****! 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.

    • Ooooh! Two editorial from Paul Hill on the same day! Is it my birthday or something? 😉 Okay, let's see if I get it right. SearXNG develops a meta-search engine app. Individuals install it on their relays. Users connect to these relays to have their own identity-stripping meta-search engine instead of relying on DuckDuckGo. And some of these volunteers have listed their SearXNG instances on SearX.space. That was a lot of wrap my head around. I hope I haven't missed anything.
    • You sound like some Ukrainians in Crimea before 2014: "I didn't vote for USSR disbanding - I want Ukraine to be part of Russia again" 🤣
    • Uninstalr 3.1 by Razvan Serea Introducing Uninstalr: Easy to use and very accurate software uninstaller for Windows. It can uninstall multiple apps at the same time and we think it’s pretty cool. Developed with expertise by Macecraft Software - the minds behind jv16 PowerTools. Key Features Batch uninstall many apps at the same time. Supports unattended uninstallation of apps. Supports monitoring of new software installations. Also detects portable apps and previously uninstalled software leftovers. Shows all the data added to your system by installed software on a file by file basis. Shows all the data it will remove before starting the uninstallation. Filter and search the list of installed software. According to our benchmark, Uninstalr is the most accurate software uninstaller by leaving the least amount of leftovers when uninstalling apps. Supports detection and uninstallation of Microsoft Store, Steam, Big Fish Game System, Chocolatey, NuGet and Ninite installed software. Supports Windows Dark Mode. Supports Windows 11, 10, 8 and 7. Comes with these translations builtin: Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Czech, Danish, English, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. Has a single executable file portable version and a normal setup version. Uninstalr is freeware, lightweight and easy to use. No bells and whistles, no nonsense. Uninstalr’s custom uninstallation engine has a dedicated support for the detection and uninstallation of 15 types of apps: Normal Windows apps Microsoft Store apps Portable apps Chocolatey apps Ninite apps PortableApps.com apps Steam games EA App games Epic Games Store games Riot platform games GOG Galaxy games WarGaming.net games Battle.net games itch.io games Big Fish platform games Uninstalr 3.1 changelog: Key Changes Uninstalr now starts and shows the list of installed apps faster after the initial scan has been completed, and with much smaller memory usage. Uninstalr now detects and highlights apps that automatically start with Windows. Greatly improved the detection of portable apps. Improvements New feature: Uninstalr now detects and highlights apps that automatically start with Windows. New feature: Uninstalr now highlights possible leftovers and apps from Russia and China. This can be disabled from the Settings. New feature: A new filter that allows you to show only software that is installed to other than the system drive. New feature: Users can now select to always do the deepest and the most accurate scan for installed apps, at the cost of the analysis taking a longer time. Greatly improved the detection of portable apps, such as added dedicated support for MiTeC, EZ Tools and SysInternals tools. Improved support for portable apps installed via Windows System Control Center (WSCC). NirSoft portable apps are now listed with "NirSoft" prefix for easier identification. Improved the speed of uninstalling apps. The main installed software listing search will now find "Xbox GameBar" if you search for "Game bar" and vice versa. The tooltip now displays more detailed information of the installed apps, such as its registry key and uninstaller path. The links in the About section now look more like clickable links. The main menu is now more clearly indicated in the main user interface. Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office ships with some Windows 11 installations and is now considered a builtin Windows app and only listed if builtin Windows apps filter is enabled. Added a Help button to the main user interface that opens the help section of the website. Added an option not to close Uninstalr after uninstallation. If you open the Uninstalr website from the app, the website now receives the version number of your current Uninstalr version and warns you if you are using anything but the latest version. Improved the accuracy of the New Software Monitor. Improved confirmation messages for Steam and other platform related uninstalls. Improved the uninstallation performance of Steam games. Fixes: Known bug fixed: Some installed app names are capitalized incorrectly, such as "CCleaner Portable" is listed as "ccleaner portable". Known bug fixed: Some apps can be listed twice, for example, Smart Defrag can be listed once as Smart Defrag and then Smart Defrag Home. Known bug fixed: On the pre-uninstallation screen, the Scripts checkbox can be checked by default on Dark Mode but not on the normal mode. Known bug fixed: Perform Deep Analysis can be started only by clicking the button, not via the Right Click menu, main menu or F4 keyboard shortcut. Muse Hub could be incorrectly listed as Adobe Muse. SyncTrayzor was incorrectly detected as two unrelated software, SyncTrayzor and Syncthing. Smart Defrag was incorrectly listed twice as Smart Defrag 11 and Smart Defrag Home. It was possible to enter non-printable characters to the search input boxes of the main screen, and the