With the Das Boot DVD now available for under $10 through sites like Amazon, I think it would have been a great idea for Ubisoft Sales And Marketing to have done a deal allowing them to give the Das Boot DVD away with each copy of Silent Hunter V.
For potential retail buyers to see a brand new U Boat video game for sale in retail stores, that is obviously based to some degree on Das Boot, and which includes a free copy of the Das Boot DVD, would be a great selling point to the all important 'casual gamers' in my view.
A free movie is a free movie, and when it happens to be probably the greatest WWII sub movie ever made, it could only boost sales of SHV.
This would have been an easy deal to do for Ubisoft, and even if it tipped the price point of the game to maybe $52, I think it would have been well worth it in terms of additional sales.
My two cents anyway.
