According to the Game (UK) website, Game have it listed for sale as a Game Exclusive. In other words, it looks like the only place you can buy it from (apart from Ubi) here in the UK is Game. So no Amazon, Play etc.

The add-on should sell for much, much less. Something like 10$.

Alex · 02-26-08, 07:51 AM

If I'm not mistaken its price is 30$

... The price here is 20€ (which is the same price than in $).

I HOPE that they didn't get their prices adjusted yet but will, as the add-on is due on the 28th.

Saw it advertised here: Direct2Drive.com for $9.95.

Let's hope this for the community... But don't worry, we know the dev team has nothing to do with the price of the add-on, Dan.
The Ubi marketing guys are evil.

Selling such an expensive add-on will not be easy, especially when you know that a lot of players on here are now allergic to u-boote

, and want to enjoy the Pacific theatre of operations as much as possible.

sergbuto · 02-26-08, 08:12 AM

Here in Sweden the price is also about 20€ as for today.

elanaiba · 02-26-08, 08:20 AM

The 10$ (suppose 10 euros in Europe) price was set by the marketing guys, they are not (that) evil

Sergbutto - is that the price for actually buying the add-on, off the shelve?

elanaiba · 02-26-08, 08:21 AM

OMG need more post to lose this avatar!

LE: Phhew, that was a close one!

For some reason I still cannot find any retailer in the USA that has this game available now or for preorder online. I've checked GameStop.com, EBGames.com, Amazon.com, and BestBuy.com.

Are they all just shoddy on updating their websites or what? Should I just drive down to my local GameStop or EBGames or Best Buy today and see?

snakeyez · 02-26-08, 08:55 AM

Actually, this is the only option for purchase (or preorder) I've seen for the USA online.

It's a $9.95 download version from Ubisoft USA that says it will be available for download on the 28th. I thought this game was coming out here in the USA today, on the 26th? Either way, I want a nice boxed hard copy.

Marketing has never been one of Ubisoft's strong points......at least relating to the Silent Hunter series. Thankfully, they have great Devs.
