I can't find a reference to it on the EB Games front page, but they seem to be dumping a bunch of stuff.

Not a lot of gold in there, but if you want to pickup a few older games there seems to be some good choices.

Edit: Seems EB Games is still updating the site. Some games are available online, some in-store only. If someone finds a list of what's on sale directly on the site, please let me know.

    Wow, this would have to be the most detail starved bargain I've seen.

    "Someone has stuff if you want it."

    EDIT: Whoa, slow down…you've now added the price of an item!

      Well it's in the gaming category, I think most people know that EB Games sells … games, and they seem to have reduced games on most every platform.

      So not really sure what else I could say :-)

      For reference when I commented this was the contents of the post.
      "I can't find a reference to it on the EB Games front page, but they seem to be dumping a bunch of stuff."

      Glad to see some actual prices now.

      In relation to your site it seems to be useful. Here's a few wishlist items that would make life easier for someone using your site.
      * The ability to click on the headings to sort
      * Regarding the dropdown for platform, a set of checkboxes would allow us to select a few platforms rather than currently the one or all choice.

    It's just another one of their sales, they have one every 2-3 months

      FTFY. I've never seen an EB Games that wasn't completely plastered in sale signs.

      • alizzan on 06/03/2014 - 10:53

        And yet still more expensive than almost any other games vendor. What a joke.

      I know eh?

      I busted a gut for many hours of my own time to create a site which is affiliation and kickback free to try to let Aussies get the best prices for video games.

      I'm such an attention-seeker.

      • Roary on 07/02/2014 - 13:56

        Yeah I see the negativity in ozbargain far too much.

        You've told us something that may be of interest to some people - and you're getting abused for it. Makes no sense to me.

        I shall take a look at their website and thank you.

        Don't let the haters get you down. Thanks to your site I've picked up plenty of fleeting bargains that I otherwise would have missed (especially from the fine folks at Fishpond.com.au :-) ).

      • tron07 on 07/02/2014 - 14:53

        are you a REP for the Goat? perhaps you should check the REP. cause the link you posts goes to your site instead of EBGames

      • benstu777 on 07/02/2014 - 15:00

        Love the Ozgamegoat site.
        So from my understanding the complaint was that you gave us information before EBGames was able to and as such your info was limited…yeeahhh, that's a justified complaint.

      • davedrastic on 07/02/2014 - 15:09
        +4

        Could you post the link to your website again please

        No worries - just found it http://www.ozgamegoat.com/

        Can I give you some feedback based on 0.5 seconds…

        Having the price on the far right would be best (not the savings) - just got excited about Splinter Cell for $1 then my hopes dashed. But don't panic, I'll get over it.

        • Marrk on 07/02/2014 - 19:00

          I agree with the above feedback, good website though. :)

      I never thought of it as bogan, just Australian.

      That's a sad association there.

        you can see the bogan in his eyes. Definitely bogan. Or should I say, defo.

  • whodidthat on 07/02/2014 - 13:53

    This is a tricky one, tardisx. The website link is handy but the list for EB games is store specific so not available for everyone. Those I looked at were in specific stores all over the place, maybe only one or a few available in each store? Wasn't limited to particular stores (ie road a in Sydney, road b in Brisbane) but could be anywhere.

    Unfortunately a lot here don't like these kind of group deal listings where you may mean well but doesn't look good in print IYKIM.

    I think some should point out good reasons why they don't like a post, or maybe not even comment, rather than slate people off.
    Those posting may mean well!

    • tardisx on 07/02/2014 - 14:01

      Thanks for your comments.

      I think you're right in terms of store availability, but there's no way for me to tell that for each title, obviously.

      ozgamegoat only (well, it's supposed to only) show prices if they are available for online ordering (though many are also available for pickup).

    This is EB's February Stocktake sale, the prices are just being updated on the website, also that's why they are mostly in stock in stores only, limited stock.
    You might want to update the title

  • gibspmuh on 07/02/2014 - 14:44

    New copies of Transformers Prime for $12 on Wii U is the best I've seen. The Wii U Turtle Beach headsets are down even further to $12 too.

