its back!!!
its back in stock.
I currently have 2 US models that I bought while I was in California are the Australian ones any different apart from the charger and the box?
No. all the same.
Woot! Just got mine. Stock seems to come and go for some reason.
Back again. Seems to be a problem with their system, probably too many people trying to buy it.
I just called them, they said it should still be taking orders, just keep trying.code doesn't seem to work after they've restocked, anyone else have this problem?
Code works if the item is added to your Home Delivery cart and not your Click and Collect cart. The only time it worked for me (2 minutes ago) was when Home Delivery was the only option listed on the product page and the green button said only 'Buy Now'.
Doesn't seem to give you the discount if you log in
If it's out of stock online the only way to add it to your cart is by using click and collect. If you enter the promo code in the cart page the $15 discount will show up on the delivery side but useless as this option is greyed out. Reload the page every now and then and eventually the delivery option will become available.
logout of your account and then try. logout as guest
code and free delivery worked after back in stock, awesome! $34.00 bargain basement!
Just ordered. Working fine on desktop. Was showing error in Mobile site.
FRIDAY15 is not valid
still working fine here. try emptying your cart then adding again and make sure you haven't selected click n collect. It should only come up with BUY NOW, well at least for me it did
I'm thinking of a reason to buy this (I have one already). Any suggestion?
It's cheap.
first buy, then think, the ozbargain way.
YAY! Got one. Thanks OP :)
Sold out just earlier and now magically re-appears in stock. Dick Smith overselling again huh.
back in stock again.
got mine. thanksWouldn't surprise me if in a few days you'll get an email saying there's insufficient stock and that it's on back order. It's being over sold as Dick Smith always does.
Not in a hurry to get it but it would be pretty poor of them to continue taking orders only to cancel them knowing full well they can't fulfil them.
History shows that it's the sort of thing that they do. Look at the Pioneer SEMJ511W and Pioneer SEMJ711 headphone debacle as an example.
Just keep trying guys, just got one at 4:50pm.
It seems they are constantly checking stock and adding on the go.
When I placed my order, the site said it failed but then I got an email to confirm my order.
Been holding out for this but can't resist at this price!
Nope more like the system is over selling. I've found every single sale that Dick Smith has over sells. I've found with Dick Smith online just because you successfully order it doesn't mean that you'll actually get it. There's been multiple times when Dick Smith takes orders only to cancel them and refund because of insufficient stock to fulfill the order.
thought i missed, but successfully ordered one. Thanks OP !!!
got one
You only get it when it's physically in your hands. Dick Smith can cancel orders at any time.
Thanks OP, just ordered mine!
Worked just now, 5pm, thanks OP!
Just grabbed one, $34. Worked 5pm - thanks OP :)
Deleted
giddy up
Thanks OP … Ordered 1 at 5.07pm
Just bought one. Thanks a lot.
Thanks everyone I just bought one for $34. :)
Worked for me. 519pm AEST.
thanks, placed an order and it showed in stock for delivery and code applied, all worked!
In the end, I've decided to buy this one using gift card. Thanks OP. I probably don't use it very often…
It was out of stock for me initially. Finally able to secure one! Keep trying (close and re-open the page).
Code working, purchased :)
5:54pm ESTEdit: Paypal deducted money from my debit card, the dicksmith website stated this error message "PayPal gateway has rejected request. A successful transaction has already been completed for this token (#10415: Transaction refused because of an invalid argument. See additional error messages for details)."….. Did I purchase it because I am still at the "place order" page?….
Thanks, got it.
Can someone please let me know if I login to Chromecast Play store with the same google id that I am logged in with on Android device (not supported on Chromecast) and buy/rent a movie on mobile using Telstra Prepaid Main balance, would I be able to watch that movie from Chromecast Movies app?
still working make sure you dont click on the collect and click…. empty your cart and try again else clean your cookies & cache on browser
Just received an email notice that it has been shipped.
Can I connect this device to the hdmi on the projector? and then project a powerpoint slides from my laptop?
Yes, just beware that getting the sound from the projector to external speakers could be problematic (if you need it).
Soon an update will/should be released that will let you do that without going through an existing WiFi network (may have already?).
Thanks.
in term of the sound, can I just use headphone output from the laptop to the speaker?
or it will be lag abit between sound and the picture/movie?
sorry, never use chromecast before and it would be handy for church purposes.Haven't found a way to get any sound out of the computer when casting a video to the Chromecast. If you PM me it might remind me to try it tomorrow if you'd like.
