All I can say is what the hell! lol :o

Dear Rob Pears

We have have some important news regarding your GAME Exclusive Chris

Redfield Figurine, please read the below news bulletin for more information.

***Breaking News***

T-Virus outbreak at GAME.co.uk warehouse!

Official sources have reported that a T-Virus infection has engulfed a section

of the GAME.co.uk warehouse however they have confirmed that it has now

been contained.

It is suspected that the source of the contamination was the GAME Exclusive

Chris Redfield figurine that a limited number of Resident Evil 5 preorder

customers would be receiving.

Although the outbreak is yet to be naturalised, GAME.co.uk have confirmed

that all preorders for Resident Evil 5 will not be affected and will be

despatched uncontaminated in time for delivery on release day.

They have also confirmed that customers who were originally promised a

Chris Redfield figurine will still be receiving one, however the figurine will be

despatched separately at a slightly later date.

Initial reports suggest that a BSAA Team are already on site performing a

clean up operation, so customers can expect to receive their Chris Redfield

figurine by the end of next week.

GAME.co.uk has issued a public statement apologising for any

inconvenience caused.

***End of Broadcast***

Kind Regards,

The Customer Service Team

I got that email too. My Chris model arrived this morning though so I was lucky (Y)

My 360 has red lighted though, not so lucky..

I've checked around and the best price for them seems to be ?125. Gameplay are selling a bundles for ?130, one with HAWX or another with Sega Megadrive collection. Not bad prices for two new games. Only trouble is, are they Jaspers or Falcons:/:/

You spotted any other deals Rob?

I'm about to make a few calls to GAME and Blockbuster to check for stock of Gears of War PC. I'll ask for any deals.

Nothing decent best deal was ?129.99 @ GAME instore with Sega MegaDrive UC. But you already have that/played it and it would probably only re-sell for about ?10! I'll keep my eyes peeled for ya mind. Which red lights 1, 2 or 3?

Blockbuster only stock Jasper arcades now, I'm pretty sure of that. They ALWAYS have a free game with an arcade too, when I got mine I got FIFA '09 for free (instead of Call of Duty: World at War).

If there's a BB near you Andy it's worth popping in and asking a few questions, they let me check the box to see if it was a jasper (Y)

How much did you pay Brad?

@ Rob, it started off with just freezes, then it wouldn't boot. Then I had artifacts and one light (bottom right while horizontal) and then eventually 3 lights (top left, bottom left & right).

The Zavvi code still works. Again, the only thing stopping me from ordering is we don't know if its a Jasper or not..:/

3 red lights will get you a free repair from microsoft! Or is it over 3 years old? Even so they may just do it for you? Or you could pay ?60 to have it fixed and a free 1 year warrenty; they will more than likely send you a brand new unit.

You won't beat that deal at Zavvi mind!

@Brad, thanks. I'll either do that or I will ask my mate in PC World to buy it with staff discount or last resort, buy from Zavvi.

Try that first :p Never miss a bargain :L

And btw, I sent of my xbox that had RROD and the warranty sticker was missing, they switched dvd drives and sent it back to me, without fixing the RROD (fair enough), but then I sent it back to them with the new warranty sticker that they slapped on there and they fixed it.

Win?

PC World staff discount is only 10% anyway. :[ So it's the same as Zavvi's offer.

But I guess it's better backed if you get it from a store that's actually in business. :p

    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

Regular Updates – Community-driven development with new features and fixes. WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      "over a thousand engineering hours" and started selling it but could not take a couple of minuets to send an AI email to ask permission. What an expensive lesson.

      By Copernic · Posted

      Tor Browser 15.0.17 by Razvan Serea Protect your privacy. Defend yourself against network surveillance and traffic analysis. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody from watching your Internet connection and learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained. Tor Browser 15.0.17 changelog: All Platforms Updated Tor to 0.4.9.11 Updated NoScript to 13.6.25.1984 Build System / All Platforms Bug tor-browser-build#41821: Update gpg subkeys for boklm Bug tor-browser-build#41827: Update morgan's keychain with renewed key Download: Tor Browser (64-bit) | Tor Browser (32-bit) | 109.0 MB (Open Source) View: Tor Browser Website | Other Operating Systems Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
