Default Massive Price Drop!

Browsing Amazon, and I just noticed that SH5 went from £22.93, to £12.98, within a space of a few hours! That's quite a considerable drop, even for Amazon. I wonder if those low ratings have anything to do with it?

Check it out, here.

In the States, 'Go Gamer' has it for $32. Just the beginning.

I heard that Ubisoft has done a deal to give a Toyota away with every copy!

I'm surprised that it was reduced so quickly, given that it has not been out all that long. I expected it to hold the £20 tag for a while longer, but perhaps Amazon UK have been having trouble shifting it? Regardless, that is a tempting price, especially if it continues to fall.

As long as it doesn't kill anyone, I'd say that's a good deal.

Engine and wheels require a registered Toyota account. Seats will provided at a later date.

Game has it at £12.98 as well and interestingly, it is selling AC 2 for £16.98 - was it always that low?

Do I have to upgrade the sales guy at the dealership in order to get better gas mileage?

But I think there has been more SH5 crashes than Toyota crashes.

As long as the Toyota doesn't need to be connected to Ubisoft while driving, so you can go for a long drive when the Ubisoft servers go down again.

So one of their free compensations, was a game that has been free to download [FROM UBISOFT!!!] for two years now?

WTF?

I'm assuming Far Cry was also on the list?

What a bunch of con artists.

Enjoy the kool-aid boys...
