You probably all remember nice hit-game Bioshock that collected many awards and so on. Now it is time for sequel. But like usually, there are no good things without bad things. The good thing is that you can get Bioshock 1 for free, you can give the extra copy to your friend, if you already have one. And there is now multiplayer! Achievements! DLC‘s! And somekinda social networking based on Games for Windows live.
And the bad thing is the price for Europeans, except United Kingdom citizens.
US: $49.99 $44.99 (~32€)
UK: £39.99 £26.99 (2% lower) <- 33% discount not 10% like the others!!!!!
EU: 49,99€ 44,99€ (43% higher)
Fortunately there is chance to buy 4-pack, which makes one game (~34€) be priced equal to US single price 32€.
US: $149.97 $134.97 (~95€)
UK: £89.97 £80.97 (2% lower)
EU: 149,97€ 134,97€ (43% higher)
Minimum requirements
- OS: Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7
- Processor: AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3800+ 2.4Ghz or better, Intel Pentium 4 530 3.0Ghz Processor or better

Bioshock 2 with “great” price, 4.6 out of 5 based on 11 ratings
…and there will be DLC’s for the game. If that’s a good thing time will tell.
From AustralianGamer.com
GFWL is another reason (besides unfair price) for me not to buy this game – you know GFWL is not supported in Poland. So i would pay more money for product of lower quality. No thank you, i’ll stick to “try&buy” version :)
“I have good friends in UK or US ;) (-1%, 0 Votes)”
this option has “-1%” of votes, how it can be? :)
You should have added the 4pack price, slay.
4pack aka 4games for the price of 3!
23€ per copy if you buy a 4pack in the UK.
o___O
aw.. my bad, no need to add anything :p
only that a price in the US $33.75 and a price in the EU €33.75($47.95)
Ultimately, l4d2 was similarly priced on pre-purchase. Only difference is that there is no Tier 2 with Bioshock 2.
btw..forgot.. I will buy it via my friend from the UK in a 4pack when it is on a holiday sale for 3pounds.. xD
Well, I buy the first Bioshock one year ago for 5€ on steam, play 3 hours and… leave.
On which button I must click if the 2 doesn’t interest me? :/ *vote for the 5$ option*
(but the EU price is better than zavvi or play.com :))
updated – added DLC’s and 4-pack price 95€ :S
I’ll buy the Collector’s Edition in retail :) Much cheaper than on Steam. I loved the first BioShock, so I hope BioShock 2 won’t let me down.
amazon has it for £24.99 so i bought it from there. i already got bioshock 1.
btw nice idea to put “try & buy” xD
“Ability to save game, earn achievements, receive title updates and online play requires log-in to Games for Windows LIVE.”
HA HA, no.
Games for Windows LIVE?
WTF.
NO. Thank you.
Also I will wait a few years and then buy it for 15€ max.
This one’s going to include SecuROM as well again. Seems like they haven’t learnt their lesson from the first game.
3rd-party DRM: SecuROM™
5 machine activation limit
I would never buy this.
Official on the LIVE number of activations..
