Billy Joel colored my opinion of discount racks from a very early age. When he sang that if he didn’t stay relevant, “I get put in the back in the discount rack,” teenaged Dave felt terrible that his album might be marked down. But I’ve reconciled my aversion to discounts and try never to buy games at full price. Because no sooner than you do, something like this happens: Ubisoft is having a sitewide sale with many games as much as 80% off.
If you want to take advantage of the sale, my advice is to do some comparison shopping, because sale prices at Ubisoft are often only on par with what you can find next door at sites like Amazon. Here are some of the deals that I found to be cheaper than what I could find elsewhere:
- Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time: $2 (80% off)
- Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege: $8 (60% off)
- Tom Clancy’s The Division 2: $9 (70% off)
- Rayman Legends: $7.50 (75% off)
- Anno 1800 Deluxe Pack: $5 (50% off)
