Credits go to Dingotech on WP for this deal, I am just reposting it here.
In the new Big W catalogue coming out this week they have:
PS4 controllers for $78
Launch games for $68.
If you use the 10off120 big w deal, http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/124127 you could use click and collect when the games appear for the discounted prices later this week and apply the voucher. Pick the games up on Friday when the console launches and the total price will work out at $63 per games. Almost US prices.
I think the price for this Mk1 is very reasonable, and isn't that what a awrranty is for? I'm happy to (once again) take the risk of buying a Mk1 if it means I don't have to wait 12 months to play it.
