      Didn't get the wired controller, but the rest of my order is the same. Not sure about my third item yet.

  • Daibaw on 20/12/2014 - 23:25

    Nice find OP. Just purchased $140 worth of peripherals from MSY. Will claim $82 from CB so that's roughly 60% off including shipping. Yum.

      My missus uses a Microsoft 4000 I got cheap on eBay 3 years ago. I can't see that model in this deal but it is very similar to the 3500 model which lacks the 2 side-buttons.

  • dunker56 on 21/12/2014 - 08:56

    Urgh that's rubbish. I wanted to get a Surface 2 Ethernet adapter, seems that's one of the items not eligible!

    • merill on 21/12/2014 - 13:54

      The surface adapter is overpriced. Just get one from eBay for $2 (you sometime find black ones for about$5), they work the same. Or get a USB hub that has an ethernet adapter.

    • iridiumstem on 23/12/2014 - 06:55

      Yeah, as merill said, it's overpriced. Even the JB HiFi guy was like, yeah, just get a generic one. Get a USB 3.0 one, they are faster.

      • dunker56 on 13/01/2015 - 07:35

        Didn't know you could, wow ta.

        • iridiumstem on 13/01/2015 - 10:00

          I am using a generic one by TP links I think, I forgot what brand it was.

          That being said, there are ones that double as USB hubs i.e. has extra usb ports as wel as a ethernet port, which you might want.

    I may have to buy a microsoft webcam with this sale.

    I already have a logitech c920, which is supposedly one of their best, but guess what? Logitech hasn't made drivers specifically for windows 8.1.

    So there is constant screen tearing, and there's no longer any widescreen options without dropping the frame rate to 1fps. (profanity) logitech. The screen tearing is the worst part, which happens on any resolution.

    I'm sure microsoft won't (profanity) that up. Thanks OP

    • wisc on 21/12/2014 - 09:49

        their best one is Lifecam Studio, but sadly no remote zoom/pan/tilt

        • wisc on 21/12/2014 - 10:17

          Not bad should be able to grab it for 10-15…looks average though…

        • watty on 21/12/2014 - 16:55

          @wisc: Where can you get it for 10-15 (assuming that's after cash back)? I've only been able to find it around the $50-$60 price range (before cash back).

        • Dominic on 21/12/2014 - 19:26
          +2

          @watty: Cashback on the Lifecam studio is $40. So $50-$60 minus $40 cashback is $10-$20.

        • watty on 21/12/2014 - 19:32
          +1

          @Dominic: Holly cow! That's some saving there, i thought the discount was 40% off the purchased price not $40 off it. I'm sold on the studios, cheers mate.

        • Dominic on 21/12/2014 - 19:36
          +1

          @watty: No worries. I believe the discount is 40% off RRP. There's a table through the link OP posted that shows the cashback amounts per eligible item. I got the studio for $15. $58 at MSY, price matched orificeworks from $99 to $55 then $40 back through MS for $15. I don't even webcam at all.

        • watty on 21/12/2014 - 19:54

          @Dominic: I'll try MSY as well but if OW pulls out the 'plus postage card' I'll throw warcom at them which turns out to be about $20. Thanks again for the tip! (Oh and I never use webcams as well but my fairly new setup needs a webcam to complete it LOL)

          @watty:

          just put my claim though got officeworks south Melbourne to price match MSY north Melbourne. 55 bux… 40 bux back, 15 dollar 1080P camera, thank you very much MS.

          was also tempted to grab a keyboard, but cheapest I could find it to price match, would have put it at 40 bux after cashback… to much as I don't really need one.

          only other thing I was looking at was headsets, but neither MSY north Melbourne or officeworks had any in stock.

        • watty on 23/12/2014 - 16:48

          @wisc: Good stuff! Unfortunately both my local stores were out of stock and I would have to wait till after xmas for them to transfer stock from one store to the other. At least MS gives me a few extra weeks :)

  • altomic on 21/12/2014 - 09:40

    awesome deal. and 40%! !!!. bought 3 of the wireless 800s last time. they have been great.

  • talktome on 21/12/2014 - 10:14

    *Recommended retail price. Price is set by the retailer.

    I saw * on heading and I found this at bottom of terms and conditions. Is that mean you will get 40% cashback of price you purchase?
    Did anyone confirmed with ms?
    Please let me know.

