We had previously been told that in order to play BioShock Infinite in the unforgiving 1999 Mode, you'd need to beat the game on Hard difficulty first. But that is not the case, as you can also use the Konami code, I have been told.

The code, in case you were wondering, is as follows:

For PC and Xbox 360: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A
For PS3: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, O, X

Any of you folks eager to take advantage of this code? I don't think I'm cool enough to go anywhere near 1999 Mode.
