I give up!
It's taken me two days to get past the second loadpoint of the bioshock demo, only to find that it crashes near to the end. Complete lock-up in roughly the same place each time.
Apparently, I'm not the only one. There are 40 pages of people on the official forums with the same or similar issues to what I have experienced, and so far the official word from 2k is... nothing. Nothing at all.
It seems rediculous when every other game I've played in my recent memory has worked flawlessly - from Half Life 2 through to C&C3. I have a modern PC that exceeds the minimum requirements, so why should a game demo give me this much trouble? I saw a friend of mine play it through in about 15 minutes, yet it's taken me two days to simply make it crash a bit later.
From what I've seen so far, it's a beautiful, immersive, atmospheric game. However, I see no reason to part with my money for a product that I'm fairly certain won't work, no matter how good it is on the rare occasions where it does.

I'm hoping it will be patched to a decent standard, yeah. Apparently, though, there are a few 360 owners with issues too, which is a little... odd, since 360s are essentially the same under the chassis.
I'll certainly keep apprised of their progress in patching it. Hopefully, they release an updated demo so I can check to ensure it works on my system...
Thanks for the comments, ThaSod

I'd just hate for you to miss this great game.
