While exploring (and re-exploring) Batman: Arkham Asylum over the weekend to solve the Riddler's Challenge, I lingered in the Medical Facility long enough to listen to the full announcement over the PA system. The recording

features a male speaker espousing the benefits of housing your mentally ill loved ones at Gotham City's finest institution for insane super-criminals. He notes a website where you can go to learn prices. Sure enough, there really is an Arkham Care website, which has been set up as a funny offshoot of the game. Under the aforementioned Prices section, the tongue-in-cheek site notes that for a $4,500 upgrade, you can get the Arkham Advantage - Plan II:

For our patients accustomed to a higher standard of living, we offer the Pampered Prisoner. Indulge in a completely padded cell for maximum comfort. Lounge in the hand-crafted, 100-percent cotton Arkham designer uniform. Relax with restraints made of high-quality stainless steel surrounded by luxuriously soft velvet. You may have lost your mind, but you never have to lose your life of luxury.

Sounds delightful. You can even follow links to the Gotham City municipal website, where more shenanigans await. If you follow the gaming forums, you might already know this (as I found after doing an online search), but I don't and it was a nice suprise -- just as the game's developers intended.
