Since being pushed to an amorphous "spring 2011" release window back in October, DC Universe Online has been given a solid launch date once and for all: January 11 in North America and January 14 in the UK. Sony Online Entertainment confirmed the dates in an interview with IGN, also announcing the game's $199 lifetime subscription price (a bit over 13 months worth of sub. fees), as well as it's main pricing structure: $49.99 on PC / $59.99 on PS3 with one month subscription, $14.99 for subsequent months.
"We're going to be here for far more than a single year. We've got a lot of universe to build, and we're not going to stop anytime soon," game director Chris Cao said of the lifetime subscription pricing. Cao also detailed an end-of-the-world event that will take place within DCUO before it launches in January. "Jim Lee and our friends at DC are going to join us in a live, end-of-beta event where players will fight alongside and against the iconics as Brainiac's menace yet looms," he explained, adding, "It will be an epic end and thank you for beta. And it will set the stage for the real struggle to come in live." Another struggle to come alongside the game's launch? How to get players to choose another mentor -- as expected, Superman was the favorite "by far." Of course, we'll be bucking the trend with a super villain mimicking hip-hop personality MF Doom. Too obvious? |

Saw this at the store today, and thinking about going and getting it. A lot of people are saying the mandatory update and install takes like an hour and a half to two hours. Others say like 45 minutes. I just got a new modem and router, and everything is running superfast now, so I think I'll be in the latter camp.
Also, one of my minor gripes has been answered. Apparently you can choose not have new equipment visually on your character, but still get the stats for it. That is great, because I didn't want my character looking like a colorful space marine, by the end of the game. |

Everyone should pick server 1 so we will not have any problems down the road.

I'm definitely holding off for reviews.
That and I'm getting sucked into WoW now anyway and I'm reluctant to be torn away from it. ![]() |

Yeah there are way too many problems right now. Main issue is the freezing every 10 minutes.

Ended up getting it anyway. Love it so far. There was no server 1 in the menu. Forget which one I picked.
No problems with freezing so far. This is my first MMO so I went PvE. When I get used to everything, I'll make another character on a PvP server. Made a spider-man/gun toting assassin guy. |

I feel like picking this up but I'm not sure if I should get the PC or PS3 version, which one do you guys think I should get?

If your PC can handle it, defo the PC version.

I'm pretty sure my PC can handle it as it runs Cata without any issues(unless Rogers wants to be dicks as they usually are to me). I have an Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 which should handle it.

Yeah, only needs a 7800+GTX minimum, should be fine.
Still stuck on an ATi x1600 here. Can't wait for my HD 5780. |

My brother showed me somewhere that the PS3 and PC versions would be synced together, not sure if it really is though.

They tried it on the initial beta, but didn't work too well so it's not going to be there at launch at least.

Yeah, Steam has got me back into PC Gaming so hard though. Once I get this upgraded it'll probably be my main gaming machine.

By the time I get my GFX card, just realised The Old Republic should be out pretty soon. May give this a miss after all.

For all the Hassles that come with PC Gaming, I still feel like it is the superior format.
Frankly what makes it so, is user created content. Sooooooo many downloaded maps and mods for Battlefield 2. All free. |

In the beta, it was World (Server) 1,2,3 and 4. Maybe now they have names?
