So our Nvidia brethren are able to force AA in Bioshock. Any thoughts on when we'll see such ability from our ATI cards?
The game of course is totally playable, but after having AA enabled in every game I play for many years now, not having AA makes the game looks rough.
edit:
Hmmm, seems Koroush over at tweakguides came up with some ideas for ATI users.
I have the Steam version =( someone with the retail version should try this out.

ATI Cards:
Windows XP, Vista - It is not normally possible to use Antialiasing in Bioshock on any ATI card, whether in DX9 or DX10, even though X1X00 cards and newer can do HDR+AA. This is likely an ATI driver issue.
However ATI X1X00 and HD2X00 users can apparently force the game to use AA in DX9 if you rename the Bioshock.exe file to Oblivion.exe, make sure Catalyst AI is enabled (as that's what detects the game-specific optimizations/capabilities), and then you should be able to force AA in your Catalyst Control Center. You probably need to add -dx9 to the shortcut in Vista as per the example further above, but I can't personally test this though others have confirmed this method works. I.e should look something like this:
"E:\Program Files\2K Games\BioShock Demo\Builds\Release\Oblivion.exe" -dx9
Note: The STEAM version of the game doesn't allow the successful renaming of the game executable, so this method will only work on the retail version of the game.
