    So glad to hear it! I used my grandma's work computer to play the first Rayman games. I always get nostalgic when I think about it.
    I hope Rayman Origins will bring back some of that magic. Looking forward to it. :)

    I'm not too worry since there are plenty of gaming to be done from now and then. Still playing catch up with my older games.

    I was a huge fan of Rayman when I was younger. Loved the original rayman on the PS1. The fact that it will DRM free is a bonus, makes me want to buy it just to support DRM free games.

    It basically means there won't be any (or minimal) security attached to starting up or playing the game. For instance, some games with DRM limit the number of times you can install and re-install them. Usually, you can call customer service to get the game to install again if you surpass that limit but it's just an unnecessary pain for you as a consumer.

    Ubisoft using absolutely no DRM? Did I read that correctly?

    Hopefully they stick to that throughout 2012 and beyond.

    Hopefully "without complicated DRM" becomes the new popular video game marketing tactic. Maybe even EA will change their minds... eh, who am I kidding?! :p

    I`ve looked at a few lets play videos and this game looks very fun. It looks true to the old Rayman series instead of that LAME rayman 3D they had going on. It looks like something like the first rayman game I played on Playstation 1 :)

    Will buy it for shure
