Not sure if it's a pricing error, but just paid with Paypal and everything seems dandy atm. $1 delivery fee required.

Cheers Oztangsta! Bought 22 games for $45 earlier, hoping they honour it considering I spent a fairly decent amount. Hasn't been cancelled yet, so here's hoping!
Wow - I'm gutted - I only got an Xbox 360 a few weeks ago (@ $260!)
after spending most of the day trying to buy two games on the overloaded EBGames website then finding out I can't use my EBGames voucher to buy them, I looked for an alternative seller and JB Hifi popped up.
I was really please to be able to put Alien Isolation ($10), Need For Speed most wanted ($5), Splinter Cell Blacklist ($5) then I noticed a bunch of $1 games, so I added Gears of War Judgement, Metal Gear Rising, and the two XCOM games. After being fleeced by the EBGames site I started working through my basket to see what I could click&collect locally only for all the games except Alien Isolation to become unavailable.
Pretty annoyed now. I'm going to blame the OP for posting the deal! ;)
You should have went straight to delivery @ only $1 per game. Mucking around with local pickup for each game slowed you down and you lost.
You paid $260 for a x360 in late 2015? I paid that much way back in 2009 for a brand new console and games bundle!Re: the console: Yep, from Target - I knew it wasn't a good deal but it was the best price around at the time (my birthday).
Re: the games: If I hadn't just spent $50 on credit card for two games at EBGames when I have a $40 voucher for there, then I would have been much more trigger happy at JBHifi.
I take it you don't trust 2nd hand consoles?
PS3 and X360 consoles go for <$100 on gumtree/ebay.Strangely I didn't consider the PS3. Perhaps 'cos I already had a few X360 games.
I had bought a console off a mate that emigrated, but it died as soon as I reformatted the hard drive.
And I have the impression X360s suddenly dying was a common occurrence - certainly among my mates.If it had been entirely down to me, I would probably have plumbed for an Xone which was on a Dick Smith special for about $120. But it was a birthday present and I only get about an hour each night to play (when everyone else has gone to bed).
I would have replied sooner but I'm limited to five posts per day.
nvm
@sam buster:
Xbox1 going for between $300-$400.
I'm still playing last gen x360 and have no intention of upgrading any time soon.
My vast library of unfinished games sit on the shelf collecting dust, but I do try to play it from time to time.
Finished Diablo 3 last night, it was a thrilling conclusion.
By the time I get into current gen, the consoles will be <$ 200 new.
Enjoy the cheap games library you can amass on your new console at a fraction of the cost of current gen.
should have got Xbox One with few extra $ atleast it will be supported longer than Xbox 360!
Can you imagine the IT guys, when they see the traffic of 500 + votes and thousands of orders. Massive wtf moment.
EB Games should knock on JB's door and borrow their I.T. team as clearly they know how to handle traffic…
Prepare for those cancellation emails tomorrow :(
So all 1 Dollar games have been removed for the PS3 and Xbox , however the other titles such as GTA IV for $10 on PS3 still remains , this sort of comforts me as i believe there was no pricing error , or GTA IV and other fairly new titles would of been removed also.
My Order is Still under processing and has not been removed yet, JB-HI-FI , i am not the type of person to double cross! , i will eat all TEH COOOKIEEEZZ!!!
We call em Biscuits round here mate. lol
*Bickys's
Fat hobbits's :P
COOOOKIEEEE
The order confirmation says it's in stock though so not sure if that's true or not guess we will all find out within the next few days. Otherwise might be on the news again named as professionals
Bought 7 of them lastnight online and payment went through. Let's hope it wasn't pricing error!
So is JB following in Dick Smith's footsteps too?
:-P
So before staff could pick up the games for the online orders made, you took them, so there might not be any left for the ones which were ordered? Terrible..
They're cancelling everyones orders, mine shows up as cancelled go in now and get them
Maybe you were too late ordering? Mine order still shows as in progress, one of the games went on back-order (I doubt I'll get that one. I guess I was too late).
It will be very disappointing if legitimate orders are not filled because terrible people spoiled it for those that got in early. Hope karma comes back and bites you on the ass…
I have a shipped notification for X-COM. I ordered God of War III about half an hour before XCOM, yet it remains in progress.
I have one shipped, FIFA 14, and rest are in progress as store pickup.
Every $1 game is in progress.
This might be a long wait.
XCOM was one buck. As noted, I have shipped status on that.
I can't imagine they ship one game at a time. However it makes no sense that you pay delivery for each game but not a single delivery fee for the bulk of items…
I think JB hifi ordering system is crappy
FIFA 14 was $1 as well and shipped.
Man, I paid $5 at Dick Smith for Fifa 14 :S
@neonlight:
I think they do ship them separately if they don't have stock at their stores. I made multiple orders because I missed stuff but only part of any of my orders have shipped. Only Tokyo twilight ghost hunters which was at $5 and is a bad game but I wanted it for collective purposes.I asked my Jb hifi games guy the last time they had a decent online sale and stock is pulled from off the shelf. Some might get pulled from a warehouse but he wasn't too sure.
