    Great prices, but notice: the count down timer on BIOSHOCK is at 59 Hrs. remaining. That my good Sirs, equals an unbeatable 48 Hr sale.

    I run the demo @ 1280x800, Textures, Shaders, Global lighting on high everything else low (really it's just off and on for the demo, not sure for the full version) and I usually run 25-30+FPS EXCEPT when there's alot of water or certain specific other environments where it will drop to 20-25 depending. The high detail shaders really add to the eyecandy.

    I'm ordering this up now after making sure the demo was playable (didn't find it to be so the first run through but knocking off distortion (?) and a couple others did the trick).
