Well the first review I've found isn't...

64/100 - http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2...ter.html?cat=19

Not heard of the site though.

Hardly a review :/ he wasted almost 2 pages discussing what is FPS. I think NDA is till this saturday, we won't see any actual reviews till then.

Correction: It is not a review. Just a re-hash of already known information. I guess he was gunning for page views. Doesn't even look like he played the game.

On the flip-side, I am not expecting very glowing reviews for ODST. Everyone knows this is a re-hash and engine is old therefore, graphics won't be "top-notch".

Cannot wait to play this game. Also if we get ODST, is our Halo 3 disc rendered useless because i hear that Disc 2 of ODST is just Halo 3 but with new maps included. There should be an option IMO to install the maps from the disc like the Halo 2 Map Packs. I guess they don't want people swapping and sharing the discs?

I prefer that all the maps are on one disk, dunno about anyone else but the downloadable map packs took forever to load when i started Halo 3, i had to go into forge, go to map selection and then wait 20 seconds as they loaded. This way they will all load when the disk loads.

Anyone else excited that ODST has ended up as kind of a Firefly convention as Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin, and Alan Tudyk are all in it in their Firefly character types?

Nope. Firefly was ****.

(And yes, I realise that I'm probably the only person on the planet who thinks this).

Yes, I believe I mentioned this a few pages back. It's awesome if you ask me!

And yeah you probably are! Firefly was/is an amazing show.

Lets say a little birdy showed me the full LE Box. Its looks cool and the controller looks awesome. I like it better then the halo 3. The tech drawings plus labels and etc just make it look much more cooler / feel like your in the game. Its weighted and everything.

Lets just say this same birdy saw NO extras. So its only reserve orders, how unlucky for the people that have been lately coming in to reserve it. But oh well live with the game.

Now, cant wait for midnight launch. Im gonna be working, but I get to go home and playyy with my new controller.

No if it was just discs then every pirate would be able to join it.

It's definitely codes, every preorder I've looked at online mentions them and it was the same for Halo 3's beta.

Well GAME order failed :(

17/09/2009 Sorry, your order has failed authorisation ? call 0871 200 1221 for assistance.

Due to Voucher Glitch I assume. I probably have same issue as MightyJordan, I guess if I order a product straight it will still block me.

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors

      That made me laugh! Thank you
    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.

      Because of what they have done to VMware I will never buy anything Broadcom again.
    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      By Nick H. · Posted

      With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
