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.

Yeah the site is legit in the sense that is used Visa Secure and what not, it's just reliability I need to deal with now I suspect (in other words getting the game day 1).

And it just arrived! (Y)

Welcome and enjoy :D

I need another Dual Shock 3 controller, any good deals or prices going around?

Sold one the other day for ?28 on eBay, had bought 4 from Sony Style when they were doing them for ?18 each.

Not sure of any decent offers on them at the moment, always seem to be in the ?35 bracket but can often find them at ?30 on eBay.

Cheers! Just setup up the PS3 to play music from my WHS box (Y) God, I love having new bits of kit to mess with! :cool:

Now, I saw a God of War 3 dynamic theme floating around somewhere, but I couldn't find it on the PSN Store...?

Comes with Ultimate/Special edition, might be sold separately eventually.

To be honest though, no one can own a PS3 and not own the Flower dynamic theme, it's beautiful and has all the bells and whistles - Day to Night cycle, lots of wee animations and custom sounds (IMO :p).

Found FF13 on Zavvi for ?34.95

FF13 Pre-order the game and enter code PLAY10 which takes 10% off the original price of ?34.93. = ?31.44 @ TheHut

Yakuza 3 ?34.73 same thing works out to ?31.26

Oh I could marry you! :p

TheHut delivered to me on release day last time so I have faith.

TheHut are credible then?

Yeah, I can vouch for them. I bought Lips Number One Hits from them last week. They're slow when it comes to delivery, though. They said it would take 3-5 days for delivery, but it took 6 days to arrive (I ordered it last Thursday and it arrived this morning).

Personally I'd go with ShopTo, even if it's just a few quid more.

They're fine for pre-orders as they send them out early, normal delivery though on items in stock is very similar to PLAY delivery. I think The Hut operate out of Jersey as well.

Hmm, I don't think so. The returns address on my receipt was an English address, and on the bottom of their website:

? 2010 TheHut.com - Registered in England No. 5016010. Registered office: TheHut.com Ltd, Meridian House, Gadbrook Park, Rudheath, Northwich, Cheshire, UK, CW9 7RA

I just checked around, and that address is of The Hut Group, which is responsible for a lot of online sites:

TheHut

Zavvi

Sendit

Asda Entertainment

Tesco Entertainment

Dixons Entertainment

Currys Entertainment

Borders

WHSmith Entertainment

LoveFilm Retail

I think they're just cheap and lazy when it comes to delivery. :p Play.com are sort of excused as they actually are based in Jersey. ShopTo are registered in London, but their items come from Bracknell, in Berkshire. They're pretty generous when it comes to delivery anyway. I like now that you can choose not to have to sign for the item now, but I wish I did that with Mass Effect 2, as I had to wait an extra day for it because of that.

Ahhh true that's the connection.

Their hubs are all linked with so many sites delivery is usually always 3-5 days. However as I said the two pre-orders I had with them came on release day, release day is fine for me if I save money.

Just fyi, TheGameCollection & JackofallGames are both safe to buy from.

Yeah? **** I could've saved another £1 laugh.gif

No way to cancel pre-orders on TheGameCollection manually though.

TheGameCollection does seem the more professional of the sites though, especially as it uses GoW3's actual boxart pinch.gif

I wouldn't be so sure about JOAG. I ordered a PS3 laser from them on February 19 (payment taken around then, too) and it has only just been posted to me today.

Yeah I seen far more bad write ups about it than the other site.

:(

eBay seems to have them for ?30 with p&p on top making them around same as most online shop prices!

PLus there seems to be many fakes/replicas on there.

I guess I will keep hunting unless someone will sell me one cheap! :innocent:

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
