A little bit of hope for us PS3 owners:
Taken from www.psu.com/

"Look what some one found In the configuration file of the PC Demo of Bioshock: there are some notes for the interested about the game engine configurations options and there's a little topic about consoles.
[Console]
;; Console (XBox360, PS3) specific settings

;; StreamingDynamicFloatingLimit:
;; If this is a positive number, then instead of using the fixed per-level
;; limits, the StreamingDynamic resource will use as much memory as is
;; available as long as the total memory allocated by the game is less than
;; the specified number. In other words, StreamingDynamic will grow and
;; shrink to fit to the available memory instead of being locked to a fixed
;; budget
StreamingDynamicFloatingLimit=500

You'll find this under Program Files/2k Game/Bioshock demo/Content/config.ini , just open the file with notepad or wordpad . Good news for ps3 fans although most already assumed the game was coming."

Well I have been playing bioshock for about an hour now. And may I just say it is dam cool.

Ok now to the more important issue. How well dose it run on my pc.

Now my specs are

AMD 5000+
NVIDIA 7600gs 512MB
4GB of ram

Now when I first ran the game it had everything turned on and the resolution at 1024X768 and it ran ok but it wasn’t quite there and was a bit jittery and slow.

So I turned off the shadows and real-time water reflections and Vsync and then it ran a little better.

then i gave my 7600gs a bit of an over clock with a 30/15MHz bump in core and memory clock frequencies respectively and its now running perfect with no slow down and or drops in frame rate.

it doesn’t look quite as nice with the reflections and shadows off but its a small price to pay to have it all run smooth. so there you go I have bioshock running totally fine on my pc. I might do some tinkering latter with the clock in my G card and I might get some more performance out of it but at the moment I am quite happy.

HAHA! My mate was so hyped for today and getting bioshock, anyway he was going to trade in Perfect Dark:Zero so he went to delete his save data and it red-ringed last night, now he has to send it off to MS for repairs and is uber pissed! I'll pick it up on Sat or Sun, but I still can't play it til' I get my Elite next week...
