Anyone want to trade for any of the following:

Frozen Synapse

Operation Flashpoint - Dragon Rising

50% off Valve voucher

50% off Lightfish voucher

Coal or games - make me an offer!

How about a piece of coal and a 25% off Valve games and a 25% off Activision games for Operation Flashpoint and the 50% off Valve games voucher? :)

My copy of Portal 2 is still up for trading for any other game.

Here's what I already have :

The Orange Box

CIV4 + ext

Just Cause2

Borderlands

Alpha Protocol

Darksiders

Portal 1+ 2

Hoard

Bioshock 2

SW Empire at war Gold

GTA4 + EFLC

Monkey island 2 special edition

Game Getter's giving away the King Arthur Collection on Steam: *snipped* - I think you've just gotta share the link with friends once you've signed up.

They're also doing a giveaway on Modern Warfare 3: *snipped* - But that one's a competition; it seems only the top 5 sharers get that one.

Nice try, but I don't think referral links are allowed here ;)

*sigh* Sorry, I didn't know. They never used to resort to cheap tactics like that before. Should have guessed it with big games like that; usually the only games on there are small-fry indie titles.

I can get on my brother's account to trade Just Cause 2 for Portal 2 for him.

NOTE: For some reason it's saying he can't actually trade it until January 22, even though he's had his account for years. I'll gift it first, then you gift (or trade, either way) Portal 2 to the account. Only want people who are trustworthy (read: people who are reputable in the Neowin community).

It's sad. I've been looking at the sales every day for the past week, and yet nothing is interesting. None of the games being given discounts (that I do not have already or plan on playing on a console) are either good enough or worth the money (even after the discount).

I was hoping to at least get a few games this during this sale. :/

Not much in today's deals, except for all the Worms games being 75% off. :)

Oh yeah, and Rock of Ages is now ?1.74. Coming from someone who pre-ordered it when it was just over ?6, I cannot recommend this game enough! It's hard to explain it properly, but it's just so fun to play, and it's crammed full of Monty Python-style humour. It's also got online modes too, plus a Skeeball-style game mode. :)

Yup, I'm thinking about getting Worms: Reloaded.

I got that a while ago, thanks to Green Man Gaming, so I'm getting everything but that. :p Totals up to just over a tenner.

Oh, and a little warning for anyone considering Test Drive Unlimited 2, it was cheaper in a previous daily deal (I think it was ?3.74), so I wouldn't recommend getting it now.

I have a coupon for Sol Survivor (full game, not discount) that I'll trade for Freedom Force, if you're interested. Steam name is Zanaffer

If you haven't traded it yet, would you fancy trading Sol Survivor for a piece of coal and a 50% off Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee voucher? :)

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
