Rumor: Splinter Cell: Conviction demo voucher in Xbox 360 Assassin's Creed II
by David Hinkle 
{ Nov 16th 2009 at 12:40PM } 
One user over at NeoGAF claims a copy of Assassin's Creed II on Xbox 360 came with said insert, while further evidence from HipHopGamer shows what appears to be the alleged insert (it's since been removed from the original video; but Kouppa-Network Live still has it up). Logic points to the demo being the same portion of gameplay we checked out back at E3, though there's no evidence to verify that.
We've contacted Ubisoft for comment and will update this post when we hear back.

So does this mean that we can expect a demo for the masses to hit soon?

@ Sgt_Quackers
LOL!

wrong reply....

I want this demo more than Assassin's Creed II. Does this make me a bad person?
D-5 @ Nov 16th 2009 1:08PM
Nah, the only bad people in this world are those who love the friggin' ugly Altaire pose with his arms outstretched, ready to give a hug.
Sgt_Quackers @ Nov 16th 2009 1:18PM
No, you're not a bad person. Horses are bad people.

Erm...I believe his name is Ezio Auditore di Firenze. Altaïr was the character from the first game.
I generally try to make sure that my insults are factually correct before posting them, but that's just how I roll.

I agree with the Jedi. Odd....
MystileArmor @ Nov 16th 2009 1:40PM
People who don't like chokolat pooding are bad people!
D-5 @ Nov 16th 2009 2:16PM
You got me there. I have no excuse except I'm not really a follower of the series (The first is still sitting on my shelf shrink-wrapped). I only follow the news.
todd @ Nov 16th 2009 2:39PM
Ditto.
Rask @ Nov 16th 2009 12:55PM
I gots my AC2 pre-order already. Tomorrow at 8AM I can go pick it up. I was torn between the PS3 and 360 version(PSP tie-in with Bloodlines and all) but I went with the 360 version in the end anyways.
This makes me quite happy.
LiqwidZero @ Nov 16th 2009 1:02PM
I'll be getting mine at our Gamestop's mid-night launch, tonight!
DamonTheMoney @ Nov 16th 2009 12:57PM
wow, HipHopGamer made it to Joystiq.
hmm...
tmacairjordan87 @ Nov 16th 2009 12:59PM
I'm really hoping it's true, cause it would be a nice little extra for buying the 360 version and a demo to go along with god of war 3 from the collection. Tomorrow will be a busy day.

The Bodyguard @ Nov 16th 2009 1:06PM
Oh Man, I wish I could pick this up now.
Filthy Assistant @ Nov 16th 2009 1:21PM
Any news on if this comes with the limited edition?
Got dat shit locked up tite for a while, gonna pick it up tonight at midnight. woot.
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 16th 2009 1:32PM
This will keep ACII PS3 from steamrolling the 360 version...
Filthy Assistant @ Nov 16th 2009 1:37PM
Why would it anyway? Not trolling, serious. Is there anything particularly better about the PS3 version? I'm getting it on 360 because I still have the LE of the first one and they'll look nice together.
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 16th 2009 1:45PM
I thought the original sold better on the PS3, actually.
And nearly all the advertisements have headlined the PS3 version.
And it's got connectivity with Bloodlines.
D-5 @ Nov 16th 2009 2:18PM
The few AC2 commercials I've seen are PS3-specific, for some reason.
Filthy Assistant @ Nov 16th 2009 2:38PM
I haven't seen any commercials for it, but that is odd. I don't really give a crap about Bloodlines, though.
instant sales @ Nov 16th 2009 1:43PM
haha.. great demo.
CloudStrife @ Nov 16th 2009 1:45PM
Ah crap. Just pre-ordered Left for Dead 2 over Assassin's Creed 2. Took a while to decide which one I wanted more. If this is true, I will be gutted.
Ben! @ Nov 16th 2009 2:48PM
Solution: don't fucking pre-order games unless there's some great little pack-in. I'm reasonably sure (read: positive) that you'll be able to find this on Tuesday (or Wednesday, or Thursday, or Friday) without any trouble.
D-5 @ Nov 16th 2009 2:59PM
I never understood pre-ordering the "big" titles. There are always copies whenever I walk into the large chains (Best Buy, Futureshop, etc.) on scheduled release day. And there always seem to be an abundance of the "limited" special editions. Just today, I saw a stack of the "goggle" versions of MW2, Batarang 360 versions of AA and the Halo 3 Helmet editions at my next door Futureshop.
K1LLER HORNET @ Nov 16th 2009 3:12PM
@ D-5
I pre-order games so i don't have to go to the shop on launch day - it gets delivered to my door soon after i wake up (sometimes a day or two earlier).
MikeO. @ Nov 17th 2009 1:33PM
D-5,
Where I live, Gamestop doesn't get but maybe 1 or 2 copies of a game UNLESS it's preordered. They got 10 copies of Dragon Age, 8 of them were preorders. If I don't preorder, I run the chance of never getting the game unless I buy off of eBay.
And we don't have any local Circuit City, Best Buy, Toys 'R Us or any of those other stores to buy games from. Gamestop and Wal-Mart are the only places in my city that sell games, period.
adamgreeney @ Nov 16th 2009 1:57PM
I ordered the PS3 collectors edition. . . God Damnit.
M.Garvey @ Nov 16th 2009 2:40PM
I find myself placed with a dilemma now. I preordered the PS3 version because of the compatability with the PSP, and now I hear about this. Do I try and switch to the 360 version, or do I just say screw it and hope for a demo on Live in a couple of months. I really wish I had known about this sooner so that I could've made a better purchase decision.
Orchard Pear @ Nov 16th 2009 3:25PM
You keep your PS3 reservation, of course.
The Demo will be up on live eventually, and you get to keep connectivity with the PSP game.
:)
M.Garvey @ Nov 16th 2009 4:53PM
That definitely sounds like a plan I can stand by!
K1LLER HORNET @ Nov 16th 2009 3:10PM
Torrents FTW!!!
The Swedish Chief @ Nov 16th 2009 3:33PM
You, sir, are a bastard.
K1LLER HORNET @ Nov 16th 2009 4:19PM
@ The Swedish Chief
For what?
Not wanting Assassins Creed 2, but wanting the demo?
If so, then just STFU.
Tyler @ Nov 16th 2009 3:24PM
Not a demo. Just ringtones and wallpaper for your computer.
josh @ Nov 16th 2009 4:34PM
THE FREE OFFER IS JUST RINGTONE AND WALLPAPERS
Pablo @ Nov 16th 2009 4:43PM
Cool, new splinter cell

some of you guys probably get ripped off at car dealerships, read the (not so) fine print.
aacman007 @ Nov 16th 2009 6:33PM
I can confirm this. I just opened my AC2, it's in there.
Jesus (PSN: Luttdawg) @ Nov 16th 2009 8:23PM
Oh man, sucks that it isn't a demo.
ilikemonkeys @ Nov 16th 2009 10:53PM
I work at EB Games and we have those vouchers... not for the Splinter cell demo. It's just got a code for some extra content on the Splinter Cell website. Sorry to disappoint.
