SH5 <$5 at amazon

nikimcbee · 02-06-11, 03:58 PM

It might be the time to buy it, I looked today and the price was $4.60

. I should cave in and buy it.

Tempting, but as long as you can't play it without an internet connection that 4.60$ is better spent somewhere else.

Noooo just bought mine for $7.50.

Look on the plus side, at this price its just Amazon shifting stock Ubisoft won't see a penny of it.

No comment.

I know, posting to say "no comment" is actually making a comment.

okay, I did the nasty and ordered it. Now, does the DRM stuff still hold true (meaning it is todt) (constant internet connection)

What an odd question, considering http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=177031

No, mine is new. The regular shipping is almost the same as the price.

welcome to the dark side......

you just need to logon to start the game, after that an internet connection is not required.

Now, if only Ubi will drop the login requirement, or at least add an offline mode. While i guess it's true you don't need a constant connection, the fact remains without a connection, you still can't play.

testing out game now....

Time to mod...

I am considering buying the download version at Amazon. I still play SH3 on occasion, so I figure SH5 *might* be worth it, though all the complaints, etc, still have me worried.

FWIW, the DL version is just $9, which is not too much more than $4.60 + $4 shipping.
