A fresh new launch trailer for the Playstation 3 version of Bioshock. Bioshock 'PS3 Launch' trailer HD

While the installation of games on the hard drive of any system offers quicker load times among other benefits, one would begin to wonder where developers might draw the line for size of mandatory installs. According to a Eurogamer playtest of the PS3 version of Bioshock, the game will feature an install (as all PS3 games do). The install however is right around 5GB in size and will take around 10 minutes.  " The first thing you face, of course, is the now almost obligatory wait for the game to install, a process that deposits 4980MB of data on your PS3's hard disk and takes just over ten minutes to complete." This isn't a huge deal being that you can install your own bigger hard drive in the PS3, but needless to say I could use that extra 5GB on my 40GB system.

Here is the trailer for the upcoming PS3 version of 2K's Bioshock. The game seems to look slightly better with the textures looking smoother. Also added in to the PS3 version is a new, higher, difficulty called "survivor." This mode has been gaining some high praises and will be a blast for those of you that want the platinum trophy.
