It seems that 2K is going all-out to make sure that BioShock arrives on the PlayStation 3 in stellar fashion, and among the new additions that will greeting Blu-ray fans when they finally enter the depths of Rapture is a brand new difficulty mode -- Survivor Mode.
In Survivor Mode, enemies will be a lot tougher to take down, while Vita Chambers will replenish less EVE than before. The new mode is designed to restrict supplies and force players to become far more resourceful, hopefully employing far greater creativity in order to progress.
Although Survivor Mode still uses Vita Chambers, they can of course be turned off, and 2K suggests that this will be the ultimate BioShock challenge. Very ultimate indeed. Beating Survivor Mode without the chambers will, of course, be rewarded with a nice smart trophy.
People who held out for the PS3 version must be laughing into their hats right now.

I've still not finished it, either, so I would be quite happy to give it another play through.
/sarcasm
Yeah, but the PS2 build of RE4 sucked in comparison to the 'Cube one, while the extras in this sound pretty nice.
Unless you're going for that one Trophy that requires you turning them off the whole way through to get it. Not my cup of tea, Trophy/Achievement hunting, but it seems to be up right up some people's alleys.
Anywho, All I want to know is will the gfx be improved on the PS3 version?
I aint a GFX whore, but if it loooks and plays the same as my xbox360 copy then why buy it?
However if it looks better it is a small enough excuse to go through it all again.
