3D Dot Heroes is only ?20 at shopto

3D Dot Heroes

Bargain i think. Especially for people who think it is more of a PSN game.

I would never ever buy from shopto again. Bought from them once and had my card cloned because of it - thousands of others report the same thing.

As far as I am aware this was due to the card verifier and not down to Shopto. You could have been shopping at Play.com or Amazon and the same could of occurred.

No it really was Shotpo. If you read forums all over the net including here at Neowin, there is far too many people who bought from them at the same time for it to be someone else.

The common denominator always came back to Shopto. Which of course they denied.

AudioBoxer & I were both victims around July/August last summer. There was someone else but I forget who.

Definitely was shopto - the card verification was not at fault, and long discussions with other shoppers all had shopto in common. It's happened more than once with them too, in fact they seem to have security breaches twice a year from what some people have found out.

You can use PayPal on ShopTo now, kind of removes any worries about card cloning. Didn't they also upgrade everything after that fiasco?

Yeah they did. I think in situations like this you should judge a company not on what they do wrong but how efficiently they put it right. In the months since that incident I've used them many times and I've had nothing but good things to say about them.

Zavvi.com have the best Console bundle in the UK that I can find, PS3 Slim 120gb with Red Dead Redemption for £249.99. Everywhere else is at least £20-30 higher if adding both console and a £40 valued game. They've been out of stock for a while now though and show it to be estimated at the 17th in my order.

Yeah, I think it's pretty cheap over there at ShopTo, especially for that starter pack. Still, Move is a bit expensive though...They should have made it cheaper to compete with the Wiimote more.

If anyone spots a good deal on a 2.5" drive, please let me know. Sub-£50 preferably.

My PS3's 60GB has less than 4GB left. No idea how there's so much space eaten up, it's not like I have the largest collection among PS3 owners.

Any word on GT5/LBP2 install sizes?

    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By Asgardi · Posted

      You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂

      Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
