Check out the first few minutes of ‘BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea’

By Ryan Fleming Published April 24, 2023

If you wish to remain completely unspoiled in regards to the upcoming DLC for BioShock Infinite, then you may want to skip the video below. It doesn’t give out any major spoilers, but it does show the first few minutes of the game, including a look at the city of Rapture and some hints as to what the plot is all about – at least the obvious plot.

As we discussed in our preview, the DLC features a different DeWitt and Elizabeth from the pair we saw in BioShock Infinite, and it’s set in a different time (although knowing the BioShock series the truth is more complicated than that). Burial at Sea, the first of the two planned DLCs for Infinite, takes place in Rapture just before things went bad – very bad.

DeWitt remains a detective for hire, but his office is located in Rapture and he is very much a citizen of Andrew Ryan’s underwater utopia. Elizabeth – a different, more femme-fatale Elizabeth than you know from Infinite – seeks him out to help find a girl that DeWitt believes is dead. The two then walk through Rapture at its peak.

Check out the clip below, and check out our recent interview with Ken Levine for more about the creation of Burial at Sea.

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 would love to lower the Steam Machine’s price, but the timing couldn’t be worse

The gaming giant blames the ongoing component crunch for pushing its console-PC hybrid into four-figure territory.

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.

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.
