Joystiqs BioShock Giveaway (and related news)

For those of you who don't know (aka those of you living in holes in the ground), BioShock, the highly-anticipated and fascinatingly-unique first-person shooter from Take-Two and 2K Games, releases this Tuesday the 21st in the US, and by September in all major territories. The game, which will be released on Xbox 360 and Games For Windows, has been sold early by Toys R Us's across the country, naturally sending fanboys into a convulsive furor.

In the spirit of the occasion, the good folks at Joystiq did as any self-respecting journalists would do: They went out to Toys R Us and picked up 4 copies of the 360 version to give away. (2 in Joystiq, 2 in their sister site Xbox360Fanboy) I've already signed up (though I don't have a 360, but plan to get one), so get on over there gamers. There are currenty 4 posts to sign up in: one and two at Joystiq, and one and two at X360FB.
