saw the Bioshock commercial while watching the NCAA tournament, two minutes later got my code from AMD. How apropos.

I'm not seeing a reason to pre-order this since it lacks multiplayer. Probably wait 6 months and pick it up for 19.99 or less. All of the pre-order deals seem to be around game I already own

The prices for Bioshock Infinite are fairly cheap, and while I normally don't pre-order, i'm very very excited about infinite. I have every confidence in Ken Levine, he has never released a bad game. Ever.

You can also find it for 25$ in FST sections from the AMD promo. Very hard to pass up IMO

I'm happy with those bundle deals. From now on when they will be available I'll be checking them and looking for those selling the codes if the games are interesting. I never pay full price for games anymore.

I completely forgot to look there. I sent a couple PMs so hopefully I can snag it for cheap.

Excited. Preloaded and ready to go. GMG offers are just too good to pass up. Got store credit a free copy of xcom and the darkness 2.

man I am all flustered about whether I should preorder this or not. I need something in my life right now to fill that hole! And maybe its you, Bioshock. Maybe its you.

IGN must have forked over some serious $$$ for the exclusive early review. The policing and deleting of any user video reviews is pretty astounding. Just try to find one over an hour old on youtube.

I don't know that's pretty shady if you ask me. I'm thinking it's time that the gaming industry had some major oversight committee. Those kind of actions scream bad things to me.

Guess we'll see. If this turns out to be trumped up shite, it will solidify my thoughts. If not for the crazy deals, this would have been a wait and see.

I'm bothered by such things as well. That being said, this is a game made by Irrational. They haven't managed to screw up yet.

Anyone get the Season Pass?

Thinking about it. My first thought is to play the main game first, but there's some bonus stuff having the season pass unlocks. I have my $15 in GMG credit I got for pre-ordering so I could just get the season pass for $4 if I wanted. I could either use the credit now or hold on to it for another deal down the road.

Committee for what part... being able to review early, possibly influencing the review because of advertising $$$ or getting rid of all other user reviews?

The only issue with it is that the customers only get one viewpoint about the game. If IGN wants to pay for an early copy to bring in more readers, more power to 'em. It's kinda cruel to deny it to other reviewers, but as long as there's no qualm when the game is actually released, I guess it's okay.

Now, if this was Aliens: Colonial Marines, and the sole reviewer had an awesome score, I think people would be crying for blood post-release. We'll just have to hope that Bioshock: Infinite is nothing like that game.

The thing is, both Ken Levine and Irrational have an impeccable record. If there's anyone I feel confidence in, it's those guys....

And i'm not one that usually pre-orders games, either.
