The PC demo is supposed to be out today and you can preorder the game over Steam.

Or not...

UPDATE: 2K informed us that the demo is not coming tomorrow, "probably" Monday.

The more I read about him, the more I think he must have some sort of mental illness. Either that or there is massive financial gain every time he throws one of these wobblers.

oh, and back on topic:

Game just emailed me to say my preorder is being processed. This early generally means they've had a bucket load of preorders. I'm pleased that a quality game like this is probably going to sell in the numbers it deserves. Did System Shock 2 sell well?

So, is JT annoyed with the violenece towards zombie children, or the blatant drug abuse?

Ok, based on the feedback from you guys i've cancelled my preorder with Play.com and gone with Game instead.

I looked back at my order history and it seems I haven't ordered games from them as often as I at first thought - last 360 title I got from them was Dead Rising and that was last year!!

Fingers crossed......

Don't get me wrong, Play are great, cheap and reliable. Eventually.
And that's the point; everything takes ages to arrive with them.
If you want it on the day of release, it's got to be Game.

I was tempted to go for the Steam version that's just been announced (pre-loading now available), but I can't resist the Big Daddy figurine.

It'll all go wrong and I'll get the blame

To be fair I get the keys to my new house next Wednesday - so the likelihood of me having time to actually play this game is going to be somewhat limited.

I've used PLay before so i'm quite happy to give Game a try this time and see how they perform - if it doesn't arrive on Friday then no great shakes - i'll just sit in the corner and burble to myself instead!!

Game are pretty good on the preorder front, I remember getting The Wind Waker from them on the Wednesday, which is two whole days early for those that can't count.

Order confirmation received - and whilst I won't get the natty Bioshock face plate from them I will be getting the Steelbook Tin instead - which is nice!!

Cheapest I've seen is Â£32.99 from shopto.net

However I have no idea if they do quick delivery.

I'm sticking with Game for now - I could easily put in the 3 pre-orders and end up with several copies of the game - but i'm not that flush!!

I don't consider Â£40 for the Steelbook Edition to be that bad.
