EBGames Mad Monday Direct Link

There really isn't any one special bargain, but as a whole it isn't too bad. They are basically intro prices at BigW. Also I wasted my time in MSPaint compiling this. Damn EB can't just have save as pics anymore. Going through the elements would of taken longer. /Rant

Edit - Also hourly deals from 10am - 5pm. And if you don't get your order by Christmas you will get a $20 gift card.

Stand out deals

360/PS3
Fifa 14 $48
NFS Rivals $48
Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag $55
CoD Ghosts $68
GTA 5 $64

Wii U
Mario 3D World $68

    Positive vote for the effort with paint OP.

  • foobar on 08/12/2013 - 08:23

    Should stick one or two of the standout deals in the topic and deal itself as this was already deleted once before for not listing any specific deals.

      I guess that was deleted because the prices only just came like 2hrs ago.

  • Innamura on 08/12/2013 - 08:32

    The ebgames site is still stuck on the notice page and you can't click past it. Might I ask how did you capture a screenshot with all the prices of the deals? Would like to take a look at their broader range to see if there's anything good.

    Thanks for the post btw.

    • wonderboy on 08/12/2013 - 08:34

      They emailed it. Email says thousands more. Most will probably be the really old preowned games for $4

      • Innamura on 08/12/2013 - 08:39

        Ah…Thanks, I can't seem to find an email from EB. Looks like I will have to wait. :)

  • LaTerrible on 08/12/2013 - 08:41

    Well done op. Vita deal which includes the 16gb starter pack will be mine. 3dsxl pack is a bummer though.

  • Innamura on 08/12/2013 - 08:49

    You might want to add that AC: Black Flag for Wii U is $36. Saw it in store yesterday.

    • 11112007 on 08/12/2013 - 09:36

      Are you sure?

      I know AC3 is on sale for that price….. But Black Flag just came out.

    • mr_me450 on 08/12/2013 - 09:49

      Pretty sure that's AC3, not Black Flag. Would be an awesome deal at that price though.

  • g12345567 on 08/12/2013 - 09:13

    I'll upvote for the OP's effort in uploading the pic. It'll get you to the front page.

    The deals however aren't really bargains.

  • AssociatedHasquarl @ EB Games Australia on 08/12/2013 - 09:17

    Here's some sneak-peek hourly deals for you guys:

    10:00am-10:59am - Fifa 14 Collector's Edition $68

    12:00pm-12:59pm - Pokemon X & Y $44 each

    2:00pm-2:59pm - Astro A40 Headset $227

    5:00pm-5:59pm - GTA V $55

    • MasterNoob on 08/12/2013 - 09:24

      I missed the big W deal for the Pokemon X & Y games, so I might buy these.

      Can these be bought instore?

          Yup, just lost me as a customer. In store (ie instant get) is the only reason I wouldn't just import from wherever for cheaper. So long EB, it's been fun… wait, no it hasn't.

        • Plankton on 08/12/2013 - 12:06

          What does that mean? You're selling stolen goods online?

          I agree, their discretionary price-match practices and used-as-new policies are reprehensible.

        • epicaricacy on 08/12/2013 - 15:23
          +3

          So they can limit it to a few pieces, then stick up a 'Out of Stock' sign, whereas in store you can clearly see piles of them!

      • wouldntyaliketoknow on 08/12/2013 - 14:37

        They'll be UK imports with the OFLC sticker over them.

      • AmazingJas on 09/12/2013 - 00:53

        $49 in store at target at the moment

      since this is online what are your shipping prices on lets say just a pokemon x game

    • duwee on 08/12/2013 - 20:35

      Will the Astro A50's be on sale too? Missed out when HN were selling them for $240 earlier this year.

    • Ventak on 09/12/2013 - 00:23

      These the only hourly ones? I see none as of this hour (12:00am-12:59am)

      • AssociatedHasquarl @ EB Games Australia on 09/12/2013 - 00:30

      buy the 3ds xl for $213 and animal crossing for $39 at target and give EB a big up yours

      • kheob on 08/12/2013 - 11:38

        How can I get a 3DS for $213?

        • lamerthanlam on 08/12/2013 - 11:42

          You can get it for 219 http://www.itglobalsale.com.au/nintendo-3ds-xl-blue.html

        • kheob on 08/12/2013 - 11:43

          Interesting. Good Guys won't match this will they? I have a $40 voucher for them from that gaming sale.