path listing screen, which caused the UI to look funny. Changing the translation from Settings, especially many times in a row, caused the UI to distort. If you had multiple instances of portable apps on your system, such as the 64b and 32b versions of the same portable app, typically only one of them was detected, not both. In some very rare cases, Uninstalr UI could start with random characters in its search input boxes, which could make the UI look rather confusing. This was a rare issue, only reported by two users. The pre-uninstallation screen could display non-existing paths for example as the software's installation directory or main exe file. This was a cosmetic issue. New Software Monitor cannot detect the installation of Claude. Selecting all the found software made the UI look funny with the top panel covering everything else (because the names of all the selected software were listed there). Sometimes a Steam game could be listed a normal app instead of a Steam game. If the system restart after an uninstallation is delayed, e.g. because of Windows Updates being installed, this additional delay is incorrectly added to the time how long the uninstallation process took. This cosmetic bug could cause the program incorrectly report an uninstallation time longer than the actual uninstallation time. Uninstalling Minecraft could simply fail. The Only scan the system drive for installed apps setting does not fully work. If some apps are installed to a non system drive and this setting is enabled, the app could still be detected and listed on the main user interface. Changing any settings could also incorrectly alter the Only Scan The System Drive For Installed Apps setting. Microsoft OneDrive and Copilot are not always detected. If you enter something to the search filter field, then select the text and press the Delete key, this triggers the Uninstall button click even if your intent was to delete the text input. If you press the F5 key to refresh the screen during the uninstallation loading screen, the program will crash. If you enabled some setting, such as "Do not analyze installed app installation sizes", it could automatically be unchecked later. Uninstalr doesn't warn you if you try to remove Fortec antivirus. There should be a warning if user attempts to remove any antivirus or antimalware type program. Such programs should not be uninstalled using a third party uninstaller, as they are typically protected against automated uninstallation, for security reasons. With "Do not analyze installed app installation sizes" option checked from the Settings, Uninstalr could still display some installation size related elements in the UI which was confusing. The "Only scan the system drive" option moved under Improve Scan Speed from the General settings. If two software have the exact same name and version number, selecting both of them for uninstallation fails because only one is actually selected. Sorting the installed apps by size sometimes fails and the order is incorrect. The "Don't show which paths are currently analyzed" did not work correctly - some parts of the UI still show the currently analyzed path with this setting checked. The "Don't list software less than 10 MB" filter did not work correctly - some apps smaller than 10 MB could still be listed. Uninstalr could start very quickly and display an empty list of detected apps. Restarting the app usually fixed the issue and the list of installed apps was properly displayed. If you placed portable Uninstalr to a same folder with other portable apps, those were not detected because Uninstalr automatically added its installation folder to the ignore list. When trying to uninstall some specific software, Uninstalr could get stuck on the Searching for more data relating to the app phase. Uninstalr could sometimes do a silent uninstallation even if user had unchecked the Perform a silent uninstallation option. Known issues: Uninstalr can fail to run with an Out Of Memory error in systems that have a lot of installed apps. Using the New Software Monitor tool multiple times during one session can cause the program to get stuck on the Scanning stage. The "uninstallation completed" message box sometimes closes when the user moves the mouse cursor over the button before user clicks it. There is no feedback for the user after Fix Information feature has been used. The Right Click menu's Select by publisher option can display the number of apps per each publisher without correct vertical alignment. The default user interface might not display all of the found installed apps if you have over 600 installed apps. If you do, using the Screen Reader Compatible Interface solves the issue. Leftover apptype filter checkbox is shown in red font only in Dark Mode. Clicking the app's icon from the Windows Taskbar doesn't minimize/restore the app like other apps. The warning about an app that user wishes to uninstall being related to some other app user did not select can sometimes be inaccurate. If app's language is changed without restarting Uninstalr, the list of installed software might not automatically refresh. When software is being uninstalled, the UI can say it is processing paths unrelating to the uninstalled app. This is purely cosmetic and does not mean these paths are removed. Uninstalr might not properly detect and/or uninstall Steam games if they are installed to a drive different than Steam's default location in C:\. You might see "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed" error message from Windows Installer during uninstallation. This is a cosmetic issue.
