      Was just trying to determine that from the leaflet….it doesn't say instore only but doesn't give any indication it's online either. It just says "MASSIVE savings storewide Saturday December 7".

    • soulblade64 on 07/12/2013 - 15:28

      It is instore and online, however what I learnt today is Big W maintain separate pricing for each entity and they will not price match online over in store.

      Their online prices WITH delivery is cheaper than their sale prices in store. (Man of Steel is $11 delivered, or $19 in store)

      • ItsMeAgro on 07/12/2013 - 17:51

        Yeah it looks like it ended up being half price in store, but then half that again for many of those same titles online. Most likely a pricing error, though they might still honour it.

        I bought a few in store, but then when I got home and checked online some of those where half that price again. So I'll just return those if they honour their mistaken prices.

        • wtfnodeal on 07/12/2013 - 19:10

          Some box set in store are better value. There is one Marvel super hero set of 6 blu ray including xmen first class for $20.

        Silly, they're too thin to put in a VHS player. You'll need to glue about 20 together to achieve the required thickness. On the plus side, you'll be able to watch all the movies at once.

          They'd only just started filming from what i'd heard.

          I read they'd only done all the expensive stunt scenes, which has left them with a whole lot of nothing and a lot less budget (read: total mess).

    The real question is whether this is online or not. I'm considering returning some of the stuff I bought from JB that I haven't opened yet, however:

    20% ends this Thursday - if you return it, and then BigW doesn't have stock on Saturday, you're stuck. Unfortunately I also bought over the weekend, so I'm not sure how long I have to return it? If it's 7 days, then it'll be over by Saturday. If it's longer, then I can check out BigW and then buy the cheaper replacement, and then return it to JB. Hmm.

    • sparkles on 02/12/2013 - 16:18

      JB's receipt doesn't specify any time limit. In fact, it doesn't say anything at all about returns except to say retain your receipt for proof of purchase.

  • auna on 02/12/2013 - 16:36

    Seriously? There aren't many places to buy bluray in store. Now Big W is gone too. It was like the main reason I went inside Big W!

    Kmart, Target and JB Hifi. There is Sanity in one shopping Centre only here.

    When Myer stopped selling Bluray it became much harder to get rarer bluray. Now it is nearly 100% JB Hifi and that just doesn't sit well with me.

    Our only hope is if Amazon sells bluray in Australia soon.

    • ItsMeAgro on 05/12/2013 - 19:10

      I'm OK with this happening as soon as we can get legal blu-ray quality 1080p downloads of movies for the same price or less, but it hasn't happened yet. Maybe it's just too hard for the multi-billion-dollar entertainment industry to manage?

  • g12345567 on 02/12/2013 - 16:47

    Whats the chances they will reset all the blu-ray to RRP? Ie the ones marked as on sale save $$$$

    Hopefully they will stay at the current prices. Thus making Star Trek TNG, TOS and Enterprise series blu-ray $20 each.
