Splinter Cell PC Gold

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell for the PC Has Gone Gold is the press release announcing the PC version of the stealthy third-person Tom Clancy shooter is complete and off to duplication. The exact in-store date is uncertain at this time, it is listed in the release as mid-February. The announcement is accompanied by a batch of new screenshots, and here are some details from the release on the game's storyline: "You are Sam Fisher. A lone shadow-operative in a world where lost seconds can allow terrorist plans to become deadly reality. You operate in the heart of hostile territory. Spy. Steal. Destroy. Assassinate. Just don't ever be seen. Because when the stakes are this high, the choice between leaving a witness or a corpse is no choice at all. When two CIA agents mysteriously vanish in the former Soviet republic of Georgia, the NSA's secret sub agency, Third Echelon, deploys Sam Fisher--its most capable splinter cell operative--to recover them. Fisher soon uncovers a deeper conspiracy: a plot that threatens to destabilize the world order and spark nuclear conflict."

Well, the "no sales tax" is not a 100% exact thing.

However, at least with how things are right now, you do not pay sales tax unless you order from a state that these companies have headquarters in. The rules are slightly different from site to site...

Living in California, neither Gamestop nor EBGames charge sales tax on my (internet) orders. However, California makes it a bit harder to shop for hardware items; some days, I swear that every retailer is within the state.

It is not a huge thing, but it does add up here and there (it would cost me *more* to purchase Splinter Cell locally, now that the shipping is free) and it can have a bigger impact on a more expensive item. If I order $2,000 worth of hardware, I can "save" $165 (8.25% sales tax.)

Smirking at the game release schedules,
