    • Alley Cat on 20/12/2014 - 12:37

      Am I missing something on the 360 Controller or did they just up the price? It's $30 from PLE, 40% off would be $18 right?

      Also it says *Excludes Xbox and Surface accessories.

      • dzf on 20/12/2014 - 12:41

        It's 40% off Microsoft's RRP of $49.95, so $20 cashback

          How sure are you that they will honour it? Think you can use it for both…

        • 3ah3ah on 22/12/2014 - 08:30

          So can the controller be use with the xbox 360 console or not? How different it is to the normal wireless control from eb games? Want to buy a pair for my nephew so want to double check before buying

          @3ah3ah:
          Yes it can be used with your 360, and the included dongle allows it (and any of your 360 controllers) to be used with a Windows PC as well.

        Microsoft All In One Media Keyboard - $9 after C/B

        Nice find, that's the lowest price I've ever seen for a branded wireless media keyboard with trackpad, great for HTPC. Looks like the best deal other than the xbox 360 wireless controller. Lots of other good deals though.

        Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 $13 after C/B?!?
        You mean we get 13 $ for the cashback right?

        I was a bit surprised when you said $13 for the Final Price. With 40% off from MSY which is $45, you should be able to get $18 for the CashBack 45 - 18 = $27 (There is no big different in price, Even though the Good Guys and Officrworks can easily beat price by 5%)

        Also, I they did mention this item should be claim individually? What does it mean? Maximal C/B claim are for 3 items

          AHHHHH SHIEEEETTttttt…

          Thank you for the neg, I appreciate it.
          Just wondering about the OP+your statement, it's very TRICKY for me at first when I read it.
          It's take a while for me to realize it until the "Thunder Shock to my Head"
          I think the others also misunderstood the OP description since it's ambiguous.

          OP should COPY+ PASTe the price in microsoft official website and put it on description and state BOLDYLY
          NOTE: PLEASE SEE THE TABLE BELOW FOR THE PRICE DEDUCTION. IT's NOT 40% off the RETAILER PRICE BUT the price deduction is according to the TABLE BELOW
          This is my advice is, otherwise people will kept asking the same thing over and over again

          BTW Merry Xmas

        • rodinthink on 22/12/2014 - 02:12

          @rodinthink:

          BTW, For the Microsoft natural Ergonomic 4000 , I really reccomend it for the Progammer or Clerk . It have a good review in AMAZON 4 out of 5 in 3,361 reviews even though some people dont like it. It's very comfy to use even though it takes time for you to get used to it. The N Keyboard is a bit bigger + the Space is a bit hard to push (for very sensitive people)

          Nice find "Backspace", bought it full price at PCcaseGear, flipping my Keybo%R%^$I&!T#&^Y&!(R RAard now

          Abit of quick advice : Also for you guys who live in isolated place like Darwin,NT (Yes I'm an "alien"), perhaps it's better to buy it via centrecom.com.au since it's not available in MSY.

          Also, I they did mention this item should be claim individually? What does it mean?
          -Sorry for the noob question, I'm quite new to these stuff please be gentle-man
          Note that Maximal C/B claim are for 3 items for those who are to lazy to read

        When the solar panel rebates were on,the rebate was from the Federal Gov, yet solar panel prices were inflated. You get it now?

        • Flying Ace on 21/12/2014 - 22:46

          No need to be so narky. The solar panel rebate scheme is hardly in the same ballpark. You're not getting fly-by-night Microsoft accessories resellers coming and going for the rebate period.

      • Utopian on 11/01/2015 - 14:56

        It happened with the eBay Big TV & BBQ Paypal promotions. Customers were saving BIG money, so some retailers bet on the fact they could eat-into it & still make sales.

        EDIT: Well, PLE computers have put-up the cost of the XBOX controllers. So there's one example already.

        Microsoft are playing games with their RRP, anyway.
        Lowered RRP ~37%, which means $20 less cashback per item.

        • DentArthurDent on 22/12/2014 - 10:27

          I can confirm the code really is 7MP-00006 as I brought this last week at MSY ($59) as a gift so its still unopened. It says on the box 7MP-00006 right above the serial number. Hopefully MS will update their cashback page - not that my purchase will qualify anyway :(

      The 2.4 GHz USB dongles aren't WiFi.

      Answer: if you want maximum compatibility, go for USB.

      If you don't want a dongle, and you have Bluetooth built in, go for Bluetooth.

        • nismo on 20/12/2014 - 14:12

          I've got both kinds of wireless mice, Bluetooth and the dongle variety.

          Sometimes Bluetooth drops out, which is annoying, to the point where I've had to remove & re add the device occasionally. Logitech 555b, otherwise a great mouse though.

          The usb dongle, I've never had drop out and also provides more wake up functions from what I remember. But of course it does use up one of your usb slots.. I think this one is the Microsoft 1000 mouse. Bought during a previous cash back for next to nothing

    • Nousernamehere on 20/12/2014 - 14:41

      Do people even bother reading the site that is linked in the OP?!?

      To receive your 40% cash back simply upload a scan of your purchase receipt and submit it via this form no later than 20th February 2015. For multiple purchases on one receipt, each product must still be claimed individually. Offer valid between 20th December and 1st February 2015.

      • maogua on 20/12/2014 - 14:56
        +1

        I read that already and of course I will make the claim individually, however the receipt that I will email to Microsoft will be the exact same receipt. That's why I have my doubt, is that not legit?

        • Nousernamehere on 20/12/2014 - 18:37
          +1

          They've mentioned it in what I quoted. If they're on the same receipt you just upload the same receipt for each claim (as you can only claim one of them per claim anyway).

          I'm not seeing where the confusion is coming from?

  • Mamong on 20/12/2014 - 14:51

    Am I correct in assuming that you'll actually make money by buying this mouse?

    http://www.msy.com.au/viconline/peripherals/6284-microsoft-3…

    According to the MS website, that is eligible for $28 cashback and MSY are only charging $24 for it. The SKUs on the MSY site line up with the MS one.
