I don't know whether it's still going, but JB Hi-fi have been selling Battlestations: Pacific for $25. It's only been out for about 6 weeks and is a great game.... I'd urge anyone who'd be into a bit of RTS/action crossover to pick it up.

DAMN!! I pre-ordered a copy from EB yesterday, same price, but only the standard bundle!! GAAARRGGHH!!

You can cancel any pre-order at EB and get all of your money back - if they say they can't get them to call up regional management ;)

If they say no call up head office - or, better, Morayfield EB.

[Chrispy]

better still just pricematch?

[Starscream]

better still just pricematch?
Depends.

I know GAME don't price match any internet retailers.

You can try to make EB price match by showing them the internet special at GAME, but it's much easier to just cancel the pre-order and order online if they don't.

Are the PS3 Rock Band instruments compatible with Guitar Hero these days?

Yup, they should be (http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2008/11/official-guitar/)

I did the Game online store pre-order $74 with extra free motion+ yesterday and it arrived in the mail today, so if you're looking to buy resort and have more than 1 controller that'd be a good way to go about it

[Stevorooni]

I already have a motion plus I got with Tiger Woods and I only have 2 remotes so I don't really need an extra motion plus

[Slippery]

Wii Sports Resort at Target with an extra motion plus for $100 (sounds good to me - haven't been tracking WMP prices).

Target has RB for $145, Little King's Story for $35 and Burnout Paradise for $15 (potentially just PS3) - there are somre real bargains here people!

[Nic Xtreme]

GAME's online store features Picross DS for $19, and they also have free post. If you don't own it yet, and love puzzlers, go buy it. NOW.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Just ordered sports resort and GOW ($19) from Game online.

THANK YOU THREAD!

Now if anyone wants the first Boom Blox game for cheap I'm about to sell it in HAH.

There's a link on the front page with "1 day to go!" that links to the pack, although that page doesn't actually mention it. If I don't get it they'll be hearing from me.

You can easily get Wii Sports Resort for less than $40 by using pre-owned EB trade fodder including Wii Bully $16 , Scarface $20 , Bratz The Movie $20 , Spongebob Squarepants $18 and Avatar Burning Earth $18 (Edge prices). The EB sale ends 25th July . KMart have been selling Wii Bratz The Movie for $10 , Wii My Sims for $20 and Need For Speed Pro Street $20.

Other good prices include Silver PSP God Of War bundle for $150 , Skate Ps3 for $10 and Tiger Woods 2008 for $10 all at Toys R Us .

Everyone who has a PS3 and doesn't have Burnout Paradise should grab a copy for $15 in Targets Big Toy Sale.

Was this Target or Target Country? If its the latter, then I'm not surprised. All Targets (excl Country) should have bundles of them instock since its a catalogue special

Hmm maybe I was expected to walk around the whole store trying to find an obscure sale bin.. Might do that tomorrow, I wanted to get out of the store as quick as possible on thursday as it was packed with bored parents being dragged around by their annoying children. Gotta love toy sales..

OMG!! There is a pic of like 5 slim PS2's taped together currently bidding at $139

I just bought yet another ps2 at eb this week for $130, so seeing this just BOGGLES my mind. I'm freaking out man. I could use this PS2 brick as a door stop until my THIRD ps2 breaks, as it enevitably will, being made so poorly and all. Then I could just swap one from the pile every 2 years or so.

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a88/Jonny9999/PS2.jpg

If you could just BUY items rather than bidding, I'd be tempted to do a road trip shopping spree to QLD. But trouble is I'd end up spending too much on fuel to make it worthwhile. Still, if you get the more expensive items, TV's, 'Puters etc, then it would be more worthwhile.

EB also have plenty of brand new stock from European suppliers which is sold as pre-owned including SNK Arcade Classics for PSP and Metal Slug 7 for DS .

Sony have stopped supplying the Ps3 recently and if you haven't noticed it has sold out in many places. This means a price drop and/or the new model is imminent.

[Cian]

by "mixed reviews" you mean "panned by anyone with a little credability"? it wasn't really a good price, dude...

I consider an average of 55 to be mixed...dunno about you. And considering how you get a bunch of extra shit and the acclaimed soundtrack, I think $19 is a good price.

[Lex]

55 would be average if reviewers stuck to a convention, but we both know anything below 80 these days generally isn't worth playing, a 50 and below is reserved for joke reviews.

$19 is never a good price for such a poor game.

Nah...more like; Kane & Lynch, Wanted, Too Human, Frontlines, DBZ, NFS Pro Street, Smackdown Vs Raw 2008.

[grimace06]

If a game is cheap, the scores it gets are unimportant. With the exception of out-dated sports games and movie tie ins.

Picked up Ninety Nine Nights for $16, Gun for $19 and The Club for $20 and had fun with all of them.

If I found Alone in the Dark for $19 I'd buy it. Nearly bought the collectors edition at EB for $30.

Nice. That's about $22.74 AUD.

