    Stealthy Tom Clancy action on sale this week

    This title from the Must Have Games 2012 promotion is featured as Deal of the Week for the very first time. The marketplace might not have been updated with the discounted price yet, so please confirm before purchasing.

    The benchmark of action stealth games on console is available for the first time on W7 phones.
    **Slide to play: “Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction looks and plays great, and it's rare that we see such a sophisticated stealth game on this platform.”
    Unleash the ferocious skills of renegade agent Sam Fisher.
    Play as Sam Fisher, a highly skilled Special Forces operative and fight a corrupted secret agency to get your daughter back. Follow a trail of intrigue that leads from Iraq to a high-security building in Washington.

    You have to print it out, put it in an envelope then send it to MS. They will then send you back a scratch card, the code that will be revealed needs to be entered on xbox.com, after that you have to reboot your cellphone and the game should download. Good luck !

    haha actually that isn't true. On some phones, you can take a picture of this and it will take you right to the download link.

    You liar:O You need to grab a brush and some black paint and exacly paint it on a A1 paper. Then light it on fire and from the ashes you will get a little something you can put in your phone and you're ready to play.

    Holy crap, that was the best thing I read in a while! It would be awesome if everyone just went with the flow and he actually did it, but of course TA members always have to help other out. Damn you nice people!

    something that works for me (from time to time) is rebooting the phone... when i see no price update, i just turn it off, and then on... and then i get the correct pricing...

    havent tried it, cause im not interested in the game though...

    Looks like Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (WP) is the last Must Have Game to be in line for a sale/discount. I expect that we see it by the end of August. Will definitely check out splinter cell.

    I'm still seeing $5 as well but oh well I'll wait I am at work and I will probably have to hook this up to my computer to get it to download.

    I haven't heard good things about this game. Don't know if I should download it or not.
    Jump right out of a creek!

    so the ratio isn't too high. has anyone completed this and think it's a decently easy game to complete?
  • Posted on 18 July 12 at 22:36
    I've printed out the page and put it in an envelope but, I don't have the mailing address. Could someone let me know what it is, please?

    How long do they take to mail the code? It's just, this deal is only on for a week and I'm fairly interested in taking up the offer.

    I'm quite surprised at the new way they are doing this though, I thought they had a good system going where you could just buy it straight from the phone. I guess there have been some issues and they've had to resort to this for the time being. I hope it gets fixed soon!
