****! Knew I should have pre-ordered it last night :(

Why why why! do you people always wait and give them the chance to correct the problem?! Even in the 360 topic people always wait until it's too late to take advantage of XBL point glitches etc. Makes no sense to me :laugh:

What are Amazon like for misprices? Some people on hotukdeals say they honour them while others say it's likely to get cancelled.

See post #272

Brilliant price for Batman Arkham Asylum at The Hut, ?22.44 Pre-Order.

Use HUT10 in the discount box to get 10% off so the price comes down to ?22.44.

Very tempting, seeing as the Joker is exclusive to the PS3.

Well I got home late last night with my gf and I flicked through my RSS feeds and saw something about it and figured I'd have a proper look today :(

2 games for ?30

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/part...ext%3ESOCOM.htm

Go to special offers.

You can even add 2 of the same, if you want you can get two copies of Socom that both comes with a headset for ?30. 2 headsets for ?30 is good, and you can sell one of your copies of Socom.

Ooh, that's very tempting, but no hurry, as the offer ends on January 22nd 2010:p :p

I'm thinking of grabbing Ferrari Challenge + MotorStorm Pacific Rift for that offer, but I might swap Ferrari Challenge for SOCOM Confrontation, if it definitely comes the headset. I thought the game was utter balls when I rented it from LoveFilm, but if I can get it for ?15 with the official headset, I'll learn to like it:p; :p Can anyone confirm it? I'm not entirely sure, as it doesn't mention a headset at all, and there is a version with just the game.

It's pretty hard to tell unless you know someone who took a gamble and bought it.

But, the RRP on Argos is ?39.99 which is the same RRP of the version with the headset.

The versionwithout> the headset was ?19.99 RRP

*checks Play.com*... so it is!:):) Thanks, DM! I think I'll take the gamble, but I've gotta wait for some money to come in first, as I bought a Nike+ Sportband last week:p:p Shouldn't take too long though, as I'm currently covering an extra two paper rounds for a fortnight. It's hell, but it's gonna net me ?80 in just two weeks:D :D

Forget Socom, not available in Plymouth, or anywhere near, I was gonna get it also, but no luck.

Oh and its not for delivery either:((

Batman Arkham Asylum

Found at HotUKDeals

Damn that's tempting as it does seem to be shaping up to be a potentially good game. If the deals still going after the demo on Thursday I'll probably jump on it (if I like the demo).

The foil hat is coming off :o

I'd order now and then you know the preorder is safe before they stop taking them or change price.

On a side now, the game appears to be going for 20% off in the States too.

I've just done that, I can cancel the pre-order. At that price it's too good not to take a gamble on, especially when you can cancel.

Just because I suspect 'trickery' involved in the review side of things doesn't mean the actual game can't be good. I wait for all the reviews, no point in pre-judging a game before you get an honest range of opinion on it ;)

Also looks like it's legit

I'll be the first to shoot Eidos down, trust me, I really loathe the company. Batman looks like a really good game, which is twice the praise from me because I hate DC Comics :p

If it sucks in the end then I'll be staying well clear of their games for the foreseeable future. Well, unless Miss Croft turns up :p

By the way Amazon finally added placeholder box art for GT5 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Gran-Turismo-...mp;s=videogames

Looks like they won't be deleting the item and re-listing it (as a way of canceling pre-orders). Hope +1.

:laugh: sales of GT5 were up 17,700%

DM you said earlier Folklore was cancelled, happened with Lair also, but both of those games were before Amazons pre-order price guarantee which started on the 25th February 2008. Looks like they might need to bite the bullet on this one, fingers crossed.

lol I like how PS3 fanboy sites are now spinning this like the game is so incredible it's beating everyone in the market.

    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.
    • You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂
    • Thank gawd AT&T never worked with the US gov....
    • Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
