          I tried to search for the Touro HDD a couple of weeks ago online and the old site was useless (it couldnt calculate my postcode/ suburb).
          I think the site has been updated, so you can actually check store levels.

          Seriously, not sure why big W bother

          simply to get people through the door in the hope that they may buy some other useless shit they dont want or need. its been a sales tactic they have used since i worked there in the early/mid 80's

          The "Drop Zone" is specifically to get rid of discontinued items, the problem with that is a lot of stores will have already sold their stock before the price drops. It's frustrating, for both sides, we get calls all day about items we haven't had for months. But for a few stores, they get to clear inventory that otherwise won't move.

        • Tasmaniac on 04/05/2015 - 21:44

          @Rohlan: Are you saying that even if you take 50% off discontinued lines they still won't sell?

          +1

          @Tasmaniac:
          No, there are some discontinued items that won't sell at full price, that's the purpose of the drop zone. Being discontinued doesn't automatically drop the price, it just means we won't be getting any more of them.

          Although with that being said, there are some things that just won't sell. For years my store had an excess amount of Bratz games for the PS2, you couldn't even give that shit away.

          @Rohlan: no wonder Big W is not making money- all that money spent on advert just to clear the discontinued stock!!
          Why not just slap the reduced to clear sticker on them and put them in prominent place to sell the stock.

          @ashikk:
          Well Big W did hire outside consultants, and the drop zone was one of their ideas. So if I had to venture a guess I'd say it's because it's not enough to just work, it has to be seen working.

          see my reply above. the whole problem with most old businesses is that a lot of them cling to the same old business models that made them so much money in the past and cant work out why they are now going broke in the internet age…

    Might pay to check in store some of these if there's something you really want. A couple of the legos i know to be 'in stock' (some Ninjago etc) list as 'out of stock' on the online search of my local.

      Just a few stores showing stock (or low stock) of the 500GB Touros. Snap em up guys! Hope this helps. My nearest is 130km away so I'm out.

      VIC Shepparton

        I checked the SA Marion store on sat. Said 3 in stock…
        Called first thing Sunday morning, and they said there were none in stock.
        No stock anywhere in a 1hr radius.
        They said that the website doesn't update for a day or two…WTF !.
        Also no click and collect. Would have been a better option.

        And yes, I have gone instore and bought big so now my lounge room is the new…
        "Drop Zone".

    • iCheap on 04/05/2015 - 19:34

      Ugh, the staff at Mandurah, Joondalup and Riverton insisted they didn't have any stock but most of the people I spoke to had no idea what I was asking for. I've been chasing one of these for weeks - if anyone scored, has post-ozbargain buyer's remorse and wants to offload one, PM me!

      • mmd on 04/05/2015 - 20:52

        Next time you call, ask to transfer to the relevant area eg HDDs are located in the home entertainment area. The guy at Riverton said straight away he didn't have any in stock. He must have had a few calls already. :(

          the 2013 release of the 16GB doesn't have a back camera.. 2014 does.. not that it makes much difference, just a heads up

          anyways i checked Merrylands.. they couldn't find it even though website says in stock

        • [Deactivated] on 04/05/2015 - 18:46

    Gungahlin BigW this morning had LEGO Star Wars Red Five X-Wing Starfighter as to low stock. I was there at opening time. None were available. Now it's updated to OUT OF STOCK. This is a shit deal because this is clearance crap they are trying to get rid of but have little and more likely no stock of anything good.

    • kabigon on 04/05/2015 - 09:09

      Low stock = 85% chance computer error, 10% chance stock exists but nobody can find it, 5% chance stock exists.

        actually the posting rules says minimum 10 units available I believe. We can cut some slack when there are multiple items listed, but this really appears to be minimal stock odds and sods clearance

  • Tony555 on 04/05/2015 - 09:12

    That's a great price on the 4TB Hard Drive. Officeworks have them for $219. They should price beat

        What's your favourite?? I have had problems with ALL major hard drive brands at some point. I find Seagate have 'less' problems than others

        • CVonC on 04/05/2015 - 10:00

          me too but i've had the most problems with seagate 3.5" though - internal 1.5tb (>5 years click of death), external 1tb (5 years, crc), external 2tb (4 years, crc)

          and it coincides with the data here —> https://www.backblaze.com/blog/best-hard-drive/

          but it seems like the 4tb seagates are alright…

          my portables seem okay so far - 1tb seagate (3 years old), 2x 2tb toshibas (1 year old)

          i don't have a favourite although the toshibas seem like they'll last (knock on wood).. point is, if i can avoid seagates, i certainly will.

        • TRANCE on 04/05/2015 - 23:50

          Samsung was the best, but they stopped making platter hard drives a few years ago. Now I rate Hitachi as best, WD in second, Seagate in third.

      • surfbum1 on 04/05/2015 - 11:57

        Heh yeah I was in office works taking back a dead 3TB seagate and so got tempted by this.

        Currently I'm 3 bad Seagates from five so perhaps not the smartest impulse buy. Fingers crossed for this one.

        • CVonC on 04/05/2015 - 12:00

          Also got them to split payment, $99 on ing paywayve —> 2% rebate

          Only after I payed did I see they'd charged $150 so had to get them to refund $7.50

      • salem on 04/05/2015 - 14:12

        i forgot about office works price match. I went to jb instead, guy knocked the price down to $149 for the 4tb. I went to big W first but they had no stock. JB guy didn't even care to check, I just said the price big W had and he beat it. Canberra Centre, ACT. (probably best I didn't try officeworks anyway, the one in Canberra city has always been reluctant to price match anything, always come up with shoddy excuses to avoid having to match it).

    where is this drop zone online? I can't find it! I click on drop zone and asked me to find my nearest store..

  • kronicmacstigator on 04/05/2015 - 09:36

    Would love a 500GB Touro for the PS3 but not making a huge trek for something that'd probably be ozbargained anyway… by the time I pay for the bus trips, I'd of only saved $20… spend the extra $20 and get another 500GB elsewhere…

    I think pricematch might be the go at this point, but considering it'd all be out of stock don't like your chances :(

      Good phone. Near stock Android with some handy customizations. Best price I've seen it for.

      Z3C is significantly smaller in the hand. Xperia mods aren't too bad, but definitely a heavier touch than Moto's.

      • Pirimiri on 04/05/2015 - 10:56

        Lack of storage expansion is a deal breaker for me. Else I would have jumped on this.

      I would personally go the Z3C because of the battery life + camera.

        My view as well after some ready. Probably will go for Z3C just for SD expansion slot and battery life.