    • lplau on 21/12/2014 - 10:55

      As per their previous cashback offers. They give you the money listed in the table on the page. Which is 40% of RRP. Not your purchase price. Which is why it is such a good offer, because most of the items meant you only REALLY paid around 10% of RRP as a end result.

  • ChrisLevo on 21/12/2014 - 11:05

    Thanks, OP.

    Just bought a Lifecam HD-3000 and 800 wireless keyboard mouse combo for a total of $7.90 after OW happily price matched MSY.

    Price matched skycomp at Office works in store for $80.56 - $52.00. Which should mean a total of $28.56 for this set!

      I've used the Ergonomic Desktop L5V-00027 stated above at work and I got terrible RSI from it, I gave it away to a co-worker and bought a traditional keyboard and my RSI slowly went away, my co-worker still uses it but does not enter as much data as I do.

      • addict on 21/12/2014 - 14:25

        Interesting… this one I just bought is actually my second one for my office. I bought my first one at the last microsoft event, after seeing the great reviews online. Been using ergonimic keyboards for about 10+ years now this feels very similar to the rest except this is wireless and takes up a lot less space. Not sure if thats why I had no issue with it. I also use it with the logitech trackball mouse http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-910-001799-M570-Wireless-Trac…. Great combo.

        • stemcell on 21/12/2014 - 16:29

          Not sure if it makes a difference but I stand whilst I type, otherwise I'd be up and down every 5 mins.

  • 1Dollar on 21/12/2014 - 14:24

    regarding the cashback, I will be using my partner to get 3 more devices, but can I use the same bank account for all of them?

    • bargaino on 21/12/2014 - 16:36

      Why risk the hassle? Open a new free bank account if you only have one. Can be useful as a backup if you lose your card or get it blocked.
      ING seems to be popular here.

      • 1Dollar on 22/12/2014 - 15:24

        just called the customer support and they confirm that I can use the same bank account. I already have a couple bank accounts, but having M/S cashback to the one account makes it easier for me.

    Painless price-match with MSY at Officeworks Morley. But I got the last all-in-one.
    And could not resist $3 for a 800-model combo.

    The more expensive 3000 series appears pointlessly bulky.

  • teehee on 21/12/2014 - 17:08

    Damn I'm in the NT with only an officeworks/harvey norman and no MSY to price match. Their RRP look a bit excessive to me.

  • CCDee on 21/12/2014 - 18:54

    Strange that no-one has mentioned that the Microsoft Wired Desktop 600 combo (KB+Mouse) is $15 at MSY - http://www.msy.com.au/peripherals/5662-microsoft-apb-00018-6…

    PM at OW = $14.25 - $12 casback = $2.25 if people prefer a wired solution.

    Got a couple today no hassles :)

      Nice deal, I got mine for $8 delivered from Bing Lee. I don't have physical access to MSY stores

      So the price must have dropped then because apparently the MSY ones were selling for $20 yesterday according to another commenter in this thread https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/175624

    • mmd on 22/12/2014 - 00:56

      I bought the wired 600 combo too :)
      I think most ozbargainers prefer wireless for another 75 cents, to find a use for their eneloops.

    • peterpeterpumpkin on 22/12/2014 - 20:31

      Lots of wired in stock at all MSYs which is a plus.

      I was going to buy a wireless but with the minor frustrations I'm experiencing now with my borrowed wireless I decided to revert to the ol' reliable. I suppose at least I reduced my total EMF exposure by a small percentage :) I'm not an Enelooper so I'll also save a few dollars a year on batteries.

  • Dominic on 21/12/2014 - 19:30

    Thanks OP. Picked up the all in one wireless keyboard for $9 and the Lifecam Studio for $15.

  • lplau on 21/12/2014 - 21:24

    Tried to pricematch a Lifecam Studio at OW with MSY, however OW refused to do it with the reason of "MSY return policy is different, it has a restocking fee, therefore we cannot price match".

    Strange this is the first time I tried to price match at that OW, maybe it is just the Doncaster VIC OW that is dodgy.

    • Dominic on 21/12/2014 - 22:11

      Definately dodgy. I price matched at Vermont OW no worries.

