Well I went ahead and sprung for it

I prepaid steam the money to get AC:BH and to get the digital deluxe edition for free. I finished ACII last night and can safely say, outside my previous grievances, it was a good game. Good enough to justify getting the sequel. In addition I finally get to play around in multiplayer mode. Knowing my luck, I'll be the standing target.

EDIT: I want to also add that I am going to see about posting some of my assassinations from ACII on a youtube account I have later.  Primarily the Assassination side missions. And we will let you decide how much I suck!
