****! 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.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
