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.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
