Meanwhile over at 2K studios...

Hard to tell with Game... past experience tells me that that this will be at least £44.99 in store and don't be surprised if it is higher. In fact this version will probably be £52.99 and some sheeple will still stroll in and pay it.

Wow. I think I'd rather keep it at this stage. Jeeez £40 for a game case

​Quite a few listed actually, one as a buy it now for £40.

Does it include the steelbook instore? I have loads of credit to use but cannot use it online as it's still listed as a preorder.

ugh, some people eh.

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152244921214

Can't even stream it, not like anyone would watch me anyway :disappointed:

I'm in the same boat. Packing email yesterday includes steelbook, dispatch email today doesn't. I wonder if the product in the email just reflects whatever is in the listing at the time the email is generated.

If I don't get the steelbook, I shall be most displeased.

​Sorry to hear that, never noticed the "while stocks last" myself, however may of been in the small print in bonus section.

Poor service on games part, any preorders should allocate a steelbook to said order, obviously they didn't check how much stock of the steelbook they had till the last lap.

Looks like Steelbooks for PS4 have now run out as well.

Was going to pull the trigger last night, probably best I didn't as reckon I wouldn't have got one.

Oh well, off to buy a non-steelbook version like a pleb :man:

Also received with steelbook (PS4), ordered back when this post was new, cheers. I did get it in a lot sturdier box than the sticky cardboard seen above, had assumed that was purely to protect the steelbook, but looks more like pot luck, hope no-one gets a dented one.

It's £39.99 in store

woooooooo, nice holographic sleeve also.

Ordered PS4 version (plus steelbook) late on the 13th, order confirmation email stated this too. No mention of steelbook in packing and despatch emails. Game arrived this morning, no steelbook.

First phone call received the response that steelbook would be posted separately and that I should contact them again if It had not arrived by this time next week. However, they could give no definite confirmation (either verbally or via email) that I was indeed entitled to receive it. Not happy with this, a second phone call soon followed. This time I was given an entirely different story. Supposedly, it was stated on the website that the steelbook was only available "While Stocks Last" (did anyone actually see this?) and that they had run out prior to my order being placed (despite it still being advertised as available at that time).

Not impressed at all and regard this as blatant malpractice (advertising a product which is unavailable in order to generate sales). Will be returning unopened game to my local store this afternoon for full refund and have now ordered cheaper from elsewhere with delivery guaranteed for tomorrow. Also will not be patronising Game again once my instore credit has been used up.

Mine has arrived too! ordered on the 12th, got the steelbook

​Mine hasn't arrived yet, glad you all got yours!

Received the standard game (two Blu-ray cases), with the separate steelbook.

Yes, steelbook has arrived, installing now cheers op!

Steelbook received, good times. As per others on here, my initial order stated Steelbook but this was removed on the despatch email.

​My packing didn't even mention the steelbook, only the original order confirmation email.

If it comes tomorrow I shall let all you sausages know.

Did you get the Tuesday email saying your order is being packed? It states 'Bioshock: The Collection with steelbook' on that one I got. On my order dispatch email today it says nothing about the steelbook (like yours) - nor on the order history. Just says BioShock: The Collection (PS4).

Wow can't believe they've all gone. Glad I ordered one now.

Yeah Game confirmed any original orders should get one, can imagine this steelbook will be worth a few bob in the future, gonna stay in my bioshock collection though.

Yeah i dont think it means you no longer get a steelbook on past orders, it just means if you order after the steelbook part was removed (as it did state pre order bonus in the listing) you wont get one. obviously its still pre release but its hardly a pre order now as you'd get it shipped pretty much straight away 2 days away. Either way my order says steelbook so i better get one!

They've removed the Steelbook listing, so assume they're gone.

Any recent news on this? Was going to order in the next few days but if there's no steelbook then I won't rush and I'll order off Amazon.

​I was told to send an email regarding the issue with a screenshot showing my original order.

Older orders should get priority, I even ordered it at 39.99, told them I should be getting what I payed for, better not be fulfilling recent orders with the steelbook.

Also said the steelbook comes as a bonus so allocate ps4 steelbooks to fulfill xbox orders considering they are the same cases anyway.

going to be extremely peeved if I don't get one.

​wtf I hope you jest, if so I will be incredibly annoyed.

It did I have my original order email, and it shows in there. Live chat say it's now only the PS4 version

Apparently the Xbox one version isn't Steelbook, you'll see on your dispatch email, in contact with live chat and they half confirmed it, I hate game with a passion but wanted the Steelbook, so have to return it and buy from Amazon

​Made it ha ha, cheers.

​One more heat

500 heat woooooooo!

Indeed. B1 is incredibly claustrophobic, you really feel like a rat in a trap at times, and if you've never heard the storyline, try avoid hearing as theres one of the best twists in gaming stories going.
B2 more of the same, not as bad as some say. I'm hoping they've sorted the "silent vending machines glitch" as this really contributed to the atmosphere in the first.
B3 completely different, perhaps one of the best companions in gaming with Elizabeth.
If you've never played, just get it

I wouldn't say the multiplayer was terrible, it was incredibly fun for a short while.

I probably enjoyed it due to it being similar to timesplitters multiplayer in a sense, plus you got to use the houdini splicer plasmid.

As for the story, your right about it not being as good as 1, but the plasmids and combat in general felt more fun overall.

Especially once you got that tonic which limits you to the drill but drastically reduces plasmid eve costs, such fun.

