ShopTo Forum Post

Seems to be nothing to worry about.

That seems to be silly, they should be addressing the problem.. It doesn't pop up with errors for nothing. In fact it is still saying the SSL stuff is expired as it told me this a couple hours ago. I would have thought they would've fixed it by now!

I am sorry but Shopto support is rubbish. They don't seem to address anything. Just take the quiet way out.

Edit - just read their response, telling us its nothing really is treating us like idiots!

Oh well, is there any deals on Valkyria Chronicles?

Quidco for play will give you another ?10 off also I think, and here is the 5% off code.

Nope, Quidco will give you 1% on Console Purchases so that would be only ?2.49, though if you take off 5% before Quidco tracks you would only get ?2.30 off Quidco.

Got to love the whole 1% saving from Quidc:laugh:gh:

Seriously, ?2.49 saved on a console purchase? I just bought 8

OK would you prefer a kick in the teeth? I mean if your going to buy one anyway that's a pint and a bag of crisps. If it takes an extra 5 minutes that's 2.49 for 5 minutes work which is the equivalent to a job that pays ?30 an hour.

Yeah, if I was homeless and was begging all day long, I might care about 2.49.

Oh and what does having my teeth kicked in have to do with anything?

Amazon have a bit of a stock clearance going on:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PLAYSTATION-3...bin%3A671473011

Most notable deals are:

Fear 2: Project Origin (PS3)

Was ?39.99, Now ?17.99

Soul Calibur IV (PS3)

Was ?29.99, Now ?14.95

Yeah, if I was homeless and was begging all day long, I might care about 2.49.

Can I have ?2.49 please and anyway if you use Quidco for everything you buy online it soon ads up to a much larger sum.

Anyone know the cheapest place to get Ferrari Challenge? I really want to get it now after playing the Supercar Challenge beta. The best price I've seen so far is ?16.99 at ShopTo. GAME have it a pound more and it's out of stock, and Play.com don't have it at all themselves; it's only up on PlayTrade, and it starts at nearly ?20 there.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
