The four games that will cost only $1 for their respective days are:

EDIT - Enter the coupo code "10THANKYOU" before purchasing for 90c games ;)
thanks to TheAviator1992 for the code!

GOt PS3 version of Ghost Recon: FS and after launching game it has to log on to the ubisoft (uplay) servers = ghey. The reason I got the PS3 version is because I didn't want that BS.

tebbybabes on 16/08/2012 - 10:55 ¶Yep, I have to echo Domingo about 'From Dust' being quite short. The single player is almost like just a tutorial. Still, I enjoyed it. And it's only a dollar. :)
bigosmallo on 16/08/2012 - 08:13 ¶Just remember you need to download them within 30 days, or at least that's how it worked back when the website glitched and gave everyone free games.
+2 votesnoelstewartx on 16/08/2012 - 09:56 ¶Still the case (unless you buy the extended download service)
"If your order contains downloadable software and you have not purchased our Extended Download Service (EDS), you have 30 days to download your purchase. After you download we suggest you save a copy of the downloaded file on an external drive, CD, DVD, or some other storage medium in the event you have computer problems or the downloaded file becomes damaged or corrupt."- +2 votestebbybabes on 16/08/2012 - 21:39 ¶
I've been trying to chase up more info about this 30 day limit and haven't found any word on it on the email receipt that they sent me, nor in the instructions for downloading and installing the game.
Considering this, I've been trying to find official info on how to save the installer files to media but haven't found any instructions on doing so.
Can any of you folks point me in the right direction?

I just tried with PayPal got that error tried with card got the errror then tried with bpay and got the error. Probably a catch 22 of the site that you can only buy the $1 game if you add another game to cart at the same time as $1 is probably too little for their payment system to process. Sucks because I wanted hawx 2. Reply back if you find a solution.
Think we might have to neg this deal, doesn't work for Australians. I tried on day 1 to get hawx for $1 and got payment authorization failed. Today I wanted prince of Persia so created a brand new uplay account and all 3 payment methods gave that message still. Don't understand how bpay could fail to authorize =/

Whoa, don't neg.
Worked fine for me, I've purchased both games now using Paypal.
Have you guys tried my solutions below?Make sure if credit card that your Ubi store account has the same address as your CC.
If Paypal make sure the email address you signed up with Ubi is the same as the one registered in Paypal
Shouldn't have any issues after that… hopefully…
Nice deal. Still remember the Store Glitch deal from last time :) http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/41279?page=8

Am I doing something wrong or is Anno 2070 not quite 75% off?

great post - not sure how much i'll play the others, but definitely want Driver SF. At $1 i'll grab them all. Thanks.
IsometricBacon on 16/08/2012 - 12:11 ¶Driver San Francisco is an amazing game, which is even more amazing at $1.
Great deal.

at least they fixed the remote trojan-type situation late july

- ilikebargains on 16/08/2012 - 13:26 ¶
so to backup this game for use if i need to re-install windows, i just backup the game directory once installed? then copy it back to the same directory if i reformat?
+13 votesTheAviator1992 on 16/08/2012 - 17:07 ¶Folks, just remember to enter the coupon code "10THANKYOU" before purchasing. Instead of paying $1 for HAWX, I paid just 90c! True OzBargainer if you ask me :P
Thanks OP for letting us know about this deal. Might be a good deal to add the coupon code to the top so people know about it :)
- ilikebargains on 16/08/2012 - 17:10 ¶
TOO LATE!
does that code apply to the others as well? and how did you get it?
- +1 voteTheAviator1992 on 16/08/2012 - 17:15 ¶
TheAviator has his ways :P
Nah just found it online. Not sure if it applies to others but all I bought was HAWX and if it applied on something cheap like that would probably apply on the more expensive games too. Looking forward to using it for the next few games as well :)
- noelstewartx on 17/08/2012 - 09:15 ¶
Thank you! Used it today for "From Dust".
Yeah, sure it is a terrible PC port but at 90c you can't go wrong.

