Hasta La Gadget!

If our coverage of BioShock Infinite  has yet to entice you to pre-order the game in time for its March 26 release date, then maybe today’s news of pre-order bonuses will get you off your lazy rump to the nearest video game retailer to pre-order BioShock Infinite.

Irrational Games released a new trailer that is not only filled with gameplay footage, but it also has information regarding pre-order bonuses sprinkled throughout the trailer. The pre-order bonus, known as the Industrial Revolution Pack, will give players exclusive access to three in-game gear items that boost combat abilities, 500 bonus in-game currency, five lock picks and the Industrial Revolution puzzle game.

The Industrial Revolution Pack will only be available at participating retailers, which if you’re in the U.S. are GameStop, Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart and Irrational Games’ online store. If you’re outside of the U.S. and are curious which retailers will supply you with a Industrial Revolution Pack when you pre-order with them, head on over to BioShock Infinite’s pre-order portal.

Hmmm, for folks who have been looking forward to playing BioShock Infinite as soon as possible, it seems that a little bit more patience is in order. In fact, we are talking about a four week delay, meaning you will have to wait until March 26, 2013, to get a go at BioShock Infinite, as this is what Irrational Games announced recently. According to Creative Director Ken Levine, “Okay, guys, I have some bad news. When Rod [Fergusson, Epic’s former Production Director] came on the project a couple of months ago – and this dude is living in a hotel nearby because he really wanted to work on Infinite – he really fell in love with the game. But he said, ‘look, Ken, I really think the game would benefit from three or four more weeks’ I thought ahead to this conversation and went ‘Oh God!’ But at the end of the day, we’ve got to ship a great game. So if it’s three or four more weeks, then it’s three or four more weeks. So it’s March 26th, now.”

Previously, the game was meant to ship globally on February 26, 2013, and this delay is but one of the many in a list of setbacks for BioShock Infinite. First announced in August 2010, it was meant to hit the gaming markets in October this year, but the delay was there to help make the game “even more extraordinary”, although one would strongly suspect that it was yet unfinished or polished enough for a general release. Ah well, as long as it does not end up like a Duke Nukem Forever fiasco…
