USA%20X360%20Offers%20Logo.png

DrunknMunky has a UK topic because he hates Yanks so I thought I'd start a thread with any deals I find for Xbox owners across the pond. I'll try to keep it updated so please don't flame if you try a link and the deal is no longer valid, just bring it to my attention. Most of these will come from Slickdeals.net and some will be PS3 also.

What do you guys think? Should I keep editing the initial post to add the deals you guys add? I think it would make it easier than scrolling through the topic, especially later on. Also, should I strikethrough the dead deals or delete them altogether?

If you fell like doing that, it'll be great and it'll be best just to delete 'em once they expire.

7-6: Bioshock 2 $29.99 @ Newegg w/ Free Shipping

Stick to the format that is used for the UK deals thread.

I dunno... the more I see that thread the more I wished it would just have the information in the first post. I think in the old board it would lock after a while so you couldn't edit it at all but now you can. I think I'll stick to updating the first post so it's simple to find the current deals.

I prefer actually reading new posts (aka scrolling through the topic) rather than having to rely on you to update the topic with the new deals post. But that is just my opinion. I am not saying don't update the first post, that is up to you, but people should not have to rely on you to update if a great deal just gets posted and they are looking at the first post rather than the last few new posts.

This would also allow people to give +1 rep for their post and them having found it then sharing it.

I can't delete other people's posts so they'll still be there for you to +1 as much as you'd like. I will try to keep the first post updated as people post in this thread or I find a deal. Also, new people posting on this thread will bump the thread, so hopefully it'll stay near the top.

7/6-7/31 - Gamestop - Use promo code GS30 or 20FGS to save 20% on any in-stock game priced $29.99 or more + Free Ground Shipping. In-stock games only, no pre-orders

Email support if you have any issues with the code not working; Seems to be common problem. They're taking care of it right away too from what I've read.

You're creating too much work for yourself doing that. Imagine how many deals are in those 180+ pages and how much you'd have to keep on top of it to make sure they are still valid, while adding more to the pile. Plus it requires you to be a member for the indefinite future :p If for whatever reason you lose interest or you're banned then nobody else but you (or a mod of course) can edit the OP. Asking someone else to take over isn't gonna happen either imo lol.

It's messy, which is why I never cataloged them. The time is better spent finding new deals and just adding them in a new post. Or do what I do and collect a few deals at once to post.

fyi: The old board allowed you to edit the OP as much as you wanted whenever you wanted. It's not a new feature.

Good job on someone finally doing this for yanky doodles though (Y) Oh and thanks for asking for my permission to use my image/bandwidth ;) :p

Edit: Also I'm not sure if notifications can be sent when the OP is updated, or only when new comments are made. So it's not helpful to those that subscribe to topics.

The way I look at it is I'm on Neowin virtually every day... I can check this post and make the appropriate changes in about 10-15 minutes. If I keel over dead, new posts will still be added to the end and people can still scroll there to get the information. If someone other than me posts a deal, then the topic gets bumped, so the subscribers will get notified. If I make an update I'll post it at the end and edit the first post.

Oh, and don't worry about the file leeching anymore ;) The new image is much better anyways...

Great thread Ironman. I personally would like to see the deals in your OP, but that will be a crap load of work.

(what dolt rated this thread a one star?! I wish we could see who those people are)

lol :D

BTW, are you ever going to confirm me on PSN?

Alright, good luck :p

And I was kidding about the image btw, I don't mind you using it :wub: I'll even make you a US one if you like.

What? You don't like my beautiful creation? I was going to add some animated gifs of fireworks but decided against it.

Oh wait...I see it's pending response. It must be waiting for me to accept. I thought I did, lol. No matter, I will go and accept you soon. I haven't had a reason to turn on my PS3 in quite awhile. I will turn it on for that :)

Well if you're going to keep updating the OP, please don't edit the listings we post here then.. Just quote it so you can copy/paste it right down to the styling.

I was trying to keep the listing similar so they kind of look like: #date# - #product (bolded)# #price# #store#. It makes it neater in my OCD mind :p

    • OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android by Karthik Mudaliar OpenClaw, the viral open-source personal AI agent, now has its own mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Users can pair the app with an existing OpenClaw gateway and can start using new mobile-native features that are now available on the app. The app supports all the existing features you'd already have seen on OpenClaw's TUI, as well as some more, such as real-time and background Talk mode, action approvals, sharing from iOS, and optional access to device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders. These features are available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app. What's important with these apps is that they don't run OpenClaw on your phone, but are actually just companion apps that require a running OpenClaw Gateway on an existing device, on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2. To pair the app with your existing OpenClaw gateway, users need to run the command "/pair qr" on the TUI or existing chat interface, which brings up a QR code. Users can then scan this QR code to pair it up with the mobile app. There's also an option to manually pair the app by entering the host and a port. Previously, OpenClaw had been available on phones via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and others. Now, with a native mobile app, the interface is much cleaner and more focused on just the OpenClaw, of course, with the added support for camera, screen, location, and more. It's important to note that OpenClaw comes with its own security warnings. There's always a chance of prompt injection with these tools, so users are recommended to double-check authentication, tool policy, sandboxing, and execution approvals rather than prompts alone. For users well-versed with the AI harness, a native mobile app makes it easier to approve an automation, share a link, use voice, or let an agent react to phone-side context.
    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.

    • They have lots of info on me, I have a facebook account and have done so for years, it was the thing to have then. My phone number is not on it. I don't have the Facebook app on my phone these days, just the messenger part, and only for a couple of people to contact me, most will text me via SMS or phone. I agree, Meta, like others, even without an account will know something about me. Just have to try and keep some things private Also, never saw the need for Whatsapp, people used to ask for me to join it, but as I said to them, I have SMS and a phone, use that, or email
