PM'd the CC ad at Best Buy, but to my surprise they gave me the PC Game price $39.99 for the 360 version... I had a $5 Reward Zone Cert and a $30 GC so, after tax I was out of pocket $7

Now that I have the set, I can say that the soundtrack, at least, is an absolute waste of plastic, and wish that they gave us the metal-case instead. It has no music from the game - nothing - it's just 3 short songs, remixed by Moby. I would've taken any other extra over this piece of shit excuse of a soundtrack - even the stickers.

I was unaware we missed out on the metal tin. That blows as well. I guess since my Big Daddy is busted getting an art book will ease the blow.

also the employees in the VG area are usually less than stellar
calling is a good idea fo sho
sorry OP I won't make any more posts about buying.. I just finished a Quizno's sub and a I have a large Dr Pepper so I'm ready to play the game now. haha

Definately not worth the extra $10 IMO, unless really want the figure to put in your aquarium.
The metal case is what I really wanted the most, was so bummed to see that it was just in a plain green case.

Ok....a question for all those who have had the game for a bit....
Great game so far. My wife was very understanding when the mail came today and she let me pause the movie we were watching so I could try it. That was almost 4 hours ago.

You won't be able to find them in those machines until you hit the next level, Neptune's Bounty. They sell for 100 Adam. I recommend purchasing 2 right off the bat.

Yeah, the soundtrack thing is a pisser. Didn't they announce it as a soundtrack CD? 3 remixed tracks that don't even appear in the game is NOT a soundtrack CD. At least the figure is nice. I'll have to check out the Behind the Scenes DVD later in the week and see if it's worthwhile.

My Target either hadn't stocked it yet or was sold out, but I managed to snag it at Best Buy. I'm just thankful I wasn't forced to resort to Gamestop and endure a "Did you preorder?" speech.

Is there some big secret trick to killing the Big Daddy's? I'm playing on the hard difficulty, so I expected a bit of a challenge, but that first one kicked my butt hard! Drained all 9 of my first aid kits, all my armor piercing bullets, and I was at almost zero life when it died. Now, I seem to have finished Neptune's Bounty (got done with the pictures) and it's telling me I need to go kill the Big Daddy's cause I "really need Adam". I've only got 2 FA kits left right now, and given how hard the first one was, how do I kill 4 more with what I've got?

Can you lead him to any hacked turrets or security cameras? Can you lead him through a path of proximity mines? Can you enrage other splicers to attack him? Are you researching the Big Daddy to increase your damage multiplier?

Hack the vending machine and buy more health kits and ammunition.
Here is my final breakdown: Bioshock: LE for @$40
Bought:
Madden ($48) + Bioshock ($30) [TRU deal]= $83 (after tax)
Sold:
Madden ($53)
Bioshock ($54) = $107
=============
I'm ahead $24
Bought:
Bioshock: LE (10% off at GS) = $63
- $24
====
$39

Well I picked my pre-order up at Best Buy around 3pm. I was a little worried they were sold out and had none left but there were still about (20) copies in the rack. I have a feeling they may not make it thru the night. I'm just glad I got mine so it's off to Rapture for the evening.

Left work this morning at 10 to pick mine up. GS is only about 5 minutes away.
My big daddy has a tiny piece broken off, not the entire arm. I'm disappointed about the case. I thought they were doing a metal case. Custom printed artwork is pretty weak. Anyone can scan that in and make it available for everyone else to print out. Weak. That was the whole point of the contest, design an image that works in Black and White so it can be embossed on metal. on that.

Saaa-aaa-wwwweeeet...
I'm also trying to search every nook and cranny of the maps. That has helped too.
Can't wait to go for a few more hours tonight. I can tell that I haven't even scratched the surface yet.
One of the best things so far is that I totally don't even mind dying. In fact once or twice I've been glad b/c it was stupid mistake that I knew I wouldn't repeat... and I wanted to see the level design one more time anyway. haha.
