The deal is already showing up on their website. I have called them yesterday and they have plenty of stock across Australia for the 16GB and 32GB, both Wi-Fi and the Wi-Fi + cellular ones. 64GB has less stock and 128GB will only be available as click and collect. All colours should be plentiful. Quite a bit cheaper than buying from Apple themselves.

I'm lined up at the George Street Apple Store right now and I don't want to lose my place in line, but the line isn't very long. I don't think the demand for the iPad Air is very big so if you just stroll into Big W early today I think you'll be able to get one. Managed to hold one just now, it's like the reviews say - insanely light and feels amazing. No point in getting the Mini anymore.

Storage Wi-Fi Wi-Fi + cellular
16GB $568 $698
32GB $668 $798
64GB $768 $898
128GB $868 $998

Their website shows "Not Available" right now, but they do in fact have stock. Just walk in or phone up your local store and ask. A few people have already left the line here at George Street to buy from the nearby Big W in the Sydney CBD who have confirmed stock since last night.

EDIT: 64GB & 128GB are not in stock anywhere.

    Price match?

    • ImperialX on 01/11/2013 - 06:48

      Just asked the guys at George Street. They're not going to price match.

  • imket on 01/11/2013 - 06:40

    tell me if I'm wrong, if I use my entertainment book to get vouchers and get 5%off, plus I find someone who works there. I'll save around another 10%?

    • imket on 01/11/2013 - 06:45

      and if you're traveling, that's another 9% ish off

    • ImperialX on 01/11/2013 - 06:48

      Yup, that works.

    • zzyss on 01/11/2013 - 07:53

      The entertainment book has big w vouchers? If you wait for staff day, they get 10% off using their cards

      • zzyss on 01/11/2013 - 17:04

        You can buy Woolworths Wish gift cards, which can be used at Big W (and Dick Smith, for that matter).

  • LaTerrible on 01/11/2013 - 07:10

    Thanks OP, hopefully my local BigDub have one of each colour in the 16gb wifi model. Will pick 'em up today if they do, then set about selling our iPad 3's for cheap!

    • imket on 01/11/2013 - 07:15
      +2

      yeah trying to sell my ipad3 as well. Feeling the burn apple gave me by coming out with the ipad 4 early. ipad3s are just not worth much..

      • LaTerrible on 01/11/2013 - 07:54

        Haha, yeah. Our iPads are supplementary devices to other things in the house, so we don't use them too hard and have never felt as burned as other people who jumped in on them, but they were certainly a misstep by Apple. Bit of a bummer the superior wifi ac isn't in these new ones.

        Nonetheless, if I can hock each of them for a bargain price that'll be fine.

      • AlexF on 01/11/2013 - 12:39

        Feeling the burn apple gave me by coming out with the ipad 4 early.

        then, get prepared for more burn as Apple releases iPad Pro/5 early next year.

  • pramki on 01/11/2013 - 07:21

      Anyone else have any luck?

      • seejay80 on 01/11/2013 - 09:47

        Prices matched iPad 4th gen at Melbourne CBD Myer with Officeworks. They seemed a bit reluctanat to provide it though.

      • Wibbleman on 01/11/2013 - 14:22

        Interesting - because I had a macbook Air pricematched at Myers brisbane CBD with a 10% off dick smith sale.
        I guess it depends on who you get

    $598 at TGG

    Should be $562 after price beat.

    • newguy on 01/11/2013 - 08:46

      What's their price match policy?

      If you find a lower price online or advertised within 30 days of your purchase we will beat it by 120% of the difference.

      Is that correct?

      • pyro love bird on 24/11/2013 - 02:08

        so that should bring it down to $532?

    • newguy on 01/11/2013 - 11:18

      Blacktown thegoodguys won't do price beat. They said they only match local store, which means bigw in blacktown. What a shame. Bigw Macquarie shopping centre doesn't even considered as a local store. I strongly recommend people don't go to blacktown thegoodguys. They said they called bigw and the price was online price. What a joke, the website clearly says it can only be picked up in store.

