MrJames Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 This is coming out on 9/16 with some exclusive maps for Splinter Cell and GR:IT not to mention a demo of Rainbow Six 3. I'll be spending $10 on it. http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/238778.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Whoa, these aren't available as DLC?! Not even as paid DLC? Huh. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baiter Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 I'm little baffled here myself. :cry: And I'm guessing since it's not DLC the GR maps aren't live enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJames Posted September 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Perhaps the levels/maps are time exclusive and we'll see them as DLC later in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Merrick Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 What would happen if I have this disc with the new GRIT maps and want to host a game? Would everyone who plays have to have the disc as well? I'm definitely getting this either way though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Jason, maybe they'll treat it like the unlocked maps in the original GRIT. The person with the map can host the game and you can play as long as he or she is hosting. Of course, that would suggest that these maps are sitting on every copy of GRIT, waiting to be unlocked. Haven't heard of that approach before. This is just speculation. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 And now it seems to be a pre-order bonus for RS3 as well. http://xbox.ign.com/articles/437/437804p1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bryan Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Looking good. These are both sure pick-ups for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant1 Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 so if i do not have the full grit disc can i get on-line with this demo. i love ghost recon but could not justify grit as my live time is almost non existent lately. but for 10$ i'm in.

MrJames Posted September 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 So does the $10 go towards the RS3 price with the free demo disc as incentive to preorder? EB had it listed as a $10 stand alone demo yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam P Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 I'll get it for the SC levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Originally posted by Sam P@Sep 12 2003, 07:34 PMI'll get it for the SC levels. You might want to hold off if that's the only reason you're buying it, unless of course you don't have Live. Splinter Cell Levels Not Pre-Order Exclusive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFo Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Buck; Thanks a bunch for that update. I didn't quite believe that the new levels would only be available through the pre-order offer, but it's nice to see a more official confirmation of the news. One thing caught my eye in that article. There are four new levels for Splinter Cell? Is this true? I was led to believe that there were only two new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Merrick Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 According to the cover art of the demo, there are "exclusive new missions" for both GRIT and Splinter Cell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJames Posted September 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Perhaps just exclusive for period of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlot Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 I stopped by EB to grab the disc, but they hadn't come in yet. So I was going to pre-order RS3, when the clerk said I could buy the demo for $10, then show my reciept when I purchase RS3 to get $15 off. [EDIT] To answer MrJames question below, yes, you save $5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldorado Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Does anyone know if you can get on Live with the demo disc? Or are they all single player? Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJames Posted September 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 A 9/21 ship date now at EB. I think Ubi has a release date set to 9/22 so hopefully there will be no more dates pushed back by EB. http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/default.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishepa Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 Damn, I was looking forward to getting it today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Merrick Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 I feel the same way Paul... I wish they would have worked out the dates before posting anything! Once I get excited about something, I have a very hard time waiting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishepa Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 I believe this is supposed to come out today. Any word? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJames Posted September 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 EB date now at 9/22. Should've figured since nothing ships on Sunday :roll:. I called my local store and he said nothing came in today, try back tomorrow. This will kinda suck if I get both the demo disc and Socom II Beta on the same day. I was hoping for a few days in between to give me time to play with both. Yeah I know, poor me. :green: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Merrick Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 I just called several EB stores and Gamestops and no one has them yet, one GameStop said "later next week"... which better not be true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
