LBP is awesome. I am currently designing a level for it. :D

Does this Beta feature local multiplayer?

Yes, I connected another PS3 controller to my PS3 and it prompted me to select a local XMB account. Once I did that another Sackboy entered the level. :)

Here is a really bad quality photo of what I mean.

The Socom beta was announced ahead of time by a few days or so, but the LBP giveaway was a joke :no:

The amount of news and crap it's created over these keys just shows you they knew exactly what they were doing. It's all about ??? in the end for them.

A joke? Why? Because you didn't get in?

It was posted all over the net that beta testers would get an invite and several thousand codes would be released to the usual suspects for them to give away.

It was done in the exact same manner as any other open beta/demo.

I'm not having a dig at you, I just don't understand your statement.

No, it wasn't handled the same way at all. Scritly speaking about Eurogamer, nobody else. And no it's not because I didn't get in, I am planning to buy the game already, actually not playing it will make it better come the 24th.

However, the announcement didn't come in until 5pm or later in the day, and it was quite clearly rigged with it showing 1 key left for a long time to many many people. They did it so more would continue to sign up which means more ??? in their pocket. I've been a member at EG for long enough to spot something out of the ordinary from them.

Seems funny that I knew about the keys about 2 days before they were out, and I wasn't alone - another forum I frequent also knew about them.

Never mind, you're not missing out on much (honestl:p :p )

I never said I didn't know they were coming, don't twist my words. I said they never announced when. Prove me wrong and find a source on their website otherwise, please :) I read the news every day when I get up and some point through the day. The first I seen they were giving them away was Tuesday night when I got home.

No, no. Forget it.

I didn't know that they had even been released and I usually know about these things...

AB had to link me over MSN to inform me that the LBP Codes were available, this was about 5.30pm and it then took me 45 minutes to Re-Register (as my old username and password refused to work even though I requested my details and even that said it was right) and then actually get the LBP Beta Key page to load.

It wasn't very well constructed I dont think, EG should of prepared their servers for the on slaught as LBP is a hugely anticipated game for PS3 owners and to not prepare the servers was a serious school boy error.

Hopefully they will learn from their mistakes if they ever get this sort of oppertunity again.

They didn't for the CoD4 beta, did they? However there was no server downtime/overload from that I believe.

It's weird that they released them approx. 5pm in the evening. I was playing halo and browsing this thread and saw AB post it. Total surprise!

Every single beta they've had keys for and I've been interested they have always announced when they are giving them away. Call of Duty 4 included :yes:

Trust me, they knew exactly what they were doing with the LBP keys and the hype they created. Not that it really matters in the end.

Funny you say forget it Shadowmoses, perhaps because they didn't announce anything at all until 5pm? :rolleyes:

I'm with you DM, I couldn't remember if they announced they would release CoD4 keys or not.

It's obvious they'll have CoD5 keys too, but meh that's another story.

It ****ed me off that they never said a word about LBP Keys, but instead made everyone rush for it at once.

No, I said forget it because I can't really be bothered arguing with you or proving you wrong (or right) (Y)

I knew about it 2 days before they went live on EG.

Anyway...

      Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • DuRoBo Krono Review: Portable E-Ink reader with great ideas that need a bit of improvement

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • what other retro software do yall use

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
