The Macintosh version of BioShock is still happening. Earlier this morning, Feral Interactive -- the porters of the title -- pegged October 7th as the game’s release date. They also shared some pricing details: BioShock Mac will cost fifty bones in North American and forty European bones across Europe.
Feral Interactive is not supporting Intel integrated GMA video chipsets. Other than that small caveat any 1.8 GHz or above Macintosh with 1.5 GB of RAM, 8 gigs of hard drive space and a 128 MB or above graphics card should be able to run the game.
Better late than never right? If you’re wicked excited for this port you can pre-order the title through Feral Interactive’s online store through this link.

See you guys in 2 years.
Plus 7th Oct is my bday, so it's an omen that I should buy the Mac version.
Yeah, get with the flow, people. Macs have been able to run windows for like four years now. So...all those jokes are outdated.
I own a mac, love 'em. Can't wait to finally upgrade to a machine that can even think about doing bootcamp.
But the mac gaming situation is ridiculous.
Microsoft has made the same claims about Macs being cool in their own Laptop Hunter ads, as if having a computer that doesn't look and run like a piece of junk is a negative.
You're also comparing Macs to generic Windows PCs as if all Windows PCs are basically the same? o.O
Have you ever seen a PC owner that wanted to (or needed to) run OSX?
My Apple mouse has two buttons, my collection of native OS X games is plentiful, and I don't have to sacrifice 10% of my CPU and RAM to the antivirus gods.
While I understand that services like Steam will essentially forever be confined to Windows as that's what the games it distributes are designed for, I'm sure people (myself included, naturally) would like to be able to stay on a native OS for more than Blizzard games and The Sims.
It's ok man, people who buy Macs don't mind getting ripped off
Neither do I ;). Despite the crappiness of previous versions of Norton, I'm quite pleased with the Norton Gaming Edition 2009. Use a lot less memory when on the XP desktop, 600-700MB total.
Also, as an IT person, I would advise you to actually run AV on your Mac. No OS is entirely secure and there have been a lot more trojans and such seen in the wild designed to affect Macs as of late. A lot of them mess with your DNS settings.
i've just bought a mac and i have literally become 3x as cool as I was before and I was already pretty cool. life is great.
