lol
was there even 44 titles to choose from.
Ordered around 9pm last night. Checked the order status online.
Tales of Xillia 2 shipped
Tales Of Symphonia shipped
South Park shipped
NBA 2k14 ready for pick up
XCOM ready for pick upYipee! Thanks OP.
Ordered at 8:15pm to be exact nothing here though. Strange
Managed to get a few copies of project spark on XB1 for $1.
That's all that was avaliable when I checked last night. Picked up from store this morning with no problems. Are these $1 deals in store or online only? Do we know if they were an error?
Take them back for a refund. The game went 100% Free To Play 2 months ago.
Really? (profanity).
Got a phone call from a manager very nice guy and said he appreciated me being nice about what happened coz other people had been very rude. Anyway moral of the story is if you ordered a reasonable amount of games and chose shipping you are more likely to get the games. He said the sale is real the stock showing at the stores is an error
I placed an order for 16 different games late last night. None have been cancelled. None have been shipped. All still read "in progress."
I had a Witcher 2 CE order cancelled unceremoniously by JB a few years back, so I'm expecting the same here.
You can get all the $1 games that was on sale online in store. Just went and bought the games and then cancelled my order. Hope they haven't sent my order yet.
All mine shipped. Yay.
At the risk of upsetting a lot of people:
If you have ordered, received a confirmation e-mail and JB has taken payment there is a legally binding contract. even if they do not have stock, they must get new stock for you, even if they make a loss doing so. They only way to get out of it if the item does not physically exist anymore, for example a painting which obviously cannot be reordered or remade or bought elsewhere.
With the items JB sells this is never the case.To enforce such a contract, you need not go to court, depending on what state you are in. In Queensland for example, you can go the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT).
It will cost about $23 to file a claim, no lawyers allowed which means there is no costs risk.In my experience, retailers settle claims in the compulsory mediation beforehand as they do not want to risk an official proceeding and a judgment against them as that sets a precedent which others can rely on.
Easy to do and for those of you that ordered several games, it is definitely worthwhile. They either have to supply the games or pay the differences between what you would have paid had they been able to supply the items and the price you must pay to obtain the games from other shops.
Most likely they will order the stock and supply themselves to keep you as potential customer.Personally, every time I have used QCAT in these circumstances, the claim got settled, I got my items and the retailer had to pay the filing fee of $23. Takes about 15 to prepare the claim, and then the conference takes an hour or so (can be done by telephone).
Every time?? You do that regularly? You got nothing better to do with your life?
I work in the legal profession so that is not really a bother for me.
I also don't like it when stores claim a mistake happened but then the same mistake happens every time. See Dick Smith.
If people do not hold them accountable what incentive is there for them to be better and stop their shady business practices.And yes, if I order 20 games for 20 dollars but have to spend 200 to get the same games elsewhere, then my rate for 75 minutes work is $180 (net) which is not bad.
So it can be worth it too.
I agree and like your style.
@Lysander:
FWIW, I gave you +1 in your "risk of upsetting people" post because it's the principle that matters.Thank you. I am not sure why helpful info would upset people but from experience it does on this website. It seems some people are never happy. Not happy if their order is cancelled and they get nothing but also not happy if being given info on how to get their bargains.
No win situation with this kind of people.Ah, well. No problem. As long as one person finds it useful and appreciates the info I am happy.
The real question is: why do people neg me for providing advice on how to get their bargains?
If retailers cancel the orders, people here are angry. I provide useful, accurate and hones info on how they can get their bargains and I get negged. But see I anticipated that hence I put "At the risk of upsetting people" - this was based purely on my experience here, not because it makes sense to me that people would be upset about this.
What a beautiful website. Thankfully people are nice in real life when you provide free advice to them (pro bono and community service).
your info is very informative. I thabk you. I will take it up with NCAT the nsw equivalent. and for all future pricing errors.
contract law do indeed state that if they have taken ur mony, they have accepted your offer and taken the money as consideration and thus the contract is valid. both parties at that point have to carry out their obligations.
