This needs more Splinter Cell. Any chance of getting Splinter Cell:Chaos Theory on here?? I loved that game and, to be honest, I want a legit copy.

I stayed up, following twitter and the forums, nothing happened. Went to sleep, went to work. Got bored at work and checked this place again (some kind of addiction I guess).
Ubisoft are getting back in my good books. They certainly earn points for being convinced to not go with any regional restrictions and price differences here.
Admittedly, it's probably a more of their old stuff I'm more interested in, but there games are a very good start.

This was taken from a different forum:

I don't know if this will be the Ubisoft weekend deal or not, but a new entry popped up in the .blob:
Ubisoft Classics Pack - $9.99
- Dark Messiah: Might and Magic (normally $9.99)
- Far Cry (normally $9.99)
- Beyond Good and Evil (normally $9.99)
- IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946 (normally $9.99)
So it's like a 75% off pack?

Ouch!

75% off of old games in the same week as Ubisoft joins GOG?! seems suspicious to me. You can't tempt me steam, even if i had any money.

Obviously Valve is trying to make a dent on GOG's after release sales. Doesn't affect me but I'm sure there are people who are tempted to buy there instead of here now due to the offer.

I hope theyre competing with GOG honestly, that would be hilarious.

HoMaM series = instabuy even although I own them already all (except the very first one), I hope that HoMaM II:PoL won't crash as often as my retail does (if it will arrive here)
Prince of Persia = instabuy
Rainbow six also instabuy
Man, I wonder if my salary will be enough for those, not to mention I did not buy Cannon fodder and another games yet.

I don't like the new pricing!
Just thought I'd share that bit of information.
I understand that Ubisoft want to make some money, but charge is almost double that of normal GOG.com games.

Mmmm... no. In GOG there are 6$ games and 10$ games, that's all. And unlike Steam, 10$ are 10$, not 15€

Mentalepsy: They own the rights to the Might & Magic name, which was previously owned by 3DO, and before that by New World Computing (the developers of the M&M series, who became part of 3DO) - but, I'm not sure if they own the rights to the old M&M games specifically. I'd love to see them here.
Ubisoft, I think, also bought out SSI, publishers of the Gold Box games. If they own the rights to those, we might see them here as well.

Aah I see. So there's hope for M&M then! :-D

GOG == DRM free. Can Steam beat that? ;-)

Wow... I've never thought Far Cry could ever look dated...

Competition is good. Means we get lower prices. :D

It worked with Arx Fatalis, no?

I think 10$ is more than justified (at least for BG&E and PoP) if you consider what you get in addition to the steam version:
-No DRM
-Soundtrack
-Artwork
No DRM alone would make it worthwhile for me, but we get the soundtracks and artworks, too. Sure these are little things, but they go a long way in convincing me that GoG really care about the games and gaming culture and not only my cash.
