    Best price ever!!!

    Even better if can pricematch at OW —> $265.05

    • lostn on 18/10/2013 - 07:11

      I couldn't find stock at 4 OWs a few weekends ago when Bing had it for $299.

      I'm not even going to bother trying this time. Probably head straight to DSE if I want it. But the iPad mini 2 announcement is so close…

      • Shadowsfury on 18/10/2013 - 07:29

        OW website says stock available in a number of Melb CBD stores, I'm assuming the suburbs will be the same.

        • lostn on 18/10/2013 - 14:12

          All 4 stores I went to either said In Stock or Limited Stock before I went there. The online stock checker is not up to date.

      • wtfnodeal on 18/10/2013 - 10:45

        Consider waiting for iPad mini 2 if you have $400 or so to spend with. Otherwise this tablet is more affordable at a good price for now.

    • lknight on 18/10/2013 - 07:58

      Wonder if you buy in GG today, will they do 120% if you go back on the weekend?

      • mooreshady on 18/10/2013 - 09:18

        i suck at math, so what price will it come down and how does TGG work?

      • kowcop on 18/10/2013 - 11:11

        I think after the refund at good guys you will be $3.80 better off.

        • superforever on 18/10/2013 - 11:16

          I think like the same as OW 5% OFF, isn't it? If that is true that mean 20% off from $279.

          Am I correct?

        • turbodude on 18/10/2013 - 11:24
          +1

          Nope, it's 120% of the DIFFERENCE back. If you paid $100 for something and then saw it for $90 you would get $12 back so effectively pay $88.

        • superforever on 18/10/2013 - 12:13

          OK, now they listed for $318, so 318-279=39, 39*120%=46.80, so still very good.

          Hope they will not change the price tomorrow to match it and they have stock.

  • KLoNe on 18/10/2013 - 06:53

    No kidding, this is a great price!
    Soon enough they'll be even cheaper than the price I paid for the KitKat I won mine with recently.

      ahh guys.. you do realise he is not joking.. Android 4.3 is called Kit Kat, and there is a promo competition where you can win a Google Nexus 7 or Google Play money when you buy and enter the code on the wrapped of a Kit Kat 'biscuit'

      • oringal on 18/10/2013 - 11:43

        this kit kat is also only available for purchase from Woolworths

  • robotdad on 18/10/2013 - 07:10

    Any phones actually good value if you subtract the $100?

    • KLoNe on 18/10/2013 - 07:28

      I'd say that the best value here would be (in no particular order):

      • HTC One
      • Samsung Galaxy S4 Active
      • Sony Xperia Z1

      Saying that, you'd probably be able to find them cheaper elsewhere if you look around.

      • dy4me on 18/10/2013 - 10:00

    Can't find the offers page on their website? Would be easier to pricematch at OW.

  • bchliu on 18/10/2013 - 07:47
    +4

    Well.. it really isnt "$100 off" since the gift card they give you is a Dick Smith Gift card as opposed to say, an EFTPOS card etc. This means you are pretty much forced to having to respend the $100 at DSE. Unless you have things to get or you want to bundle things up, then the offer isnt exactly that good IMO.

    • wtfnodeal on 18/10/2013 - 09:25

      DS gift cards can also be used at woolworths group companies? Unless they change it.

  • TilacVIP on 18/10/2013 - 09:17

    As soon as I saw the $100 GC with any phone purchase I could see this was going to be a raw deal… so I checked the price of the Phones.. wow, a Samsung S3 for $547.00? I could have got this phone for $412.00 [delivered] a couple of weeks ago from Kogan. Even with the $100 GC its still not a good deal, especially since its not cash where u can spend anywhere u like.

    They jack their prices up by $100 and then proclaim to give you a $100 GC. Don't buy into this and do some googling!!

    This is so far from a bargain it should be deleted of this thread

    • mooreshady on 18/10/2013 - 09:19

      Agreed. 16GB HTC ONE for 718??? Geez…Harvey Norman is only selling 786 or sth for 64GB!

