Laybuying the Mario Kart 8 bundle on Thursday.

Great deal plus I can get a further 5% off

Not sure if this is any good but there's a Wii U sale at Toys R Us.

Don't suppose anyone traded in Skylanders and knows the trade in value? Kind of hoping its enough to get Monster Hunter or close to it...

$29ish.

Changes a bit.

I dunno if it's the same everywhere, but I think $18 is what Eb Games does.

 

[zimma]

Boo... Plugged it all in and now i'm stuck waiting ages for it to update.

Just a heads up folks, just spoke with a mate who runs Woolies websites (dat extra staff discount ftw), the Big W sale goes live online at 5pm not 7pm.

Not much of a difference, but if people are that desperate to get in early then go for it.

 

[zimma]

Apparently it started on the 8gb basic at 1pm today in stores

Anyone else seem to get constantly paired with people from Europe online? I mean I know I use an American DNS... but when I hit regional i get nothing but people from the UK or like Poland...

Was looking through the EB Games website, and found these guys.

There seems to be a Luigi themed controller too, but it must not be up yet.

 

[zimma]

Yeah they're classic controllers so need a wiimote sadly... Which sucks if they replaced the Wii Pro controller I would be on that shit so damn fast!

 

[MegaBob]

I like them... but I don't dig the transparent A and B button too much.

 

[beta_condition]

C stick is a proper size now...... think I could be in love

 

[MegaBob]

I never used the C stick when playing Smash Bros. I might have to start playing at again to get ready for for the new one coming.

So damn close to perfection! If it was wireless in its own right it would be the best controller ever...

Do JB price match? Really keen on the Big W MK8 bundle and the $58 games but have $200 of JB vouchers.

So glad the Wii U is finally appealing enough to buy.

Yeah they do. Have pricematched there before.

Just keep in mind if they're being picky the local competitor has to have stock for them to price match. They often won't price match if they don't have stock as then anyone could advertise any product that they don't have in stock at any price and they'd be price matching left right and centre

So if they ask if they have stock, say yes

Kmart have the Skylanders Basic Bundle for $179 starting 26th June.

Not sure if they'll do the price early like Big W though?

[MegaBob]

Is Big W's toy sale catalogue out yet? I think its next week and they normally have good prices for consoles when that sale rolls around.

 

[Donakebab]

The Skylanders pack is in stock and selling at Big W Eastland for $198. They are sold out of MK8 though and EB won't price match, so will pick it up from Doncaster tomorrow.

 

[Nostradumbass]

A lot of people picking these up, nice. We need to get some MK8 races going aswell.

I got EB to price match MK8 yesterday. Although they did do the call up to check if it was in stock, they got someone with no idea at Big W, said not to bother so she did it for $58 anyway.

Yeah they called up and found that it was out of stock, the tried to tell me that it was $68 anyway. Not falling for that, lying ****ers.

 

[cheesedogg]

Nah pretty sure the $58 at Big W was only for the 1st week or 2. Is $68 now unfortunately. Still better than the $139.99 or whatever EB would normally try and slug you without a price match.
