Thanks, guys. I'm looking forward to some nice deals too. :p

Slickdeals.net is probably the best deals aggregator I've come across.

That may be so, but it doesn't beat going on Neowin and finding out about a Steam deal. That's what usually happens with me. I find out about a nice deal on Neowin because I happen to come across it while browsing the Computer Gaming sub-forum.

Steam:

50% off THQ Complete Pack $99.99 $49.99 USD (ends Feb. 19th)

85% off Mount & Blade $29.99 $4.99 USD (ends Feb. 15th)

70% off Quantz $9.99 $2.99 USD (ends Feb. 19th)

I would buy the THQ Complete Pack if I didn't already have Dawn of War II and Red Faction Guerrilla.

Steam:

Shattered Horizon Moonrise Free Weekend (ends Feb. 21st @ 1pm PST)

50% off Shattered Horizon - $19.99 $9.99 USD (ends Feb. 22nd)

$10 off Star Trek Online - $59.99 $49.99 USD (ends Mar. 2nd)

Steam

Direct2Drive

Free

Games For Windows Live

- Batman: Arkham Asylum - $12.49

Looks like Microsoft is going to have some incredible deals for Games on Demand. If you haven't already picked up Arkham Asylum there's no reason you should turn down this deal. It's an excellent Game. Sale starts tomorrow.

I just noticed you can buy Batman Arkham Asylum with MS Points also for even cheaper. It's only 880 points which comes out to US$11.00

Sweet! I have 1250 Microsoft Points that I haven't used since I bought my X360 back in 2006. I hope it still works.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
