I have pre-orders of games both on xbox and Ps3 and will decide nearer the time which platform to get them on. lol

Well, you've only got a few days to decide, as the game's coming out on the 12th, and if you've pre-ordered online, you've got even less time.

Simply get it on which console you use most, it doesn't really make a diference which console you get it on; it's gonna be identical.

well FF XIII I have only ordered on Ps3, but I got other games pre-order on both consoles.

Sometimes it makes a difference, like Bayonetta, DarkSiders for example.

Oh I could marry you! :p

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

Forgot to add I got ?4.39 quidco from this as well, essentially making both titles under ?30 :D

Don't go to cancel and re-do though, that PLAY10 code was a 24 hour code only, and only for PS3 games.

Yep I did quidco as well, so should make this under ?30, thats it not changing this order now, seems to be best deal...

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.

Trust me, I know people IRL who've bought from them. It's not exactly gonna have the same working force as the bigger sites, but they are legit.

I wasn't saying they weren't legit, but they're hardly the most efficient company I've bought from.

Anyway, my laser arrived and my PS3 is back up and running.

I thought that is a good deal! 17 left, ?205 gets you a brand new 250GB Slim PS3.

Now whether or not it's a scammer is up to you. I'm giving it a try, but if anything goes wrong, I am sure eBay should be able to fix it.

Well it's going through paypal as well, so I really do doubt its a baiting scam.

Yeah, I found that out the hard way =P. He refunded me on PayPal, so it doesn't seem to be any problem and worst case scenario is I contact eBay to sort it out. I've already bought my PS3 from another seller for around the same price. (?229 with 10% discount and free shipping).

Now I'm just looking for good games to go with it and maybe a controller (Found some nice red or white ones on eBay too). I've already bought FFXIII and LBP which should get me on a good start. Thinking of getting WipeOut HD from PSN as well.

But so far Mass Effect has pulled my attention quite a bit, so I might let the PS3 collect some dust for a while.

If you are thinking of getting Wipeout it's also now available on BR-Disc with the Fury DLC @ Game ?16.99

White Knight Chronicles - ?27.99 @ The Game Collection

Hoping this price holds till Monday which is payday. Give me something to play after FF13 and GOW3 :)

Ordered yesterday lunchtime and arrived today :) Not bad in terms of delivery! Will pop it on tonight and check it out for a bit.

    • Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.
    • 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.
    • 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 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
    • 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.
