I wouldn't get your hopes up, as this one turned up about a month after the ?10 ended.

Oh did it? Seemed much shorter than that. Never mind eh!

I'll stick with my ShopTo pre-orders then (might cancel and re-do them via txt to get an extra ?1 in the account).

Nice to see retailers undercut the RRP, ?20 is fairly generous.

Wonder if it will ever get near ?199 in retail... I might bite at that price.

My mate is manager at blockbuster and they are going to be giving away retail copies of arkham asylum with their ps3 slims at ?250 in store only at blockbuster this tuesday.

I know it should have gone in the deals section but figured this to be such a good deal anyone in UK would want to know about it.

Enjoy. Ohh they also do ?260 plus ANY game but thats pants if you ask me. You can just return arkham asylum for infamous or something straight swap, which I'm going to do as Ive already completed arkham asylum on 360 and must say its the greatest f'n game this year!

Its just the fact that I acknowledged that thread in my post. He didn't contribute anything at all to my thread you know. Its just going to cause arguements, the real mod may aswell just lock this now before it gets out of hand.

I thought it was a pretty ice cold deal and a lot of people might benefit from it.

I originally ordered my console ?250 online with nothing. I've since cancelled to pick up this baby on tuesday.

I think you're overreacting a little. As for whatLivin in a box >said, there's no rule stating that you have to post any deals pertaining to the PS3 or PS3 games in that thread. Heck, it may even be better to create a new topic about it. That way, people can find it easily rather than having it get lost in the sea of posts within the deal thread. Anyway, let's just forget about it.

I think it's a great deal. It's better than buying a PS3 with no game(s) at all. And according to my brothers,Batman: Arkham Asylum >is an amazing game. We managed to get a copy while it was on sale for 56% of the suggested retail price.

I think the PS3 has exclusive Joker DLC, so maybe you want to keep it for PS3 and sell the 360 version?

Yes, it does have the Joker as a downloadable character; however, you can only play as him in challenge maps. Plus, he beat the game already. He might as well get inFAMOUS.

I was going to add something constructive in my post, but I pressed the post button too early. No need to get mad over it TBH.

It's a pretty good deal; I've played a bit of the demo, and it was OK.

Does the world trust ShopTo again yet? I'm not sure what to think. But then again I've heard of people getting stung via a leak at Play.com so it seems that nowhere is safe anymore. :/

I'm pretty bitter over getting done for fraud, but to be honest these sorts of things will rarely happen twice and I will most likely use ShopTo again. When they have a good price you cannot beat free next day delivery compared to the slow ass speeds of Play/Asda/The Hut and all the others.

Plus if you're wanting a Slim they're by far the best deal at ?230.

If you don't trust ShopTo, slim for ?229.99 here

http://shop.gameplay.co.uk/webstore/produc...gb_slim_console

Although to be honest the deals at ?250 with a free game/movie are probably better value for money.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      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
