What's that supposed to mean in this joystiq post. Specifically the bit about what Ubisoft have "confirmed" about the flag towards the bottom of the post...? o.0

If you look at the flag thats layed flat in the post its slightly off colour,
faded & oldish looking as well as looking like its actually made like a flag
should be made. The one in the collectors edition looks like thinner
material is used to make it & its brighter in color,not as dull or aged looking.
My guess is the flag thats laying flat is a press item so its made a little
fancier than normal as with all things press related
Just a guess & an opinion

Is the Freedom edition better value because less will be issued ?

I'll give a mixed answer. The freedom edition is a better value by far over the US Limited Edition. However, from what I have read thus far the US Limited Edition will be even more limited in numbers produced than the UK Freedom edition. I'd still say go for the Freedom edition though.

better value because it has washington's journal, it have an exclusive lithograph and a more exclusive looking packaging. for american limited, I could care less about the flag or even if they add a replica of the declaration of independence... it is a very dissappointing edition.

The picture of that flag is from a flag "kit" that was sent to a magazine director/writer/whatever as a gift from Ubisoft. It is a high quality "thick thread" type of flag. Rolled up/folded up I bet it would occupy a heft amount of space. . . It was shown to come to that guy in a decent sized wooden case. So to save on space I am sure that the north American limited edition will come with a flag but it will be a much thinner crappier quality one, which Ubisoft has already confirmed. That is, Ubisoft has confirmed that the nice quality flag "is not the same type of flag" in the CE.

This is what I'm referencing

Thanks for clearing that up! That was exactly what I thought it meant. I had already seen that article with the press box. That flag looks awesome. I was hoping that the one with the CE was the same... I am no longer interested in anything from this CE... Shame there wasn't more. Was expecting something better for the NA CE! >.<

Feel gutted for you guys. Ubishaft did you over again! >.<

Yeah, I couldn't agree more. I was refreshing search results all day long hoping to see an updated article to find that Ubisoft had finally released another CE that was "staggerly amazing" (or whatever Ubisoft had said it would be) but alas. . . it is past 5:00 eastern time here in the States. I believe you said it the best Cosmic, Ubisoft did US over again. hehe The States win some we loose some but it seems to be a reoccurring trend with the Assassin's Creed CE's atleast. Ah well. I don't even want the US A.C. CE at all.
