Forza Motorsport 3 Limited Collectors Edition - ?10.45 @ eBuyer

For that price, it's an absolute bargain, as the DLC that comes with it costs a fair amount more than a tenner. Plus, you get the 2GB flash drive, which is about a fiver.

So... it's about time I got myself a copy of Halo: Reach ordered. What's the best deal that people have found for the standard edition (I'm not interested in expensive figurines etc). The code DM just posted for the Hut makes it ?33 there, has anyone found better than that?

Where can I get some cheap MS points?

The cheapest place I know is ShopTo - ?15.99, but they're not in stock in the moment. If you don't need it ASAP, I'd wait for them to get more in. It should only be a day or two. I'll ask them on Twitter.

Instant delivery isn't essential. Does that make a difference in price?

Well surprisingly, a 2100 points card costs ?16.63 with them. Those are in stock.

The best thing you should do though is wait for the codes to come back in stock, and then order it by SMS, so you get ?1 credit back on your account. :)

Sweet. I'll do that then, thanks for the heads up.

Well it's £15.63 from ShopTo with £1 off from SMS ordering, so...

Might be a bit early and there might be more competitive prices nearer release but...what's Black Ops's cheapest price? I saw £31.98 somewhere but it didn't look like a legit shop, and then prices stooped right up to £37. ¬_¬ Damn Activision and their high RRP.

Found it here, price is £31.99. Looking around the site now for other stuff.

Well, you can pay with PayPal but I think they take your money now rather than on dispatch. I don't even know if you'll get the game at all, anybody bought from Jack of All Games before?

Just found Halo: Reach too for £31.99. Link

Nice find there bud. Can anyone vouch for "Jack of All Games" with regards to pre-order delivery times though? I see that the first page of this thread says they take money on order not dispatch, but that doesn't bother me so long as I get the game on launch day (or earlier).

They say they aim to get games delivered within 1-5 days. For Halo, I doubt you'd see it on release day. With sites like that they always seem to send on release day.

As for COD from therr, would it really be worth buying it on release day? There's gonna bectons of connection issues and crap, best to wait a few days.

^ Couldn't be more wrong.

Small time retailers send out much earlier than the high street retailers who have to worry about MS/Ninty/Sony chasing them up for breaking street dates. These guys are pretty unknown if at all to the big 3. Plus online e-tailers have to meet the dates they advertise, so they send games in the post earlier to achieve street date. Usually overshooting the mark and delivering earlier.

Also, CoD: BO isn't worth buying, period.

Damn I got mixed up again : p Thanks for putting me right!

Black Ops is worth buying if you're going to play with your mates, which I will. You never know, it could be great. It might not be.

    • OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android by Karthik Mudaliar OpenClaw, the viral open-source personal AI agent, now has its own mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Users can pair the app with an existing OpenClaw gateway and can start using new mobile-native features that are now available on the app. The app supports all the existing features you'd already have seen on OpenClaw's TUI, as well as some more, such as real-time and background Talk mode, action approvals, sharing from iOS, and optional access to device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders. These features are available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app. What's important with these apps is that they don't run OpenClaw on your phone, but are actually just companion apps that require a running OpenClaw Gateway on an existing device, on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2. To pair the app with your existing OpenClaw gateway, users need to run the command "/pair qr" on the TUI or existing chat interface, which brings up a QR code. Users can then scan this QR code to pair it up with the mobile app. There's also an option to manually pair the app by entering the host and a port. Previously, OpenClaw had been available on phones via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and others. Now, with a native mobile app, the interface is much cleaner and more focused on just the OpenClaw, of course, with the added support for camera, screen, location, and more. It's important to note that OpenClaw comes with its own security warnings. There's always a chance of prompt injection with these tools, so users are recommended to double-check authentication, tool policy, sandboxing, and execution approvals rather than prompts alone. For users well-versed with the AI harness, a native mobile app makes it easier to approve an automation, share a link, use voice, or let an agent react to phone-side context.
    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.

    • They have lots of info on me, I have a facebook account and have done so for years, it was the thing to have then. My phone number is not on it. I don't have the Facebook app on my phone these days, just the messenger part, and only for a couple of people to contact me, most will text me via SMS or phone. I agree, Meta, like others, even without an account will know something about me. Just have to try and keep some things private Also, never saw the need for Whatsapp, people used to ask for me to join it, but as I said to them, I have SMS and a phone, use that, or email