        • lamerthanlam on 08/12/2013 - 11:51
          +3

          Not sure. Jbhifi did.

          These are the steps you should do before showing them the site.

          1) Do you have 3DS XL (blue/black in stock)
          2) Do you price match?
          3) What about this site? (show them)
          4) We don't pricematch online stores… Show them the about us page.
          5) Show them ABN of itglobalonline
          6) Show them free shipping
          7) Pray and hope they'll pricematch.

          That's what I did at JBHifi. 1-6 anyway. Had a cool dude helping me out.

        • watty on 08/12/2013 - 11:58

          I would switch 1 and 2 around.

        • Circly on 08/12/2013 - 12:01

          How does step 5 help?

        • shadowfangz on 08/12/2013 - 12:12

          confirms that they are an australian retailer i assume

        • lamerthanlam on 08/12/2013 - 12:15
          +3

          No, one goes first. That way they can't pull the "we don't have stock for that sorry"

          Step 5 needs to be done because like shadow said, shows that they are an aussie retailer, helps as generally most stores outside of officeworks do not pricematch non-mainstream stores (target, HN, eb, DSE).

        • kheob on 08/12/2013 - 12:34

          Awesome, I guess I'll give it a go.

        • watty on 08/12/2013 - 12:35

          Yeah that makes sense, my bad :)

    • lamerthanlam on 08/12/2013 - 11:03
      +1

      Yeah, we should all boycott eb games.

      I hate it when retailers do stuff like this.

      I remember when there were manufacturers cashback programs and the retailers simply upped the retail price.

    • Linkwick on 08/12/2013 - 11:19

      That's pretty low. :-s

    • RI4V4N on 08/12/2013 - 11:21

      Yeah that strikes me as pretty lame, but I guess it is a nintendo promotion for buying consoles.

  • bargrin on 08/12/2013 - 09:27

    how much is shipping with these guys?

    If you buy sepereate stuff each hour, then you get charged shipping each time or can combine orders?

    • [Deactivated] on 08/12/2013 - 10:59

      Starts at $2.
      Not sure how high it goes.

  • 11112007 on 08/12/2013 - 09:32

    A lot of those games on sale are still more expensive than standard games prices at Big W.

    For example Mario 3D World is $64. ($68 in this 'sale')

    But those hourly deals are good :)

    • Jamryu on 08/12/2013 - 12:11

      Big W's price is $68 now.

  • jv on 08/12/2013 - 09:35

    Wii U
    Mario 3D World $68

    Their Wii U games are hardly a bargain…

    $52 here…

      Note that some people who have ordered it from Video Ezy are still yet to receive their copy. I'd just take it for $64 at Big W.

      • [Deactivated] on 08/12/2013 - 09:49

        They told one guy I know that they couldn't source the game as it was an obsolete line, lol

      • DragonShadow on 11/12/2013 - 18:38

        I ordered from VideoEZY on December 1 and it was dispatched December 7. Another game I ordered that was dispatched on the 3rd has already arrived, so hopefully Mario gets here soon…

        Where else are you going to find hard copies of those Ps4 games for $68-74 locally - if you're unwilling to risk international shipping this close to Christmas? Super Mario World 3d equals best price of any other local atm that i'm aware of (BigW). GTAV sells for $79 at JB, $88 at BigW.. how is $64 not a good price (let alone $55, if you hold out for the hourly)?

        'Negging' the deal, even if you take this to be purpose of 'negs' - it's not; they're supposed to be for deals dealing with shifty operators etc, as someone pointed out in Coles thread - doesn't make a lot of sense. Comparing like for like there's plenty of good deals in there.

  • Infinite Monkee on 08/12/2013 - 14:15

    All fairly average deals perhaps the only good that may come out of this are the heavily discount collector's and "limited" edition if any are left after not selling at EB Expo.

    Those complaining about the average pricing with other online retailers should realise that they'll be able to make use of the extended return policy if the game turns out to be a dud.

  • dqtl74 on 08/12/2013 - 15:25

    Nothing really "insane" about these deals regardless of what they say. Still the shirts are interesting and hopefully there's a good price on Batman: AO Blackgate for Vita.
