Adventure Forums - Gametap on the cheap, and in Canada!

This came across the Uru Live forums recently. The message is geared to Uru fans, but the news is good for everyone!

Dear Myst Online: Uru Live fans,

GameTap is celebrating its first birthday on October 17, and they just made two big announcements which should make many of you happy even though neither one specifically involves Uru Live:

1) GameTap will officially launch in Canada on October 17th. This is the first step in GameTap’s international expansion and means that our Canadian friends can sign up for GameTap beginning October 17th to take advantage of everything that GameTap has to offer while awaiting the launch of Uru Live.

2) As part of the GameTap birthday celebration, a very special offer has been announced, but it is only valid until October 22. Anyone who signs up for 1 full year of GameTap between now and October 22nd will receive their 12 month package at 50% off the regular price. That means you get 12 full months of GameTap for only $59.40 compared to the regular cost of $119.40. That brings your monthly cost down from $9.95 to $4.95.

That’s obviously a huge savings and the $60 price gives you 12 months of over 700 of the greatest video games of all time plus all-new GameTap Originals like Sam & Max: Season 1 (launching on Oct. 17) and Myst Online (launching this holiday season) for less than the cost of one new next generation console game. This limited time offer is a great option for those of you who are on tight budgets and are going to sign-up for Myst Online but were going to wait until it actually launches. Sign-up now and you’ll save 50% off your entire first year of GameTap and be sure to use this special Uru Live link to let GameTap know you’re signing up because of Uru and click on any of the “sign up” now links on GameTap.com.

Please note this offer is also valid for those of you who are already GameTap subscribers. Just click the Uru Live link to show your support and then sign-in at the members tab on the top right of the GameTap homepage. You’ll see the special $4.95 annual rate and once you select it you’ll automatically be transferred to that offer at the end of the month.

It would really send another strong message to GameTap if a lot of you signed up for the special offer using the special Uru Live link. As always, thank you for your continued support.

Note: This offer is only valid in the United States and Canada as GameTap is not currently available in other countries.
