Aaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhh, that would be so bloody awesome! I'm actually pretty annoyed that it's not real... My very own Big Daddy to love and to hold and to call my own... (cookie for reference) | |
I saw this video earlier. I'm extremely pumped for the game now! I'm getting the special edition as well. | |
He, nice to see a sense of humour about Developers. Break from the monotony at least. And I'd want him to do my shopping! Imagine the discounts... | |
$15,000? C'mon, I could build a suit and buy a person of the black market slave trade myself for like half that. | |
Awww, That would have been kickass if they would have really did that. I'm rather dissapointed. | |
Wait, that's... A pretty damn good idea. TO THE BLACK MARKET! *Trumpet fanfare* | |
I MUST HAVE!!!!! Does anyone want to buy my kidney? In all seriousness, that was pretty cool. | |
Haha, at least 2k Games got a sense of humor. Maybe they can sell the ultra edition featuring your miniature Big Daddy figurine functioning like a robot. | |
wow that is awesome. full of win, if i might be so bold. good stuff 2k, good stuff. | |
I'd have to tone down the moaning it does, drive me mad after a week. But if they put this much effort into this vid, hopefully the game will be good too | |
Ha, that was pretty good, and if i had a Big Daddy, i'd have some good times messing with my mates' heads | |
Yeah, I like it when the developers of a game are humorous about things. The previous time I saw something like this in recent memory is the video Monolith made for the introduction of Slow-Mo Deathmatch in F.E.A.R. 2... Interesting side-note, this video swayed me into getting the Special Edition for Bioshock 2 as well. At the very least, I'll have a bunch of really cool stuff to look over. | |
Hehe, that is brilliant. I certainly would nveer have the money to spend on that at least, but, if someone did...XD Its great to see 2K have a sense of humour =D | |
Great little spoof on themselves. Better call human resources. | |
I thought it was serious...bum | |
The best thing about this is that it's clear the dev team are taking the mickey out of themselves and/or people that buy the special edition - the fact that the woman spends time pouring over the "sturdy box" as the first part of the package proves that. Good stuff, 2K! | |
hell yea! | |
Aaahaha! The ending was f**king hilarious! It would be a neat idea to really sell those suits (maybe even the drill being functional), I bet people would actually buy it. | |
I thought it was actually real at first. I've gotten used to games pushing the marketing envelope, so it didn't seem quite so farfetched. Kinda like the TransFormers edition of the Camero. For an additional $10k, it was all yours. | |
CANCELLED?! Seriously though if that was real, that would be without doubt the best video game special edition ever. | |
I was happy until I found out it was a Rosie. WHY IS IT ALWAYS A ROSIE!? GAAH! Oh well, still waiting for BioShock 2 with great anticipation. | |
you're own Big Daddy? that'd kick SO much ass! all you'd have to do is shell out an extra $4k for an actual Master Chief armor suit, $30k for a Barrett sniper rifle, and you'd be all set to take over a small town! and nothing pulls in the poon like usurping the mayoral office of a rural township, gamer style. | |
Great video, but can you get the art book seperately? I think it'd be awesome, but don't want to pay for all the other crap that it comes with (excluding the game, of course). | |
I believed it right up to the point where it shot blue lightening out its hand. Then I guessed it was a joke and something inside of me died. | |
Damn, because that would be awesome. I actually thought it was going to be like a life-size model, expertly crafted and detailed....maybe not worth 15k, but a few grand I could believe. | |
Well. I'll take out a loan for that. | |
Wow, I really want the special edition now, looks amazing. Weirdly enough though as I was watching the video I revieved an email fro Zavvi telling my my order has been shipped for Bioshock 2 Rapture Edition(unofficial special ed.) So no turning back now. Can't complain though, was £30 on 360 and by the looks of it I'll be getting it early! | |
You can live without 80% of your liver. It's the only organ that regenerates. | |
That was hilarious. And I'm also impressed by the real Special Edition. Gods I'm glad I ordered that, but that box is HUUUUGE, where am I going to leave it?! And I'm probably never going to actually pláy that record, but who cares, it's awesome to just háve. | |
This Big Daddy went for only $2,000. And personally, I think it's cooler than the Uber Edition one. | |
That was hilarious, though I honestly expected the $15,000 Uber Edition to simply be a normal copy of Bioshock 2, without the DRM or Games for Windows Live. | |
I'd be a pillock at this : I'd buy it open it up right away see 't was a rosie then go up to the salesperson and go "Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Can I have a bouncer instead!!!!!????" in a rlly childish voice :) | |
So before I watched the vid, my first thought was "Do I have that much credit left?" Because I was assuming it was an official animatronic. The video made me laugh though and I am really looking forward to getting my special edition next week! | |

2K Unveils $15,000 BioShock 2 "Uber Edition"
Do you want your very own Big Daddy? No, not a figurine, I mean your very own Big Daddy? That's what the BioShock 2 Uber Edition is for!
We'd previously reported on the really, really cool BioShock 2 Special Edition, also known as a videogame memorabilia collector's wet dream: For $100, the Special Edition contained a vinyl LP with the BioShock soundtrack, retro-style posters, and a huge, 164-page art book (oh yeah, and the game and its soundtrack), too.
But as awesome as that collector's edition was, 2K Games figured, "You know what? A $100 limited edition is piddly sh*t." Then it looked at Modern Warfare 2's Prestige Edition, and decided, "Yeah, we can do even better."
So in the above video, after the very nice lady is done unboxing the (really, really awesome) Special Edition and showing all of that off, she decides to unveil the super-special-secret BioShock 2 Uber Edition. Retailing at $14,999.99, the Uber Edition - limited to just 500 copies - will come with its own fully functional Big Daddy. Unfortunately, as the video shows, having a Big Daddy around isn't always the best thing in the world.
As awesome as said Uber Edition would be, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it probably doesn't actually exist. Which is a shame, really - who wouldn't want their own real-life Big Daddy?
I know I sure would!
