I thought it strange that a year old game release at full price. Does the PS3 version have any extra content to make it worth the price? And will we see a concurrent release of Bioshock 2 across all 3 platforms or will the PS3 have to wait again?

BioShock PS3 DLC Surfaces Tomorrow

Posted by Keith Shetler // Assistant Producer, 2K Boston

Hey there! What?s that you say? You love challenging gameplay?and failed underwater utopias? Then prepare to experience the world of Rapture like never before with the BioShock PS3 Challenge Rooms Add-On Content pack available tomorrow, November 20, for $9.99 only on the PlayStation Network.

I?m Keith Shetler, Assistant Producer at 2K Boston, and I?m very excited to introduce two new play modes with this DLC pack: New Game Plus and Challenge Rooms. Both add new twists to the game millions already love!

New Game Plus allows you to start a new supercharged playthrough of BioShock. Ready for this? You begin the game with any weapons, abilities, and inventory that you collected during a previous playthrough. Always wish you could obliterate Dr. Steinman with your uber grenade launcher? Now you can!

BioShock DLC BioShock DLC

Challenge Rooms are another beast altogether. These are puzzle rooms where the objective is to rescue a Little Sister. Sounds easy enough, right? Dead wrong! Whether it?s fighting a Big Daddy without any weapons or surviving room after room of Splicers, Challenge Rooms require equal amounts brain and brawn in order to succeed.

The whole BioShock downloadable content team is proud to bring this new content to the fans that made and continue to make BioShock a huge success. We hope that you enjoy playing it as much as we did making it.

That's about the only difference between PS3 and 360/PC version.

If you have a good gaming PC and monitor you can play at 16x10 / 16x12 / 19x12 and 60 fps instead of the 720p / 30 fps of the 360 and PS3.

The PS3 DLC seems way overpriced and weak so I'll be getting the PC version, unless I get around to signing up for Gamefly so I can rent instead of buy.

The best console version is the PS3 version.

The best version overall is the PC version and it's cheaper.

This. If you have the machine for it, it would be better on the pc. I felt it was great on the 360 but I wish I could have played with a keyboard and mouse.

Get it on the PC, you will save $30-40 and experience the same story. Very fun game BTW.

Agreed, plus you will have the option to turn off the "post processing effects" aka bloom and/or HDR lighting, the ugliest graphics feature of modern times.

You will also have access to mods, unfortunately there are not many mods for it.
