UBI Download Exclusive till Launch Day?

[fearlessfrog]

Hello,

Two quick questions:

(1) I want to pre-order but tend to collect my games in Steam. Will COD be available on Steam for launch day or just some time further down the road?

(2) Anyone know when the Ubisoft Store 'freebie' of Silent Hunter III will disappear as an offer, i.e. will it last up until launch day?

I had a search here already, plus pinged the Ubisoft and Steam forums but haven't found any info. Thanks for any help.
