Seems the game is out in Australia and TweakGuides has written a pretty lengthy article about the DRM in action. Besides needing an internet connection, it doesn't really seem that bad and it says that "these saves [for AC2] can be stored online or on your drive depending on your preferences."

He ends it with somewhat ominous tone and I hope it doesn't come to pass. I would like to PC game at least well into old age! =D In any case I will be buying the game and have it already reserved so I'll also provide some info to see what the "average PC gamer" should expect. As for the visuals, it looks pretty much the same with some very slight enhancements. If you ran AC1 well, AC2 should be no problem.
Also, no more of this "Ubisoft sucks!" or "This DRM sucks!" I've seen 20 page threads of this already. If you're not getting the game due to the DRM, just say that.