[driftout625]

Guitar Hero Decades DS $2 (Toys R Us), Nascar 08 360 $9 (KMart), NBA 08 Ps3 $3.50 (KMart) , Dead Head Fred PSP $2.50 (KMart) , Scene It with buzzers 360 $6 (KMart). Obviously every KMart won't have these games in stock , but if they do these are the prices they scan at. The Scene It I picked up was actually on display and stickered for $6 (having been reduced from $20 then to $14 , then to $6). It's surprising that the staff don't just buy it at that price.

[Jazzilla]

It's surprising that you always find these bargains. My K-Mart never has any awesome bargains :(

[driftout625]

Some KMarts are useless in terms of bargains. The more disorganized they are , the better in general for bargains. Often stock will be out the back in the storeroom because there's not enough room for it to be on display or it's just forgotten. Most of those prices I mentioned (including the $2 Guitar Hero Decades DS at Toys R Us) were stickered which makes it all the more surprising that they were still in stock.

[aubergine]

I have an advantage living on the Sunshine Coast. The retail is so sluggish here that I tend to find heaps of clearance stuff collecting in drifts along the streets. Local Harvey Norman and Kmart have been pretty lucrative in that regard.

[Jickle]

My hand is hovering on the 'confirm order' button, nerdly brother.

Also thinking about tossing in BK:N&B.

I ended up grabbing it. I figure the trade-in value on the game is bound to be at least $10, so at worst I'll be paying $9 for an art-book/DVD/shitty figurine/CD.

Also, BK: N&B is fantastic. It's $29 or so, right? Well worth it.

[Cian]

I ended up grabbing it. I figure the trade-in value on the game is bound to be at least $10, so at worst I'll be paying $9 for an art-book/DVD/shitty figurine/CD.

Notice that they've bumped the price up to $39. Got in just in time ;)

[driftout625]

When people found out about the 40Gig Ps3s for $199 at Target a while ago (which were virtually all gone on the Monday a few hours after the e-mail from head office was received), Targets everywhere were getting inundated with calls from people for about a week later hoping to get some. Tons of people were also ringing some KMarts which stocked 40 Gig Ps3s to get a price match. Attempts to get a price match included "my sister works at Sony and $199 is the new price point for Ps3s so you can sell it to me now for $199" . Unfortunately for this person the store manager didn't.

[jawsy]

Sometimes I'm not sure that driftout625 is actually a human being.

I also grabbed it for $19 with the thought in the back of my mind to trade the game itself away pretty quickly.

I think I may have to get BK:N&B now while I'm still thinking about it. You know, because my backlog certainly needs to be bigger. :p

Condemned 2: Bloodshot - for $18AU on 360

[driftout625]

Harvey Norman are doing Wii Sports Resort or Tiger Woods with 2 motion plus peripherals for $76 in their latest catalogue.

[Starscream]

Not a bad deal although I'd expect more people to pick up Wii Sports Resort over Tiger Woods.

[driftout625]

Apparently GAME & Target, along with the German Amazon site, have had listings of a 120GB PS3 Slim :D


Some retailers have a listing for new Ps3 stock towards the end of August. My guess is $499 about 27th August .

Catch of the day deal at 12pm today is Wii consoles for $199 and ds lites for $99. No guarantees though, the site will most likely be swamped once the minute hand ticks over but I'm going to try anyway!

Ughh typical. I'm more interested in the $99 ds lite though! Wonder when that will be..

I reckon COTD staff/family members are given priority on the purchase of the 100 Wii consoles, which they then give back to COTD to sell at the next sale. All of it is just a front to attract buyers to their other useless junk.

Honestly, if you've got a PC that can run it (shouldn't be hard) and you can find it at the same or something reasonably close to that, I'd go PC over Wii. I picked up the Wii version and it can be EXTREMELY sluggish at times. Feels very unpolished.

That thing makes your hand want to break away from your wrist, too awkward to use - the game is painfully average and super short too :/

[Grubdog]

Could that be the first bargain ever found at David Jones?

[Not Matt]

Not at all. Just gotta be there at the right time. I remember finding Vib Ribbon for $10 and Space Channel 5 Pt2 for $20 at DJs.

Also, I noticed the Harvey Norman in the city has been having some kind of strange sale as of last week. They need to shift stock so they had like a 'we will reduce one and only one copy of the game to a ridiculous price and leave the others incredibly high'. Managed to nab Phantom Hourglass for $17, Flower Sun and Rain for $7, Driver 76 for PSP for $7 and Beowulf for PSP for $7 (meh, crap game I'm sure but cheap :) ). Also picked up Shaun White on PS3 for a mate for $17. Had other stuff at the time like Pikmin Wii and Mario Strikers for $17, Trauma Centre 2 and Ninja Gaiden 2 for $27. Those are long gone now, but other stuff has been popping up. Few good games in the 2 for $50 stack for Wii owners, like Lets Tap, Metroid Prime 3 and Wario Shake Dimension (so I'm told). Probably only at the one store though.

Seth is pretty easy to beat...in the first round. Then he turns into a cheap, cheating son-of-a-bitch, and it really takes the shine off the arcade mode.

They came down in price further today. Too Human was $19 last week , but $13 today. Brothers In Arms Hell's Highway got the same reduction on both platforms as well. I paid $19 for Star Wars Unleashed Ps3 a few days ago , but it should be $13 if you can track it down (the 360 version is still the normal price). I also got Bad Company 360 for $19 a few days ago(it should be $13 now). The Ps3 version of Bad Company is $28 (down from $40).

Mad World was 80% off $80 and Motorstorm was 80% off $100. They both scanned at $49.95 so I got them for $10.

No More Heroes scanned at what it was marked. $80 with 80% off.

[Stevorooni]

I checked out Harvey Norman but there's no ultra cheap bargains, just some good value Guitar Hero packs that have been taped together and sold at a reduced price (like GH Aerosmith+Guitar+another wireless Les Paul for $90 I think)

What's this I hear about a big JB game sale tomorrow? How big can I expect it to be?

[driftout625]

Over 200 markdowns , a fair bit of old stock at 50 per cent off over most platforms.

I'm also interested in this. Got some money to blow!

Over 200 markdowns , a fair bit of old stock at 50 per cent off over most platforms,

Any good examples that you know of?

[driftout625]

Nothing significant off newer releases . Fifty per cent off a lot of older and discontinued stuff like Lost , Beowulf etc. Nothing like the 80 per cent off sale at some Harvey Normans last Saturday.

[driftout625]

Just on the Harvey Norman sale , the discounts of 50 to 80 per cent off newer releases involved a rebate from suppliers in most cases so Harvey Norman was not out of pocket. This was the reason behind the big discount on titles like Rock Band Beatles and Batman at a few Harvey Norman stores. I managed to pick up Rock Band Ps3 for $8 , Singstar Vol 2 Ps3 for $10 , NBA 09 Wii for $8 , House Of The Dead Wii for $10 , De Blob Wii for $15, AC/DC Ps3 for $15 , Argonauts Ps3 for $20 , Kirby Superstar DS for $14 and a few others.

According to ecogamer, JB are supposedly having a big game sale.

I hope I am not snoozing so I don't miss it.

Any idea what titles are on sale? Or just go and lunch and hope for the best?

Don't know what titles but I'll probably be there at lunchtime as well. :/

[Starscream]

Save your petrol, I couldn't see anything worth buying.

Best bargain I saw was Blue Dragon (360) for $12. Didn't buy it.

[AranchineD]

I did though.

Also bought Project Sylpheed for $14, but overall, nothing really special.

[Stevorooni]

I didn't spot anything worth buying either

[aubergine]

Neither did I. Although I didn't actually go there.

[FrozenSoul80]

That much should have been obvious. Looking at the teaser on their website shows the games on sale aren't that great, and the best of the lot were probably chosen for the advertisement. I hate bullshit sales.

[Jickle]

I saw Sega MegaDrive Collection Whatever for $29.50 on 360 at JB. Nearly grabbed it.

They also had Animal Crossing: Let's Rehash Our Previous Outings on Wii for $30, which is more than worthwhile if you don't already have it on GC/DS.

[Spazzallo]

Picked up Bewoulf, NHL 2kS and Project Slyphed but will probably return them all =X.

Also does the 7 day policy apply to preowned games at EB?

I think they actually bump it up to 14 days.

[Spazzallo]

Awesome. Can I take store credit or cash for them?

Many regrettable purchases today >_>. That's what birthday money does to you!

[Ingram]

You guys are such downers!

I went with my GF this morning and she picked up 4 DS games:

Orcs & Elves - $20
Valkyrie Profile - $29.50
Lunar Knights - $25
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia - $30

On the 360 I got:

NHL 2k7 for $8.99

They had a hell of a lot more, World Ends With You was $24, we saw two copies, and about 5 seconds later after commenting on how cheap it was two people snatched them up *like that*.

Would get Blue Dragon but they have no copies left.

Saw Odin Sphere for PS2 for $25, though no sure if it's any good.

[AranchineD]

I've already played all those game though. >_>

I think you mean Odin Sphere. Yes it is good and rather rare.

[Ingram]

Yea, Odin Sphere sorry. And I had a look on ebay and it's not too badly priced there. Nothing that screams extremely rare anyway.

Apparently it had a pretty average 50hz conversion, suffering from slowdowns and stuff?

[driftout625]

As I mentioned before there is mainly older stuff in the JB sale. Wheelman Ps3 $44.50 , Legends Of Wrestlemania $44.50 , Velvet Assassin 360 $42 , SBK 09 $37.50 , You're In The Movies 360 $24 , Wario Land Shake Dimension Wii $39 , Animal Crossing Wii $30 , Blue Dragon 360 $12 , Arkanoid DS $14 , Real Football 2009 $14 , Rhapsody DS $29.50 , Valkyrie Profile DS $29.50 , Broken Sword DS $22 , Time Hollow DS $30 , Castlevania Order Of Ecclesia $30 , Castlevania Portrait Of Ruin DS $30 and Megadrive Ultimate Collection Ps3 $29.50.

I can get the superior US version for $24 AU (not including post and with the current exchage rate) when I make my next import order.

Er... What's so superior on the US version? I had no idea there was a difference...
