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.

yay

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.

    • 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.
    • For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.
