by reading the info on the guide it's not a book that comes with the guide it's just extra pages built into the guide with art and some interviews in it, so it will most likely be different info.

it's downloadable content, generally these are addons for the game and since Ubi has said they eventually plan on making the 3 special edition map's available to all these will most likely go up for sale on Xbox live or PSN as a DLC at some point after release.

why make gamedevelopers DLC? if its worth to download why didn't they put it in de final game?

it is in the final game as a perk to those you buy either the White, Master or Black editions of the game, they are offering it later at a price to the people who want the map's but didn't want to pay for a special editions.

your complaining that they put them in as a DLC to all later but Ubi could of just left it so no1 without the special editions ever got them.

so it's all about money than...

not really it's all about making an in game reward for taking the collectors editions (most firms do this) it is very rare that firms actually ever make this content available to people without the collectors ed so really they are putting it there to allow every1 a chance to play those parts of the game it's not as if they are holding you at gun point and telling you that you have to buy it.

they even say it's not important to the story so it's not as if you are missing something important if you choose not to get it.

then I have to buy MS points (just pre-orderd the normal editon )

you also have to wait until they decide to publicly release them, as all they have said is it will be some time after launch, it could be anything from day's to months.

It's really all about curbing used game sales, which comes back to money. There's nothing wrong with wanting to get paid for your work.

Used game sales in a way are bad as nothing from the second sale goes to the developer, everything above what the shop paid for the game is pure profit for the shop. this is one of the main reasons PC game's use CD-key's and such as the stores reselling games are basically stealing money from the people who make games. (to be honest I don't see how it is any different to piracy as every time that game is resold the firms making the game get nothing and the copyrights aren't paid)

I never resell my games or buy them used (unless you cant get them new anymore). But reselling games differs from piracy because it is our right to resell our property, and I wouldn't want to lose that, even if I don't choose to do so with my video games.

Several game firms are actually fighting to make the second hand games trade illegal.

do yuu need xbox live to download the 2 bonus quests w/ the MAE...Cuz it saus yuu get sum kinda code..so will yu need xbox live to download it?.

it's possible you will need live there is no information saying how you get the map's.

Guys i need som help i ordered AC2 black edition from play.com and was wondering if i get ot on the day of release i live in Norway and it will be tolled i think.

didn't I already answer that question?

Hey guys, im new here, but not to ubi forums...

I think the game already has the levels in it.. the only thing left is to unlock them with codes...
Like with Tom Clancy's Hawx.
So most likely its just gonna be a key of some kind you have to download.

Just changed my shipping to overnight Hell Yes!
