I'm getting that problem too, Pheee, but only on flOw. I managed to activate and download a LittleBigPlanet costume on my US account.

Maybe it's just a temporary issue. On the plus side, it shows up in the download list, so it has been bought, so maybe go back after the promotion ends then try to download it.

Oh, the crafty *******, I just went onto my US account to try and download flOw again, and it's disappeared from my download list. :(

While I'm here, Flower is on offer on the PlayStation Store for just ?2.39 until the 18th. I bought it yesterday, and it's pretty relaxing. :)

Yeah I'm getting it in-store, phoning in just to check they have them before hand and hopefully pre-order, I have a ?10 HMV gift voucher.

Just noticed this has gone up to ?42.99 on the HMV website for the special edition, sucks as I'm guessing that will be carried over to instore. Preorders stay the same.

heavy rain for ?34.14 at lovefilm with the discout code "FEB10"...

might just have to pre-erder it at this price. apologies if already posted.

God of War 3 is also ?34.14 when using the same coupon.

Current cheapest place is thegamecollection ?33.99 :)

You can get it for ?32.99 here. Although I have never heard or used either TheGameCollection or JackOfAllGames sites.

Thanks guys, JackOfAllGames has a bad rep, I'll go investigate TheGameCollection :)

To be honest, I would skip both of them and just spend that little extra and order from Amazon.co.uk for ?34.99 (Y)

Amazon charges for delivery, would just go for HMV - http://hmv.com/hmvweb/simpleMultiSearch.do?searchUID=&pGroupID=-1&adultFlag=false&primaryID=0&simpleSearchString=god+of+war+3

Super saver/free delivery ftw (Y) I've waited this long for God of War 3, a few more days won't hurt ;) Besides, I'm still waiting on my PS3 + Heavy Rain to arrive yet (/me pokes Play & HDNL).

Aside from the fact America get's it on the 16th, you telling me to wait a few more days?!

:p

To take a risk and save £1 I just ordered from TheGameCollection, wish me luck (Y) :laugh:

I am, yes :p (I'm sure there is a joke about Scots and patience there somewhere). I will have plenty to entertain me until my copy arrives. Heavy Rain as I've mentioned and currently somewhere in the air I've got a GOW: Collection winging its way to me from Canada :D

Sneaky-Ninjaah-Edit* Whats the betting your copy gets lost in the post :rofl: Never heard of TheGameCollection, wouldn't touch them with a barge pole!

Auch I found enough praise on the internet, there were some dodgy responses, but I'm as skint as can be right now with Yakuza 3 also coming out and a holiday to save for in 2 months. Worse thing that happens is I get my copy late/don't get it and get refunded.

I'll take one for the team and see what happens :p

Audio, I have used thegamecollection before, it was about 3 years ago but I didn't have a bad experience with them. So you should be fine, I wouldn't be as brave as you though ;)

Still have my preorder on at Game as they have never let me down before and it's only ?36.99 or something, hurray for ordering when it first appeared, I love the price promise guarantee.

Looking around for the best PS3 deal...

Sony PlayStation 3 PS3 Slim Console with 250GB HDD + Heavy Rain = ?269.99 seems like a good'un to me. Considering SimplyGames.co.uk have just the 250GB for ?262.84 (including delivery).

Edit* Went for the Play one (Y)

And it just arrived! (Y)

    • I've been using MWB Premium for a number of years so that along with Windows updates and updated browser should be fine. Thanks for that.
    • For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.
    • So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
