Price mistake? Splinter Cell Conviction (PC) for $1.

You know. With the DRM they went with I said I wouldn't buy any Ubisoft game for any price with that DRM. I wouldn't even download it for free. Sure enough I'm sticking to my word.

No buy from me.
 
Damn I would pick it up on both PC and 360 but I have to wait until my wife gets back, if I buy another game with out her permission I will be in the dog house for a week, and that is if I am lucky.

pulled this off the steam description. hopefully ubisoft will remove this soon seeing as they are integrating steamworks into their games, i think.

$1 to even play this game for 30 days is cheaper than renting it at blockbusters...

It's a $1...why would she protest?

Was about to ask the same question. Shipping would probably kill the deal. :lol

Btw Steamworks available w/PC copy?

Nope, Steamworks isn't available. It's using Ubisoft's DRM that requires constant internet connection.

Yes, that's the likely scenario. You need to sign in to play the title, so they'll just deactivate every key that was bought during this time period.

They COULD do this but I don't know if it's likely. Certainly would be the first time I heard of a digital download store canceling a purchase on a pricing error.

It's the princible of the thing man.

You are asking this to a guy that learned the Joy of a steam sale this summer, well he let it go to his head and his wife let her foot go to my ass over and over again. So I rather not risk pissing her off again.

You've clearly never encountered a woman's fury. I bet this guy is shitting his pants just thinking about other people buying $1 copies of this games, cold sweats and the standing of his neck hairs and everything. He'll never buy this game, ever.
