I'm playing this series on console, but this is a great price. Pair it with 1 and 2 from Newegg for $10 and you have quite a lot of PC gaming for little scratch.

Glad the CAG community approves of the deal this week !

Do you hear that? "Feed me!" "Feed me!"...I think your back catalog is trying to tell you something

I kid, of course, I am picking it up even though I haven't finished 2 yet, but I plan on playing it with my brother pretty exclusively and saving single player for later.

Thanks for pointing that out!

Also, I posted a gameplay video (courtesy of Kosmos13x) for those who want to see what the gameplay looks like.

Cheers,

That's an AWESOME deal and worth every single penny.
I can't stress that enough.

Bought the AC:BH game a little bit back from you guys at Amazon for download, when you matched D2D's deal at $16.

wowsers. awesome deal. keep them coming!!!

What sort of DRM does Ass Creed Bro have? I remember earlier games in the series had required internet connection and I think securom, so I'm not sure I want this.

AC2 and AC:BH both use U-Play (UbiSoft DRM).

Basically, it checks for a Net connection and you signed into your U-Play account at every boot time.
If you get kicked offline, you can still keep playing [on the SP portion, naturally].
Saves are also stored locally on your PC now.

Thanks for the quick reply, but I'm curious what that last bit means. Did they have a point where your saves were stored online on your account? Meaning without a reliable connection, you couldn't access your save games?

I've used it a few times now and it isn't pervasive. What are your thoughts on it MysterD? Or anyone else who has used it?

Would love to get feedback from the folks who have used Ubi's experience so I can gauge how you feel about it...I have a pretty good grasp on how the group who hasn't tried it and don't want to feel

Amazon DVG Deals, whats the reason you guys dont have RAGE for download? since is a game that activates on steam it would save us time and shipping prices, thanks

I actually had AC2 when it was "Always on" DRM (I bought it for like $15 retail box from Amazon, since the game tanked in sales, some time ago), before they scaled the DRM's measures down to what it is now and what they also decided to use for ACBH.

Personally, I think it's ridiculous for U-Play to want to check for me to be signed-in and my connection at every boot.
If you have a spotty or shoddy Net connection, this could be a problem.
Thankfully, I don't currently have a problematic Net connection.

It's annoying as hell that it wants to check every time I boot-up, and as much as I hate to say this, I've had no problems w/ AC2 or ACBH.

I wish Amazon DL service had Rage PC, as well.

I think given the level of problems the PC version has - see the Rage Steam forums, if you want to see the level of problems, especially w/ ATI users - we all should just sit and wait for it to be fixed and/or wait for some price-drops.

awesome deal! would get it at that price but i already have in on PS3...

I'd totally pick this up if I didn't just buy it from Gamefly.

Agreed.

This has been said a million times (yet publishers will not listen apparently). DRM ONLY hurts the customers and does nothing to stop pirates. They always find away around it and when that happens, its just up to the buyer to get the shaft.

*edit* I should say that their new DRM isnt as bad though. It is still a check, but at least it is not an always on or else deal!

Great price. I am very tempted to get it but wished the Brotherhood Deluxe Edition was on sale as well. I wouldn't mind paying a few bucks more for the little extras. *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*

Extras:

Trajan Market & the Aqueducts. The Harlequin and Officer multiplayer characters. Helmschmied Drachen Armor. Altaïr's Codex. Multiplayer characters cards. Strategy Map of Rome. Assassin’s Creed: Lineage Making-Of Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood Game Soundtrack

Now this is a deal! Great game for an amazing price

Does anyone know if HOMM 6 ($40 on amazon) activates on steam?

It does not. Typically, only games that require Steam's DRM will activate on Steam when using a retail product key. There are a few exceptions, but those are pretty rare. Here's a breakdown of all the games that can be activated on Steam using retail keys:

Hey there,

Thanks everyone for all the awesome feedback this week! It has been a ton of fun building and getting involved with all of the excitement here at CAG with you!

It sounds like the pre-order selection and promotion was a hit. You all also seem to be enjoying the Deal of the Week quite a bit.

Thanks for the constant feedback, video submissions (looking at you Kosmos!) and suggestions. This community is a pretty regular topic of conversation over here and we're glad you're all so willing to be active and constructive participants in this process.

Updated this thread with HOMM deal, can't wait to tell you about next week's deal of the week!
