I was about to buy it via steam last night, but ran into this thread:

I have a widescreen for PC gaming, and I expect to see more, not less of the screen!

It's the 21st century, for crying out loud. Widescreens are the standard nowadays, and games that are five years old fully and correctly support 16:9/16:10 aspect ratios. Why can't a game that was developed in 2007?

Even the developers said they implemented widescreen "correctly"... and it affects both the 360 and the PC versions.

No thanks, I'll pass until they fix/patch this very basic problem that should have never occurred in the first place.

If you're that worried about looking at the floors and ceiling of a closed in underwater city, go ahead and wait. I played both 4:3 and 16:9 today and the 4:3 looked weird. The angles looked funky near the top and bottom of the screen.

I'm waiting alright. So are loads of people - refusing to buy the game until something so basic as correct camera angles are patched, returning the game or cancelling their pre-orders.

The 2K forum has temporarily limited/locked new member registration because of the public reaction which has been tremendous. I've never seen anything like it before!

Last night, (about 11 hours ago from this post)  there were 14 pages of posts. Now there are over 56 (and growing) - despite 2K trying to curb the number of posts!

Besides, I easily have over two dozen games installed on my PC that I haven't completed yet. I can wait. I'm patient, and like many many others, find the camera implementation inexcusable and do expect a fix to resolve the problem.

The scores of disgruntled consumers on aforementioned forum is testament that I'm far from the only one that finds an issue with the cameras in Bioshock.
