Cheap Games

[zimma]

Fairly sure with the online prebuy bit the odds of anyone getting an xbox or dsi are slim to none, stores have hardly any anyway and some hoarder will buy them all up to sell on gumtree/ ebay... Would love to get a dsi for my niece and a new xbox for myself to replace my 20gb as well as the 12month xbox live, draw something pad thing (again for niece/ nephew) and a few other games / accessories. But fairly sure all hat will be left is terrible games if that.

Any chance DSE will also cut the cost of the Vita?

 

[vealesy]

As if anything good will be left in store.

Lucky ive got 2 DSE real close to each other (ones a mega store just across the road from the mall) will suss out both on saturday and hide some games around the store so no one takes them on monday

Have read on WP and other places that the sale will not start until the 11th or 12th.

You could always do a Georga Constanza and hide the product in a different section

Re: Cheap Games

So whats the deal with Dick Smith?? Does your local store have to have it in stock for you to be able to purchase or what? Most of the stuff is "click and collect" and "no home delivery" so if your local store is out then you're SOL?

Here is what you need to know:* - Offers are available in-store and online, and stock is strictly limited -
Online the sale will commence at 8AM AEST (stock is strictly limited) -
Stock may vary between stores -
Click and Collect will not be available and stores will not be able to reserve stock -
Offers are only available while stocks last. No rain checks

Get off a plane at 8am so i'll try and get online and get a bargain.

Damn, I start Uni early on Monday... I finish at 3 but I doubt there'll be anything decent left at that time but I still might as well try.

I'm eyeing off Wii Classic controllers for 5 dollars a pop. I need some too...

Seriously tempted.

GoW collection 2 for $5, Dead Island for $10 are the stand outs for me. Wonder what time it starts online on monday, store opening time or after midnight sunday

8am according to the twitter.

It's a sad depressing sale really. Complete desperation from Dick Smith. Surely even if they are closing stores they can transfer stock to existing stores and sell them at something resembling RRP.

Great for the consumer though

 

[Glenno23]

My info is that most of the good stuff has been scooped up by the employees

They were getting stuff for 10% of cost

 

[grrofunger]

i went to a few DSE today

they have nothing worthwhile on the sales floor

if they did have it , its been put away by the staff for themselves

fizzer sale is fizzer

What a bunch of pricks...I guess if they're gonna be out of a job soon they need all they can get though.

Would've been nice to get some of the cheap as chips stuff though.

As much as I feel the same way I have to admit that I would likely do the same for myself as well. At the end of the day they too are consumers.

Finally got a response from Harvey Norman Sunshine in regards to my games last night. Three of the nine that I purchased (Killzone 3 (PS3) and Skyrim and LOTR (PC)) were on back order with a 4 day delay expected but that the others were there for me to pick up. No tax invoice (I guess that will come with the back ordered games becoming available) yet.

I went to HN today to pick up the games that were there and to my pleasant surprise I was able to get KZ3 and LOTR with Skyrim still on back order. So of the nine games that I purchased I have eight in my possession and have the other on the way.

I've read reports of people receiving non-Australian stock. From my end I can happily report it to be Australian stock with the ONLY game not factory sealed being Mass Effect 3.

Was in DSE today and all the 12 month subs have dissapeared even though the website says there in stock. There was 20+ there last weekend when i was in there lol.
I guess the DSE staff ebay sale will be shit.

 

[Premiers04]

Found a nice hiding spot for GoW collection 2 today , will have to try my luck online for dead island

 

[PP34]

I want LA Noire and maybe Forza 4. So can you get them shipped?

 

[Joker91]

Does anyone think Skyrim will be at the dick smith stores?

It might be, but it's not on the sale items list, so don't expect it to be heavily discounted.

 

[JR#8]

Looks like there is still hope for GAME stores.
