For some reason GameStop.com says it doesn't release until the 1/22/13. Kinda weird that they didn't get them the same time as everyone else.

Saw plenty of these (10+ for each system) at the local Best Buy.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Four discs don't fit in a regular x360 case.

one of the rare times where more discs on the xbox is a good thing lol

I had to ask for it at Best Buy. Surprised and happy they put some effort in the packaging (for 360 at least).

I may take this stupid game that I can't play worth a damn called FIFA 13, and trade it in towards this. I never really gave the first Bioshock a chance before getting rid of it, but I loved the hell out of Bioshock 2.

Here's a quick PS3 unboxing to contrast the dull 360 version.

Rare to see more disc = better display case. YAY FOR 360! I hope it plays better on there as well

Pretty sure it's the same game. No changes. Meaning that if the original 360 games were better, then it's the same on this package.

LOL! So amusing to see people happy about having to install several discs rather than just one. External art appears the same. Pack-ins are the same. Only difference is internal slipcover, and the fact that this will take up more space on your shelf. Having extra real estate due to outdated media isn't exactly a good thing. But whatever makes folks happy.

I guess if they put out a PC edition on 40 floppies, people will cancel their console orders so they can get the super-cool jumbo box!

if they release a pc version with 40 floppies, i would convert myself to a pc gamer

@Zimmy - I got it on the 360 - it does have the new game Plus option on it - but it does say that achievements will be disabled if you activate it. The other thing that struck me as interesting was the only piece of "DLC" not included are the Ziggo/Blanche Character pack for bioshock 2 MP - the only DLC I never got since it pissed me off that it was planned out well in advance of the game shipping and was only an unlock key for content already on the disc - Sinclair Solutions pack same way too though ...

Wait so the dlc is on disk but has to be unlocked via live? Is this for all the dlc?

The bluray holds more so it is a smaller package.

I still have the BS2 LE sealed from BB so i think i will go with the 360 version.

Does anyone know if the save files are compatible? So if you have saves from the regular editions are they recognized here?

Mainly asking about the ps3 edition.

And are the trophies/achievements shared or is it like Batman AA GOTY?

Thanks in advance.

Standard price at Target for the PS3 version is $20.98, so that's pretty darn close. Might have to ask them to get it from the stockroom, but they should have it. I didn't ask, but I remember seeing from the other thread that the 360 version is $29.99.

Yes, the saves are compatible. I'd recommend deleting the game data though since the new disk will still install over the regular data even though its the same data.

Self-answering questions FTW.

Just for clarification. This does not include the 2 extra characters...At least I can't find them on the disc. But I also already had sinclar solutions DLC, so I didn't reinstall it.
