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

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

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      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).
    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By matthiew · Posted

      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!

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      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.
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      By qbrick · Posted

      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!
