Here's something you don't see every day, early news about a UK videogame release! Visitors to UK site Gameplay.co.uk will be able to place their orders for the limited edition Bioshock box set for £49.99 and receive it on August 24th. The set is not yet seen on Amazon or Play, so Brits can smile that for once, they get just a little love. Just a little, mind.
Were my funds not tied up elsewhere until October, I'd be sorely tempted to plonk down my own pre-order for what might be the most important game of the year outside Halo 3's hypesphere of grandeur. I can't believe I'm going to have to resist temptation for over a month on this sucker. Even when Britain does get a break, I have to miss out. This is Nex's fault, somehow.

The PC version is 40quid. I'm tempted to buy that even though my PC has no chance of running it.
BTW it's been listed there for like 3 weeks now.
And Neonie, what's with the ebgames link?
I feel a sickie coming on.
(Neonie - unless you're making a joke, we're talking about the UK special edition, which hasn't been announced officially yet, though I suppose this counts)
Thanks, but I hate games.
That all depends if its a region free title, not all 360 games are.
It could have been up at gameplay UK for a while, but I hadn't seen it before today, so sent the tip to Jim. Kudos if you pre-ordered a while ago, you've a sharper eye than I.
But then your TV would have to be compatible with PAL too... yeah it does indeed sound like a headache.
And Jim when are you going to stop talking about leaving the Great British Empire and actually do so. You are a national fucking disgrace anyway.

$100 (USD) for a vidjamo game is a bit nuts but, then again, we paid $80 for Super Street Fighter 2 for SNES... and it didn't even come with a cool action figure...
