No mate, it's the full price and no bonus items.
And yes I expect bugs .... lots

This is one of those decisions that you should make on your own and not allow anyone to influence you.

Another one for "Do whatever you think is right for you".

I'm using Neal's SH3 review as levelling for his SH5 review. He gave SH3 100% all across the board. Any less than 100% for SH5 and my decision is made.

If your that easy... Give me your paycheck. NOW!!!

Abstained.....don't be a sheeple, decide what is the best course of action for you as an individual.

To each their own

Guys, nobody here should ever be intimidated by the opinion of other members. If you want to purchase the game then purchase it. And if you want to give feed back on the game, then feel free to do that also.

The purpose of myself and others complaining about DRM is not to influence others in terms of purchasing choices. We are simply expressing an opinion that some share and others don't.

This is not a trade union. Anyone wishing to purchase this game should do so with no feeling of guilt. For me, not purchasing it is a point of principle. For others, DRM is not a big deal.

That's the circle of life.

I haven't checked my punctuation or spelling, so I apologise in advance, Steve.

Don't worry. At work I am frequently surrrounded by Master degree holders whom I consider to be depressingly close to illiterate.....

Here are a few words from an acknowledged master of the language, George Orwell:

It is rather the same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. The point is that the process is reversible. Modern English, especially written English, is full of bad habits which spread by imitation and which can be avoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble.

He wrote that in 1946 (the bolding was done by me). It's an extract from an essay 'Politics and the English Language', and I use that quote as exhibit 1 when someone tells me spelling/punctuation/grammar don't matter.

I think that essay should be included in every English curriculum around the world, especially for his simple rules for clear writing.

OK, off soap box...

I think jscones is right im going to wait until neals review is out and then make my decison maybe ubisoft will come to there senses and release the game with an offline option and all this will come to pass

Another vote for the "do what you like" camp. I will not be bullied, pressured or otherwise intimidated by the purchasing decisions of others, no matter how much the messages put forth in some member's signatures would like me to be.

I will not tell an individual to buy or not to buy. However, everyone should know, Despite my dissapointment I'm not buying.' This damned trickery Ubi wants to use to eventually charge us a service fee to finance servers, etc. doesn't work with me.

If enough of us stand firm, Ubi's plan will fail. We are not alone. Because of the DRM launch we're up front. Lots and lots of gamers out there will also vote with their wallets.

Moo!

[Adriatico]

What feedback could you provide to me - on my relation towards online play and "renting" the games... and my preffered privacy... ?

@ Steeltrap: Thanks for the Orwell reference. I had never read it, but his own illustration about 'dressing up' language reminds me of one I came up with a long time ago:

While it is theoretically true that one may direct a quadruped of the genus equus to a nearby source of liquid refreshment, it does not necessarily follow that one may coerce said equestrian to partake thereof.
