The GOG release of BioShock includes the classic version of the game as well as the remaster.
Same for their Doom 3 release, which gives you both the BFG Edition and the original game.

Oh yeah I forgot about the DRM Free version Humble has. I'll try to pick that up instead of using my retail copy.
And also, Bioshock at first is mostly just an example of like "do the specs I have in mind be able to play this game at 60fps at 1280x1024".
Also, that's good to know about the PSU. I just wasn't too sure if it was going to handle it or not so I was going to have a replacement one ready.

It's about the message. By buying the HS version, that is classic only, you explicitly tell them to shove the remaster where the sun don't shine 😁
