Title: Ubi Soft's 2-for-1 Promotion
Post by: WindyMan on January 03, 2004, 07:43:07 AM: All this month, if you buy Prince of Persia you'll get Splinter Cell for free.

Source: Ubi Soft

Ubi Soft has a deal for those still waiting on the fence about buying the excellent Prince of Persia. All through the month of January, if you buy Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, you'll get Tom Clancy's Spinter Cell for free.

Details on how exactly this will work are unclear. Ubi says that the deal applies to all major platfroms from the GameCube to the PC, and the free copy of Splinter Cell will be given for the same system that Prince of Persia was purchased. The promotion will be available at all "major retailers," but it might be a good idea to check ahead and see if your outlet of choice will be offering the freebie.

Steven says: I'd imagine Ubi Soft is doing this to pick up game sales in the extremely slow game-buying month of January. Whatever the reason, though, picking up two great games for $50 is a great deal.

Although I have no particular interest in Splinter Cell, I can't resist something FREE.

I would have liked to have gotten the free Splinter Cell and sold it to one of my friends who didnt know about the offer for like $50, because im a nice person who likes to help out his friends.

Post by: AdvancedGamer on January 03, 2004, 08:14:41 AM: Well thats just great because I bought Splinter Cell about 2 weeks ago and I'm planning on getting PoP real soon. -_- o well I only got Splinter Cell for $15 anyway.

Post by: Odeix on January 03, 2004, 10:18:06 AM: I'd much rather they drop Prince of Persia to $25 bucks. The math works out alright anyway.

Post by: Ian Sane on January 03, 2004, 11:30:36 AM: Figures. I just bought Splinter Cell like a week ago. D'oh. At least I got it used for only $20 Canadian. This is a pretty cool deal though considering both game are GOTY contenders.

Post by: Guitar Smasher on January 03, 2004, 12:53:35 PM: I don't have either, so I am quite intrigued by this deal.

Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on January 03, 2004, 12:58:41 PM: We should pay for a game based on the amount of hours the adventure lasts. For PoP, if it's roughly a 10 hour game, we should be paying.... only $10!!!

Post by: Mario on January 03, 2004, 03:12:16 PM: Final Fantasy would be doomed then.

I hope this offer makes it out of the US, i'd definately get Prince of Persia if i got a free Splinter Cell with it.

Post by: Pale on January 03, 2004, 04:29:41 PM: Why couldn't it be PoP and BG&E.
Title: RE:Ubi Soft's 2-for-1 Promotion
Post by: Rize on January 04, 2004, 06:41:46 AM: I bought POP shortly after it came out but I haven't even started playing it yet. I could have not bought it and bought it now and gotten a free game I don't want (if I want any version of splinter cell, I want the original xbox version anyway; but I specifically wanted the gamecube versoin of pop).

Post by: The Omen on January 04, 2004, 10:47:02 AM: I too just bought Splinter Cell a little over a week ago. How aggravating.

Post by: UNCrules286 on January 04, 2004, 11:53:51 AM: Heh, if you go to Circuit City for this week, you get PoP and Splinter Cell for $40 combined. and BG&E is only $10 :

Post by: Pale on January 04, 2004, 01:38:16 PM: Yeah, if you want to play it on the ps2...
Title: RE:Ubi Soft's 2-for-1 Promotion
Post by: mouse_clicker on January 04, 2004, 02:04:44 PM: It baffles me that Circuit City is offering Beyond Good and Evil for $10 only on the PS2, the console that the game would undoubtedly sell the best on regardless of price. I have a PS2, and I'm tempted to buy it, but I'm not sure which version is the best to get.

Post by: seven_chaos on January 04, 2004, 08:50:29 PM: I'll definately be pickin of PoP sometime soon. Free games = happy times.

On a side note: I just beat Beyond Good and Evil a couple hours ago. Amazing game. Its been a while since I played a game so addictively. (I have the Gamecube version btw)
