Bioshock game is ok, Sony's freedom violating protection sux. As I stated many times before, just because of that BS hack they install on the machine, I am not buying the game. Ever. Even for $0.99 with free shipping.

I picked up Brothers in Arms for $2 + shipping. PWNZAGA!

So you bought a Starforce-protected game (Brothers in Arms), but you refuse to buy Bioshock even when they remove SecuROM in a few months like they've promised they will?

Interesting standards.

Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 uses SafeDisc 4.00.001. Thank you and RTFM. Next please.

Ok.

At least BIA doesn't take a 4:3 game, crop out top and bottom and call it WS (16:9) game.

cliff notes:
"Continuing this morning's progress towards resolving Aspect Ratiogate 07 and DRMgate 07, BioShock creative director Ken Levine has informed Joystiq that the game's oft-criticized SecuROM copyright protection will eventually be removed."

he says like 10yrs..LOL

Once I came across the instructions to remove Securom & the hac .... ermmm ... "activation workaround" I actually went ahead & bought the $39 Circuit City deal. (with Pricematch +10% at Best Buy)

The removal instructions I've found have all been for XP though & I'd prefer to install this game under Vista to take advantage of any DX-10 enhancements if they're worth it ... anybody tried Bioshock on XP & Vista to compare?

Edit: Also does anyone know of any decent Securom removal instructions for Vista?
