No, it is not covered by the sale of goods act.
That doesn't mean that there isn't another another act that is applicable.

There would be something under "description of goods" type clause which would entitle a return in the UK. Ubsioft sort of shoot themsleves in the foot by making a big deal on the box about requiring an internet connection. So they make the consumer jump through that hoop but still fail to provide the service as described on the box.

I've not heard of anyone in the Uk having probs returning SH5, and I've seen quite a few posts on people having done it through amazon or play.com. There's no doubt that distributors will lean on Ubisoft if this starts costing them money in extra admin costs/returns etc...

It is covered under the sale of goods act if you purchased the media, if you downloaded the game from somewhere like Steam of D2Drive I do not honestly know what your rights are in those circumstances.

Online retailers like Amazon and Play are covered by the distance selling act also.

As far as I know class action law suits do not apply to countries like the UK, so its down to the American members to answer that.

Remember it costs very little to write a letter you don't need to be a lawyer to do that just be clear and accurate.