Ummm… I don't think it will be, however if it does work on steam let me know!
High_Point on 17/08/2012 - 10:51 ¶hmmm i'm getting server error after trying to enter my payment details, will try again later.
- noelstewartx on 17/08/2012 - 11:19 ¶
Server error (Crash?) or Payment error? (Refused transaction?)
If server, try again later
If payment - Make sure if credit card that your Ubi store account has the same address as your CC.
If Paypal make sure the email address you signed up with Ubi is the same as the one registered in Paypal
Shouldn't have any issues after that… hopefully…:)
- High_Point on 17/08/2012 - 12:09 ¶
nope, just comes up with server error, tried using a different browser and that didn't work, wondering if i should try using another account.
edit: just found some additional lines of text that were colored white.. (great site design there)

You trying from work? Wondering if it is blocked… If not…Ahh…. ok…. umm…
OH! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT BEHIND YOU!?!?
runs away - High_Point on 17/08/2012 - 12:15 ¶
Funny thing is that it worked yesterday.
Made a new account and it worked. must have been something to do with my the saved payment details.
- noelstewartx on 17/08/2012 - 11:57 ¶
Being $1 I'm sure you can only add 1 to your basket.
You could try another purchase after making the first purchase? Or create yourself X number of Ubi accounts.
:P
leonheart1 on 17/08/2012 - 11:42 ¶I keep getting:
Payment Authorisation Failed
I've tried paypal and CC to no avail.
God, even their store is a PITA.- leonheart1 on 17/08/2012 - 13:33 ¶
Yeah, everything matches but it still doesn't work.
I've sent them a message through the site though so hopefully they'll fix it before the deal expires. - +1 vote
I have tried changing all the details on my account to match my debit card (they already did anyway) - I tried setting my city to my suburb, tried creating an entirely new ubi account with the same email as my paypal. Still rejects card, paypal & even BPAY most confusingly. How can BPAY authorisation fail ????
Sent support an email but doubt they will reply, such a broken storefront.

grabbed From Dust now too, 90c well spent - although i could have bought at least two full priced chuppa chups for that so it makes you think.
marcel woods on 17/08/2012 - 14:14 ¶I also bought Assassin's Creed: Revelations for $13.50 after the discount code, cheapest I could find. Or I just got ripped off? My first post :) Thanks
mustafansu on 17/08/2012 - 15:23 ¶I bought yesterday H.A.W.X 2 and today from dust, paid with paypal, but havent got anything yet, both times it has mentioned, you will receive an email shortly with information. The money also hasnt been deducted from paypal. WTH
- tebbybabes on 17/08/2012 - 20:34 ¶
I managed to receive my email less than 2 minutes after I paid. Hope your issue gets sorted out.

Can OP or a moderator/admin please change the deal URL to this:
http://newsletter.ubisoft.com/en-au/2012/08/09_Uplay/09_Upla... For everyone buying From Dust, this is a must:
http://blog.gib.me/2011/08/18/from-dust-startup-hook/Removes the 30fps limit and increases it to 120. The game feels so much better. Might even be worth adding to OP since so many people are commenting that they bought it ;)
- leonheart1 on 18/08/2012 - 01:06 ¶
Thanks for that.
Is there anything that fixes the horrible controls? It's like trying to play snake with a mouse.
Or is using a controller the only option?
spuddy9595 on 18/08/2012 - 08:16 ¶Anyone know if the 30 day download time is right? I can't see anything on the website or the email for my order about it
Thanks
If anyone want's to download and install the latest patch for Silent Hunter 5 v1.2 (Collector's Edition), see the link to download: http://www.gamefront.com/files/16436479/Silent_Hunter_5_v1_2...
+2 votesFor those interested in buying Might and Magic Heroes VI you might want to use a VPN or something to access the Ubisoft EMEA store. I'm overseas at the moment and the link defaulted to that store and showed that the game is only 9 Euro as opposed to $20.98 AUD.
In addition, the 10THANKYOU coupon code also works, so I managed to checkout the game for 8.10 Euro which according to Google is around $9.60 AUD. I used my 28 Degrees Mastercard which means no foreign exchange bank charge, either way I think you are still much better off than $20.98 that you pay on the AU store.
Guys, I've never used the Uplay client before…if I format my computer, will they let me download it again for free or will I have to buy it again?
Another thing, once downloaded, is there a file we can burn on a disc so that if we reformat later on, we can just install from the disc instead of waiting to download the whole thing again?
- bigosmallo on 18/08/2012 - 12:09 ¶
From my experience in the past what you downloaded was basically what you would get on a disc if you bought it from a shop. So definitely possible to backup.
But with the new client I'm not sure how it works.
- +1 vote
Yes, if you reformat you will still be able to download it again as they are purchased onto your Uplay account, this is the same with Steam and Origin. Also you can login to your Uplay account on a different pc's and install the games there too. As for burning the files on to a disc not sure how to do that, probably can be done.
- +1 voteilikebargains on 18/08/2012 - 18:16 ¶
that's not correct according to their site, can you site a link to your reply? Their site says there are 30 days to download the file then you're on your own. Or you can purchase the extended download service but even that tops out at 2 years anyway. So yes, back up your files.
