Listed on eBay<\/a> this week, an extremely rare Bioshock audio diary went up for sale likely timed with the release of the popular Bioshock Infinite.

By sending letters to the mailing addresses listed on the game site, players would\u00a0receive\u00a0packages delivered by men dressed in 1950’s uniforms.<\/p>\n

Assuming they were able to answer all questions correctly, they were able to listen to an actual audio diary modeled after the diaries within Bioshock and Bioshock 2. While not all players were able to keep the audio diary, the eBay seller had driven for ten hours to get to the storage facility and the 2K games rep allowed him to keep the working model.<\/p>\n
