnLive microconsole. This microconsole can be hooked up directly to one’s television and modem, enabling play of the OnLive library from the comfort of one’s couch.



The microconsole typically retails for 70 pounds. Arkham City, for reference, costs 40 pounds through the service, but those who subscribe to the “Playpack” can purchase the game at the discounted price of 27 pounds. To sweeten the pot, those who already own a microconsole will receive a free game in its stead.
