It looks like they fixed the MS Points price, I just bought it for 1000 points. Still a great deal though. Especially since you can get the points cards for ~%20 below their cash value.

Maybe it's region-specific. I just purchased Batman: Arkham Asylum for 880 Microsoft Points.

Just a heads up, as I'm not sure who all knows about these:

Free HL2, HL2 Lost Coast, and HL2: Deathmatch for ATI users.

Also for Nvidia users:

HL2 isn't free.

For those of you planning on purchasing Supreme Commander 2, you get $5 USD off if you pre-purchase it through Steam (i.e. get it today). Not exactly an earth-shattering discount, but if you already want the game, then you have a free lunch on the day it comes out ;).

Steam

Games on Demand (Games for Windows Live)

Can we get this moved into Gaming, and stuck?

So it can be like, for ALL Gaming purposes.. ?

There's already a thread for the Xbox 360 and PS3 in their respective forums. A special offers and deals thread for all platforms would be too confusing.

My friend has been begging me to get L4D2 for months. Told him yesterday that when it goes on sale again I would get it. Open mouth, insert foot. I'm $24.99 poorer.

It is too awesome of a game to pass up at that price! I was anxiously waiting for the price to drop a month or so back, but it was still too new of a game.

Needless to say I bought it anyways and it has been a blast ever since.

Video gaming is the best value when it comes to interactive entertainment. If you $25 for Left 4 Dead 2 and play ~20-30 hours, you're paying $1/hour to play the game.

Nothing beats Steam and Amazon for gaming deals.

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      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.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      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.

      "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.
