Bioshock is dominating gaming like no other title has for some time, having cornered significant mindshare with players and critics alike. Will you be joining in?
....I also haven't bought a game at release price in years, as every time I did, I wound up extremely disappointed. So now I see no point in spending more than I need to on a game, since it will be cheaper in 6 months, a year, whatever. And the game won't be any different. Seems really silly to me to buy games at release to be honest.
I agree. Did you see the post by Stanza in the HG:L thread where he linked to an eBay page showing someone had paid over $157.00 for a pre-release copy? That's enthusiasm!
I myself have learned patience after years of pre-ordering collector's editions and then realizing I had nothing special in hand but a big bill. I like to wait now for a patch or two, some post-release reviews(which are usually a bit more realistic) and some forum feedback before I buy.
for those who aren't getting the collector's edition, circuit city is $10 off the normal price for both pc and 360.
Early sales are, unfortunately, the key figures publishers seem to care about.
