When we first saw that the Hard difficulty in the BioShock demo was not initially available, we figured it would require a quick playthrough to unlock, a la Ninja Gaiden Sigma. No dice -- beat the demo and the hard mode still sits there behind its grayed-out curtain, taunting you with the implicit judgment that you haven't played enough first-person shooters to handle it.Fear not -- unlocking that hard mode isn't as hard as you think. Apparently, if you go into your Gamertag profile and set your default difficulty to "hard," the mode will start out highlighted and selectable when you go into the demo. We've included some video of the simple trick after the break for those of you who are a little slow on the uptake.
Not a groundbreaking discovery, by any means, but it is a nice way to squeeze some more fun out of that demo before the street date. That is, assuming you haven't picked up the game already.
