PS3 fans, rejoice! You are now officially allowed to like BioShock, because it's coming to the Black Box o' Blu-ray! As you are all likely aware by now, BioShock for PS3 is confirmed, and there are a few scant details.
Firstly, the game will ship with all the extra plasmids from the 360 version, as well as any little fixes that may have been made since the game's launch via updates. Pretty standard stuff for a port, really. Thus far, Sixaxis support has not been confirmed.
What has been said is that the PlayStation 3 version is pretty much only going to be useful for those who never played the PC/360 versions. Sony is apparently planning to "extend and augment" the game, but the word for now is that the 360 and PS3 games will be pretty much identical.
That is, of course, the word for now. The word has a habit of changing. We shall let you know as soon as more details arise.

Plus, I'd love to see this on my livingroom TV.
why couldn't they announce this ages ago istead of being annoying about it (consant denial)
good news though
<3
I can't really see what's going to be added to the game from the PC/360 version. The extra plasmids sure, but what else are they going to do to it? I think that's just marketing BS. Still I know a few PS3 owners who are really happy that they're gonna get to play Bioshock.
I can imagine. Every so often I would pause the game on my computer and look longingly in the direction of livingroom. Wanting ever-so-badly to see it in 52inch full HD with surround sound. I think it's worth 60 bucks for that.
Great!,but wont buy,enough with my PC version
Zing.
Why not hook up your computer to your TV? most HDTV's have DVI input for 1080p :-0 and it's REAL 1080p, not stretched.
Plus... who wants to play an FPS with a controller?
Exactly, I really want MGS4 and FF on 360 as well. It's annoying hearing so much about these games and not being able able to play them on the 360.
I wouldn't invest heavily in a machine that is prone to breaking down if I were you.
Glad this is coming to the PS3, though that probably means me waiting even longer for it to hit the bargain bin price. Wish Mass Effect would get a port.
Almost six months ago I would have said that I'd just pick it up for the 360 when it hit a reasonable price. Since then, I've become a total PS3 elitist when it comes to my games in that I will only get games that I know will stay on the 360 and otherwise get it on the PS3 or wait and hope that it comes to the PS3 eventually.
Have you actually played any ports? I ask because I own and have played both Oblivion and The Orange Box and neither of those are poor ports. Oblivion is freaking sweat in every way possible and The Orange Box you really have to look for the issues.
I'm really hoping for no sixaxis. That would ruin the experience in my opinion.
Finally, the PS3 is just as cheap as the 360 and a PC that could run BioShock on high settings. Where is this idea that the PS3 is so pricey? At least you don't have spend another $100+ dollars to use WiFi or charge your controllers.
