In fact the game requires Steam to play according to direct2drive.

"This product is not eligible for refunds. This title installs and requires STEAM to play."

Also using the code BUNNY in the US, and RABBIT in other places will get you 25% off on direct2drive until Monday. Yay sales. To bad direct2drive has the lamest pre order bonus, but whatever, it's 25% off. :laugh:

Bought that a few nights ago. The pre-order bonuses are all crappy spread across different retailers. I just went for this one because of the 25% discount.

Thanks for the heads up! Just pre-ordered it from Direct2Drive. Never thought I would use D2D for something, but that's a pretty sweet discount indeed. :)

Still not sure how much staying potential this game is going to have, but I'm willing to take a leap of faith with Splash Damage. I'm in the mood for a PC FPS right now anyways (moreover, a PC FPS that isn't TF2 or BC2).

I'm actually flat broke right now so I can't order it, sadly. I will have to wait another week before I can. :cry:

Should be less than 2 weeks now right?

Also, I don't know if it's been said but apparently we will be able to run our own dedi servers, and for free. First fps game in a long time that's allowed that I think?

And also it will be available for pre load on Steam:

That's probably old news though. Also Steam says it will be available May 9th, not the 10th.

Yep. A lot of games allow you to run your own dedicated servers. Unfortunately, the big titles don't (like Battlefield and Call of Duty). I'm glad the dedicated server is standalone (which means it doesn't require you to have the game).

Also, where does it say it's available on the 9th? It says the 10th for me: http://store.steampowered.com/app/22350/

The leader of my clan, intox. Gaming (some of you may know us from CSS and TF2) just informed me that our host will allow us to put a dedicated server for Brink on our box. This got me more hyped than anything :D

Can't wait to see y'all ingame. Add me @ http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/reacon if you want!

Right on the web page:

Says that in Steam and on the webpage, too.

Anyhow, we should try to set up a neowin server or something.

It must be US-only then. It says the 10th for me:

EDIT: Actually, it looks like an error. 1 week, 4 days, and 1 hour from now is the 10th, not the 9th.

won't being able to host your own dedi server make cheating more rife?

The complete opposite in fact. I'm sure there will be many communities with well moderated servers even if VAC fails to catch the cheaters.

It's actually having P2P that makes cheating more rife because there is no way to ban cheaters.

    • JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today by Sayan Sen This Amazon Prime Day 2026 sales so far we have had a couple of nice deals related to sound and audio. First we have the Sennheiser HD 600 at its lowest ever price of just $225. Next we also have the Beats Studio Pro at its lowest price ever at just $150. However perhaps you prefer your gear to sound great on a larger scale, like throughout the room. In that case an all-in-one soundbar system can help and currently JBL's BAR 800 is a great deal for sure as it's up for grabs at just $600 (purchase link under the specs table down below). One thing that should be appreciated a lot about these JBL soundbars is their spec sheet and the frequency response data it provides. The firm is honest about it as JBL confirms the subwoofer is able to go down to 35 Hz at -6dB or F6. This means it should be covering 40Hz and up very well, where most of the bass lies. You miss out on a lot of sub-bass but that is to be expected given the price point and the subwoofer driver size. Speaking of which, it is a 10-inch driver and promises a max output power of 300 watts at 1% THD (total harmonic distortion). JBL also claims the system will provide you with a "True Dolby Atmos" experience. The surround speakers are wireless and battery-powered which means setting them up should be really convenient. The technical specs of the JBL BAR 800 are given in the table below: Specification Value Channel Configuration 5.1.2-channel soundbar system Dolby Atmos Yes, with 2 up-firing drivers Total System Power Output 720 W Soundbar Power Output 340 W Surround Speaker Power Output 2 × 40 W Subwoofer Power Output 300 W Soundbar Drivers 3 × 46×90 mm racetrack drivers, 3 × 20 mm tweeters, 2 × 70 mm up-firing full-range drivers Surround Speaker Drivers 1 × 46×90 mm racetrack driver (each speaker) Subwoofer Driver 10-inch (260 mm) wireless subwoofer Frequency Response 35 Hz – 20 kHz (-6 dB) Audio Inputs Optical, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), USB* HDMI Inputs 1 HDMI video input HDMI Output 1 HDMI eARC output HDCP Version 2.3 HDR Pass-Through HDR10, Dolby Vision Bluetooth Version 5.0 Wi-Fi Version 6, 6E Streaming Services Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay, Alexa MRM Get it at the link below: JBL Bar 800-5.1.2-Channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with Detachable Surround Speakers (Black): $599.85 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days.
