At 5:00pm today, the iPad 2 has been released to the public at almost every store I’ve seen.  The unknown cameraman wanted one today, and we figured that the best chance we’d have to get one would be at a store that didn’t overtly flood our e-mail accounts that they would be selling one today, and that was Target.

So, here’s what it was like at my local Target.  There are no Apple Stores in my area and Best Buy’s line was full by the time we got there.  We were able to get an iPad at our local Target just arriving on the scene 15 minutes before 5.

My apologies for not doing an unboxing with this, I really wanted to but it was something that they were not comfortable doing.  I can tell you that it includes pretty much everything an iPhone 4 came with, a USB cable, AC adapter, headphones, a quick setup guide, and Apple stickers.  I did not see a dock included (which is something I think the iPad 1 did have) but since I was not permitted to see the unboxing I don’t know if it was deeper in the packaging.

Batman Arkham City Release Date March 11, 2011

A release date for the highly anticipated sequel to 2009’s Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City, has been announced.  The first game was the sleeper hit of the summer it was released in, and offered an almost free-roaming enviroment where you could explore Arkham Asylum as the Dark Knight.

Recently it has been announced that Dr. Hugo Strange will appear in the game as one of the main villians.  Other major villians that have been confirmed in screenshots include The Joker, Two Face, Harley-Quinn.  There are also expected to be other appearances from other both well known and obscure characters from Batman’s long history.

In this game, Arkham Asylum has moved.  The prisoners are out roaming the city, and Arkham’s walls have been expanded to keep them confined to the area of Gotham that they are inhabiting.  Chaos and destruction follow in their wake, and you will have to enter that part of the city as Batman and put an end to it.

The Riddler’s challenges are also expected to get a return.  In it, you’ll have to find specially marked henchmen who act as his informants.  You’ll have to track these guys down to get the challenges, or you’ll be stuck having to find them yourselves.

Batman: Arkham City is coming October 18th, 2011 for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
