Whoop! I am on Fileplanet! If I don't get my damned 360 fixed by tonight I will play this on my PC I am dying so badly to try it. Even if my videocard blows. Maybe I should go buy some more ram tomorrow.

Ugh, exclusively with Fileplanet? Having such an anticipated demo be available from only one place can only mean EXTREMELY slow downloads. I was hoping they distribute the demo through Steam or something.

I will have fun with the settings blasted on full.

I probably will hold off on buying the game for a while though, there are so many better games I want to get coming soon.

I know, seriously. Bioshock's specs aren't really that big of a deal. Unless you're poor and have a pos pc you should be able to run this fine. We're not talking about crysis here.

Yeah okcomputer, they're pretty demanding. I dunna I have a 1 gig of ram and a dual core processor. But my card sucks, it's just an ATI throw in from ATI. I could have a better computer but I bought mine as is from a store rather than building it. I am actually worried I won't be able to run this game really at all, but who knows we will see.

14 - About dang time thanks for shoving us off to the side for the 360

Ill be downloading it playing it maxed @ 1280 x 720 :) Love good computers, way disappointed the 360 console got the demo first. Developers need to stop acting like that consoles the only thing that matters else a few years from now it will come back to haunt them...

Dude it was like a week later, who cares? I'm sure Microsoft had something to do with the delay as well. Probably wanted it on 360 first to hype it up a little before release. Or maybe 2k had to do some extra work on the PC? My money is that Microsoft is paying for the game so they said 360 demo first, pc demo second, so they finished one than worked on the other.

It will also be available on fileshack.com, although this is only good news to those who have memberships. Their premium service is very fast and no waiting in line.

3) I refuse to buy Microsoft's defective console.

16.2 - why pc over 360??

well to be honest if you dont know then maybe your better off sticking to your xbox! the pc offers much higher res, higher frame rates, better graphics, better sound, better everything really! obviously depend on your pc of course!

for one the xbox version only runs in 720p i beleieve which compared to a decent pc resolution isnt even close!