  • smurfinaus on 07/02/2014 - 15:07

    Didn't realise there was an actual sale on, but when I cruised past this arvo I saw The Darkness 2 for sale for $4 on PS3, which is a great price for a great game!

  • Hoolio on 07/02/2014 - 21:50

    Dead Space II for $8, managed to price match at JB Hifi

  • wtfnodeal on 07/02/2014 - 22:50

    Can anyone highlight any good games at good prices for ps3 and ps vita?

    • blankedboy on 08/02/2014 - 16:50

      Bulletstorm for $8 on PS3 is well worth picking up. Really enjoyed the OTT nature of the campaign. Mass Effect 2 for $8 is definitely worth getting as well.

  • mrgeckoz on 07/02/2014 - 23:23

    saw these in westfield doncaster! really good bargains!

    Thanks to the OP brought 2x Risen 2 for $8 on PS3 and traded them in at another EB for $26.80. Also have another Risen 2 for myself and still 2x Mud to trade in for $24. Spent $20 in total, got Risen 2 for myself and another $40.80 in trade-in credit.

    • wtfnodeal on 08/02/2014 - 20:05

      Hang on. They sold them to you for $8 and you turn around and traded them in for $24???

      • COR80 on 08/02/2014 - 20:52

        Yeah I want to hear more too. How the hell do you work that?

        • Torana1974 on 08/02/2014 - 22:42
          +3

          To determine trade in value on a game you take a third of the preowned sale price. The games new are discounted at the moment, but the trade in value still is through the roof as the preowned price is actually higher than new price atm. So if you buy from one store that has Risen 2 for $4 new, then go to another to trade it you can make a profit if you don't believe me check Risen 2 price on the website then call your local store and ask the trade in value you will find I am correct in my claims.

          This also works with MUD and Port Royale 3 that are both listed at $4. Will not work with Brink, Duke Nukem or The Darkness II.

        • COR80 on 08/02/2014 - 23:41

          Nice man. Wish people working for the government knew how to extract value-for-money like that.

        • Torana1974 on 09/02/2014 - 00:18

          Thanks. Hope this helps you out with your future purchases and trade-ins.

        • wtfnodeal on 09/02/2014 - 00:20

          Well done. I Never thought of trading in as always had the impression would only get a dollar or two and couldn't be bothered. Have you worked out how many times you need to repeat it to earn a free ps4?

        • Torana1974 on 09/02/2014 - 08:33

          Many times lol, that's how I secured my 2 PS4 when they were released day 1. Kept looking for the expensive games through the website, things like Tiger Woods Golf 12 and 13, Dynasty Warriors 6 to 8 and MotoGP 08, 09/10 and 10/11 through Cash Converters cheap and trade in at a profit and keeping putting money into my orders. Think in total it was $735 in cash and the actual price to buy the games before trade in. The other $365 I didn't pay for, the store did thanks to knowing how to make a profit. I would say 2x PS4s for $735 is good value from day one.

        • flyingmudkip on 09/02/2014 - 15:11

          How did you get $26.80 for 2x risen? It says preowned price is $24 on the site. So 1/3 of 24 is $8. Which makes is $16 for 2x risen and only a profit of $8. Also same with MUD.

        • Torana1974 on 09/02/2014 - 15:23

          The price online is not always correct ring your local store and ask the preowned price for both games and you will find I am correct, its incorrect online compared to instore prices and both games are like $6 more than listed online. If you send me your email I will personally send a photo of my receipt as proof. Plus I have a level 4 card which gives 20% extra trade in.

  • wtfnodeal on 08/02/2014 - 20:09

    I bought XCOM Enemy Within for $46 on PS3 from this sale.

    Great, Diablo 2 for $4 also original Starcraft is also $4.

    Both with REALLY great replay value!!!

    I really miss the old times when PC games didn't need steam or origin or something worse.
