Assassin's Creed 2 PC release date and specs revealed

Better late than never, right?

The release date for the PC version of Assassin's Creed 2 has been revealed to be March 16, and the game will come prepacked with the two DLC's that the console versions are going to get soon. Apparently there is also something special in store for the digital only "Black Edition", but at this point no one seems to know what that special something actually is. I guess we'll have to wait and see. The regular version will retail for $59.99, and the Black Edition will be $64.99

I own the game on Xbox360, but haven't had the time to even touch it yet. Depending on what the special sauce in Black Edition is, it's quite possible that I may even get PC version and play that first. It comes with the DLC after all. But it all depends. If it's some dumb costume for Ezio, then no thank you Ubisoft. I can't actually think of anything meaningful that would be worth the extra dough, so surprise me!

You know, if the special thing would turn out to be a playable demo of Beyond Good & Evil 2, I'd instantly buy the Black Edition. Just saying.