      • unco on 01/11/2013 - 11:22

        That sucks considering their price beat policy says "if you find a lower price online or advertised".
        At least you have 30 days to keep hassling them to honour it.

  • ikdo on 01/11/2013 - 08:32

    What is our chance of Price guarantee - 5% at Office Works?

      • ikdo on 01/11/2013 - 08:40

        OW will stock them as they do with older iPads

        • step_andy on 01/11/2013 - 13:38

          Went to my local OW and they don't stock any Apple products anymore. A sales drone told that only 2 OW stores in in Melbourne sell iPads.
          Strange

        • jassssone on 01/11/2013 - 15:36

          he means two stores have stock in store,other than that only buy online

    • parcus on 01/11/2013 - 12:38

      Most likely they'll undercut Big W by $1 or so to avoid losing 5%.

  • cyrax83 on 01/11/2013 - 08:43

    Might sway me to get a 32gb.. Don't need cellular as data plan prices seem to suck - just wanted to get like 3gb without expiry.

    Will play with one today to see if it's this or wait for Mini 2

        you can set pricing before you get stock, everyone does that.

        I'm pretty sure once apple has enough stock to pass on to retailers, big w will have stock to sell.

    Check out http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/121447 if you want to buy an Air from JB-HIFI and get a 25% discount voucher useful for blurays, dvds, etc. If you've got purchases planned, it would work out cheaper than discounts from Big W.

    • bxlwwc on 01/11/2013 - 10:37

      Or a better idea may be: price match with them and still ask for the discount voucher.

      • crazyj on 01/11/2013 - 10:41

        I like it! :) True OZbargainer! :)

    • tohara on 01/11/2013 - 11:44

      I price matched at JB but had to forego this deal to do so

  • allyemil on 01/11/2013 - 10:38

    Hhhmmm, might finally be the time to cash in the $200 voucher which expires at the end of the year.
    Getting the 32GB 4G, but the big decision now is whether to go with the Air or Mini.

    It is a replacement for our current iPad, which is good but too bloody heavy. Like the look of the Mini and i think it is great for videos, but just concerned that it might be a bit too small for comfortable reading.

    The Air would be great for both, videos and reading, but just not sure whether it is light enough.

    Decisions, decisions…..

    • z10cvbnm on 01/11/2013 - 11:13

          Wouldn't the font size be a bit too small to read comfortably?

          'small' is relative to person's (visual) acuity.

        • Monger on 01/11/2013 - 13:44

          not to mention that you can just increase the font size.

    iPad 1 680g
    iPad 2 601g
    iPad 3 650g
    iPad 4 650g
    iPad Air 469g

    • allyemil on 01/11/2013 - 11:04

      iPad Air 4G is 478g vs iPad Mini 4G which is 340g.
      How much of a difference would 128g make?

      • unco on 01/11/2013 - 11:26
        +2

        As a reference, an iPhone4 is 137g and iPhone5 112g.

        So if you have either of those phones, imagine that as the difference, give or take a bit.

      • ImperialX on 01/11/2013 - 11:50

        Pretty much no difference. I held an iPad Mini and an iPad Air today before deciding whether to buy the Air or keep waiting.

        The Air is amazing. Just get it.

        • [Deactivated] on 01/11/2013 - 12:04

          The Air is 25% heavier than the mini though, that's a pretty significant difference. For reference the Air is 27% lighter than the iPad 4.

      A nationwide memo has already come out because of you uploading this receipt.

Then he went off and checked with his manager and came back and said can't do it because we have the $50 off next purchase deal.

        Dont feel bad. They lied to me and would not explain their price match policy.
        The Good Guys were happy to match if stock was available.
        Target had the 16gb $10 cheaper than BigW and $60 cheaper than Apple.
        Some Harvey Normans and Myers price matched.
        JB lied to you initially as well regarding stock.
        So to summerize JB are liars and cant live up to their own price match policy
