Full list of games not advertised but on special until just after father's day.
Prices are nationwide but not advertised as not all stores have all stock. Try your luck at your local store.
The games that are listed as $3, were $3 previously (drop zone) and no new stock has arrived so if the store sold out before they will still be sold out.
Items include:
Wolfenstein: The Old Blood $20 (PS4, Xbox One)
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor $39 (PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One)
Just to save you guys a trip I cleared out Big W Cockburn central of all 3 buck games in most platforms. The selection isn't that great anyway.
$3 for UFC on PS4? Typo?
No Typos,
Some of the games were part of the Drop Zone sale a couple of months ago, unfortunately this sale isnt nearly as good but imo the games are better
All the EA games that are $3 are in the EA vault on XBone (i.e. can play them all for $6 for a month or $40 a year), maybe they just reduced the PS4 to match?
Here we go again. Monday morning sorted.
Awesome thanks. I didn't think I'd see $3 games again this year.
Now let's hope you don't get into trouble for advertising specials on behalf of a company who wants to move stock.
Are these live nationwide or will some stores be behind like last time?
Thanks!
Live nationwide but I can't personally guarantee stock will be out on the floor at all stores
Sorry to burst everyone's bubble but the games that are 3$ were 3$ previously (drop zone) and no new stock has arrived so if the store sold out before they will still be sold out.
Damn, so probably very little chance of finding the one I was looking at then.
Found a copy of UFC! :D
Where??! I looked called everywhere on the last sale? are these n store only prices?
Underwood, QLD - it came with no case but that didnt bother me for $3, they put it in an empty PS4 case for me.
Also any chance there are other items such as accessories or even consoles discounted or is it strictly this list?
Entertainment wise Just the list is new discounts, might have some good specials else where in the store though
Any reliable, convenient way to check stock?
Not really, give a store a call in the morning. its not an advertised special so they may hold a copy for you.
How about putting prices on your games in store so we don't have to scan them ourselves
Yep, whoever thought of that idea should be fired.
Exactly why I don't buy games from Big W.
"How much is this? There's no price anywhere‽ oh (profanity) this."
There are scanners conveniently placed in aisles to make your shop more pleasurable.
@JonShannow: Weirdly, at my local Big W the only scanner that seems to be working consistently is the one located in womens underwear. So I'll just stand in queue with my armful of discounted PS games while giving everyone a seedy smile. I find it clears the queue pretty quickly.
@Tiggrrrrr: Love it. Wish i was there when you do this. Comment of the day :) All Big w's should do this.
@JonShannow:
Really makes me want to take every game to the counter and ask whats the price on this can you write them all down for me
It's actually a plus for us, non ozbarginers won't know the games are on sale, more for us!
Thanks will sus out what my local have
Wolfenstein New Order was $20 in Mackay shop.
Most of the games listed can be found either cheaper or the same elsewhere.
Eg. Just Dance 2015 Wii U $18 at target (Bigw $22)
The Crew $20 at target (Bigw $39)
Destiny Xbox 360 $15 @ JB ( Bigw $39)
Indeed. I saw them at this price at Target.
While i appreciate the OPs effort, these prices dont seem great - the $3 games are really only worth $5 at best
Well that was a pointless comment. No I am kidding lol. I appreciate his efforts too but just shop around. I agree with you.
I think these games will drop in price again, like what happened last time.
Is the ufc game any good?
Fight night is better
Yes and no. It's more like playing with a Rubik's cube than actually fighting. It's slow and extremely complicated but it can be somewhat enjoyable.
Saving people some trip to Macquarie big W. No xbox $3 games on stock. Heaps of titanfall though. Some watchdogs and destiny as well if I recall
Couldn't we technically get this price matched at EB Games? Or would the website need to display "$3 Battlefield 4" for example?
EB doesn't match clearances
Last $3 game clearance I was told by a staff that EB Games staff went over to clear out those $3 games and resell.
Expect no less. Gumtree was $3 Big W games every where after their clearance. Not my thing. New game traded at eb you would be lucky to get a few dollars. No point.
They'd have to. Its not like EB games pays fairly :)
Am I missing something? All I'm seeing is a big long list of slightly reduced games. Nothing cheaper than I've seen elsewhere/before.
Yeah, nothing of interest. Mostly the same old boring stuffs. Good effort into the post though.
No love for vita again. Why am I not even surprised anymore :(
I'd be surprised if your local Big W even has Vita games after the clearance a few months ago.
The evil within is alright
Yeah, even better game now the recent update allows full screen.
I don't understand the hate for the sale and some of the comments. There are some good buys there imho.
They are expecting $3 games.
We have been spoiled.
Great price for shadow of mordor! :)
I am hanging out for a cheap GOTY edition
Woden has 1 copy left. No $3 games.
Guy at the games desk didn't know about the sale and choked at the $39 scan.
FYi, PS4 New Order is $27 in store, not $35 ;)
Don't worry about Karingal BIG W, all sold out apparently.
Don't even stock the $3 games at my local as i expected.
No $3 games at Sunshine and Highpoint.
No $3 luck at Runaway Bay Qld
No $3 games at Pakenham Big W, but they do have a bunch of PS4 Disney Infinity starter packs for $20.
Have been to two BigWs and $3 games (along with any other one on sale) were long gone.
They DID have MGS Phantom Pain there, hiding under the counter BUT theyre not allowed to sell until trow
Just came back from Belmont WA. No luck at all. The price tags are still the original (retard store), and the games are all left overs…. I don't think you even want to try to call.. Gumtree is far better option..
Brisbane City store has a few Dark Souls 2 (PS4) left for $39. None of the $3 ones, but pretty sure they all went during the previous clearance. Was about 5 others digging through the ps4 and xbone shelves.
Thanks. Saves me a trip. Know if they has any other PS4 ones like Wolfenstein New Order or Shadows of Mordor?
I saw a few Mordor yes. I think just one New Order.
Oh, thanks for the answer. I might drop by on the way to work then.
Nothing up here in the NT, evan checked the PS side of things but no $3 games to be had.
Big W QV (Vic) has a few Mordor left, all $3 ones are gone.
Any copies of Wolfenstein: The Old Blood on PS4?
Only 1 or 2 left I think
Thanks. I got the last copy.
The table is a really nice addition to this post! Thanks
Tea tree plaza have a box of overpriced shovelware at $5 and some $3 copies of red alert 3.
Currently overseas at the moment, any luck for stores around eastern suburbs in NSW?
No $3 games at Robina QLD. They had a few copies of Wolfenstein The Old Blood and Evolve on Xbox One and PS4. Didn't really look out for the others as they were more than I was willing to pay.
None at Southland the other day, but there was cheap Lindt!
wait this has 4 days left ?
Found a $3 Forza Motorsport 5 XB1 @ Big W Park Beach. HFD!
First time poster so not sure what information people are after.
Let me know anything I should add or if anyone has any questions.
