even though I do prefer to have real ones for some weird reason.

It's not a weird reason. It's consumerist conditioning, that's all... We all suffer from it to some extent...

Shame someone would bother to pay so much for a shirt that does nothing more than display some pseudo status. A real shame.

Fake, buttons are naff and you mentioned poor stiching.

If you got it from eBay, then that would be doubtfull that it is not fake.

Here, read, if the seller purchased it new and just didn't wear it and didn't wash it, they could easily go get a refund.

Those big companies don't like their fashion labels being sold anywhere but in genuine shops that fit their criteria.

It's like buying Gucci handbags in Tesco rather than Harrods. It gives their goods a chav like culture.

it's not like the seller is selling it because he doesn't want it or doesn't fit, it's more like he's selling it for wholesale in which he gets large batches of authentic overstock, possibly from the philippines at where its so cheap....

Yeah, I am with you on that. :)

Had to add, me also, rather spend ?40 on a rugger shirt that lasts 40 washes, than some rip-off from a market stool, that fades away and starts shrinking after 3 washes for ?10.

lol I guess I just don't understand...I saw a person at work today that was wearing a Ralph Lauren Polo and I thought of this thread lol :rofl:

It's the feeling that you own something that is quality, and that it will last for quite some time. I prefer original than pirated.

does anyone have any idea where a polo of a suggested manufacturer's retail price of $52.50 would be sold? i know that the ones from US are set at $65, but another one that i got off ebay has a tag of 52.50 and i noticed that (them both being M), this one is a lil bit smaller... but they're both made in philippines, so where could it be from?

The black paper doesn't look very legit...

But everything else is okay. but the buttons, i don't know about that...

I have a lot of Lactose, Polo, Ben Sherman, Gucci, shirts, and some come in those plasic bags.

i got the EXACT same shirt on ebay and one of the reasons I bought it was because I saw the black paper. The newer polos at stores have those black tags so I felt that it was authentic. My buttons were fine and I compared it with my other polos (which arn't from ebay or the internet) and all of them have "RN 41381" on the back of the tag. Also the bottom tag is on the same spot as my other polo shirts with very similar wording.

Also, saying 99% of ebay stuff is fake is something that is NOT proven. Saying a shirt is from ebay doesn't mean it's automatically fake, it's only that person's guess without any basis of evidence.

oh, and by the way, RL polo's are so-o-o-o-o-o 5 years ago, but for mowing the grass in style; o. k.

drop by malaysia too, you can get other big brands too for less then $10 :D

*bumps old topic*

i just ordered some from ebay and they came back from the phillipines too. i compared them to my store bought American Polos.

these are the differences ive noticed

the biggest one is that the button holes are ACTUAL holes instead of slits like on the US ones.

the logo on the chest seems slightly more to the right when looking @The shirt(left when wearing)

the wash instruction tag doesnt fit "tumble dry low and steam iron" on ONE side like the american one does.

u have to turn it over to see steam iron or w/e it says.

and lastly the shirt just feels a lot thinner in general. more cheap.

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
