Saw this on Steam's website a couple of days ago. Not the first time it's gone down to $5 but nevertheless, still a pretty good deal. Get it, hook your comp up to a 50-inch tv, and sit five feet away.
Bioshock - http://store.steampowered.com/app/7670/
Bioshock 2 - http://store.steampowered.com/app/8850/
EDIT: the $4.99 price tag for Bioshock 2 is US ONLY. AU's price is $12.49. Bioshock still remains at $4.99.
Windows only.
EVOLVE TODAY!
It was a made-by-someone else sequel, like kotor 2.
The Bioshock 1 team has been working on Bioshock Infinite, the trailers/gameplay released so far looks pretty amazing, look it up.
Didn't know there was a Bioshock 3, thanks for the update!
Bioshock 2 appears as 12.49 usd for me, anyone else?
Same here.
Okay now even I'm getting $12.49. Which is weird cause I am still on the steam page which shows $4.99
just checked on steamprices. 4.99 is on the US steam store. Maybe you clicked a direct link from another website? This price won't be available unless you get a VPN or get an american friend to gift it to you. Shame was a bit excited haha
haha yeah that's what i though. I tried loading this page on chrome (i used safari initially), and it showed a $4.99 price tag. Oh well.
Bioshock 2 shows $4.99 for me. I'm using Platinum HideIP.
Can you buy it though ? I tried to purchase L4D2 using a US VPN, and the transaction wouldn't go through because of my Australian based address or Credit Card. Paypal wouldn't work either.
Hmmph. Couldn't you just make a new steam acc with a US address then send it as a gift to your normal steam account?
That surprises me that they check your PayPal too. I guess you could make a US paypal account if you really wanted to and get Bioshock 2 and use a US VPN.
If you're after a boxed copy, Bioshock 2 is $15 at EB Games

Or $10 at Ozgameshop if you don't mind waiting 1-2 weeks.

Bioshock 1 is better than Bioshock 2 anyway, IMO.
I've already posted the halloween sale…?
Thought Bioshock wasn't really notable as we're being price gouged compared to the people living in USA, but seems I was wrong :D.
yeah agreed its a dupe….as its part of the halloween sale: reported for that.

23 people dont come to ozbargains enough or have a bad memory!!!
also why this should get a neg is that bioshock 2 is 5 bux in the US store were paying more than double… steam region pricing sucks, anything that is more expensive in au is not a bargain and should not be allowed on oz bargain.
i dont care… neg away!
come on mods show who does the neg votes… this hit and running is crapsta!
i expect people wont agree and thats fine, but they should list why!
I always just get my US friends to send me the game and I pay them for it through paypal.
It's incredible such a good game was destroyed by its sequel that was more like an expansion than anything else. This franchise had real potential, interesting graphics, storyline and weapons.
Good price though!
