Any cheap deals on Guitar Hero 5?

I was just about to ask the same thing!

Also, can anyone recommend any decent games (and the best deals on them) that have recently been released or are being released by the 11th this month? The missus has asked for a list of possible gifts for my birthday and I'm struggling to come up anything so I was thinking of putting down a game or two.

Any cheap deals on Guitar Hero 5?

With or without guitar?

Shopto are the best at ?37.85 without guitar.

GameSeek are best price with guitar for ?59.97.

The Hutb> also have an end of summer sale on just now. A few gems in there.

PLAY.com is running a nice deal on the Elite:

Xbox 360 Elite Console + Scene It? Box Office Smash (includes 4 buzzers) + You're In The Movies (includes Xbox Live Vision Camera) + Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

EUR 259.99

This one still comes with the usual cables :p

You'd be better off paying for it in pounds, since it's only ?199.99.

I've not used them for preorders yet, but the delivery is usually spot on (Y)

AudioBoxer preordered Batman from them and it was dispatched days before release. Only reason he says delivery was slow was because he's in a remote location.

Anyone no what thehut is like for pre orders? Still not had anything about dirt 2 :(

i sent off a query this morning in reference to hearing nothing about my order yet as well so *fingers crossed* its just a blip.

i had previously ordered batman from there, both xbox and ps3 and the ps3 one came 2 days early and the xbox copy arrived a day later [due to me ordering it the day before i think] i also had resident evil 5 from there and didnt get that til the day after release and red faction and fuel both arrived the day before release. so i guess its a toss up tbh. not everything is early or on the day.

hopefully though i'll hear something back at some point soon :)

Cool thanks mate keep us posted!

sometimes a query is all thats needed :) hopefully should have this either tomorow or monday. with some luck that is

For your records, your original query was:

this is just a enquiry as to why my order for Colin McRae Dirt 2 for the xbox360 has not been processed or showing any signs of a despatch before the release date, which is tomorow, but instead its saying that the estimated dispatch date is the 24/9/2009. for any information on what is going on with my pre-order i would be grateful. thanks for your time

One of our customer services advisors has reviewed your query and we are able to confirm the following:

I am sorry that you have not received your order.

Your order has been sent to you today on 11/09/09 and your account will update shortly to show this.

Delivery usually takes 3-5 working days from our Warehouse in the Channel Islands via first class Royal Mail. Should your order not arrive to you within that time you need to allow 10 full working days for delivery before notifying us then we can track this with Royal Mail.

If you have not received your order by 25/09/09 then please contact us and we will be able to look into this further for you.

They upped the price of the Arcade, ditched the Pro, and dropped the price of the Elite to ?199.

Ahhh, I thought something like that had happened, although I don't keep my finger on the pulse of Xbox news.

Did they update some of the internal hardware as well, I heard they were going to do a little upgrade around July?

Don't know if anyone has heard, but there's a new GAME.co.uk voucher code up! :) Get ?5 off when you spend ?50. The code ilastminute09b> and it'll be valid until the end of September.

And like usual, the voucher code exploit works like a charm. I ordered two lots of 2100 Microsoft Points at ?11.99 each:p :p I also pre-ordered Metal Gear Solid: Rising, BLUR, and Tekken 6. That takes my pre-order list between now and whenever in 2010 MGS Rising comes out, to 9.

    • 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.
