Silent Hunter 3

OK, don't flame me, I know the game isn't released for another week. I was reading the Nforce Forums, and it looks as though this game may need product activation. They also seem to think it uses Starforce (At least the German version). I would find this very surprising, seeing as the game is a Ubisoft title. Does anyone know anything regarding these 2 issues?

When i read the thread on the nforce forum, i come to the conclusion, SILENT HUNTER III will be protected with Securom or Safedisc.

That's what I thought. I can't see this activation thing being true either. Ubisoft have never used it before. If it is true, then it's probably just a required keycode, and not a software Trust system, as they take a lot of work to set up.

I watched the trailers. It's a very nice game. I think i will buy it, but i want to play a demo before. I hope there will be a demo available soon.
Release date is 15th March 2005 (US) / 18th March 2005 (EUROPE).

It does look like the Retail is Starforce3 (At least German). If that goes for the UK version as well, then count me out. Does this mean that Splinter Cell-Chaos Theory will also use Starforce3. I mean I can understand developers wanting to protect their games, but SF is a real git. If it gets on my machine, I can no longer capture Video without stuttering. I even installed a demo the other day, not realising it was SF. I do have an Image file, which I update with Acronis, but it's still something that shouldn't be happening.

The German retail release on DVD has definitely Starforce 3.7
