Quit moaning :p , Just leave a PC on over night or somthing. Plenty of time to get hold of it before its unlocked.

Im paying for a service and not getting what im paying for, who the hell would be happy paying for a years subscription of £35 and geting dload speeds that an isdn connection would laugh at?
 
Im actually really please FP let us pre load now. I remember before it was almost pointless having a Sub as when a demo came out even the subs could not get the demo faster than the Free users. Now we can.. I'll just leave it overnight tbh :) will be done by the morning.
 
Pre-loading now as well, can't wait any longer :).

Only at 40-50Kb/s and my router will probably need to be restarted half way through knowing my luck :(.
 
Ah well better late than never I suppose, still gives me time to see if i need an upgrade or not and get it delivered for Friday. But what's with the time of release? Why not midday EST at least, so we can get it at a decent time? I probably won't be able to play until 8pm Wednesday (doh! tuesday) by the time I'm back from work and find a decent download. :_(



And @tom, do you know if ATi are releasing a new set of drivers or hotfix on Monday? As the last set haven't been out long.

Sure you can't play it after the download?

And with that out of the way, all that remains is to insist that anyone with a PC or a 360 goes out and buys this wonderful game on the 24th of August (or sooner if you happen to live near the street date-breaking US retailers), and send a message to the entire games industry that this is the kind of game that people want. BioShock is the ultimate rarity: not only does it live up to its lofty promise, but exceeds it through simple, old fashioned talent and imagination - not to mention verve, style,class, wit, and sheer bloody-minded ambition. It takes the tired, worn-out FPS genre by the scruff of the neck, reinvents and bend it out of shape in such a breathtaking fashion that it's going to take something very special to top this in the months and years ahead. For a game to be so outstanding in one department is one thing - to manage to tick every single box from graphics to audio to gameplay depth to atmosphere and innovation is pretty much unprecedented. Seriously - if you don't find something to love about BioShock, we'd recommend a trip to the nearest doctor to check if your heart's still beating.

It's obviously an abnormally busy time they should have staggered the preloads tbh. Just have some patience :)

This is never what I understand about games, you wait years for a classic and you just get crap churned out by developers and publishers that we buy because there is nothing else to play.

Its been the same with console and PC gaming for years, churn out a game sell a few copies churn out another etc. or sit down and make a great game over a few years and make millions.

edit its 5pm in Eastern US of A so they will all be at it.

TBH, grab a beer, get a movie to watch and just chill out with the thought that come tommorow 7PM EST you won't have to faff about with the mad rush to get the demo as it will already be unlocked ready to play!. Bliss. I agree there servers can be on and off sometime. Though the slow download on this pre load is not a problem their end this time this is just a case of 1000's of people trying to pre load this right now. No amount of servers could help I doubt :D. Once people finish off the DL it will speed up.
