I'm going to pre-order this at Best Buy, in order to get the free 1250 points card ($20 value, here in Canada.) I don't know if I'll get the Collector's Edition, because I'm not sure if I want the extra disc, but we'll see.

So the Xbox 360 version comes out on the 17th, and the PS2, Xbox, and PC versions come out on the 25th? What's up with that?
I was planning on buying the PC version, I hate waiting longer

It looks like some websites (like Amazon and ToysRUs) have something called the "gold key promo." Any idea what that is? Is it something you can't get if you just buy it a store?

I'm not down for the $70 though. That is how they hook people on paying $70 and then next gen that will be the cost of a regular title.

The splinter cell series is my favorite of all time but $70 for that? No thanks. I bought Chaos Theory CE used from someone for $35 and it looked brand new a few weeks after it came out and was retailing for $59.99. It wasn't even a great CE (which most aren't) Sorry Ubisoft, I love splinter cell and I want to support you for making great games but I'm broke! I will probably get the regular edition if I can get a good price on it.

It's a third person stealth game. Slower pace than your typical shooter. Lots of cool gadgets to use, sticky cameras, air foil and electric shock rounds. Graphics are always top notch. Some missions allow you to run and gun but most require creeping through shadows and avoiding conflicts. I never played the multi-player much but I've heard good things about it. They have a multi-player demo up on the marketplace now for the 360 version. I'd probably get this one but my gaming plate is pretty full with GOW and COD3 just around the corner.

I'm not that good at stealth games and although I had one Spilnter Cell game before on XBOX I couldn't get into it. Not that it wasn't good and didn't look great, but because my skills were lacking. Either way I've always head nothing but good about this series.
This new game does look Kick Ass and I may even pick it up.

The only cave in Chaos Theory that I remember is the cave at the very beginning of the first mission. You must really suck if you could not get past the first 10 minutes of the game.

I coulda played it but I didn't try that hard. I bought it cheap and used so I didn't dedicate myself.
