2K Games has officially unboxed the official special edition for BioShock 2 in an official video for its official Youtube channel and it is an officially silly affair. The BioShock 2 Special Edition will come with a vinyl LP, a soundtrack CD, an art book, three lithographs, and a big impressive box that will make your mother proud.
The video's worth watching for the ending. The sheer mindlessness of it is hilarious. Say what you will about BioShock 2, the whole thing is worth it just for that.

Awesome unboxing, Bioshock have beautiful art and all the Rapture goodies sounds good. Hope it's not too expensive. One week to go! Also, the ad is very funny indeed.
@carg0, Seriously? You label a game as irrelevant, without even giving any explanation. Then you accuse someone else' comment of lacking substance? That's the kind of logic that belongs over at the gametrailers forums..
I found that way funnier than it actually is because I skipped to the end of the video and happened to go to the exact second the big daddy was shooting lightning, which made it seem much more random.
They WOULD unbox the PC version. No dedicated servers again... MW2 was able to get away with it, but Bioshock 2 will fail for sure. Even their reasons for not including dedicated servers/LAN are worse than Activision's. Apparently, it was SO HARD to get a multiplayer build of Bioshock to work that they just DIDN'T HAVE TIME to get dedicated servers in there. It was just TOO DIFFICULT to do what PC game developers have been able to do for the past 20 years. Fuck you, 2K.
It's still not worth 100 bucks, or whatever it costs. The only thing unique is the vinyl, which does not justify 40 extra bucks. Give it a month or two for that poster art to appear on the net, and I can get several printed on much nicer stock for around 10 bucks at most. The CD and artbook just seem like lazy attempts to jack the cost up.
Also, I don't see why everyone is all over that girl. You can have her.
But she is "fat" by modern standards. I think you're just going to have to deal with that. She's still pretty though.
How are you surprised that "gamers," let alone practically the whole male gender tend to "objectify" women. It's not a new thing.
At least they're not "objecting" some silicon cyborg more plastic than human, like most males. I totally hate the whole "celebrity idol worship" thing too.
God as my witness, I will turn this thread around and go home if you kids don't stop acting like internet freaks.
Back on topic: I wish they did more unboxings like this. It's such a huge leap of faith to basically pre-order something, pay $100+, and then maybe find out it wasn't worth it at all*coughcoughPRESTIGEcough*

Too bad you noticed the ring thing. I guess I'll have to break your heart - I'm just not that into you!
Movie was bloody hilarious though. I can't believe they actually had him punch through a glass window.
I'm glad Elizabeth is a community manager, so I know she can put up with this nonsense.
