If you fire up Bioshock this morning you will be greeted with the lovely news that a new title update is available. This update will fix the much discussed faux-widescreen issues. There are some bug squashings as well, but most will be too busy cheering the new widescreen fix to notice. PC users have a patch too, but you have to get that in other ways. XBox Live just makes it too easy for us.But that’s not all! Also available on the 360 this morning is a new FREE set of downloadable content. This pack adds four brand new plasmids (Machine Buster 1 & 2, Vending Expert 1 & 2, Sonic Boom 1 & 2 and EVE Saver), an option to disable the Vita Chambers, and a new achievement that will be WAY out of my grasp called Brass Balls. To snag this 100 point achievement you have to beat the game on hard without ever using a Vita Chamber. Now that’s just masochistic. The full update list follows. XBOX 360 TITLE UPDATE FIXES AND FEATURES
