Celebrate 10 years of ‘BioShock’ with an amazing collector’s edition

Add as a preferred source on Google

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the BioShock series, which began with the Xbox 360-exclusive original game in the underwater city of Rapture before moving to Columbia with BioShock Infinite. To celebrate the occasion, 2K Games has created the “BioShock 10th Anniversary Collector’s Edition,” which is a must-have for dedicated fans.

Available to order from both the official 2K store as well as GameStop, the 10th Anniversary Collector’s Edition comes with BioShock: The Collection for either Xbox One or PlayStation 4. This was originally released last year and comes bundles with all three BioShock games as well as their downloadable content with a nice coat of 1080p paint.

But the game isn’t what you’re paying $200 for — the extra cash is for one of the coolest video game statues we’ve ever seen. The 11-in figure features both a Big Daddy and a Little Sister from the original BioShock, complete with lights and audio for both characters. The Big Daddy’s drill is even motorized, if he doesn’t already look terrifying enough.

The small details on the figure are equally impressive. In addition to an aged tile floor that looks like it was pulled straight from a building in Rapture, there is a “window” showing off the city in all its dystopian glory. The Big Daddy is standing in a puddle of water that’s splashing up at his feet, and the Little Sister’s eyes even glow — if you’ve played the game, you know that the cause of this is a crucial plot point that can affect the ending.

The BioShock 10th Anniversary Collector’s Edition is available for pre-order right now, and it will release on November 11 exclusively in the United States. If you’re just interested in snagging the base game for a cheaper price, you can do that now, as well. It only costs $30 for all three games, which should keep you occupied as the enormous wave of $60 games hits store shelves in the next few weeks.

What’s your favorite game in the BioShock series. Are you interested in this collector’s edition, or are you holding out for a Booker and Elizabeth figure? Let us know in the comments, would you kindly?

The Steam Machine launch hasn’t even happened, but the resale circus has begun
Scalpers are already trying to cash in on Valve’s Steam Machine

Valve has started sending out reservation emails for the Steam Machine ahead of its June 30 launch, and scalpers have wasted no time turning the whole thing into a comedy act.

The Steam Machine is already an expensive device, as RAM and SSD prices have made hardware pricing miserable across the industry. Valve has previously said it would like to lower the price if component costs improve. That makes the resale listings even harder to take seriously, because the official price was already higher than many people expected before scalpers added their own fantasy tax.

Valve Branding on the Steam Machine

When Valve finally revealed the Steam Machine's $1,049 starting price, the reaction was almost unanimous: the hardware looks fantastic, but the price hurts. Now, the company has confirmed what many gamers suspected all along: it never wanted the Steam Machine to cost this much in the first place.

Valve says the Steam Machine wasn't meant to cost this much

Don’t breathe easy just yet. Apple and Microsoft aren’t done with price hikes.
Xbox and Apple device price hikes could be a warning for the rest of the tech industry.

Earlier today, Microsoft raised the price of its Xbox consoles by up to $150 in the U.S. Just a few hours before that, Apple announced a similar move for its Mac and iPad portfolio, while also raising the sticker price of its Vision Pro headset and several other products except the iPhone. But it seems these two giants are not done with price hikes yet.

Neither company has explicitly said that more price hikes are coming, but their statements suggest otherwise. Take, for example, this statement that Apple shared with The Washington Post earlier today.
