It's not working for me. :(

And it's worse, because I can't cancel the order I made; I keep getting error messages. Thank god I haven't got the money for it, but I've contacted customer support telling them to cancel the order, then I might try again later.

Just tried it again and it didn't work. :( Do you have to order a specific item so that they get shipped seperately for it to work?

EDIT: Yes, you do! Tried it with the Vibrant Blue PSP-3000 (which is on pre-order) and it split the orders, so it worked!!! :D

Only two things that are a shame for me: you have to wait 20 minutes each time, and I've only got ?17 in my bank account, so I can only get two of them. But I'm still saving ?20!:p:p

Right here is what I did step by step:

1. Find 2100 Microsoft Points Card

2. Add 2100 Microsoft Points Card to basket

3. Find Tony Hawk Ride ? as this costs ?99.99!

4. Add Tony Hawk Ride to basket

5. View Basket

6. Ent10100VCGAME/b> code into the correct box, it should say code accepted!

7. Proceed to fill in you card and address details and progress the order

8. Complete the order

9. Once complete it should say manage orders go to that

10. Click on cancel for Tony Hawk Ride, continue bla bla bla

11. Right that should now be cancelled and leave you with only the 2100 Points but they should only be ?7.50 as the ?10 voucher has been taken of them

Hmm, seems they might have sorted out the problem somewhat. I've tried to get a tenner off Forza 3, but no matter which way I put it in, it always takes ?10 off Tony Hawk, not Forza.:((

OK, it looks like it's a problem with either Tony Hawk or Forza 3, because I just pre-ordered DiRT 2 with the PSP-3000 in Vibrant Blue to get the discount, and it did give the ?10 off to DiRT 2, so I'm only paying ?25 for that:) :)

Balls, I'm getting the problem with Mass Effect 2 now as wel:( :(

You really are giving the system some abuse there aren't yo:p :p

I just hope they don't catch on to what we're doing by the time our pre-orders come through and take the discount away from us!

Apparently there is some strange problem with some games, try adding 3 or however many copies of that game to take it over ?100 and then cancel all bar one!

Doesn't work, unfortunately. It's all grouped into one order, and they go down to ?36 each for Forza 3, not ?30.

    • Google reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute by Karthik Mudaliar Google is reportedly limiting Meta's use of its Gemini AI models after Meta tried buying more computing capacity than even Google could supply. According to the Financial Times, Google told Meta in March that it could not provide the full Gemini capacity that Meta had requested. This shortfall even disrupted and delayed some of Meta's internal projects. Due to this, Meta even told its employees internally to use AI tokens more efficiently. Meta wasn't the only one to get hit by this sudden refusal by Google; even other customers were affected. But Meta was hit harder because of its unusually high demand for Google's models. The move from Google makes it evident that companies all over are in limited supply of both infrastructure and compute. Alphabet said in April that Google Cloud revenue grew 63% year-over-year to $20 billion in the first quarter, helped by enterprise AI infrastructure and AI solutions. In pursuit of more compute, Meta had earlier signed a multi-billion-dollar AWS agreement as well as a large AMD GPU deal for AI data centers. But the crunch would be short-lived as both Meta and Google have also ramped up infrastructure investments heavily. Meta said in November that it was committing more than $600 billion in the U.S. by 2028 for AI technology, infrastructure, and workforce expansion. In the first quarter of this year, Meta also raised its expected capital expenditure for 2026 to a range of $125 billion to $145 billion, citing higher component pricing and additional data center costs for future capacity. However, this doesn't make the company immune to the current dependence on outside suppliers. Meta has also spent many years promoting Llama as an open-weight alternative to closed models from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic. But if the reported reliance on Google's Gemini models is severe enough for internal work to get impacted, then it looks like even frontier labs and Big Tech aren't fully self-sufficient.

    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026

      By seeprime · Posted

      I like to reminisce about the good old days, way back in autumn 2025 when building a gaming machine was fun and the drives were about $150 when you caught a deal. Yes duh, back in the day we had it gone. Then baby Skynet came along, hiding in AI datacenters demanding more processing power until it reached singularity. End of a not totally fictional story.
    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +Spark99 · Posted

      My experience in the past with older Windows 11 builds was not great on unsupported machines but I recently used Rufus to put the latest build on a older 5th Gen Core Thinkpad T that we upgraded with a SATA SSD and 8GB of RAM four years ago when hardware was reasonable and it seemed pretty fast and solid. Customer is very happy with the performance and will probably get four more years out of that venerable laptop that he loves so much. Another customer just retired his Dell Studio laptop from 2009 running Windows 10. It got an SSD over 10 years ago and did everything he needed it to for 17 years but he also retired last year and is happy doing everything on his iPad now.
    • Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount by Taras Buria In late January 2026, Apple introduced its second-generation AirTag trackers, bringing a refresh to the old model that has been on the market for half a decade. Now, you can get these new trackers at an all-time low price, thanks to the first big discount that brought the price down by 17% on Amazon. While the second-generation AirTag looks identical to its predecessor, it packs meaningful upgrades inside. The second-gen ultrawideband chip works 50% farther than the original AirTag, allowing you to detect lost items in a wider range. In addition, the second-generation AirTag features an upgraded Bluetooth chip for extended range and a significantly louder speaker (up to 50%) so that you can hear it better when locating a lost item. Note that the second-gen AirTag only works with iPhones and iPads that run iOS/iPadOS 26 and newer, so you need a compatible device to use the tracker. Like the original AirTag, the AirTag 2 is available in two packs: one and four pieces. Both are now available at a notable discount on Amazon, and you can purchase them using the links below. Apple AirTag 2 tracker - $24 | 17% off on Amazon Apple AirTag 2 tracker (four-pack) - $89 | 10% off on Amazon 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 monterxz · Posted

      I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "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."
