Did anyone else order from Tesco & receive this email last week?

Dear Andrew,

Due to circumstances beyond our control there is a delay in despatching the item listed below. The new estimated despatch date is listed next to the item.

What delay? :unsure:

STUNT ARENAS?!?!?! How the hell did I miss that?! :woot: :woot: :woot:

Been known for ages bro rofl.gif

?These innovations are twinned with the option to join millions of like-minded individuals globally within the Gran Turismo community and to find a driving experience to suit, whether that is taking on the Top Gear test track, chucking cars around stunt arenas, go-karting, creating and sharing your own track or intense head-to-head races. Who, where and what to drive is completely down to the individual.?

Trailer for Qore, no mention of Stunt Arenas but at least they're talking to the US producers, hope +1 :p

I guess there is a month left, probably need to wait another 10-15 days for some more new info.

Haha, I love that ad. :)

I wish I could go back in time to being a kid and have that many toy cars!

By the way is anyone else stupid enough to be getting the Signature Edition like myself, through throwing away their own cash or someone elses?

I almost ordered it, but I got real in the end. I'll be just as happy with the regular edition. The only way I'd truly be happy with having the Signature Edition is if I actually won the SLS AMG! :p

With the nut jobs over on GTPlanet and their £10,000 wind/air/gravel and pine cone infused space capsule in-house driving chairs none of us regular joes are going to do good enough in-game to win that competition.

RC car with camera and microphone! I already have plans ...

It probably has a range of 3 metres. Stand outside womens changing rooms?

Haha, true. It's not always the case though. Sometimes, you can be the best with just a gamepad. That's how one my gaming buddies won a Nissan 350Z (he couldn't afford the insurance on it though, so he sold it, and bought himself an Alfa Romeo MiTo). Didn't work for me though, I came 37th out of 50 in that final, and ended up with a Need for Speed Mini Scalextric set. :p

Well anyway, that means I can do OMG NEOWIN UNBOXING of the GT5 Sig Edition, and maybe even make front page news alongside the unboxing of a USB stick article.

Yeah don't worry I won't be doing anything else other than whatever track/car combo it is we need to use 24/7 from release. It's all about shaving seconds, shaaaaving them.

True. I did that as well, but the annoying bit is that when I got to the event, they did it with pretty much all of the assists turned on, and I was playing with almost everything off, where I could get about 58 seconds round Brands Hatch Indy in a 350Z, when at the actual event, I ended up doing a lowly 1:02. I was faster at the local qualifier. :p

I guess this time it's GT though, probably mandatory to use professional physics and all assists off. That's what the time trial competition released a while back was.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

      We do it all the time on our IT Service desk mailbox to add a reference, in the subject line, once it's been logged and then it's filed into the appropriate sub-folder. Other companies probably do the same thing.
