Urgh... do I really want Assassin's creed for the X360?

... what are the differences between the two?

Ah... I'm torn. I want the figure, and I like the package deal... but I'd much prefer to play on the PS3... but if there's no practical difference in gameplay... I don't see why not.

... bloody heck, this X360 version had better be the definitive version, because I'm about to order one.

 

[luffeN]

wow, thx !! seems like all ubisoft games for 360 are so far region free damn.. if i only had ordered splinter cell there :/

PS3 version is available for the same price... I'm sure they'll be identical, and they're both confirmed to be region free.

 

[anachronous_one]

droooooool ...

I suppose this is one of those CE's that will never ever see the light of day over here in the US, huh? Kinda scary ordering it and banking on the fact that the final game really is region-free. I understand that it's Ubi, and I know their track record with 360 games being region-free thus far, but still ...

Does PA charge your CC immediately, or do they only charge once the item has shipped?

EDIT: Never mind the CC question ... I'm a dumbass. Reading FTW!

In stock on Mar, 2007. We do not charge your credit card before pre-orders are being shipped.

 

[Chû Totoro]

Well we don't know a lot about the game and even if i hope a very good game i can't just buy that because of a figure :/

 

[careksims]

Dammit! That figure's tempting! That would be nice to go to my collection.

 

[gkryhewy]

Per CAG, it's already confirmed region free (somehow), they won't charge until it ships, and it will be coming to the US (this set) but will cost $100.

 

[Mashing]

Damn, I was hoping for a Jade Raymond figurine.

Mashing am cry

It's a cool looking figure. I ordered one. Supposedly there will be a CE US version, but it's going to be $100 bucks, so this is a good deal.

They won't charge your credit card until it ships, and I figure I can always cancel my order before it ships if I change my mind for whatever reason.

Why not just wait and see if it gets released in the US. I cant see why it wouldnt get released here but on CAG where this is posted, it says the US version is rumored at 100$ WTF! and it says its already confirmed region free too.

Its on their homepage.

Thanks, I checked the item description again and realized I didn't read the listing fully. I appreciate you answering the stupid question of mine so nicely, though. ;-)

 

[Zaptruder]

PS3 version is available for the same price... I'm sure they'll be identical, and they're both confirmed to be region free.

But I don't see P-A's preorder link!

God... P-A must be so happy with customers like me. Loyal to a fault

That and they're about the only viable source for Asian X360 games for me... and considering that I own an Asian X360... heh.

 

[gkryhewy]

But I don't see P-A's preorder link!

The PA site search is your friend! Here: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-bp-77-1-49-en-15-assassin%27s+creed-70-1o6j.html

[heavy liquid]

If anyone is interested in this, you might want to act fast. I can see it selling out with word spreading on this deal:

[Chû Totoro]

And if it comes out first in US or EU ?
ME AM CRY !

Don't know what to do...

 

[steviebomb]

*ordered PS3 version* Thanks for the heads up, gkrykewy!

 

[McBacon]

Is that not.... CGI?

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Is there anything else in the box? I'm not that interested in a figurine.

The game... :/

 

[MrPrime]

I do hope they will sell the figurine seperatly from the game or at least give the option to those who would want to. I have to admit i like the Assassin's quality in terms of the figurine itself. I'm definatly getting the game though.

 

[beat]

That's the figure for sure? It looks a lot like CG...

 

[Crazy Harry]

ordered, for pc (not planning on buying a 360 or ps3 anytime soon)
now it is waiting and be very surprised when i have long forgotten i ordered and it arrives...

 

[Bruises]

Definatley CGI. It is a mock up of the box artwork only. I asked Play Asia and that's what they said.

 

[Zer0]

anyone have a cuopon from play asia? i want to order this figure but have none

 

[NotMSRP]

.direct links:
PC version
PS3 version
Xbox 360 version
I preordered the PS3 one. Comes out to $70. Not much more if you bought it at B&M.

 

[luffeN]

so, semi good news for us europeans

i asked ubisoft austria about releasing the CE edition in europe, and this is the answer i got

Hallo ******,

es gibt dahingehend zwar Überlegungen, aber es ist noch nichts fix.

Lg *****


meaning that they think about it, but nothing is set in stone as of yet

so if they think about it for europe, us should be a given

 

[XSamu]

Region free OMG
Maybe I'll get it with the figure

 

[Notorious_Roy]

How can they know it's going to be region free?

 

[Dachande]

I'm more worried about whether it'll definitely be in English or not.

 

[Fallofmart]

I ordered, hope it's region free and such.

 

[neorej]

60 bucks for a CE, while the game will retail for 65? Gee, what a tough decision...

 

[Beer Monkey]

60 bucks for a CE, while the game will retail for 65? Gee, what a tough decision...

$75 shipped from P-A when the regular version will be $43-$48 shipped? I don't collect dolls.

 

[luffeN]

I ordered, hope it's region free and such.

it is, every ubisoft 360 game so far is region free and in english, concerning the asia version

 

[Regret Truth]

Just pre ordered, I hope I get one!
