      My DX tablet order was honoured and delivered last week!
      
      But I think I'd be the 1% that received anything out of that deal

  Just because it says stock, means SFA.
  
  I did click & collect in Wagga. Store rang and said they had none in stock.

    So can we use this cashback or not? Coz if we can I might just grab one. As a back-up lappy, because you can never be too sure about BSODs.
    
    EDIT: Nevermind, 30 minutes from the last time I checked, now no more stock in Tasmania… Should have trusted my impulse…. Owh well, you win some you lose some.

  Be interesting if you do, as had I called them before well before you posted this, but was told by staff they had no stock. At that point the site said they had (plenty o') stock. My guess is the staff learned of it and….

Macarthur Square, Campbelltown NSW has stock.

Damn wish I was going to uni today, would've had me a bargain.

EDIT. ahhaa no freakn way, out of stock within 2 minutes
Staff hiding them away methinks, these are ~$500 on ebay, selling used for >$250
Mister Plod on 31/05/2013 - 08:54

Good deal (if it's not a pricing error), but no stock in SA :(
Fungus on 31/05/2013 - 08:55

Just rang Rhodes DSE. No stock and all stores have no stock. Which makes me think it was a pricing error and they are not selling any atm.
Rumbaar on 31/05/2013 - 08:55

What is the difference between:
1 product is NOT available from ******* Low Stock (call store on

and

1 product is NOT available from ******* Out Of Stock
- jimbobaus on 31/05/2013 - 08:58
  
  Low stock means you need to call store to see if they have it as the system is not updated with their stock levels
- 11112007 on 31/05/2013 - 08:58
  
  They might have one or two in stock (display stock) and you have to call to find out!
ShootingStar3388 on 31/05/2013 - 08:57

Thanks OP, ordered one lets see if they honour the click and collect?

  Nor in northern NSW
- sonic2011 on 31/05/2013 - 10:50
  
  yes, they said to me the same thing. all qld have no stock.
ameel on 31/05/2013 - 09:01

Just off phone with store. No one has any in Canberra or NSW.
I asked for the V3-571 model. And the girl asked me "The $497?". I said no, the $156.71 one.
So, it may be there was a price error and they're fixing it :/

I called to double check. Even for the pricier one, they only have stock in wagga, and one place in sydney.

The person mentioned QLD might have stock for the $156.71 one.

good luck

No, it is a pricing error. The DSE guy at Taigum in Qld said that "the guys down south are fixing it - it was a pricing error. I don't think they're going to honour that price."

  if you scroll up a couple people got confirmations for collection so it may just be the guy at your store deciding he wants the stock for himself
