Thanks for the tip; will definitely look into that. :) But yeah, the experience had definitely pushed me towards Steam when considering Ubisoft games these days. Haha. If they've changed it, then that's cool.

Hrm, does Ubisoft still have that 'can only download for 30 days after purchase' policy? That turned me off from most direct-from Ubi purchases. I also found that Ubi offered no help when I asked them about how to get access to the downloadable game I had purchased (Splinter Cell: Conviction)...

As long as there's one person paying for the monthly subscription, they'll keep it pay-to-play. I don't think EA has ever had any games switch from P2P to F2P (UO, DAOC, Warhammer, etc); maybe they'll reduce the game price to $0 and have it be monthly subscription buy in, but I don't think...

Last time I checked, there were a lot of exclusions in their fine print. Could you paste that in your post please? I would, but using mobile internet.

Keep in mind that keys from eBay are usually for another region and/or may be bought with stolen credit cards and resold through eBay (and, if the publishers decide they don't like you buying for another region or the keys are fraudulent, they will be removed from your account). Just putting it...

Hrm, if you get the physical version from Amazon, does it also come with an additional OnLive voucher? I guess this is tangentially related to this deal, since $15 more gives you an extra copy.

Can understand your reaction, since the standard upgrade says no game time; however, the Father's Day sale (which was just a few weeks back) had the same Digital Collector's upgrade on sale for $17, had the same wording on the site (includes everything the standard edition has), yet still gave...

They're 'digital collectors' -- people who collect digital things. :) On a side note, for clarification, does the Collector's Edition for $17 come with a free month of gameplay? Isn't that cheaper than getting the regular edition + a month subscription?

Hrm, whenever I get to the 'complete purchase' button, it just says I'm going to be charged in yen. Haha.

I'd imagine that it's $37 because the developers want to have a good amount of players in the beginning of its life cycle or to lure players from other MMOs. If it's still on sale in a month for that price, or even lower, then that would be a cause for concern. I think games like Aion or...

Looking for a Nyxquest group.

Deluxe edition for $17.97 straight from EA (direct download still), until September 5th.

Not sure if it's also a 'sale' or 'deal' price, but Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core is also $12.99 (shipped by Amazon), if anyone wants to be one step closer to completing the Final Fantasy PSP collection (I believe there are two more games, Tactics and the first Final Fantasy)...

P3P in widescreen on an HDTV... fills a void like what! So satisfying.

This and Assassin's Creed 2 are pretty much the only Steam games you can't play in offline mode; it was actually really annoying for Assassin's Creed 2 during launch, but has been just 'alright' in the following weeks, so I feel like it may be the same experience for this game. Definitely...
