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

    • TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 by Razvan Serea TeraCopy is a compact program designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed, also providing you with a lot of features. Copy files faster. TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives. Pause and resume transfers. Pause copy process at any time to free up system resources and continue with a single click. Error recovery. In case of copy error, TeraCopy will try several times and in the worse case just skips the file, not terminating the entire transfer. Interactive file list. TeraCopy shows failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only problem files. Shell integration. TeraCopy can completely replace Explorer copy and move functions, allowing you work with files as usual. TeraCopy is free for non-commercial use only. For commercial use you need to buy a license. The paid version of the program includes the following features: Copy/move to your favorite folders. Save reports as HTML and CSV files. Select files with the same extension/folder. Remove the selected files from the copy queue. Features added since version 3.17: Enhanced speed graph. New multi-threaded copy engine. Support for copying to multiple targets. Queue system for managing multiple copy operations. Support for receiving files via the LocalSend protocol. TeraCopy entry in the modern Windows Explorer context menu. Integrated toolbar in the title bar. Why receive LocalSend transfers with TeraCopy? Handle file conflicts: Skip, overwrite, or rename files when a file with the same name already exists. LocalSend always creates another copy, which can waste time and disk space, especially when resuming an interrupted transfer. Filter unwanted files: Apply ignore lists or remove files manually before accepting a transfer, so unnecessary files are not downloaded. Better performance on fast networks: In tests over a 10 Gbps connection, TeraCopy received files several times faster than the standard LocalSend app on Windows. TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 changelog: Fixed a bug where Overwrite behaved as Overwrite All during same-drive move operations. AdvancedInstaller fixed the installer’s security vulnerability: EXE Bootstrapper resolved the %appdata% location incorrectly for the System account.

    • First exciting thing to come to Windows in a long time ! This is the kind of things they should focus on, instead of cramming as much AI as they can in everything.
    • New AMD graphics driver fixes install issues and FSR 4.1 crashes on RX 7000 GPUs by Taras Buria AMD is rolling out yet another graphics driver. Version 26.6.4 is now available for download, bringing two important fixes. One is for those still using Windows 10 and having trouble installing driver 26.6.2. In fact, this patch is coming from the recently released hotfix, so it is not new if you are already running version 26.6.3. The second fix is for RX 7000 owners. AMD recently brought FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen graphics cards, but there was a bug with certain games crashing when using FSR 4.1. I experienced this issue with Forza Horizon 6, so today's driver should take care of that. Here is the official changelog: Intermittent install issue seen when installing AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 on Windows® 10 systems for Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Intermittent application crash may be observed in some games with AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 enabled on Radeon™ RX 7000 series graphics products. Known issues include the following: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield™ 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield™ 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products. AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield™ 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products. Failure to install may be observed while installing AI Bundle components in some regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub. Model flickering or rendering failure may be observed in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender on Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. Intermittent application crash may be observed on some models while running Blender on Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. You can download the AMD Radeon driver 26.6.4 from the official website here. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • Amazon may use OpenAI and Nova models after Anthropic reportedly raises costs by Karthik Mudaliar Amazon is reportedly considering to use OpenAI models and even its own Nova family of AI models after Anthropic raised the cost of using Claude inside Amazon services. According to a report from The Information, Amazon is weighing its options to reduce costs under a new arrangement with Anthropic. But back in April, Amazon said it would invest $5 billion more in Anthropic, with the possibility of adding up to another $20 billion if certain commercial milestones are met. That investment actually came on top of another $8 billion Amazon had already put into the Claude maker. Anthropic, meanwhile, committed to spend more than $100 billion over 10 years on AWS technologies, including Amazon’s Trainium chips. Amazon isn't just a customer of Anthropic but also one of the most important backers and cloud partners. This is why it makes it interesting that Amazon is considering other alternatives to handle its internal workloads. Although Amazon has been building its own options for a while now. Its Nova family of AI models was announced in late 2024 for Amazon Bedrock, with models aimed at text, image, and video tasks. Amazon pitched the model around cost and latency at that time. With that said, OpenAI has also become a more realistic option recently for AWS customers as well as for Amazon itself. Earlier this year, OpenAI brought its latest models and Codex coding agent to Amazon Bedrock, after changes to its previously more restrictive Microsoft cloud arrangement. This allowed AWS to serve even those customers who wanted other alternatives from Claude, without having to move workloads out of Amazon's cloud. Evaluating alternatives could also be due to commercial pressure and not necessarily a sign of a damaged partnership between Amazon and Anthropic. Whether or not Amazon is actually considering switching entirely to OpenAI's models or its own Nova models remains unknown at this moment.
