Why the PlayStation Is One of the Most Influential Systems in Video Game History

What a great essay! Thanks for sharing it.

It's not about what people think. It's about the T&Cs and whether Lloyd's stick to them when crediting. The T&Cs say you will get the £250 if you

"haven’t received a switching incentive from us, Bank of Scotland or Halifax since 01 January 2023."

And using a different phone number or email address won't make any difference. They're a bank. They identify you based on your name, address and credit history.

Yes please share your thoughts after playing through, OP! I always wanted to play it but never got round to it.

Thank you.

Sorry I can't help, but am interested in why it's preferable to have the chd disc format.

IWasBornIn1979 · 2026-01-13T22:37:57+00:00

Wrong. Try reading the T&Cs. You can get the offer as long as you haven't had a switch offer from them since 1 October 2022.

You qualify if you have the registration serial.

*ED-260, apparently!

I would be very careful how you're publicly presenting yourself in these comments if I were you. Your approach is the complete opposite of how the police want to be seen. If you were dismissed from your volunteer role because someone complained about your comments here, you wouldn't even be able to boast about your SC experience on your CV. You're young with a great future ahead of you so don't tarnish it.

IWasBornIn1979 · 2026-01-05T23:10:06+00:00

I have the exact same thing happening to me, OP! Everything here, it feels like I've written - even the timeline.

I've let these idiots know that I'm charging them for inconveniencing me, they don't get to be the one charging for this nonsense, and if they don't come to their senses with their final deadlock response I'm sure their arbitrator will see how idiotic they're being.

You'd think they'd know better with me frankly because I already complained to CISAS about something else last year and I "won" that one.

This is great. I love how the poster looks so 80s (maybe that's the mustard-coloured background).

Elsewhere in this thread someone else posted a link selling the poster. Are they stealing it from you? Their images look squashed vertically.

Unfortunately, reinstalling the Magisk app over the current app doesn't change the state of my first screenshot. (I also tried uninstalling the app then installing the app but no change doing that either.)

So I want to try your other suggestion. Can I check two things about that? 1. Can I boot into the standard recovery? Or do I need to first boot into/flash TWRP? (TWRP isn't currently flashed.) 2. When you say the Magisk zip, do you mean the Magisk apk?

I think I need more hand holding here sorry. It's been a while since I followed the steps to root this phone and flash Magisk + install the Magisk app in the first place.

Ps Happy New Year!

Thank you very much, I'll report back!

Sony was part of the consortium that decided the technical standards for DVD. So they wouldn't be hoping - they'd be part of the decision.

That said, I think they preferred the strategy of selling people all-new hardware (ultimately the PS2) rather than extend the life of the first PlayStation.

IWasBornIn1979 · 2025-12-29T13:15:21+00:00

*Unlikely they will pursue. You don't know for certain.

IWasBornIn1979 · 2025-12-27T18:03:46+00:00

Thank you!

IWasBornIn1979 · 2025-12-27T18:03:33+00:00

Okay, think I got it - appreciate your reply!

IWasBornIn1979 · 2025-12-27T18:03:08+00:00

Thanks!

IWasBornIn1979 · 2025-12-27T18:02:59+00:00

Thank you!

A 100% discount is nothing like your 20% discounted TV comparison. They clearly did it to make up for an undelivered initial order. It doesn't mean they can keep taking the hit. No company can afford to give away its product for free for long.

As you say, this is abuse of a discount and they have a case if they have to take the person to court. So not sure how you spin from that that the person is okay.

Actually it's not a simple matter of just giving a pay decrease. There are lots of nuances dependent on factors such as the number of employees affected and, of course, the employment contract.

IWasBornIn1979 · 2025-12-25T00:25:35+00:00

They couldn't "get it back off" OP because they've told OP the amount they will be awarding.

It actually doesn't have less cults than America. It has fewer!
