No Splinter Cell Demo in AC2 Retail Box

UbiSoft: “We’ve seen much speculation about the Splinter Cell Conviction leaflet that is inserted in the US version of the Assassin’s Creed II game box and received many questions about what the code in this leaflet unlocks. Without revealing specifics, we can confirm that the download you get is NOT the Splinter Cell Conviction demo, contrary to some of the rumors out there. Any information you’ve seen or read suggesting otherwise is unfounded and should be considered as pure speculation.”

Great podcast guys! I was listening to this after I posted some of my thoughts on Dragon Age. I just kicked my game down to casual last night and instantly started to enjoy it more as well.

Keep up the good work on the podcast!

Listened during work today. Great job, as usual!
