    Right, steam has a 4 pack of Bioshock 2 to pre-order that is a fair bit cheaper than buying individually.

    single copy = £26.99
    4 pack = £80.97 = £20.25 per copy

    each copy includes a giftable copy of the original Bioshock as well

    For those of us that don't know 3 other people willing to pre-order, makes sense to pool together here :)

    I'm not sure on numbers myself here yet, but i'm likely to have at least 2 copies available if i get the 4 pack
    EDIT: game seems to have activation limits so i can no longer justify buying this game :(

    Does you know if you can gift Bioshock 1 and 2 separately? I already own the original on Steam so it makes no sense for me if there's someone who doesn't. Otherwise, count me in.

    it's just a free bundle mate, you get bioshock 1 for free, you're not paying any extra for it. i might have misunderstood your question though.

    It does seem the bioshock 1 and 2 gift passes are completely separate.
    i bet theres going to be a lot of bioshock 1 passes being given away :lol:

    I see, but still, it's a bit pointless getting the same game twice :)

    If they're separate though that's fine, I'll just take Bioshock 2 and Biosock 1 can go to whoever wants it.

    It's not region restricted AFAIK, I've gifted games to people in the US before ;)

    That's only if you do the prepurchase deal it seems I've already got 1 so I might go for it and give bioshock 1 away

    Well asked my daughter and my son and neither of them want it they reckon they'r to old for games wait tll they reach my age .
    So I'm thinking I might do some kind of a competition for it if I'm allowed to so if theres a mod watching this thread please let me know.
    I thinking something like starting a thread anyone wanting it would have to post the following
    I would like to have that copy of bioshock 1 cos _ _ _ _ _ _ and fill in the blanks and the one with the most different post by a deadline wins might be fun what do you think ?

    I dont see what's that's got to do with what I was talking about is to give the game away as a gift through steam .
    As I already got that one it says I can give bioshock 1 away and is a fully licenced full version of the game.

    Your right about the limited install though . I dont remember bioshock 1 having any thing to do with GFWL .
    Odd thing though I just checked my steam and the free Bioshock 1 has disappeared will have to check that out !

    Theres been a lady from take 2 very active in the thread over here about it, which is a good sign.

    Looks like steam just copied the retail specs without checking them.

    Hopefully it'll turn out to be a mistake, but i'm holding off buying untill it's cleared up.

    Steam/GFWL i don't mind at all.
    But limited installs = no sale for me, i already got burned by that with spore (my copy was disabled 2 days after buying because i had tech problems so i can no longer *legally* play it)

    what amazes me is the lengths they are going to protect what will undoubtidly be a very average consoletard game. :eyebrow:
