So start one!! :D It's been enough work keeping this one updated... :pc: I don't think I could keep 2 running, especially if my heart isn't in the second one... ;)

As much as I would love to, it would never go updated. I am too flighty when it comes to forum post. I am usually all over the place. Not to mention, I am not usually researching PS3 games deals. I only buy a few a year if that. :)

This is a Canadian deal, but I didn't know where else to put it: (perhaps I'll create a Canadian deal thread to compliment the UK and US ones ;))

12 Month Xbox Live Gold Subscription Card is 10% off from Future Shop as part of their online Labour Day sale. The sale is going on now and it ends on Tuesday morning (10 AM EST). I just ordered one for myself.

Again, sorry for posting this here, I realize it probably doesn't belong here, but it probably doesn't justify its own thread either.

From what I can see, no one's mentioned pre-ordering Halo Reach and receiving 500 Gamer Club points, with Best Buy.

500 points = $10 certificate, I think.

Best Buy is giving a $20 gift card with Halo Reach, which is a better deal. Also, Walmart and Amazon are offering $20 gift cards with your preorder.

Best Buy is giving a $20 gift card? I haven't heard of that one. Do you mean if you buy it on release day, instead of preordering?

That xbox live promotion almost sounds good until you read the fine print. You agree to automatically renew for one more year after that at whatever price they happen to be charging at that time.

Maybe I'm just reading it wrong, but I don't think you have to auto renew at the end of your first year, if you don't want to. I think it's just telling you that if you don't cancel by the end of the first year, then it will auto-renew at whatever the price is at the time ($60, I'm guessing). But you can also choose to cancel your subscription before that auto-renew kicks in just like you've always been able to. In other words, you just won't continue to receive the discounted price of $29.99 after your year is up, should you choose to continue your subscription.

It doesn't seem to be suggesting anything different than it's always been - but again, I may just be understanding it incorrectly.

In that case sounds good. I am just usually wary about fine print, hehe.

And I am not a big fan of using my CC directly in the console.

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      By grik · Posted

      Glad im on the right boat. Tidal has lots of issues in terms of app and music mix, its worst than spot but its honest. Spot algo is very tendentious and they pess less to artists, so im comfortable with the tidal errors, for now.
    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says by David Uzondu Image via Tidal Tidal has announced an AI policy aimed at protecting artists and their crafts, as AI music generation tools continue to improve both in speed and quality. According to the music streaming platform, AI-generated music will be accepted, but these tracks will be held to a "higher standard" of content integrity. Next month, the company plans to auto-identify and tag these uploads. Listeners will spot a special icon next to content that algorithms flag as 100% AI-generated starting mid-July, and the platform hopes to expand this tag to partially generated songs as detection tech improves. Any AI music that exploits an artist's voice or likeness will be taken down, and Tidal will immediately block tracks associated with fraudulent activity, which includes artificial streaming and deceptive content that interferes with real creators. And finally, music that's 100% AI-generated will not be monetized. Tidal said there is "ongoing debate" about whether certain licensed synthetic models deserve payouts, so it's possible that this part will change in the future. Streaming platforms are absolutely getting flooded with AI-generated music because of how easy it is to pump out endless tracks every minute. To give you an idea of how "bad" it is, Deezer alone reported that synthetic uploads now make up about 44% of its daily intake, which translates to roughly 75,000 automated tracks hitting its servers every single day. Interestingly, Deezer found most people cannot tell the difference between human and machine creations, with an Ipsos study revealing that 97% of listeners failed to spot the AI-generated tracks. Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music. The Swedish platform partnered with Universal Music Group to test "legal and controlled" generative AI tools that let subscribers remix songs with AI.
