Right now on Dick Smith's website they have FIFA 15 for preorder at $69.98. However a very poorly advertised advantage of pre-ordering game with Dick Smith, is when you pre-order games through them in store, you get $10 off on the day of release. I.e. when you actually go to pick up the order, they take $10 off the game. This means if you pre-order in store you can pick up this game for $59.98.

I figured this is a pretty good deal considering how ridiculously expensive FIFA games are and stay when released. So enjoy, and I hope this helps someone!

Games for this price as advertised in the catalogue:
For PS4/XBOX ONE
FIFA 15
Destiny
Madden 15

For PC:
The Sims 4

You may also be able to get the $10 off for other products (it has applied to quite a few games I've bought in the past), but you would have to ask you local store.

UPDATE: Just some official confirmation on that in store pre-order price thanks to aardvark7

EDIT: I thought I should mention, it is definitely also this price in store.

      "in store", read ya fool

    • SavatteDodo on 31/08/2014 - 12:20

      If you buy online it is still a preorder. Contact dse for $10 refund. They should be able to do it.

      • Lockdude on 31/08/2014 - 12:55

        The catalogue specifically says in store, so I'm not convinced you would be able to do that.

  • Zylam Marex on 31/08/2014 - 12:14

    Does the 10 dollar apply to all pre orders?

    So if I go and pre order Horizon 2 or Masterchief right now they will give it to me at 59 on release?

    Do the staff know about this?

    Thanks!

    • Lockdude on 31/08/2014 - 12:37

      I'm not sure whether or not it applies to all pre-orders, but I know it applies to a lot. When the staff scan in the game they can see whether or not you'll get the discount. Your best bet is to just contact them. I've used this $10 discount a few times, but I never see it advertised anywhere by Dick Smith, so I can't give you a definitive sorry, I just know it applies to this game, and every other one I've pre-ordered from Dick Smith, just make sure it's in store =)

  • aardvark7 on 31/08/2014 - 12:14

    It is advertised as $59.98 for the in store pre-order:

      Dick Smith have stopped stocking Nintendo products. You'll only find old Nintendo stock online and in store.

          They were to clear their stock out at the prices they did…

        • Dany34 on 01/09/2014 - 00:04

          This happened long ago. Very annoying since they have decent prices on games as of late.

      • [Deactivated] on 31/08/2014 - 17:59

        This is not why it's not on Wii U. It's EA is pulling the plug on the Wii U dude to it's dismal sales and marketshare. Funny enough it's coming to Wii and 3DS.

  • sinners007 on 31/08/2014 - 12:36

    It's not a poorly advertised advantage. The actual offer is $10 off when you pre-order so $59.98 is the actual pre-order cost.

    The loophole which used to allow customers to get $10 off twice ($20 all up) was closed after The Last of Us advert wording.

    • Lockdude on 31/08/2014 - 12:39

      I meant poorly advertised in the sense that despite it applying to a LOT of games, they only mention it sometimes =)

  • tensai on 31/08/2014 - 13:06

    anyone know if PS3 version is also the same price for pre-order?

      You really should go next gen, even if your mostly a SP gamer, almost everything is better on next gen, better graphics, more people to game with, controllers more intuitive

        the saving of this $10 will contribute to the PS4 funds……..

        I have no reason to go next gen, the two main uses of my PS3 is Fifa/NHL and some fighting games, and the PS3 media server, because they decided for some stupid reason to get rid of DLNA support, media servers dont exist so there is literally no point in me going out and spending 400~ on a PS4.

    I am going to get a jb hifi $50 voucher - at the moment you get 20% off next purchase as a Father's Day deal.

    They charge $69 which makes it $54 ish.

    • jeppetto367 on 31/08/2014 - 13:22

      They charge $79 for the PS4/XBONE version.

    • 6000SUX on 01/09/2014 - 08:38

      i swear i saw it in store @ barkley square brunswick VIC for $99. Hopefully i'm wrong though…

      (as i was thinking of doing the 20% thing too at JB)

    • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 01/09/2014 - 22:30

      Read the T&C for the JB hifi voucher. Pre-orders are excluded. Yes the price will remain the same on launch, but theres no guarantee youll get your vanguard DLCs

  • nathan-drake on 31/08/2014 - 14:40

    JUST USE the code DADSDAY20 and you get 20 bucks off any order over $99. So you can get the games for $60 each online, such as far cry 4 and ac unity

    • vinatlasx on 31/08/2014 - 15:38

      Only issue with this is that I'm pretty sure DSE charge your credit card immediately after you confirm the pre-order which isn't good for some people who can't afford it immediately.

