The devs have already answered to the whines of the PC fanboys and said the demo would be released for the PC before the release of the game, which is next Tuesday, the 21st. If you need proof, check any of the major game site's news sections.

If you are employed checkout Microsoft's Work at Home program (I believe that is what it is called) via your employer (heavily discounted Microsoft software, if your company is a member). If you are a student, checkout the MSDNAA program to see if your university is a member, I got Vista business (amongst other Microsoft software)for free through it.
You can, but practically speaking, most won't/don't. If you're using a 50+ screen, you're most likely sitting on a couch, and quite frankly, a gamepad is more comfortable to use (for most) in this set up. And why would I use a PC to play Bioshock, when a $350-$450 360 plays it BEAUTIFULLY. To use a keyboard/mouse? Whoop da dee do. I've played PC games forever, and Bioshock plays great with the gamepad and like I said, it looks absolutely GORGEOUS (Better than any PC game out to date. I don't care how good your rig is.). No need to tie myself down to a PC (typical monitor keyboard/mouse setup). And don't give me this, "what makes you think a PC can't run on a 50" plasma." It can, but a 360 can also run on a 24" Dell LCD, but that's not the typical set up. Most people buying the 360 version have a HDTV or SDTV. Most people buying the PC version will have a typical PC monitor/PC set up. So let's not start throwing in "exceptions to the rule" in the argument. If you're using a $2000 PC to play Bioshock and hook it up to a nice plasma, well that's good for you. I've got a $450 360 Elite that looks just as good (or better) and plays liquid smooth. Oh yeah, and I've already played the demo. How did the PC version look on an HDTV? Oh sorry, I forgot. It's not out yet for the PC. Sucks for you.Originally posted by: Modelworks

BioShock is the ultimate rarity: not only does it live up to its lofty promise, but exceeds it through simple, old fashioned talent and imagination - not to mention verve, style,class, wit, and sheer bloody-minded ambition. It takes the tired, worn-out FPS genre by the scruff of the neck, reinvents and bend it out of shape in such a breathtaking fashion that it's going to take something very special to top this in the months and years ahead. For a game to be so outstanding in one department is one thing - to manage to tick every single box from graphics to audio to gameplay depth to atmosphere and innovation is pretty much unprecedented. Seriously - if you don't find something to love about BioShock, we'd recommend a trip to the nearest doctor to check if your heart's still beating.

.This is the really bewildering thing about it: it succeeds so stunningly on three different fronts. Not esoteric ones, either, these are the big challenges developers have been struggling to master for decades: narrative, emergence, a sense of place. If another game did just one of these as well as BioShock, it would immediately qualify as a classic. When a game comes along that does all three, we can only be baffled and thankful.

Totally OT, but I didn't realize my school was an MSDNAA member. I can get Vista Business, Office 2007, and OneNote 2007 for practically nothing. Not bad!Originally posted by: Schadenfroh

No, I haven't forgotten it but judging by this thread, there are some people here that miss it.

PRE-PURCHASE 2K GAMES' BIOSHOCK VIA STEAM® NOW
NEW YORK, NY, August 16, 2007 - Valve today announced that BioShock, the highly-anticipated and award-winning first-person shooter by 2K Games is available for pre-purchase now via Steam®. Starting today, gamers can pre-order BioShock on Steam (www.steamgames.com) for $49.95, and begin playing the moment the game is made available.
One of the most anticipated games of 2007, BioShock is the "genetically enhanced" first person shooter that lets players do things never before possible in the genre - turn everything into a weapon, biologically modify your body with plasmids, hack devices and systems, upgrade weapons and craft new ammo variants, and experiment with different battle techniques.
Gamers enter the game as a cast-away in Rapture, an underwater Utopia torn apart by civil war. Caught between powerful forces and hunted down by genetically modified "splicers" and deadly security systems, players have to come to grips with a deadly, mysterious world filled with powerful technology and fascinating characters. No encounter ever plays out the same and no two gamers will play BioShock the same way.
"Over the next six months, gamers will be hit with a barrage of highly-anticipated titles," said Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. "The lion's share of these great new releases will be PC games. And with the gameplay and graphic innovations featured in BioShock, it promises to be one of the most important games released in 2007."
BioShock is currently scheduled to be available via Steam and at retail on August 21 in the U.S. and August 24 in Europe. For more information or to pre-purchase BioShock, please visit www.steamgames.com
