Anyone still remember a little game called BioShock? Back in 2007, it proved to be an absolute gem, winning countless game of the year awards.

Now that it's coming to the PlayStation 3, it looks like this extreme port has one or two tricks up its digital sleeve. Behold the official BioShock PS3 boxart.

See that Home symbol in the bottom right-hand corner? That's the exciting bit. Not only does it imply that BioShock will have some form of Home support, but that Home will most certainly be available by its release. Our very own Dave Wales will be getting some hands-on time with BioShock PS3 at E3 this coming Wednesday, so we'll have more details for you then.

UPDATE: Andrew Rudson, a programmer at Digital Extremes, has confirmed that BioShock PS3 will contain trophies as well.

    Nope, that's the official one. Check it out on Digital Extreme's website by clicking the word 'digital' in the article.

    I don't want more logos plastered on the front of boxarts. No home and dualshock 3 logos on the sleeve we buy please, just on website/store promo boxes if you must.

    @fiddlesworth what the he!! are you talking not adding thoses logos is like not adding the price tag.

    I dont get it, even if it does have Home support why is it on the front of the box instead of on the back...?

    it sucks so hard that it's releasing so close to resistance 2 =[.... you'll have to wait, my precious... you'll have to wait.... delay yourself a good 4 weeks or something. it'll help everyone in the long run.

    i am not all that "worked up" about Home...it's a great concept but i think it still has a long ways to go in order to fulfill expectations...i'll be glad once it finally arrives but i am willing to wait as long as it takes for excellence

    I'll get it.......I need more trophies, woot woot.

    They really need to juice it up to be a great port. Like adding 1080p and add it with the extra stuff they said that they will be putting it in. I would paise this game as the best port anyone has done.

    That's cool, I think this game will make a worthy addition to my collection.  Home was such a big deal a year ago but I think it will have a lot to prove when, or shall I say if it ever gets released.

    • 4:37pm BST - July 13th, 2008

    I used to be exited about home. In the same way i used to be exited about christmas. Now its just like "oh rite.. cool i spose, its chrsitmas".

    psn id: gingo... very interesting, hope this is a common symbol on a lot of games soon to come out for the ps3

    • 6:48pm BST - July 13th, 2008

    the logo doesn't prove that home will be out by then...it could be that the game will support home whenever it comes out

    • 6:49pm BST - July 13th, 2008

    Too bad I'm not interested in Home because Sony can't get thier act togther and release the friggin thing, looking forward to BioShock though.

    Not bothering with this game, whats the point of this game coming to PS3 in the first place.Should have kept on the 360 and stay there.

  26. MercRecon | MercRecon

    • 10:06pm BST - July 13th, 2008

    I'm not a fan of this game (IPLAYED IT ON THE 360) but it's good to see that the developers at 2K are giving PS3 owner the royal treatment.

    I can't wait to get my hands on this!! Trophies + HOME FTW!!!!

    • 12:40am BST - July 14th, 2008

    I hope the implementation in Home is cool. It certainly has lots of potential to be seeing as how 3rd parties can add all sorts of neat stuff to the world including mini games and such. If the port is done well I may get this one. We'll see.

    i beat bioshock on the 360 and sold it right after game is good but has no replay value

    • 12:49am BST - July 14th, 2008

    LOL! I love how it says Bioshock boxart implies Home support, I was expecting some hidden picture I had to pry my eyes open for, but there it is! Plain and clear, the Home symbol! Definitely good news! I just mite try Bioshock, not for the Home thing but because I've been hearing alot of interest in this game and wanna see what the buzz is about, on the PS3 of course :D btw if heii ever freezes over and Halo does come to the ps3 and gets Home support, we can officially claim we won the war! woot go xbox 360 to ps3 conversons!

    you guys stop freaking out, just because bioshock comes out when home does doesn't mean it will come out soon.

    add me psn: harryboy3264

    • 10:51am BST - July 14th, 2008

    I'm echoing Guamdude 671 sentiments. This was the only game on the 360 I wanted. "Gears?" More like an updated version of Killswitch!
