I had an alert set up on a popular UK deals website and happened to be using my phone at the time. Deals like this don't tend to last long, and aren't always honoured, as they're a result of a retailer error. In this case, further compensation was issued due to delivery problems, hence the...

I also belong to the small group that managed to grab a brand new 4070 Ti for circa £460 due to a retailer misprice lately. Whilst the 12GB VRAM might become an issue in the future, I'm hoping to upgrade to a 5070 in 2025, depending on the price/performance of the 5000 series. There's nothing...

It's apparent that none of the TVs currently on the market are able to support all features of the new consoles. LG OLEDs come the closest to full support, but the VRR issue could be a long-term problem.

There is a problem with that as Xbox Series X has directML Machine Learning upscaling that could be used in the future to improve fidelity of 1440p/120 games to 4k/120 output. If your TV is limited to the 4k/60 output, you won't be able to see the benefits of console upscaling, as your TV will...

Microsoft UK order:

What does your tracking with UPS say specifically? According to a user on reddit that supposedly works for UPS UK, they don't work on Sundays and they're expecting deliveries from Microsoft tomorrow morning, which means packages should go through sorting to delivery centres by 3:30 PM tomorrow...

Has anyone had any movement on their Microsoft UK order yet, beyond getting a tracking number with UPS? Mine's been saying "Shipper created a label, UPS has not received the package yet." on the UPS tracking website since 11/07/2020 10:07.

In case it helps anyone, I've just done the whole process of purchasing Xbox Live Gold 12 Months (Brazil) from CdKeys and converting it into Xbox GamePass Ultimate whilst having an existing Xbox Game Pass for PC subscription. I've previously used Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate £1 trials...

Xbox Series X with GamePass now and PS5 in a couple of years for exlusives only. GamePass Ultimate is an excellent value for me, as I don't find all that much time to play games any more and paying the same amount yearly I would pay for a single game for an access to a huge catalogue of games...

Not a great result with my early batch 3600. This is with an Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo cooler with the CPU topping at 65 degrees on the benchmark run. Memory is G.Skill Ripjaws running with the default XMP profile.

Found a brochure for the 2017 BMW M140i. https://www.group1auto.co.uk/pdf/bmw-1-series-hatch-pricelist.pdf Looks like the "standard" Cruise Control with Brake Function doesn't even come as standard with the M140i (unless this was changed in later model years), and you need the Driver Comfort...

Locking in to monthly payments before 60k miles is the best way to avoid it. In fact, when considering a replacement BMW I've started looking at mileage differently and seeing when I would get to that 60k and whether I could squeeze in an extra year or two of fixed annual payments for the...

Easy to check the warranty cost increases based on the model and mileage on the below website. The payments normally double on cars with anything over 60k miles and you won't be able to get a quote for a car with above 100k miles. https://www.bmw-warranty.co.uk/Login/Index Do it in incognito...

The "fun but unreliable" option - 2014 BMW 328i M-Sport Touring (241hp) with 87k miles: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201911254729019 The "sensible" option - 2013 Skoda Octavia 2.0 VRS TSI DSG (217hp) with 65k miles...

I don't understand why this is a warning to potential buyers of the hybrid. The below is a more balanced article that shows the most obvious pros and cons of getting the 330e. As pointless as it seems to a lot of people, I think it may have some appeal to drivers who do a lot of short journeys...

Looking at the current listings on AT, put it up for £9k and be prepared to let it go for something closer to £8k. Most buyers won't care if it's a 535d or a 530d as they both come with the same N57 engine. But the high spec may offset the rather high mileage on your car. But as Fox said...

Whilst I would be personally put off by the lack of pro nav on the car, I think the biggest issue is how close it is in price to cars available from traders, often with fewer miles on the clock.

How about ~40% off (OTR £44k) a 1 year old 530d SE with next to no miles on it? https://usedcars.bmw.co.uk/vehicle/201905218180447 Or 43% off (OTR £52k) a 530d M-Sport Touring. https://www.sytner.co.uk/bmw/car-search/10946716-1307632-bmw-5-series-530d-m-sport-5dr-auto/ Do these always drop...

These figures are very close to what I get in my F10 530d. Admittedly, I am quite heavy footed and my normal commute includes a lot of start/stop traffic which ruins the fuel economy in a diesel. I've managed over 50 mpg on relaxed motorway journeys before. Been very tempted to ditch my barge...

If you want something reliable and avoid having any issues, as having a lease car is no different to having a car under approved used warranty in that respect, you might as well cross the Benz and Audi out of that list. I would strongly consider a Lexus RX/NX if you can find one within your...
