How to Install BioShock Without Auto-Updating
After a game reaches the open market, it is not uncommon for the developer to send out a patch that resolves in-game issues or bugs. In the case of "BioShock," the first big game patch fixed missing items, small animation issues and audio problems. This patch automatically applies itself when you first start the game. Running the game without the patch leaves these glitches intact but requires a workaround.

Tips & Warnings
There is no way to avoid the auto-update for the PC version of "BioShock," as it relies on an Internet connection to complete its installation process.
You will still need the "BioShock" disc to play the game, even after installing to the PS3 or Xbox 360 hard drive.
