Deal: BioShock for $30 - SOLD OUT
28
Happy New Year PS3 fans! Looks like amazon.com has dropped the price of the PS3 version of BioShock to $30. That almost makes it as cheap as the year-old Xbox 360 and PC version! (Some would argue that a late port should've launched at this price.) The PS3 version adds all the DLC content found in the 360 version and adds its own exclusive difficulty level and access to new PS3-only DLC. It was one of our nominees for Best Shooter of 2008, so you may want to check it out if you haven't.

damnit...got shafted on the best buy sale a few weeks ago too ($40). -_-
Almost happened with Prince of Persia too, but I did the old switcheroo. So it evens out in the end I guess. Still, annoying.

On steam Bioshock is 5 bucks. Still this a good offer for the PS3 only gamer.

I actually got the PS3 version for $18 from Amazon when you factor in the gift card I used. However, at the time they were selling it for $40 or $45, I believe.
At $30, this is a no-brainer for any PS3 owner.
Just finished it the other night. I now see what all the fuss was about. The storyline was incredible. This is the kind of game Roger Ebert should look at before he makes his next "video games aren't art" declarations.

Just buy a second copy on Amazon and returned that unopened copy to cover your first order. Problem solved!

By far one of the best games I have ever played! GAT IT!
Resell on ebay for $20 when you are done and it's basically the price of a rental.

am i missing something? when i check the price it's 39.99 on amazon that's more like 40 dollars than 30.

Yea it is back to $40. I added it to my cart and it went up from $30 to $40 before I could purchase. Crap.

It looks like Amazon is out of it, and it's now selling from J&R via the Amazon site. J&R's price is $40. So, we're too late.

is it just me that really doesnt truely understand the hype in this game? Yeh sure it looks and sounds fantastic, i was really excited for it, but when i got it i was really dissapointed. It feels like a chore to play, and i dont actually get any enjoyment from it :(. Having the shoot buttons permenantly bound to L2-R2 doesnt help much either (i keep switching weapons instead of firing >.

...It cut off half the post...
Overall i love the design and feel of the game, its fantastic, but i cant help but feel let down by everything else! I really want to like the game but i cant, and i seem to be the only person in the world that feels this way about it :(

No, your not...
I tried the demo and had the exact same problem, that you had with the L2 and R2. I kept dying because i kept changing weapons :( . So to me it was a chore to play but maybe if they lower the price even lower i might just give it a try.

It's even worse that a few days ago because with J&R you can't get free shipping option.
