    Every time I launch the client it says 49.99. I must be missing something.

    When I click on your link it says $12.49. It then instructs me to launch the client and then shows $49.99.

    I see it as $12.49. At that price, it's a pretty darn good deal. I remember buying this from Steam for $49.99 just a couple months ago ><

    Yeah, and the pricing is around $40 yet at sites like amazon, etc :)

    I think the site is being really rather finicky or MS, doesn't have it "together" yet...... :rolleyes:

    awe :( I see it for 12.49 on their site. when you log in to windows live there is a huge banner stating 75% off batman also. But when you click it the navigation takes you to bioshock 2 for regular price. navigating to the game manually is the same. its listed as regular price. :(

    I've heard the graphics on the PC are better than on the consoles. Although, obviously only if your computer can handle high settings.

    Anyway, good deal. Details on the DRM can be found here: http://forums.gamesforwindows.com/t/9446.aspx

    Semi related to the recent posts, I walked into a Target and they're selling PC SFIV for $10 on some clearance racks. This was probably a week or so ago.
