Bioshock is out - Let's Discuss!
Old thread - http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?t=509470
Now that the game is released SPOILERS are likely to appear in this thread. Read at your own risk.
regarding spoiler tags - If you are WAY ahead in the game (one of the early getters) maybe still use tags until the rest of us catch up? What does everyone think? I think that since the game is now officially out - the discussion should be pretty open.

So is the second or third "official" thread?
-
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.

I'm tempted to stop by and check if I can rent this to keep me tied over until Metroid comes out.. not that I don't have enough on my plate as is, but it might be nice to play while everyone else is for discussion purposes.

Just picked this up. If you have a Fry's Electronics close and haven't bought Bioshock yet I would suggest checking out Fry's
I was charged 39.99 for it..
There was no price on the shelf or on the game, and Fido's thread had it at 49.99 which is why I went. Found the last copy and when I checked out, I thought the guy said the price wrong... but he didn't.
Total was around $43 with tax.
Nice!
Now I'm going to go play.

Picked up my Collector's Edition at Gamestop this morning and am very dissapointed. Besides the figure and bonus discs, none of the other stuff that was pictured came with it...
It didn't even come in a metal tin case ffs.

Like I said, there was no sign and no price on the game.
But it's in the computer for that price, which is a good sign.

I can't play it 'till later tonight (and I don't think I'll have enough time to even get past where the demo left off), but I am fondling the box right now...

I've got a wife and child locked up in Rapture and your gentle cuddling isn't bloody helping.

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.