      • unity1 on 18/10/2013 - 09:31

        The HTC one is 32gb. The offer also applies to apple phones including the 5c. Where can you get australian stock at effectively $100 off RRP?

        • May4th on 18/10/2013 - 10:21

          i wouldn't say it's effectively off RRP, but still a sizable discount if you were willing to purchase at RRP

      This bargain is for general, like the nexus 7 at 279 is amazing at today's market. Well of course, you can't gonna compare today's market if you gonna purchase in 6 months time…

  • econzune on 18/10/2013 - 09:56

    I started liking the Samsung 8 inch devices. Would you still go for this one instead? Screen resolution is better but 7 inch instead of 8. Is the processor blowing away the Tab 8 or Note 8?

    • aec on 18/10/2013 - 11:39

      resolution is the KING!

    • mudkipz on 18/10/2013 - 12:10

      You might wanna check this, but apparently the new nexus 7 completely destroys the tab 3s in terms of processing. I can't back this up off the top of my head but I'm pretty sure that was what I had been reading.
      Resolution on n7 is ridiculously good too, as noted already.

    • lostn on 19/10/2013 - 00:43

      1280x800 TFT vs 1920x1200 IPS.

      1.5GB RAM vs 2GB.

      Dual core CPU vs Quad core.

      If the prices are anywhere near comparable, the Nexus blows the Tab out of the water.

  • neonlight on 18/10/2013 - 10:04

    @krim, did I say anywhere that at the moment it can be bought for less than $279.00.. read my comment again

    @mastablasta, again read my comment. I am saying this deal [Asus Nexus @ 279.00] is only $15 - $20 cheaper than other place.. so it would definitely suit someone who was after this particular model and was planning on buying this weekend.. however I wouldn't call it a bargain @ 279.00

    • unity1 on 18/10/2013 - 10:25
      +3

      Could you kindly post a deal of some sort so that we can understand what your definition of a bargain is? I'll keep an eye out for it.

      • TilacVIP on 18/10/2013 - 10:37
        -7

        My definition of a bargain is when I am mildy interested in a product but the price it too good to resist and the temptation doesn't hold me back. Everyone I guess has their own theory what a bargain is to them and their needs/wants. If people think its a bargain, good for them, their money,go ahead and buy, I am just giving my opinion on what is and was is not. Isn't it the reason why we come here, to actually get a bargain? The Asus Nexus at $279.00 is not a bargain in my opinion, its a good price for a 7in Tablet that in 2 weeks time a very good chance it may be had for less.

        Can anyone actually call DSE selling the Samsung S4 for $698 and then giving you a $100 GC card a bargain, when the same phone can be bought for $547.00 from Kogan. Great marketing, but far from a bargain.

        • SydStrand on 18/10/2013 - 23:52
          +2

          Here's a thought… go found your own bargain site. Call it "OzREALbargain" or something, so you can decide which deals pass your high personal standards and earn a seal of approval. Here, users decide what does or doesn't constitute a bargain by popular vote and friendo? you're not doing yourself any favours.

        • lostn on 19/10/2013 - 00:48

          So your definition of a bargain is a price that would make you buy something you weren't planning on buying. If you were already planning on buying it, then it's not a bargain even if it's the lowest price going around.

          Have I got that right?

          Can you post a bargain for this product? Because I don't think one exists. Which means for someone who actually wants one of these, and isn't looking to for someone else to force their hand, this won't cut it. They should pass on this.

          BTW, your S4 example is not apples for apples comparison. DSE is selling Australian stock, not grey imports. If you're going to compare DSE's price you have to compare it to another retailer selling local stock, not Kogan.

          The ball is in your court.

    My advice on the nexus 7 would be to go to JB Hifi, ask them to beat it and then ask for an invoice at that price, then take that to Officeworks and ask them to beat that price

    • WorkingLowJam on 18/10/2013 - 11:25

      JB's cost price is ~$283. Will be a tough bargain getting them to go lower than that.

          Sharp you have a point.

          Retailers often receive rebates on stock sold. Depending what the product and the deal with the supplier, a retailer may sell at what appears to be cost yet still come out ahead.
