At this point, it should be pretty obvious that we are looking forward to the release of this title. As the release date creeps closer (August 21 - if you didn't know), the marketing engine at 2KGames and Irrational kicks into a higher gear. What does that mean to us as intrepid gamers? It means more videos, screen shots and access to a demo (only on the XBox360 at this point with a PC version coming soon.), but that is not all!!! Over at The Cult of Rapture, the team at Irrational Games has offered an artbook that they wished could have been included in the collectors edition of the game (which includes a Making of DVD, Soundtrack an d the Big Daddy Figure). This book is free in PDF format with an introduction by Ken Levine that may have some spoilers regarding the game.
Thanks to Joystiq for the link.
Update: One thing that I may have forgotten to mention (thanks JP) was that a physical book can still be acquired through the use of one of the many print on demand companies that exist on the web. Now keep in mind that selling this would be very much illegal, but I am sure having a table book would be a great one of a kind thing.

Anyone know when Bioshock will be released for the Wii?
Posted by Dean on Thursday August 16, 2007 at 6:44 AM
Oh holy shitoonies... BIOSHOCK will be available for pre-load on STEAM as of today for "$49.95 in the US and $54.95 in Europe." Per this article from the fine folks at Shacknews: http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/48490
Well I think that just stopped my purchase on the 360 right there. I love STEAM and I love pre-loading. I hate physical media cluttering my (already cluttered) shelves.

Woot thanks for the tip Trent - I will do the same. I'm all for FPS on the PC anyway.

Personally I am still going the 360 route - I imagine I would change my tune if Irrational and 2KGames offered a PC demo (which was slated for this last Friday through Fileplanet -boo!!!) then I could check my performance question. As it is, I can go with it working well on my 360 or maybe working on my PC. I love Steam as a distribution model, and I would love to play the game there.