  • TRENT86 on 31/08/2014 - 15:18

    Destiny and last of us PS4 $55 each delivered when you buy both together here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/159121

    • Ronson on 31/08/2014 - 17:17

      Must be a typo as the catalogue states the PS4 Destiny Bundle White releases the 9th of September.

  • kml22 on 31/08/2014 - 17:25

    Went to my local DSE store to pre-order but they sold out, said they can put in a back order for the same price, which mean I don't get the game on release date. So I'll give it a pass.

    • jiakz on 31/08/2014 - 18:12

      What game was this?

      • dqtl74 on 31/08/2014 - 22:46

        I'd assume Destiny.

    wait so if I have already pre-ordered online, I get $10 off on release date for sure? Sorry little confused here…

  • nongming on 01/09/2014 - 13:58

    ok, so during my lunch break, I've been to dicksmith, jb and EB

    dicksmith said they were out of pre-orders, fair enough, ppl have been sayin this as well

    went to EB, they said they only stock the limited edition, which is $99, so they can't pricematch

    went to JB, they said they only take a $10 deposit for pre-orders, so they can't gaurantee how much it'll be when the game actually launches..

    so…no preorders placed today…

    • [Deactivated] on 01/09/2014 - 15:32

      G'day Mate,

      EB allowed me to pre order for $59. I had paid in full and he let me transfer the money I relieved back to another pre order.

    • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 01/09/2014 - 22:32

      Limited edition for $99? are you sure? all the EB i went to say Lim Ed is $130 and all sold out.

    Hi, Dick Smith Employee here.

    Yes, Dick Smith do a promotion where if you pre-order a title, you are entitled $10 off the price the day you collect it. What happens is you will be sold an item using a preorder code; so on the receipt will look like (I have not heard of an end date for this promotion, but they have been doing it for a while):

    YG10xxxPREORDER

    When you come to pick up the product, This code is refunded and sell a new code:

    YG10xxxOFFER

    which is $10 off the normal price/normal code YG10xxx.

    One thing to note, from previous experiences, don't leave your preorder til the day before or really close to the release date. Sometimes we don't receive said items until the day of release and they go by how many preorders we had several days before. One example was the Diablo 3 expansion on PC. 3 days prior to launch we had like 1 or 2 preorders, the day before it went to about 15. We got sent 3 copies for 15 preorders.

  • [Deactivated] on 01/09/2014 - 15:11

    Dick Smith sold out, EB games was more than happy to price match. Thanks for the post.

    • sinners007 on 01/09/2014 - 22:35

      EB games I went to (Box Hill) used the excuse that their version was the Vanguard version so they wouldn't price match Dick Smith.

      • sinners007 on 02/09/2014 - 11:43

        Went to Big W. They will be selling Destiny for $74. They price match. I asked them if they would match the Dick Smith price and their excuse was that the Dick Smith catalogue has a release date of 25 Sept for Destiny so, they would price match it after 25 Sept…and because Big W won't be taking pre-orders, only at the $69.98 price. LOL.

      • r0kk on 08/09/2014 - 23:21

        Dick Smith is only selling the Vanguard edition to those who asked for it when they preordered. Not too sure if the price is/will be the same

    • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 01/09/2014 - 22:39

      EB games i went to (knox) said that they cant pricematch preorders, they can only price match when the game comes out. So they would only be able to price match when DSE goes up $10.

      Jb hifi also used the excuse of the vanguard edition

      • dqtl74 on 01/09/2014 - 23:58

        I also got that excuse from EB. Might try another one around my area.

        • nongming on 02/09/2014 - 11:37

          same thing here, said they provide the vanguard edition.

          They also added the fact that dicksmith wasn't in the shopping centre and they only pricematch stores within the same centre…i dunno…sounds like people are just thinking of excuses on the spot

        • p1owz0r on 08/09/2014 - 18:21

          @nongming:
          Hence why I never go to eb, always excuses
