:laugh: I just know EA are cheap ass ********, and no way were they going to put Crysis 2 on sale yet.

And i was somewhat on with my first prediction, although I got the games 110% completely wrong, I did say "war" related. :p

So does this sale last through the weekend, or does it end today? If it lasts through the weekend, I would say the likelihood of battlefield BC 2 and Vietnam showing up is really good, so do not lose faith just yet everyone who is holding out for it.

As the image still has Saturday: ??? and Sunday: ??? it does seem to suggest there will be another two days of EA sales.

I say it's going to be Call of Duty series sale tomorrow. It's that or my 2nd choice which would be the Dead Space series.

Only Spore or Battlefield that I can see going on sale otherwise.

probably not cause call of duty isn't made by EA

Right now direct2drive.com is having a summer sale, with the code "sizzle" you can get 25% off any games. I'm not sure if this is for the US only though. It supposedly works for pre orders as well, because they have a lot of games that aren't out yet listed.

Some notables are:

Brink & Fallout New Vegas Bundle ($48 with code):

I think we'll no doubt see a Battlefield Sale coupled with latest Medal of Honor and a C&C sale.

Shame MOH was an absolute farce and C&C got old (for me at least) after Red Alert 2/Yuri's Revenge, they were the last ones I really enjoyed.

Playing Dead Space and the controls are a bitch, can't even remap to use the number pad or arrow keys and using the mouse on the menu just makes me cringe! Found some help to change the controls elsewhere but no game should be this broken out of the box. I won't bother with the sequel at this time.

On the plus side, graphics are nice...

Just as expected. Only thing that looks interesting and that I dont have already is battlefield 2. But then again i've heard horrible things about how Steam version works with win 7 x64.

I have zero problems almost 30 hours of gameplay. Just turn off in game steam.

This sale is awesome getting BC2, BC2 Vietnam and Medal of Honor.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By matthiew · Posted

      When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      By qbrick · Posted

      Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
