Congratulations are in order, Europe finally won one.

I'll torrent it before all of you BWAHAHAHAHAHAH.
Then I'll buy it a week later. I love Bioshock, I'll never stop giving it money (until the movie is released).

I expect delays. Nevertheless, I'm really starting to get excited about this game. Hopefully there'll be more info revealed at E3.

Excuse me while I schedule time off work which I will no doubt have to cancel as it's delayed well into 2010

Unfortunately, there is no release date for Dead Rising 2 yet... unless I missed something today. I wouldn't count on DR2 making it out this year, especially in the crowded holiday season. The first one released on August 8, 2006 which was still a few months ahead of the idiotic (IMO) holiday rush. I think DR2 will follow that success and stay away from the sequel filled hellidays.

What i found surprising the most was the release date. Bioshock enjoyed much of the success it did due to the fact that it released itself around the end of October when no other games came out.
With this release placing ti smack dab in the holiday season Im curious how it will fare against other well known titles

Exactly 1 week before Modern Warfare 2. Bioshock was good, but really? Competing with that?

Might be generic, might not, but it's still gonna be an incredibly tough game to outsell this year.

They need to get rid of timed exclusivity with games that are just going to eventually be multi platform anyway. Stuff like this is just stupid. They aren't doing themselves any favors by only releasing it on one platform and waiting to release the other versions a year or so later down the line. It's kind of working backwards especially in this economy you'd think that any developer and publisher would want to reach everyone and not just a select few. If there are going to be exclusives the Big 3 should stick to the developers they own and leave it at that. Third party developers and publishers who have no ties to any of the Big 3 should consider ending timed exclusivity because anyone who would have been interested in their games in the beginning will just be annoyed that A) it's advertised that their game is only available for one platform B) People will eventually forget about the game if the timed exclusivity is too long. It'll just get lost in the shuffle of any newer games coming out down the line and make their games low priority when and if they do decide to release it for another platform or platforms.

Congrats on the earlier release! I know how it must feel to see other people enjoying something and you have to wait for longer periods to get the goods!

I really hope we don't see timed exclusivity bullsh1t again. That's just being a bully, pretty much.
Then again, if they do pull that card, fine. I will be more than happy to play Modern Warefare 2 for 12 months to tie me over for Bioshock 2.

Europe...better healthcare?!?!?!
LOL Are you serious? You might want to do some more research on the whole universal health care thing. And also maybe ask yourself why some people rush over here just for out health care, cuz there's is so bad. I know ours has issues, but going to universal/europe health care route is just dumb.

I was wondering exactly how many minutes it would take for some fellow American to squawk loudly and attempt to instigate a political drama out of my tongue-in-cheek comment.
WELL NICE TRY BUT I WONT BE FOOLED SIR
(...But I will say that "Europe" actually consists of many countries with different healthplans, not all of which are universal).

Than perhaps you couldve refrained from beginning the "political drama" by your statement in the first place.

LOL @ ChuckJ
Maybe you need to do some research before getting all defensive. The US healthcare system is one of the worst of the 1st world nations worlwide. Even poorer nations have better healthcare then the US. I also suggest you watch 'Sicko' for some comparisons.
Back on topic ... can't wait for this game!!

I'm sorry but why is Europe getting this first? And don't go off and say "we never get anything first blahblah". You never get anything first because the game devs of certain games are not in YOUR country. Whatever nationality the dev team is, is who should get the game first.

O RLY? Rare are from the UK, try explaining why pretty much all of their games have come out in the US first. DMA Design/Rockstar North are actually based in Scotland but GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas were all released first in the US. So when people say "Europe always gets screwed", it's actually true 9 times out of 10

Great. A week before Modern Warfare 2. I feel as if I'm stuck in some sort of infinite time loop of repeating game releases.......

So tell me. What happens to you in America if you don't have a job (and so no health insurance) and you get shot, stabbed etc? Ah yeah that's it, they stabilise you then tell you to fuck off and die at home.
At least in a lot of EU Countries you know that you'll be taken care of and they don't want to see your wallet first. The American system is a fucking disgrace and one of the most blatent indicators of a money over people culture.