      • lplau on 21/12/2014 - 23:05

        Yea, haven't had a issue before at Ringwood, Nunawading and Vermont.
        Couldn't be bothered getting it pricematched at another OW, so I just bought it at MSY. haha

        Got a MSY near me, and would have only saved $2.5 not worth my petrol and time to get it. Just thought I would try doncaster because it was on my way home from shopping.

    • chir0nex on 21/12/2014 - 23:21

      Yeah they tried to use the same excuse with me when i was price matching today (Doncaster OW).

      They were specifically checking for restocking fee but luckily PC Case Gear had same return policy.
      Now i understand why they were checking, i didnt know before.

    • pongchang on 22/12/2014 - 15:04

      Same experience too. Doncaster OW refused to price match MSY for $33 All-in-one keyboard.

      Then I find another $31 on their ipad and they beat it as $29.5.

      Save $2, Thanks OW.

      • lplau on 22/12/2014 - 15:41

        Yea, Try another OW, Doncaster is being bitchy. I price matched Ringwood, Nunawading and Box Hill easily.

    • merill on 23/12/2014 - 15:34

      It all depends on the place. The guys at fountain gate in Narre Warren are the same. I now go to a newly opened one at Dandenong and they price match it no questions asked. If at all possible I try to buy it directly from the store that sold it without giving my business to dodgy OW.

      Good to see you read the fine print - I don't think it deserves a neg for being diligent and seeking reassurance.

      When dealing with Microsoft, if no money is involved you're dealing with Microsoft in the US. But if money is involved, you're dealing with Microsoft's Nevada corporation's Singapore branch:

      Microsoft Services Agreement 12.f:

      If you live in (or, if you're a business, you're headquartered in) Asia or the South Pacific, and you're using cost-free portions of the Services (such as Bing and MSN), you're contracting with Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052. If you have paid to use a portion of the Services, you're contracting with Microsoft Regional Sales Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S.A., with a branch in Singapore, having its principal place of business at 438B Alexandra Road, #04-09/12, Block B, Alexandra Technopark, Singapore, 119968.

      Microsoft reduced its 2011 federal tax bill by a whopping $2.43 billion — or 44 per cent — by using a wide, international network of controlled foreign corporations and the exploitation of various loopholes in the U.S. corporate tax code.
      …
      Both the Ireland and Singapore arrangements are designed to subvert U.S. taxes entirely.

      As the article notes, Microsoft has a true OzBargainer's heart,

      It makes perfect business sense to manoeuvre the corporate structure to minimize taxes, and there is a compelling argument that current conditions are set up so that companies would be financially irresponsible not to do it.

        You aswell, will be better off claiming ur purchase on tax if you use ur MS hardware for study/ work purposes , reducing the purchase price a further few bucks

    I picked up the Wireless 3000 set and the all in one multimedia keyboard today, desktop PC and HTPC are about 7m away from each other.

    Both the keyboards interfere with each other :( I haven't sussed it out yet, I know some of the older models let you change the channel they transmit on but can't see that option with either of these two.

    Anyone had the same issue?

    Was just about to place an order with PLE for the xbox controller.

    They've bumped up the price to $36. Not happy. Wont be buying from them now.

      At $36 they're still equal cheapest on the item. Is it a bad thing for a company to try to make money, but still offer competitive prices?

        No, but it is considered bad practice around ozbargain #lookatdicksmith/goodguys
        I refuse to buy from them now, as $16 is too much for the occasional PC gamer :(

          Considering its on backorder, I'm sure they won't miss 1 order ;)

          Besides, an extra couple of bucks is what, a tub of icecream? :P

          @Spackbace:
          $6 = Connoiseur with change OR M600 Keyboard combo ($2.25) + M800 Keyboard combo ($3.00) with change. I bought this combo on Sunday after getting Officeworks to pricematch MSY. :P
          I'm going to hold out, and check again towards the end of the promo. Hope it will revert back to $30.

      Atleast they didn't change it back to the normal price. They sold out all their stock and were getting new stock from other suppliers. It is quite fair of them to increase the price by a couple of dollars.

      Pretty sure the price increase is due to it not being the weekly special anymore.

      It was labelled as "on special" last week…eg:

      …but has been replaced with a new set of specials:

      In fact, I think their normal price is $40, so $36 is stil decent IMO.

    • sammysamsam on 24/12/2014 - 01:39

      You are right, they have bumped up the price from $30 to $33 and now to $36.

      I guess they are trying to capitalize on the cash back offer.