I was blown away with Bioshock and preordered the second game. Trouble is it was just more of the same. It did basically nothing new therefore wasn't nearly as interesting. The story and characters weren't as well written either. Sure I had high expectations but they just weren't met, which is why I was disappointed. And though I commend them for trying, the multiplayer was terrible. I'm sure if I'd played the second game first I would have loved it, though I'm glad I didn't!

Interestingly there are lots of sequels that I liked more than their very highly respected originals e.g. Dead Space 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Mass Effect 2, Half Life 2, Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Infamous 2, Dead Rising 2, Fable 2. Go figure.

9 more heat and I get a badge, come on guys!

​I'd say it's a good price for these, 3 games and all dlc, most remasters have released at this price or more just for one, ie skyrim.

However I am biased, being a bioshock fan and all.

Agreed. That, and the game synopsis on the back. If it were plain like a piece of rusted eroded metal, it would have been perfect.

Have you seen the price of digital games on PSN? Plus there's the chance to earn some money back if you trade it in or sell it on.

Venner

It is a fair old price but they have re-mastered all three plus DLC.
Plus the series is right up there among the most iconic and best of the HD generation

Decent deal and if I were bothered about steelbooks I would swap my preorder for this.

I'm not a massive fan of steel books as they don't match the rest of my games on the shelf

Yea, still have mine, I wish it didn't have the massive Xbox360 banner on it.

This game is pretty darn good.

I'm honestly quite surprised with how well this has done heat wise. It's not a great price for old games but the steel book is good. I managed to order using PayPal. Thanks op! :smile:

2 was still a brilliant game, improved some features, I even enjoyed the multiplayer!

Never completed Minervas den, will have to this time around.

Minervas Den for Bioshock 2. Possibly the best piece of campaign DLC I've ever bought. I don't know why Bioshock 2 gets so much grief. Number 1 was genius but I was more than happy to pay to go back into Rapture. Didn't like Infinite much although graphically impressive as they all are.

Probably so, yes.

I think the difference with mankind divided was that it was a straight up steelbook edition.

This is bioshock collection with Steelbook, so I'm guessing the only copies of the collection shipped are sealed with the steelbook as a bonus, same as dead island.

It does sound that way, yep - but some SteelBook editions don't - Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a recent example. Worst case, though, it could always just be returned to GAME unopened if it doesn't.

I believe it does, like the dead island definitive edition did.

Hope so anyway, as that standard cover art is awesome.

You'd just need to be careful that it actually comes with a standard plastic case as well, otherwise selling might be a challenge.

Buy it, keep steelbook, sell collection?

Yeah I know but but but shiny steelbook

PC owners get them remastered for free.

Must not buy as have them all on 360 and PC..........

Don't need it. Ordered anyways.

Thanks again HUKD!

Yes.

cheers old king. might giive it a go

Do game charge on dispatch? as they only took £1 out of my card when i purchased there

Excellent games, Bioshock 1 is by far the best, all 3 games plus dlc, well worth a playthrough.

is this a good game

Oh man! Time to upgrade to a 2TB hard disk me thinks

It comes on 2 Blu-Ray disks actually, the install size is 70GB total

Shame it doesn't look all rusty like the original Bioshock steelbook. What a beauty

GAME keep rejecting my card....

Heat. Didn't even know there was a steelbook

Decent price, but I think this game's price will plummet fast.

Heat added.

Yeah, its not just that, although they have upped the resolution, they have also added improved lighting effects, updated water effects and updated the majority of the texture work on both Bioshock 1 & 2.

Voted hot, whilst it's just a 'save as' higher resolution it's still a good price for some great gaming experiences.

It's been proven that they actually done some extensive remastering on Bioshock 1 & 2 not just a simple PC port at max settings.
Bioshock Infinite however is just the PC port at max settings and no remastering efforts.

I think you're right it doesn't look the best quality but I've never taken mine out the packaging for a closer look lol. I probably look upon it more fondly because it was my first CE and Bioshock is in my top 5 favourite games.

Thanks for posting this btw, I'm very tempted to pick this up myself

I thought the statue was poor quality tbh, was still worth the tiny amount extra.

The neca figures are awesome though.

Yeah I don't think it was a lot more at all otherwise I wouldn't have purchased it being the stingy old git I am :stuck_out_tongue:

I've still got that. Probably the best CE I own.

Never played any of these somehow, I think I own all but the first one and still never played, this seems a good deal.

heat.

I have that one at home and it's probably my favourite collectors edition too. Unfortunately the front of the box has faded a bit due to sunlight. If I remember rightly it was only about £5 more than the steelbook edition on release

I used to have the steelbook version of the original Bioshock on 360. Really regret selling it now. Maybe this will quell my regret as it looks relatively similar. Worth the extra £3 over Base? Probably.

Meanwhile over at 2K studios...

Game annoy me where they won't let you use your wallet balance on preorders, and as previously mentioned this is bound to be at least £40 instore on release grrrrr

Will this be delivered on day of release?

PS4 and Xbone are both same size cases so assume would only be G2

Is the steelbook G2?

Nice price! Pretty excited to play through all these games again.

Nice steel book but gonna keep the standard edition at base for £30.99 as I don't understand the need for two game cases for one game disc :smirk:

Yummy! Any day now and I get these (and Minerva) remastered for free. I'm sure I can find an old biscuit tin in the shed and write BioShock (The Collection) on it.

Nope.

no it doesn't

Unfortunately the IGN10OFF code doesn't seem to work!

If you follow the link it will take you to a Game webpage with all the games you can use it on.

4.2% cashback at topcashback ends today so will be ordering later!

£34? Have they been remade?

Was about to post! Heat OP

Heated, I'll bite at that price for the Steelbook as well thanks :smiley:

will it be this price instore on release day do you think
