anyone know of a decent-ish price for a new wireless controller? the cheapest i've seen is ?29.99 at game. i'd prefer it to be white, but sometimes you can't choose. i managed to break the part that holds the battery packs in place after i dropped it and also broke the chat pad audio input, and now my headset won't sit in it. the chat pad isnt a nessecity though so that will get replaced in time:)) i've managed to selotape the battery in place for now;))

Could COD:WAW veteran be the cause of the damaged controller?

I would say pop into Zavvi and have a look as I believe that they were ?22.99 before Christmas + the 20% they seem to have off pretty much everything. Also I thought that in game they were doing controllers for ?20 when bought with anything else.

COD:WAW was the start of the end of my controller. its was just a natural break as i accidently just dropped it. COD5 on veteran got done in the first week of release so that agony could just be out of the way. but i was actually playing the game when it happened.

i was hoping GAME migt have been doing something like that but i think they stoppped doing that a few weeks ago :s zavvi is a good idea though, but i'm not sure if the local branch would have anything [as they didn't have much the last time i was in there a week ago] and tbh the cost of travel, it would just end up being a saving of about ?3. i might just grit my teeth and hope that GAME are doing the something decent instore when i visit there on my way to work later.

I didn't really pay too much attention to its shadiness, because I wasn't planning on buying anything from there (most of their prices seem high). Anyways seeing as I posted it I don't want anyone getting ripped off, so I did some digging:

Says in their footer their company number (registered in uk) under Divinity Corporation Limited. They've been incorporated for over a year and are listed on the official companies house website:

http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/96956ac6...20a/compdetails

Although I couldn't find anything with my brief google about complaints/or anyone buying from them really. Maybe someone else can dig a bit deeper?

On a side note, anyone else think shopto.net's site gives a dodgy impression? I remember my first order from them I wasn't too hopeful of actually recieving it!

If people hadn't have said such great things about shopto before hand I wouldn't have ever bought anything from them :p

Ditto, they really need a redesign.

A new design, a better search system, better support and a better pre-order system. But I am finding Shopto to have prices higher than other shops now. I guess they can't afford to drop their prices as quickly and as low as Game etc.

Now? They've had crap price for well over a year. Only bought from them 3 times in 2008 (2 of which were platinum titles for PS3 anyway).

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I like Tidal, but it still does not control devices from the mobile/app and still no surround support. And yeah re: above comment I still get a lot of network errors and I am on a 4/4 Gbit Fiber connection.

      Aren`t "security features" and "AI model that can see your screen" a tad diametric!
    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      By grik · Posted

      Glad im on the right boat. Tidal has lots of issues in terms of app and music mix, its worst than spot but its honest. Spot algo is very tendentious and they pess less to artists, so im comfortable with the tidal errors, for now.
    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says by David Uzondu Image via Tidal Tidal has announced an AI policy aimed at protecting artists and their crafts, as AI music generation tools continue to improve both in speed and quality. According to the music streaming platform, AI-generated music will be accepted, but these tracks will be held to a "higher standard" of content integrity. Next month, the company plans to auto-identify and tag these uploads. Listeners will spot a special icon next to content that algorithms flag as 100% AI-generated starting mid-July, and the platform hopes to expand this tag to partially generated songs as detection tech improves. Any AI music that exploits an artist's voice or likeness will be taken down, and Tidal will immediately block tracks associated with fraudulent activity, which includes artificial streaming and deceptive content that interferes with real creators. And finally, music that's 100% AI-generated will not be monetized. Tidal said there is "ongoing debate" about whether certain licensed synthetic models deserve payouts, so it's possible that this part will change in the future. Streaming platforms are absolutely getting flooded with AI-generated music because of how easy it is to pump out endless tracks every minute. To give you an idea of how "bad" it is, Deezer alone reported that synthetic uploads now make up about 44% of its daily intake, which translates to roughly 75,000 automated tracks hitting its servers every single day. Interestingly, Deezer found most people cannot tell the difference between human and machine creations, with an Ipsos study revealing that 97% of listeners failed to spot the AI-generated tracks. Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music. The Swedish platform partnered with Universal Music Group to test "legal and controlled" generative AI tools that let subscribers remix songs with AI.
