Fellow OzBargainers, here's a great deal!

First and foremost - full credit goes to Zirkaloy for letting us know about this deal in Whirlpool (http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2273473&p…)

Of all the places, I didn't expect Bookworld to stock Wii-U items, but hey, for $35 delivered for a Pro Controller, I'm not complaining!

How to get the deal:
1. Go to bookworld and become a 'Citizen' if you aren't already
2. Add however many controllers you want to your cart
3. Apply the Code BW-CHJUNE (Credit: Jellyqueen123 from https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/150022, thanks!)
4. Chuck in your details and submit
5. Pray to god it gets honoured

Now the sad stuff:
- You will have to wait 2-3 weeks as they don't have it in stock
- For a price this good, Bookworld may cancel your order

With all that said, place your orders! ;)

    They better not, if they do, I'll cancel the books I bought on the same order…

    Thanks for posting…

    • jv on 24/06/2014 - 12:23

      They've already processed my payment…

  • Kugz on 24/06/2014 - 12:20

    Cheers, bought one :) let's see if it goes through!

  • LolwutMikka on 24/06/2014 - 12:20

    Thanks OP, but it's only letting me add 3 to one order.

    Edit: Nvm, able to reuse code so ordered twice

        Because there's 4 people in my family who play

        • PurchaseAnxiety on 24/06/2014 - 17:23

          My bad, misread as you order 2 lots of 3. Was wondering why you needed 6 controllers for console that supports 4 :p

      • Pielo on 24/06/2014 - 15:06

        I guess he wanted to add 4 in his cart but was stuck with only 3 (for some reason?). He probably ordered 2 controllers twice :)

  • tmt on 24/06/2014 - 12:25

    Thanks OP, just ordered myself one.

  • sleepyowl on 24/06/2014 - 12:27

    Cheers OP! Now the missus doesn't have to use the crappy wii mote for mario kart anymore :)

  • Anivee on 24/06/2014 - 12:28

    yeesss, thank you! bought both a black one and a white one.

    i've never been able to find these cheap since cash converters had 6 of them in for $26 each (after bargaining) and I only bought 2. now 4 player mario kart and smash will be enjoyed by all, the pro controllers are so good.

  • cloudie9 on 24/06/2014 - 12:32

    Bought one! Hope it gets through! Thanks op!

  • shizmo on 24/06/2014 - 12:33

    Anyone have an issue where there controller wont charge? I plug it in and it turns on but will never charge, even when not in use… I have to use it plugged into the USB port :(

    • mashimus on 24/06/2014 - 12:38

      Try a different USB cable.

    • Anivee on 24/06/2014 - 12:38

      It should still be under warranty (hopefully), that's definitely a fault, i'd contact Nintendo.

      They've repaired by 3DS three times for free, and I was out of warranty! I'm sure they'll fix/replace a controller.

    • IDontWantToSignUpJu… on 24/06/2014 - 12:50

      I noticed my one charges with the cable that came with it but not shitty cheap ebay ones I've bought. mashimus is right - try a different cable - specifically the one that came with it.

    • gakpie on 24/06/2014 - 13:17

      I had this issue. Tried other cables, and charging from Wii U ports and other USB ports. Wouldn't take a charge, so it was returned for replacement. (Replacement works fine).

    Been umming and ahhing (well that looks dumb when it's written down…) about getting one of these - this price was too good to pass up! Cheers, montorola! :D

    • Anivee on 24/06/2014 - 12:37

      it's their best controller since the GC imo, you won't regret it!

      • johnno07 on 24/06/2014 - 12:44

        And I'll buy a GC controller adapter with Super Smash to have one person on the gamepad, one on the pro controller and two on GC controllers. Cannot wait!

  • pasta on 24/06/2014 - 12:38

    Awesome price, needed to get one of these before smash bros.
    Also available in white at the same price:

  • Richy on 24/06/2014 - 12:45

    Great price, thanks OP. Just on back order however, so looking like at least 2 weeks until shipped. Worth the wait for this price.

    And since when did Bookworld sell gaming hardware…

  • j2009 on 24/06/2014 - 12:46

    Thanks op, bought two, Dont forget to use the cashback offers guys.

    • LolwutMikka on 24/06/2014 - 13:19

      What cashback offer?

  • azorax on 24/06/2014 - 12:51

    Ahhh, offer is so good, wish I didn't pick one up 2 days ago and arriving today.

