Damn looks like I'll be getting EyePet then :laugh: I read the EU bundle was retailing for like 50/60 euros with camera?! :|

As AT said, I'd like to see how head tracking in GT5 works. Not pre-ordering till after TGS and I see how good it is.

It's cheaper at Shopto (by a whopping 10p) and you won't be waiting for delivery for 1 month :p

http://www.shopto.net/page.php?page=dettag...;codart=PS3EY02

Can't say I've ever had issues with play for preorders although accept they do have them. Got my Limited Edition MGS4 on the day of release. Hadn't checked shopto and know that some people have issues with their history.

Still seems cheap to be including the camera though :)

Yeah it's a gamble trusting Shopto again with CC details.

And why get the game on day of release when you can get it 2 days before :p lol

I'm going to wait for EyePet to drop price before buying it. I know it's not going to keep me entertained for long, so I'm not paying full price for it. Hopefully there is another ?10 glitch on Game to use soon. Then I'll prob order it.

Nah I doubt it, it was a shambles what happened but I don't think a slip up of that momentum will happen again. If only they allowed paypal :/

At least ours was caught, pretty harsh what happened to Sethos LOL.

Someone booked plane tickets to like Egypt or something :rofl:

Oh dear, my CC got cancelled by my bank because it's details were found in a fraud watch! Shopto was the only internet site that I had my CC details on. Havne't ordered from them in a year I don't think.

Anyone know where I could get Batman at the cheapest price? Tempted to get it on the PS3 cause of the DLC stuff.

just to re-iterate a new GAME code that MightyJordan has posted on the xbox 360 offers page. ?5 off orders over ?50 codelastminute09b>

happy shoppin:):)

Oh yeah, thanks for posting that! I forgot to post it in the PS3 section. I might be spreading it a bit too much though, as I also posted it in the NFS Shift thread yesterday:p:p

The exploit still works too apparently.

Damn right it does!:p:p I used the exploit to get NFS Shift for ?35, Stoked for ?25, Tekken 6 for ?30, BLUR for ?35, and MGS Rising for ?35. All over the past 24 hour:p#33; :p

They are already aware of the glitch and people exploiting it. Spreading it now won't make a difference, so go nuts and tell anybody you like or post it in every topic :p

FYI, you don't need to use the glitch for StokEd, it's already less than ?25 on lots of e-tailer sites. But keep the Game preorder as you'll receive reward points. Just letting you know in case Game cancel it.

The shopto thing wasn't actually shopto:

My name is David Fennell I am the technical director here at ShopTo. It has been brought to my attention recently by a few customers that they believe we are the cause of fraudulent activity on their credit cards based on nothing more that the fact they have recently purchased from us (even if we were not the last place they have used the card). So we have decided to make a statement explaining the real causes of card fraud and what you can do about them.

From what we can tell there seems to have been several major credit card leaks in late 2008 and in the early part of 2009, these credit cards are now making their way into the market and it seems that nobody can guarantee their card is secure even if it has never been used online.

One of the most widely published leaks was the caching of 19000 credit cards by Google back in March 2009 which was claimed to have been from a gateway but later shown to have come directly from card issuers. For some reason our name got attached to some posts regarding this leak but we cannot fathom why that would be, it is simple enough for us to prove it's nothing to do with us as there are American Express cards in the list and we do not take American Express as a form of payment.

Since then a much larger leak has been reported from a "clearing house" called "Heartland Payment", the details of this seem to have been tightly controlled and no exact numbers have been released but I understand they are used by both Visa and Mastercard and *millions* of cards could have been compromised. On top of this the BBC did a report on how easy it is to purchase credit card details in India, details which have been taken by staff at the call centers out there, call centers which are used by uk phone companies:

BBC NEWS | UK | Overseas credit card scam exposed

Switched ... ght-lipp/4

http://www.thetechherald.com/article.ph ... -breached-

ShopTo.net Customers Beware - weebls-stuff forums

The last link is an example of someone falsely blaming us then actually finding out the real source of the problem - unfortunately this is all too rare and most customers never really know how their card details were leaked. When looking over a credit card statement for "likely suspects" is seems many people will blame us because we are a smaller company however this is a very bad assumption, it is actually the larger companies who have massive call centers where it is easy for someone to remain anonymous and quietly sit in a corner taking down card numbers.

On top of this there are a number of a number of computer viruses (trojans) which are particularly prevalent at the moment that can steal your credit card information from your computer when you enter them into a website. We would suggest all Internet users make sure your virus scanner is up to date and always use a modern browser when shopping online.

From all this it appears if you have not been issued a new credit card in the last few months, you could be at risk of unauthorised transactions even if you have never used the card either online or in person. Regrettably, the only course of action available to credit card holders is to ask your card issuer for a new card, it may be inconvenient but it will not cost you anything and may stop problems in the future.

At ShopTo our focus is very much on the customer and that of protecting them in every way possible, without you we would not exist. If you have read the security sections on our site you will know that we do not store credit card details - they are all stored at our payment gateway "ProTx" (currently changing it's name to "SagePay") and a "repeat transaction" system is used when a purchase is made. Even in the event that someone did manage to illegally gain access our system there are no credit card details for them to take - this is a statement that very few online retailers can make.

We have recently puchased and implemented the highest level SSL secure certificate available - an "Extended Verification Pro" Certificate from VeriSign. This certificate not only offers 256bit transactional security to modern browsers but also forces old browsers to use 128bit transfer when with other certificates they may use 60 or even only 40 bit encryption.

ShopTo acknowledges the frustration and hurt that can be caused when a customers card details are stolen and misused, but at the same time, we do not feel that any of our own systems, software or method of processing orders has led to or assisted in the theft or misuse of any data. Rest assured that ShopTo will always strive to be at the cutting edge of systems that safeguard customers transactional and personal data, whether that be the first or multiple repeat transactions. If anyone reading this has or knows of any evidence that can confirm a problem with our security we would urge them to contact our customer support immediately and pass this information on so we can take steps to rectify it.

We thank all our loyal customers who have been trying to defend us in the forums and thank you all for your continued custom that has made ShopTo the largest independant retailer of computer games in the UK.

Regards,

Dave Fennell

Technical Director

That's what I read that made me wonder. I haven't ordered from ShopTo in a while, but that does seem like it's as secure as it's ever gonna get. But still, PayPal is a nice addition - didn't notice that they accepted that now.

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

    • Uninstalr 3.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      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.

      I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years

      Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I always do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions relays before defining it.