My Tales of Xillia 2 is showing as shipped. God of War 3 still says in progress, but then when I placed the order it said "awaiting stock" so I'm not surprised.
What time did your email order confirmation for GOW III come in?
As soon as I placed the order at about 10 or 11pm last night.
Just checked mine - 10pm (also awaiting stock.) I wonder if any of the early orders showed in stock for GOW.
interesting enough that isn't first come first serve.
Interesting? I will be pissed if my order gets cancelled and they have filled others first that ordered later.
mine still in progress (ordered before 9 AEST), my friend ordered later than me already being shipped :(
Order.complete. 7 games shipped. All Xbox 360s
When did you order?
10.20pm last night
Wow nice. I ordered around 9:30pm still all in progress on PS3
Lucky! I ordered a mix of a few ps3 and 360 games at 6:41pm aest monday but mine all got cancelled :(
All my orders got cancelled :( Darn…
Edit: Exhausted stock explanation - though my order was cancelled upon being placed last night which was weird. They said I cancelled it by myself but you can't even do that ("In regard to putting through the order you have cancelled yourself…").
Only game I really wanted was Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution for $10. Might have to wait for steam sales T.T
thats the only game i wanted, put it in a seperate order to my others and it was the only one that got cancelled on me. Chose click and collect for it and it just got canceled so im guessing someone went in this morning and bought it
@JezzaC96: At least you probably will get something. I got nothing and will be getting nothing. Time to look for other bargains.
@watty: Went to collect my items and saw a copy and double checked with the staff member to make sure no one had bought it and he said all the click collect ones had been taken off the shelf so it might be worth going into your store and looking
@JezzaC96: It's alright Jezza thanks for help though! I'll just wait some other time for the game to drop. Hope you enjoy your games and again, thanks for trying to help :)
mine GoW3 order says "in progress". I ordered around 7:45pm, just 1 game in the order. Hopefully get through or never mind - I really wanted its remastered edition to play on PS4
I have a heap ready for pickup up now as well, so deal is confirmed as legit. Great work OP….to steal from JB…OZ Bargain you've done it again!
How many games did you buy & where are you located ??
" I ordered around 7:45pm"
Does your order confirmation email (from last night) have a status of "awaiting stock"?
yes it did
I got one order so far
I wonder the status "in progress" if it means the staff is packing it…
Yup "packing it" in their bags lol
All ~20 or so of my games have been shipped!
I bought around 30mins after this post went up thoughAlso has note saying:
"Your order has been split for the fastest delivery"They send out shipped notification emails? I didn't receive any.
Not shipped emails, you have to login to your jb hifi account and click on my orders to see the status.
The email i did receive was confirmation of order in which the note about splitting was there
the game i had for pick up said its ready for pick up on my jbhifi account. though on their pickup info page, it said it will be unavailable to pickup unless collection email has been sent
Under my account online, stated in progress and on expansion said "ready for pick up". I hadn't received an email but went in store and my 3 items were waiting for me. The service person did comment that the had been popular today!
20 games?
what did you end up picking up?
Went to north sydney jb, same deal, bought a battle field 3 for $1
Thanks OP. Got myself a whopping 12 games :D
My order of 2 PS3 games to collect in-store has been sitting as 'In Progress' all morning. Just now it's showing as 'Completed', with both games listed as 'Picked Up'. I don't intend to go collect them until the weekend.. This is concerning, hope no one has walked out with them. Have emailed JB about it.
Ouch. Yeh my one for pick up is saying "Ready for pick up"
Well they arent DSE, so i dont think their staff can touch it.
lol funny comment. At least we know JB hifi is still in business whereas DSE staff know they might be out of job soon
Mine said picked up as well, but i just called them and the jb guy said they were ready to be collected.
Mines "in progress" - How is everyone else's going ??
Same
1 order is processed the other in progress
Logged on to JB website at 11:00 am, all 4 games shipped.
Didn't get a shipping e-mail from JB though. :-/
Mine's still in progress :(. I ordered about 10 mins into the deal…
Bugger missed it!
What was the list of games that went thru for $1
Says page no longer active?
My two copies of Nike+ Kinect Training now has status of "Shipped".
GOW3 still "In progress".
Good thing I hesitate buying online because of the shipping fee a their website showing no stock near me. went t Woden ACT branch and manage to buy the games I wanted. save on shipping.
thanks op.
Haven't received an email but logging in shows my five games as 'shipped'.
Thanks OP!
Order still showing as 'in progress'. Order about 55 minutes after the post.
Ordered just before 2100hrs, all 4 x360 games "in progress"……
Ok mine have now all shipped!!!
Same still in progress.
Funnnily enough the one game i ordered that went into "AwaitingStock" and showed as backorder on the site got shipped today where the others are still "In Progress".
I thought I would not have got this one and the others would have gone through fine.
Wasn't godzilla was it?
Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters
all 10 of mine are still in progress and i was pretty early to order
All mine got canceled… $179 worth of cancellations..
Yikes how many games did you order?
I bought a bunch of $1 titles around that time ago. Could have been me and a real life genuine live stock count that actually works (oh one could hope). My order is good to go except one title so fingers crossed.
