It's what you get for being too pushy about it

Over the past few days, rumor had it that BioShock was coming to the PlayStation 3. Sure enough, this is not the first time BioShock was rumored to hit Sony's next-gen machine, and that's why a post on the 2K forums totally dismisses such rumor, with rage almost.

This is the entry of an official 2K forums moderator:

"Please don't tell me you made an account just for this question ... There will be no PS3 version of BioShock. It has been explained time and time again."

So I guess that just about erases the whole BioShock-on-PS3 rumor. Actually, it's also very possible that such rumors will go on, given all the BioShockless PS3 owners out there who simply won't admit that the game will never hit their systems. However, it is clear that Irrational doesn't see the PS3 as a priority right now, since future content for BioShock is already a somewhat bump in the road for the developing team:

Ken Levine commented on the future content for BioShock some while ago (Games for Windows Magazine interview):

"Diablo II, to me, was a great model for an expansion, because it enhanced the original game, but also extended the game, too. I'm not a really big fan of expanding things just by linearly adding to the experience, adding a new campaign, as much as I am of enhancing the original experience and adding replayability to that experience. I think that certainly BioShock's combat experience is great, but it could be broader. I'm a little more confused as far as how to expand the narrative experience."

Levine's interview also reveals that "a lot of plasmids got cut" while developing the respective first-person shooter, so this should give you an idea on what the team is going to focus on when creating DLC for BioShock, if they decide to do so of course. However, Levine himself mentioned that "the narrative experience" is somewhat of a bump in the road, as far as additional stuff to BioShock goes, so that leaves little room for speculation on a PS3 port. They've got their hands pretty full over there at Irrational.
