I bought Bioshock for this exact price yesterday on my 360.

Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

How is Bioshock supposed to sell on PS3?

Frankly unless they pay you to download Bioshock, you're getting ripped off - it's an absolutely terrible game, and an utter waste of money. Do you own Dead Rising, Mass Effect, Portal, Gears of War, STALKER, World of Warcraft, Sins of a Solar Empire, Dawn of War, GTA IV, Metal Gear Solid IV, and all the other great titles that are out right now? No? Then save your money and go buy something good.subrosian

My local woolworths :P

Bargain

Btw it wasnt $14.99, it was £14.99

The point is irrelevant since Xbox Live doesn't offer full Xbox 360 titles for purchase.

The point is made even more irrelevant as I can get the game, both Xbox 360 and PC versions cheaper in the shops where I also get a pretty manual, disc and cover art.

Still it is a good deal in terms of comparing to the other games that cost that much on Steam.

Hows it supposed to sell? Here's a tip. Person takes game to cashier hands over cash, takes game home. Or orders online, waits for said game to arrive through the post.

There is your answer.

Indeed it is, as I said, I just had to jazz up my post, wouldn't want it being labled pointless or opinionless...

And what type of consumer would that be. Do you even know what price the PS3 version will be? It really doesnt matter as a lot of games can be bought way below the RRP of said game.

This is the good part about PC software not selling as well as the console versions, the PC versions always drop in price teh fastest.SoaSE_General

Just couldn't keep your idiocy out of this thread could you?

The Orange Box sold better on PC than on consoles and it's still cheaper on PC. Care to explain that one?

Fact is all PC games come down in price faster than console games to. It doesn't matter how well they sell. It's yet another advantage of PC gaming.

19.99 is how much bioshock costs in my area, specially at my local game exchange..WilliamRLBaker

37.99€ here (pc version) -.- I hate my country sometimes...

Saw it at Blockbuster for $7.99

Tempting.

For $14.99 I wouldn't have been so disappointed...Saturos3091

same here. i bought it for $50 on the PC and I was disappointed. i thought it was the most overrated game of 2007, next to Halo and Assassin's Creed. I'd give it more respect if I didn't waste so much money on it.

Who said it was going to be $60 on ps3? 99% chance it won't be considering the other versions are cheaper and it's been more than a year. Take 2 wants to sell copies so most likely it'll be the same price as the 360 version. Whenever there is a port like this, the majority of the time, game companies don't sell it for full price.

I'm looking at STEAM right now... and the onlly thing Bioshock related on there is the DEMO.Veterngamer

From your Canadian Flag I might say the reason you aren't seeing the sale is because you are not in the United States.