    Though please take note from the other post:
    offer is only redeemable on books and excludes CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, eBooks, eReaders, stationery, calendars, gifts, accessories and Bookworld Gift currency.
    t&c.

    Maybe they won't realise, or maybe they don't care but ah, wish I haven't spent so much money in the past couple weeks.

    • cloudie9 on 24/06/2014 - 12:54

      Could be their web developer not doing a proper job with the coding, nevertheless, if they can't honor, guess our money will be refunded, no qualms as what the OP had said, might not get honored.

    What games is this good for with the Wii U? Only super smash brothers?

    Edit: I also got a Wii classic controller, any point for me to get?

    • montorola on 24/06/2014 - 13:07

      Pretty much every game, alot of people feel more comfortable using this than the original gamepad that comes with the console. Not to mention how glary that gamepad is when you're trying to concentrate on the TV!

  • Hiphopopotamus on 24/06/2014 - 13:19

    i've heard great things (and some bad) about this controller, i would've jumped on this if i didn't already order a couple from Japan using that ebay code.

    one of the things nintendo got right this time is the battery! 80hrs life, rechargeable and easily user replaceable, perfect.

    • jv on 24/06/2014 - 13:22

      80hrs life, rechargeable and easily user replaceable, perfect.

      Does the controller come with the charger ?

      • Hiphopopotamus on 24/06/2014 - 13:28

        it charges through regular mini-usb, a cable is included.

        edit: oops, meant to write user replaceable 'battery'…

  • Polde on 24/06/2014 - 13:46

    Word of warning though. If you came from transferring Wii VC games to Wii U and was originally using the GC controller to play them(like I did), and was hoping these would work to play them too, they won't.

    You'll need the Classic Controller Pro, which has also been discontinued..

    • Roary on 24/06/2014 - 13:50

      Are you sure?

      This list does not include games released on Nintendo's Virtual Console as the Wii U Pro Controller can also be used for all Wii U Virtual Console games.

      • Polde on 24/06/2014 - 14:04

        Yeah I actually bought a Wii U Pro Controller before and went to try and play Secret of Mana with another player, and it simply doesn't register the controller. It worked fine when not in Wii mode.

    Not in stock.

  • Kugz on 24/06/2014 - 13:59

    Looks like both the White and Black controllers are 'not in stock' at the moment so either they've realized the code is working for them or they've hit automatic stock limits or something.

    Hello Oz Bargainers,
    Due to unprecedented demand we had to stop sales of the Wii Pro Controllers earlier today.
    Our supplier was completely wiped out of stock.
    If you haven't had a shipping confirmation yet then that means your order is on back order but rest assured we plan to honour all the orders that we received.
    If you ordered the white then I'm afraid we won't be able to get any more but if you missed out, we will replace your white order with the black controller. If this is not satisfactory then please contact [email protected] with your order number & we can arrange a full refund. We apologise for any inconvenience.
    The discount voucher is still valid on books until midnight Wednesday.
    Thanks to everyone who took advantage of the deal.
    Keep a look out for more Bargains on Bookworld.
    Yes we have games & will be launching a full range in August.

    Ordered four (4) White Pro Controllers yesterday night at 00:45am (24/06/14). There was already no stock left from the past couple of days, but my payment was processed and my invoice shows "Generally shipped in 2-3 weeks". I'm not sure if I'm going to get the White or the Black ones now :/

      • Pielo on 24/06/2014 - 20:01

        I sent Bookworld an email, to let me know which color I will get. I was planning on getting my Wii U Thursday. I don't really want to end up with a White Wii U and Black controllers!

        And I haven't found any good deal on the Wii U Premium (with Nintendo Land).

        • montorola on 24/06/2014 - 20:52

          Why don't you get the Big W Premium Pack with New Super Mario Bros U + Luigi U for $378, I think that's a good deal.

          If you really want Nintendo Land, buy it seperately, as there is an abundance of them in EB Games and on eBay.

    • jv on 07/07/2014 - 02:13

      And you only ordered one?

      • bxpressiv on 07/07/2014 - 12:09

        Nah, one black and one white but they substituted the white for black. I would have thought shipping wise it wouldn't be that efficient to do two packages a day apart.

        • jv on 07/07/2014 - 22:43

          I would have thought shipping wise it wouldn't be that efficient to do two packages a day apart.

          Sometimes, the processing costs (time) of combining orders exceeds the cost of postage…

          Bookdepository do this too… I ordered a dozen kids books once a couple of years back, and they all arrived separately…
