It is all separate keys so you could gift or resell the game key

Err, I was replying to this:

I was talking about Borderlands 1/2, not PayDay.

If you press PC Download it is listed as $10.19.

I thought if I activated on my uplay it would be linked and added to the library like the other AC games.

Oh weird. I saw a different listing for it that said unavailable. My mistake.

I don't know if uPlay works that. None of the Steam games I have registered to my Uplay account show up in my uPlay client. I might be missing something though haven't really looked into it.

AC2 (Retail); ACB (Amazon DVG); and ACR Gold (Gamersgate) do ALL show-up on my Uplay.
I don't even have AC2 install on my new rig here; it's on my old rig.
The others - ACB and ACR Gold are installed here on this new rig.

You have to install them; be signed into your UPlay account; and actually earn some Achievements for them to show-up on UPlay for you.

Ooooh thanks for reminding me to install ACB! Installing it just for multiplayer (for now), I hope people still play.

I've had fun playing it with friends, but it's mostly been a game we hit when we have 15-20 minutes to kill while we are waiting for someone to come online, etc.

I own both games, but only played Payday online a couple times (is difficult to find games with people who don't kick you out because they want a private server but forgot to... meh). Played BL singleplayer only, never online, because don't have friends playing it (and don't want to pay for BL2 before finishing/going online with BL1)

I think I will go with BL... want to try if the MP is as fun as everybody said...

Show up as downloadable or just as games you own and earn achievements on?

I completely finished AC2 on Steam and earned everything and it still won't show up in my Uplay. Not sure why.

On a separate note, I see GMG has Jet Set Radio for under $5 for 24 hours. I'm not sure if I should buy that with cash, or hope that Jet Set Radio gets into the 2012 editors choice at some point so I can get it free at $5 hopefully.

My game achievements for From Dust, SC Conviction and AC2 show up, but no option to download them in uPlay. Just SF Driver which I got for $1.

It's showing up as $3.39 for me, $2.38 after 30% off coupon. Tony hasn't commented that games are being given out for free, so I wouldn't hold your breath and there is no guarantee JSR is even making it on the EC list.

Well... never mind that. I try to download ACB through Amazon (my only option, since Uplay has no activate key function) and it's going to take 18 hours to download 10GB...

My internet is giving me a 2684.6 KB/sec transfer rate, so I know it's not my connection. I can never download anything from Amazon, ever. Why the hell are their servers so slow?

If this keeps up, I really can't buy any DRM-free from Amazon... Steam, Origin, Desura, etc all give me 1-1.5MBps...

Last question... 2K shooter Pack or The WTF pack? I own all the games... except DNF (...) and only want BL GOTY to gift a friend

AC2 is NOT installed on this new rig; it was on my old rig.
Though, it does have a "Download" symbol on it on UPlay (for my new rig).

ACB and ACR Gold are installed on this rig.
They show up as "ready to play".

My copies of Splinter Cell: Conviction (Retail) & Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands (Steam) are NOT showing on Uplay.
Never installed them on this new PC; though they were on my older rig.

So, who the hell knows w/ UPlay.
Go figure. {shrug}

People complain about Origin, but it's relatively easily to know if your games will show up. Did EA publish it? Do you have proof? They will almost always add it via customer service chat if there isn't a self-add process.

None of my PC Ubisoft games show up on uPlay for download unless I bought it specifically from them.

Any hope of having the sims 3 on the EC list? i dont want all the fancy DLC's, i just want the normal game, it was 10 bucks in december and i didnt bit, i would use a coupon on it very happily now (14.99 to 9.99 like it was)

Actually, maybe I'm blind - SC: Conviciton (Retail) is showing within UPlay for "Download".

I should note on the UPlay web-page (Not within the program) and when I sign in and jump into my account...
...it shows POP: Forgotten Sands (Steam) and as SC: Conviction (UPlay) as OWNED.

Go figure. {shrugs}

EDIT:
I just signed in and out of UPlay.
Now my copy of From Dust (from Amazon DVG) that I've had installed for some time is showing up in UPlay as "Ready To Play".
Is this client-program crazy or something? :-X

I might not be understanding this correctly, but if issue #5 was something normally bought in TSW, where are issues 1-4 to purchase?

@asheskitty I had 645GB free on that drive. I finally restarted the client 3 times, and did another repair broken data, and it said it was finally updated. Made a backup of the install folder, cause I'm not going through that again.

Issues 1-4 are included.

I DL'd ACB though Amazon as well. Went faster than the estimated time, but it was still slower than pushing water uphill. It's definitely something Amazon (and Origin for that matter) needs to improve on.

If you have everything, I guess it doesn't matter. I'm biased against DNF for what it's worth, but you might as well get the WTF/TCA Pack then, so you'll get something out of it.

Speaking of which, did anyone manage to get EA CS to add TSW to their Origin account? The key won't activate by default.

And I apologize in advance if that's been answered pages back but this thread moves way too fast.
