Our neowin Clubs have gone, and it's ?3.99 to create clubs now :angry::

"At the moment there is no ongoing charge for running a Club but, in the future, we will introduce a fee (to be determined), which will be due every 30 days. We will not start charging a recurring fee earlier than 31st March 2009."

Who's gonna stump up for the "Official Neowin Club"?

They said clubs would cost a few weeks back when the beta kicked off.

I don't mind helping out towards one if we get a big enough NW base, but I'll hold out for now till things smooth out and we see how useful clubs could be.

32 people is the maximum that can join a club, 1 owner and 4 sub-owners I think.

Whats so special about a club that classifies it as premium content...?

Just wondering... not trolling

Not entirely sure all that's planned for them so far.

From the beta it was like a clan hideout.

Like an apartment, but it's called the clubhouse and up to 32 club members can occupy it at a time. Whoever buys it is clubleader, and you can have 4 sub-leaders.

There's a calendar and other stuff attached to update members. And in the beta there was a whiteboard... omgzzz! Haha.

Basically it looks like something that's clan/group orientated.

At the moment the maximum amount of people you can get in an apartment is 16.

I do think Neowin should have an official club though. Possibly run buy a member of staff?

I'd chip in

I've just been paid recently so we'll see :p

I'd rather get an idea of how many people on NW will actually first of all

a) Use their PS3 (we have a lot of actives in the PS3 forum who don't actually play games on their PS3s or even use it)

and

b) Have somewhat of an interest in Home, at least enough to say they'll use or keep track of the service if they ain't that keen just now

Cause if we only have like 6 potential members, it's not worth it :p There's a reason it's at a 32 cap!

Until I know more about clubs and their future potential, I'm a bit reluctant to pay for one as well. Fair enough there's no potential monthly fee till next year, but does that mean next year is when the big updates to them are planned?

Okay, I checked my bank balance and as I said just paid.

So, Neowin club, just search for "Neowin"

Only going to accept invites from people who actually use their PS3, as the club fills up at 32.

But to be honest I don't even know if we have 32 active PS3 NW members :laugh:

Just in case I can't sign in tonight, keep me a spot saved lol.

You think Home is THAT popular around here? LOL :laugh:

I'll hand out free booze to everyone if we reach 32 members by Christmas.

By the way it took me ages to get signed in :(

    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
    • It's growing on me, however, your right, it make better usability sense if the tabs were bellow the address bar.
    • Qwen 3.6 is better value per dollar, and you can run it locally for free.
    • I don't believe them that anyone using threads, at least meaningfully. It's the same thing for Facebook, people just don't engage with Meta platforms like they are thinking. This isn't 2006.
