Forgot to mention that I bought it yesterday, had it install over night, got up, double clicked "Bioshock 2" did the CD key, got it verified, now when I try to start it, it says preparing to start... Once that disappears, Bioshock doesn't start.

restart computer.

delete local content, install again.

I will use it again, I hope I don't have to redownload the whole thing again. It was 10 GB's.

Then I could see how it would be a problem, and I have no idea why I get a negative rating on that other post, anyway did you try my suggestions?

Yep, none of them worked.
I'll try deleteing it and reinstalling it, I'll get back to yuh tomorrow.

Would you say Bioshock is worth the $9.99? Or should I wait till it's cheaper?

The first Bioshock? Umm... It probably won't get any cheaper, but I guess I'd say so if you haven't played it before. I beat both Bioshocks on an Xbox 360 a long time ago, now it's like playing it again because of the memories. But Yeah, it's a great game. I'm getting the new once in the Fall.
