The guys at 2K have already said this will be region-free, so this maybe a bargain for someone. Click here.

If I do end up buying Bioshock this will be the version I'll be going for.

I have a nice little $10.00 off voucher to use that expires in a couple of weeks. If they don't hurry up & add the NTSC/J preorder for CoD4 then it'll either be used on Bioshock, Kane & Lynch or Battalion Wars 2, can't decide between them ATM

Yep, I'd go for it myself if I weren't buying the limited edition!

Playasia seems to say they expect stock Sept 14th??? and it takes about a week to get over here (well Crackdown did for me!). I think I'll have to source a UK supplier for a few pounds more and get it a month earlier.

If it's region free then there's the US version on Play-Asia with an 'August' release date so couldn't we buy that one?

Also, Renchi have it on preorder for just under £22! Like I say, if it's region free then all these versions should be okay right?

Looks like the US has got a few places selling it already....Lucky gits!

I've never used renchi.com before, can anyone recommend them from personal experience? Also do you have any idea if they'll mark package values down?

Videogamesplus.ca have just confirmed that they have tested the US version on their UK 360 and that it is (as we all thought) definitely region free.
