Gentleman, i need your support...

NorthStorm · 02-26-07, 01:20 PM

Subsim mates, i need your support by voting on the Silent Hunter forum concerning the Complete Limited Edition of Silent Hunter 4 (the one that the Ubi UK online shop is offering).

This morning, i spoke with an agent in the US sales departement at Ubisoft wich was by the way, very understandable and, concerning the availability of the UK Complete Limited Edition. We all know that for a Candian like me, i would cost me around 200$ to get that Edition. That's unfair!!!! He told me that it was a question of money because Silent Hunter is not as popular in North America and others country than in the UK. We knew that but, a Silent Hunter player is a Silent Hunter player...no matter his nationality!!!

So, he advise me to start a poll on the forum to ask the Silent Hunter community who would have bought the Complete Limited Edition.

I`m starting one and i hope that you guys will help me by supporting the poll.

Here's the link: http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t...3/m/3471098635

Thank you and have a great day.

I can't help you because the German ubistore offers the DE and I already succesfully ordered one. But nonetheless I wish you good luck because everybody should have the opportunity to get a DE no matter where he/she lives!

I wish you well with your pole, NorthStorm, but I don't think you'll achieve anything with it. This was a marketing fiasco by a company with too many offices in too many Countries.

The best course of action for Ubisoft going forward, is for them always just to produce the basic game with an excellent user manual, map and quick reference chart.

You might be right TDK but, who try nothing gets nothing.

It's the only way that i can be heard and that's why i need your support.

Thanks for reading my post.

That's pretty much good advice for ANY game company.

But don't forget what a wise man once said:"Trying is the first step towards failure." (Homer Simpson)

Just kidding!

I hope you'll win that fight!

Bought one myself, but remember there are only 3000 copies in the whole world.

trenken · 02-26-07, 02:50 PM

I voted. I don't quite get why I can't order it off the Ubi store and pay extra for shipping? Isn't the NA version identical to the UK version? Because I live in NA they wont even allow me to order it. I've never seen anything like this.

Of course if in fact the collector's edition is essentially a different version from the NA version, then that I understand. But if not, then there is no excuse.

Boris · 02-26-07, 03:00 PM

I think it's kinda strange, because if any Silent Hunter is going to raise sales in North America, then it's SH4.

With the poll, keep in mind the DE is available to all Europeans, not just the UK.

It`s different because it have 10 more items in it.

Now that you are a member of subsim.com

Why didn't you just start a poll here and anounce the results over at the sub tender (so to speak) ubisoft forums?

No, I know the package has more, but is the base game itself any different for NA or UK? If it's the same, there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to order it and pay extra to ship it here. As of right now, there is no way or NA people to order it.

Boris · 02-26-07, 05:11 PM

Um, I always thought anyone can order it. If you go to the Ubi store and set shipping to the States, it's possible, you just have to pay alot extra.

EDIT: yep, just tried it... 25 pounds shipping to the US, on top of the 49.99 for the DE itself.