Just got mine no problem - almost logged in when it recognised my email but I got the password wrong so continued without logging in :-)
Thank you so much OP! I have been waiting for this to come on special for the past two days but thought I should wait for ozbargain and I'm so glad I did :)
You might want to review the rules for negative votes.
Not really a valid neg though. OP has posted the lowest price so whoever wants to buy it can save a few dollars.
What does this thing do? A complete list please
Scroll up or Google for it.
Ordered with PayPal for $34, thanks for the heads up, almost paid $50 a couple of months ago.
LAWL!!! Alright then I'll get one.
anybody here got the chrome cast working with netflix on the telstra supplied TG797n v3 modem?
Price matched at jb thanks op!
Thanks! Took the plunge finally and purchased one :)
Will chromecast find Samsung AllShare?
Not working for me.. Anyone getting this?
Still OK. Just ordered one. Thanks OP.
Just ordered one just then using FRIDAY15 and it worked. I'm not 100% sure what a Chromecast does but at this price it's a bargain lol!
I'm assuming it will have similar functionality to a WDTV?
No. You stream movies from chrome on yr PC or android.
Oh ok, thanks for the clarification (I prob should have googled before I bought it!)
cheers OP just bought one
Seems like if google did not get you so far, now they will.
Welcome to American corporate slavery!Great device.
Haven't used it since I bought it. But already have a full gaming PC connected to the TV with foxtel, so /shrugThanks, just ordered one! Should be good streaming some YouTube to the tv.
Hi guys, quick question, I have a smart TV that can play you tube video and I can control this YouTube app on the TV using my phone. Is this basically what the chrome cast do?
You have what you need. Don't bother with this. Simple answer to your question: YES
Thanks
Chromecast does so much more than just YouTube..
ordered today. updated to shipped .. that was fast :)
As of 7:18pm, this promo is still valid.
thanks op..I wasn't convinced if i needed it..but got one..
got one…not sure if i need it but i got one
Thanks OP.
Wanted to get one for the kids to use to watch YouTube on our dumb TV but couldn't justify the $50 price tag since we have an Xbox as well.
Cheers.Thanks OP…… just got one !!!
OzBargain sure does love Chromecast.
Is it a poor-man's HTPC, or is it something worth looking into, even if I have a proper HTPC?
Got another one.. at this price point, why bother moving it between TVs when you can just get one for each :P
So If I have a very good Smart TV do I still need the chromecast? I can just use the TV's youtube app, or the TV's inbuilt wireless streaming right? Is the only difference with the chromecast the convenience of syncing with your desktop/phone chrome?
It depends what you want and what your smart tv can do. Chromecast does a lot more than just youtube. I use mine mainly for netflix/hulu/plex/google play music/mirroring. Oh yeah and then recently I discovered popcorn time. :D
Mind if I ask how you use those services? I know Popcorn Time is free, but are the others free? Is there any otherwise paid services provided with the device? What's the VPN set up you have for Netflix?
Thanks in advance. (I'm too lazy to research this myself)I use getflix to access netflix/hulu, and yeah they are all paid services. There's other things you can stream without paying such as tv portal and xbmc. The only problem with chromecast, you have to change router settings to get those services to work, but its easy enough to do.
http://ausdroid.net/howto/chromecast-coming-heres-can-get-ne…Chromecast is still a work in progress, but at $34 its a bargain if you are looking for a cheap convenient way to stream content to your tv.
World's best YouTube tech reviewer talking about the Chromecast. Recommend watching it to anyone who doesn't understand what a Chromecast is or how it works.
*keep in mind this review is over a year old so some features have improved and functionality added, still a great video. Eg. Full screen mirroring is now possible and works well on both computers and android devices.
*already own a Chromecast and bought another from this deal, Thanks!i own 2, 1 for family, 1 for gf. my friend bought the 2 from amazon US and bring here for me, 39 aud each. Now i finally got my own with even cheaper price than amazon hehe.
Yay was lucky enough to score this deal in store. The guys there were kool to do it if you show the price with promotion coupon :)
thanks OP, chromecast at last!
You're a poet, and you know it.
Thank you very much, just ordered - back in stock.
I was disappointed when I missed out on the $39 (pick up in store) deal.
…and now $34 delivered via PayPal checkout!
Dick, you've done it again! :)
Thanks OP, just got one. :-)
