Aimless Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 EDIT: Just preordered it from Shopto.net. Are they a reliable company? Im a little worried as I have never used them before and im sure I have heard stories about them charging customers twice and other mixups on Xbox.com I can only go by personal experience, and that's an entirely problem free one. The prices are some of the cheapest, next-day delivery is a huge plus, and in some cases I've had games arrive several days early — I recieved Crackdown the Monday before release. The only reason I haven't got with ShopTo is because I'm after a Big Daddy. It only appears to happen when you're right infront of your enemy. Which is the dodgy thing, usually if theres less animation detail its because of an enemy being far away, GRAW style. I just played through the demo again and didn't notice anything. Ignorance is bliss, I guess.
Guest Stefkov Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Thanks for that Aimless, will probably get it from there then. EDIT: Just preordered it from Shopto.net. Are they a reliable company? Im a little worried as I have never used them before and im sure I have heard stories about them charging customers twice and other mixups on Xbox.com Just thinking about it, I might not get served in store so i'll get it off the internet. I have the same doubts about shopto. I might just go with Gameplay.
CoolFunkMan Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 There is a way around to get to Hard mode... Look around on kotaku, there was a post a couple of days ago. I've tried it and it's far more challenging. Though I'll still go for normal mode, just for my first run through. For those that don't know how to unlock hard mode in the demo, do this: Go into your profile > Game Defaults > General and set difficulty to "hard". Once in the game go through the menus as normal, but don't move the analogue stick in the difficulty selection. If you do, then you can go back down to select hard mode, but you can press the back button to go back and select it again. Press A and you get hard mode! ^^ Also, I'm not happy. I've just realised that I'm working 11-8 on Thursday and 11-7:30 on Friday, so I won't have much time to play this till Saturday. Grrr. ><
Slaggis Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Why not preorder it from virgin megastore? 34.99 with free delivery
CoolFunkMan Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I just had a random thought... how the hell are gameplay actually going to get this to me? I've selected first class postage for the limited edition (with the Big Daddy figurine ), but the box would be too big to post by hand. So will they send it by courier, post van or what? In America, the CE game box is a standard plastic box, the soundtrack only has 3 tracks and the box isn't embossed. There's a ton of fans moaning about this... I just think it's stupid. The big Daddy Figurine is worth it imo, plus as long as the game's in it, does it really matter? However, I've heard that outside America, the CE has a steel book case, so we'll be getting it, and it's all good. ^^

Columnar Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Does anyone know if Bioshock on 360 will be region free? The parental unit is going to NY at the end of the month and I've asked them to try and get it for me. Is this a good idea?
BeerMonkey Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 i got it preordered in game so double points 5 days till bioshock!!!
Gizmo Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I just saw a picture of the Big Daddy figurine and I almost regretted buying the regular edition from Play with the faceplate - that faceplate better be damn cool! I wonder how much those figurines will go for on eBay...
Hero-of-Time Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I just saw a picture of the Big Daddy figurine and I almost regretted buying the regular edition from Play with the faceplate - that faceplate better be damn cool! I wonder how much those figurines will go for on eBay... Kotaku were reporting the other day that the faceplates are hot property at the moment so you will no doubt get more for that than you would for the figure.
Gizmo Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 You mean this? I don't think thats the same faceplate as the one packaged in with Play. Infact, nope, they aren't The one which is selling well is the left, mine is the right And I prefer my one, by the way
KKOB Posted August 19, 2007 Author Posted August 19, 2007 You mean this? I don't think thats the same faceplate as the one packaged in with Play. Infact, nope, they aren't The one which is selling well is the left, mine is the right I prefer the one on the right, i'll be looking to pick one up somehow come september. Anyone else down for the limited edition at gameplay? They've just dropped the price by a tenner to £39.99, this better be reflected on my bank statement bitches!!! edit:Lies! i think i was looking at the PC special ed. Where has the 360 Limited Edition gone from Gameplays site? *worried face*
Chuck Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 TBH £50 or under isnt bad for: * Bioshock Limited Edition Faceplate numbered #**** out of 5100 * Bioshock Lanyard (green with white lettering) * Promotional Bioshock Box * Promotional Bioshock "Welcome to Rapture" Foldout especially compared to what the E3 gears of war faceplates were going for
Bluejay Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Shopto is excellent. Good prices, fast delivery. Everytime I have used them I have got the game the next day after ordering. I have not, however pre-ordered with them before, but I imagine, at the very worst, you would get the game on release day.
Guest Stefkov Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I caved and preordered the steel case from Gameplay. Didn't really want it but I guess it'll do. Now my credit will go to other games.
That Guy Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I prefer the one on the right, i'll be looking to pick one up somehow come september. Anyone else down for the limited edition at gameplay?

Where has the 360 Limited Edition gone from Gameplays site? *worried face* Yeah I noticed when looking at my order. I'd guess it's either out of stock if it's really limited, or just a mistake.
KKOB Posted August 19, 2007 Author Posted August 19, 2007 Yeah I noticed when looking at my order. I'd guess it's either out of stock if it's really limited, or just a mistake. Limited, since the companies selling this edition have stopped preorders in the past couple of days. I should imagine it's just a result of having the number of preorders meet the number of the LEs they're getting.
Chuck Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 It seems my pre-order for Special Edition for the 360 is still going through even though it has been de listed. Is everything still a-ok?
KKOB Posted August 19, 2007 Author Posted August 19, 2007 It seems my pre-order for Special Edition for the 360 is still going through even though it has been de listed. Is everything still a-ok? We're all in the same boat so i assume so, yes. Find out thursday if no ones got a Limited Edition won't we?
Chuck Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 It seems my pre-order for Special Edition for the 360 is still going through even though it has been de listed. Is everything still a-ok? ah, I didnt read the above posts. Your already talking about it:smile:
Domstercool Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 My Limited Edition at GAME is still going through, so all is good for me. 44.99 too(Gotta love that 5 pound off code, preorder loads of games using that before it ran out), me happy ^_^
Guest Stefkov Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 GAME have per-orders for the box one with the big dady figurine up...is that right. It's the same price as the Steel case. Before i cancel my gameplay pre-order can anyone tell me its still there. Ah, why do I notice it after. It's for the pc
Zelda_Rulez Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 After all the good reviews and impressions for this game I caved in and pre-ordered it as well. I'm getting the PC version,because it should run fairly well on my PC.
CoolFunkMan Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Anyone's LE order of Bioshock been processed at gameplay.co.uk? Mine still says "ordered", and I've heard some people's orders have been processed. I hope mine will processed, as I only have 12 quid in the bank. Although I do have a 100 pound overdraft agreement, so it should all be ok... right?
