I am going to get the game as soon as it's released but I was wondering if the demand will be so high that it will be hard to obtain a copy. What do you guys think?
Thanks.

I think it will be think of all people avidly following the game like us but that are not on the forum scene
If you want the limited edition it would probably be a good idea to pre-order. Otherwise, I'm not too sure.
I think that if it's a hot or hgihly anticipated title, then yes, it is necessary to pre-order.
I don't think it is necessary, but I already preordered my limited edition because I don't wanna take any chances.
Depends on the odds of selling out on day one and, and how important it is to you to play the game as soon as it's released. They can always produce more copies.Originally Posted by MultiVaC
For the LE, Preordering would be a good idea, they don't call it 'Limited' for nothing.
Very true.
I pre-ordered mine, mostly to support Irrational, and to pay it off, so it's a quick walk-in, walk-out experience.
I did that but I also ordered the Limited Edition and I have it payed off so I can't wait.
I think it would be a good idea, just in case.
If you want the figure and OST, hell yeah you need to preorder!
I pre-ordered, I mean why not? The $5 goes towards your game anyway.
I think it's a good idea to preorder, because that will make gamestop/eb order more in order to fill preorders and a little extra, instead of just the little extra. That means more copies sold for Irrational, which means more reason for them to make sequels
It depends on how anticipated the game is and if you are buying the limited edition.
Normal Edition-No
Limited Edition (yes, it will actually be limited)-Yes
Simple as that.
I've pre-ordered and paid for the collectors edition just today. I pre-ordered because where I got it I'll get a free t-shirt with it. Now I'll have a t-shirt for Oblivion and Bioshock! Yay!
i went into EB today to pay more off my preorder and the guy told me that it was fully paid for already! i didnt realise i had paid that much offa it its a nice feeling
Yeah I'm so happy I have it all paid and everything. You just don't have to worry. All you need to do is wait. And for me it'll be delivered right to my doorstep the day after release... unless they send on the day of release so that you actually get it on release day. I just hope the BD figurine comes in good packaging. I don't want that thing broken or damaged in any way! It's gotta look nice if it's gonna be sitting on my desk hopelessly trying to defend my keyboard against my cat.
Preorded the ce and damn 7 euros ( because of size) to get it sent to home.
I preordered mine a couple months ago, the guy at ebgames said they were only making a certain amount of copies altogether, which I dont know whether or not that is true, but I didnt want to take the chance, and there are some pretty awesome things in the collectors edition, and I didnt want to miss out on that stuff buy not pre ordering it.
And c'mon, anybody that takes the time to go through these forums should have pre ordered it a long time ago
I'm taking my time. I don't think everyone here had pre-ordered and there is a poll on it.
i have 3 LE reserved
You serious?
Wow. I wish I had the cash to do that. Instead, I have other games and little cash too.
So 3 big daddies would be cool to see so make a pic if you are serious after you get them.
...I know whats going to be on youtube in a month and a half...
*shudders*
I preordered at my GameStop today and they told me that I should reserve Bioshock if I want the Limited Edition. They are only getting 10-15, which being the only one in miles, I quickly put down five dollars. Besides, I never saw a harm in preordering, your money goes to the final amount anyway.
I placed my pre-order,but in retrospect there seems little point as my local gamestore has only 30 or so pre-orders,compared to over 1200 for Halo 3-with less than a month til release,thats a pretty worrying statistic.
I wouldn't worry. That stat more likely shows Microsoft is going to need another vault for all the moeny they'll milk out of the Halo franchise.I placed my pre-order,but in retrospect there seems little point as my local gamestore has only 30 or so pre-orders,compared to over 1200 for Halo 3-with less than a month til release,thats a pretty worrying statistic.
I don't understand why people have to ask this stupid question, it may or may not be necessary but do you want to take that chance? Just preorder every game you play on getting before it comes out so your guaranteed a copy.
Exactly my opinion.
I would if you wanted the collectors edition with the big daddy statue/figure. If not I think you will be fine.
Ahahaha:d :d :d
I would really like the LE, both for the swag and to support the game, but with little hope of actually running the game on my PC in the near future I'm not in a big rush to run out and preorder it. Plus, I don't know if I'll end up playing the PC version or the Xbox 360 version, so I couldn't even comfortably buy one or the other ahead of time (and no, I can't afford both). Bit of a pickle.
I think the only other collector's edition I bought was for Diablo II. I grabbed Diablo for cheap out of the bargain bin so I felt a little payback was in order. Got System Shock 2 for cheap too, so it would be fitting...
Only for the Collectors edition. That 6 inch figurine is going to be a hit on eBay
Like most have said, for the Limited Edition I definitely would. For the regular, doesn't really matter. Will be around in stores for a while, so I wouldn't worry too much. but if you want to play on the 21st I would either pre-order or get to the store early. I already have my Limited Edition paid off and will most likely be getting the regular edition also when I go to pick up my Limited. Don't ask me why, but with Bioshock it just feels right owning both versions. Besides, it will help with sales and if my Limited disc ever gets ruined, I'll have my regular version to fall back on
This is the first LE I've preordered since Prey, before that I can't remember the last LE I've preordered. But picking up two copies?? I dunno about that.
Hey, whatever pays the bill at Irration Games, right?
Some fans are just that dedicated.
Why do I keep saying Irration, instead of Irrational?
Pre-ordering for the most part I think is pretty pointless. But, I like knowing that all I have to do is show up early and pick it up.
Well preordering the bio ce would be wise since there wont be that many.
Indeed!
And like I and others said, it will help 2K games see what kinda game they have on their hands, and hopefully ask for another from Irrational one day.
