Ok as most of you know, My birthday was last week. What you don't know is that my brother got me Bio Shock for the XBOX 360. My question to everyone here is, Should I return the 360 version so I can get the PC version? I haven't opened it yet, so it's still returnable. Let me know Peeps!

How good is your pc? It would come down to that, and how much you prefer mouse/keyboard over the control pad.
I have a system that was able to run it with everything cranked to high, in DX10. It was awesome. :2thumbs:

They should return it if its un opened and you have a reciept.
console vs pc is just a matter of what you like or want
pc: d-x 10 really hi res monitors size, gonna need a really good system to run it. Might wanna check out the preferred system settings and see how your syst4em compares. Almost no trade in value for pc games after opened (copywrite laws). Mouse and keyboard probably respond faster than controller.
did they fix the drm issue in the pc version?
xbox 360: nice graphics, play wireless, rumble (big daddy is cool with this), can play on big screen tvs with home theater system. Runs smooth. decent trade in value at places like gamestop.
You cant go wrong with either version. They both have minor things that set them apart but the game is still great.

In addition the pc version has an insane copy protection. Your're only allowed to install the game 3 times! :pissed:

Thats totally stupid. Are they going to start tracking how many times I finish the game and stop me from playing again after I do it on all difficulty levels?

- Your only allowed to install and activate the game on 2 different pcs.
- You are only allowed to "install" the game 3 times. Means if you crash your system or if you use Windows and Vista, your're doomed and can write or phone Take2.

With the copy protection/rootkit issues and the fact that the game has no multiplayer, if you have an HDTV I would keep the 360 version.

ok i'll keep it since there is no multi player. thanks guys...and FYI...my little brother and i built our computer from ground up for strictly gaming performance. i bought most of the parts since i have a job and then we both built it. we can run just about anything on this thing for a long time. and thats without using our duel video cards. right now, we only use one. im still working on geting a better mouse and for other games, a joystick!
