Why should they dispatch it tomorrow in order to get it for Friday? The well known chain of UK stores dispatch theirs the day before release and it always arrives on time...

Because it's 2 day delivery. :). Most games normally arrive before the day of release so Id expect them to send it tommorow or wednesday most likely tommorow.
 
The only mention of AA i see is in the Default.ini file near the bottom.

Code: 
; Note: EdgeDetect variables only affect antialiasing on XBox360 when in 720p mode 
UseSoftwareAntiAliasing=True
EdgeDetectCutoff=0.002
EdgeBlurSize=0.5

So looks like it helps on HD for 360's but not on pc, tho from my view on my pc it doesnt look that jaggie compared to stalker for instance.

This was from an interview about UE3

"PCGH: You are using deferred shading. Will there be any chance to get FSAA working with DX9-Level-cards? What about DX10-cards?

Tim Sweeney: Unreal Engine 3 uses deferred shading to accelerate dynamic lighting and shadowing. Integrating this feature with multisampling requires lower-level control over FSAA than the DirectX9 API provides. In Gears of War on Xbox 360, we implemented multisampling using the platform's extended MSAA features. On PC, the solution is to support multisampling only on DirectX 10."

Obviously Bioshock uses a custom version of this engine so it may (most likely) not apply.

So something to do with this engine basically screws over dx9 games from having any form of anti aliasing..you'd think they would have made allowances for that seing as dx9 games are not gonna go anywhere anytime soon.

As for anti aliasing in gears, i don't recall there being any.

if its scheduled release in the uk is friday, u aint getting it thursday mate
 
just finished the demo @1680x1050 on the spec below. What can i say, it ran like a dream, certainly seemed sharper than the 360 version, and i didn't notice any slowdown at all, not sure if it's just me, but i certainly noticed a leap in the quality of the water effects from the 360 to this version, looked superb in places.

Can't wait for this :) I'm sure i'll end up picking a fight with a big daddy and coming off worse though :(.

I don't give a toss what day its scheduled for. In the past I have recieved all my games the day before release from this particular site I have ordered from it's been the case 100% of the time.
 
Only difference i can make out from quickly glancing at the Default.ini is.

Code: 
[D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice]
HighDetailActors=True
SuperHighDetailActors=True
UsePrecaching=True
UseTrilinear=True
AdapterNumber=-1
ReduceMouseLag=True
DoubleBufferMouseLag=True
DesiredRefreshRate=60
UseVSync=True
LevelOfAnisotropy=4
TesselationFactor=1.0
CheckForOverflow=False
BatchRenderFlash=True

[D3DDrv10.D3DRenderDevice10]
HighDetailActors=True
SuperHighDetailActors=True
UsePrecaching=True
UseTrilinear=True
[b]UseHighDetailShadowMaps=True[/b]
AdapterNumber=-1
ReduceMouseLag=True
DoubleBufferMouseLag=True
DesiredRefreshRate=60
UseVSync=True
LevelOfAnisotropy=4
TesselationFactor=1.0
CheckForOverflow=False
BatchRenderFlash=True
 
Can’t wait for this game!
Just played the demo and it had some of the best atmosphere I have seen in a game and that was just the demo! It’s nice to finally see a pc game that lives up to hype and runs well. I’m not going to be able to play it until 27th though as I’m going to leeds festival.