Fee for NCAT: $47 non-concession; $5 for eligible concession. (claim amount up to $10,000)
Fee for QCAT: $23.80 (claim amount up to $5,000 I believe but not sure)
Why assume the angry people with cancelled orders are the same who down voted your comment? From what I can see, you only got a few down votes. I wouldn't get too worked up over it.
Thanks for the info. Coudn't find much info for ACT-CAT.
Some people just randomly neg so don't focus on that. just ignore that feature for this website.Thanks.
Have not looked much into ACT-CAT. I know that in Tasmania such thing does not exist but that function is performed by the magistrates court. Not sure about the costs and lawyer requirement in that case though as I have not checked.
Canberra, ACT
Such thing as WA-CAT?, keen to take this further based on principle alone. We should have OzBargain representatives in all states.
I know. What I meant was that the ACT might not have a Civil and Administrative Tribunal just like Tasmania.
But it does: http://www.acat.act.gov.au/
Fees: $68 for claims up to $2,000 (http://www.acat.act.gov.au/fees/2015-16_acat_fees)
WA has the State Administrative Triubunal but it does not deal with consumer and commercial matters. It does deal with tenancy and building disputes.
http://www.sat.justice.wa.gov.au/
For consumer matters I suspect the Magistrates Courts are responsible. You have to file a minor case claim. Here is some info. Again, the general rule is that LAWYERS are not allowed for that kind of proceedings to keep costs down.
http://www.magistratescourt.wa.gov.au/C/civil_matters.aspx
http://www.magistratescourt.wa.gov.au/_files/Civil_factsheet…
"The legally binding contract is complete when a retailer accepts an order. However, acceptance does not necessarily happen at the point of order. Even the confirmation email may not be an acceptance. Some retailers reserve the right to cancel an order up to the point of delivery. It is therefore important to carefully check the retailer’s terms and conditions (which must be available on their website) and emails – if a retailer simply acknowledges an order, there may be no contract at that point."
Once payment is taken that is acceptance. Please look it up.
Also, just FYI: retailers can write whatever they like in their terms and conditions. Just because they write it in there does not mean it is valid. Law trumps any terms and conditions.
I do this for a living and have never come across a case or court where the basic principles of contract law where not adhered to but of course you are entitled to your opinion.
It's not an opinion. It's a quote (note the quotation marks) from Australian Consumer Law (that you claim to know so well).
You do not get it obviously. Yes, I agree with you. The confirmation e-mail might not be sufficient but once payment is taken acceptance has been effected and a valid contract exists.
If you look at their site it will have a disclaimer that nothing on there constitutes binding legal advice.I am sorry but I prefer to rely on the hundreds of court cases I have done where the court held every time that taking of payment constitutes an acceptance of the offer and a contract comes into existence.
Again, I am happy to accept your opinion and your strong belief in what is written on websites. But if you have five minutes maybe pick up a contract law book and look it up. You will then find out the truth.
@Lysander:
I'm not sure why you keep referring to my statements as an opinion. I took a quote from Australian Consumer Law which has nothing to do with my own views. That law - indeed it only took me a few minutes to look it up - completely contradicts your assertions.In fact, it appears the ACCC has already made a statement in regards to these matters. The seller is within their contractual rights to cancel any online pricing errors. They MAY choose to fulfil the orders based on goodwill.
"While a 'mistake' may raise concerns under the Australian Consumer Law, the ACCC's general advice is that if a business becomes aware of a genuine mistake in pricing and immediately rectifies it, the ACCC is unlikely to pursue it further."
Source: http://www.news.com.au/finance/coles-slams-door-on-cheap-bee…
The key word here is immediately. Taking payment rebuts that immediacy. If a business send a confirmation e-mail, reviews the order and then takes payment, any later claim of mistake is merely a change of mind which is not permitted if a valid contract exists unless both parties agree to a revocation or alteration of the contract. Taking payment is CLEARLY acceptance by conduct.
