    I think its too early to know. Its out on Tuesday so I'm sure prices will start popping up at the start of the week.

    I ordered on Zavvi's website yesterday for £29.99 (about £31 inc. postage) which is in or around the €40 mark. Got dispatch email a half hour after ordering. Probably means I won't be playing on launch day, but I'm not too pushed.

    HMV are normally around the €45 mark for the the first few days. Unsure about Tescos. If they think they'll sell enough, they'll undercut all the major retailers.

    If you can four-pack on Steam with someone from the UK you can pick up both Bioshock 1 and 2 for less than €25 together... Finding such people may be tricky though.

    No idea but it won't make a difference if you do manage to get your hands on it early as the servers won't authenticate the game until after it's been officially released.

    Not in Limerick city centre. I'm sure that when one store drops the price, they all will.

    My local is nutgrove and they where selling @ 2 this afternoon :D
    I'd say save yourself some € and wait for smyths in the morning for 39.99

    €15 isn't exactly small change these days :)

    59.99 for the collectors edition is fairly good value considering the stuff you get with it, you get a huge 168 page art book, an LP with soundtrack and a CD, and you get 3 lithographs and its well presented