Look, as I am qualified in this field and have worked in it for a "while" now. I do not care what a website states, especially one that carries a disclaimer that the info does not constitute legal advice. There is a reason for that - the people writing the info are NOT lawyers and hence cannot provide legal advice.
I am happy to ask a judge in that area to talk to you (provided you are in an area where I know a judge) and then you can tell the judge he or she is wrong and the website is right. Would that tickle your fancy?Anyway, I am happy if you believe the webpage and do not pursue these things further. Increases the chance for me to get my items without too much resistance and the willingness of the company to deliver if not too many people insist on their rights.
Each to their own. I am happy to agree to disagree with you.Have a great evening my friend.
now waiting for a deal $0.50 a game.
Worth checking out your local store. They may have other games at discounted prices that weren't originally seen online (before they were removed). For example, I got PS3 GRID 2 for $1 in store, and I am sure that wasn't available online when this deal was posted . The staff were all shocked - one said "but if it scanned at $1, then it's a $1".
do you pick up random PS3/360 games and ask the staff to scan each of them to see if it's $1?
Staff told me they had a bunch of games reduced this morning and I tried asking the staff for a list. He said he couldn't give it to me but that he is happy to scan any games for a price check.
ahh you must of been first in line asking about the games. :P
I should have.
No, I was getting the GRID 2 game anyway and obviously quite happy it came to $1.
There was a box of games that weren't advertised online at my local $1 each, got a bunch of beautiful games including Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3 and Bound by Flame both for the PS3
any other games you can remember that were marked down?
Anarchy reigns, arcana heart 3, soul calibur v, natural doctrine, dynasty war/gundam 3, ultra street fighter 4, metal gear rising, bound by flame, risen 3 titan lords, shaddai, ghost recon double pack, darksiders 2, jojos bizarre adventure, naruto ultimate ninja storm 2, saint seiya brave, tekken tag tournament
Oh dear… Now this gets me fuming:

take it up with CAT. call their BS.
Lysander will guide you.
I'm not sure my $30 purchase is worth my time. Just a little pissed that the majority got served and I got screwed over by their systems.
Lol did I say something wrong? Sorry for being angry to the negger?
its BS, my order is still "In progress", I don't like my chances
@Hayesy22: I feel you mate, it's just how the cookie crumbles with some of these sales. Not much can be done on our side other than taking legal action which for me is simply not worth it.
:|
My local JB told me they oversold by about 600 units per title (I'm guessing it's the $1 ones). Guess I'll just have to make peace with it!
haha yup must be why my deliver order is still in progress
Although my 2 Tales games are ready for pickup woot
go instore dude
Called them up (my local store) and all the titles have been allocated to online orders.
I would recommend going in store, while everyone is squabbling over the orders being cancelled. I just walked into my local JB and picked up Tales of Symphonia, Tales of Xillia 2 and Naruto Shippuden as those were the only games I was interested in and they still had plenty of stock. I did see Dark souls 2, Darksiders 2, MG:Rising, and a few other $1 dollar games. This was JB at Carindale btw around 1pm.
My store has nothing mate, and squabbling over orders being cancelled is fine especially when they cancelled my order due to no stock and gave me an explanation that it was due to technical errors. Unless you are in my shoes I don't think you quite understand the situation.
My comment wasn't directed at you mate and I meant squabbling over orders in a "general" sense as some people are up in arms over the situation and honestly is it really worth your time taking action and complaining, as I have found in the past, sometimes it's not even worth it as sometimes they can't do anything about it and you just end up more frustrated ( I know I do) but It's good some people can make peace with it like yourself.
Also I can understand the frustration in regards to your orders being cancelled but all I meant was going in to your local JB if you can (I guess in your case you already have), I am lucky enough to have about 5 JB's in my area and just check what's there. I was annoyed last night that I didn't place an order and just strolled through 3 Jb's today and found what I was looking for, so yeah that's all.
Just check your local JB's if you can :)
If the orders do get processed, that $1 delivery on each game is worth it.
The hassle of driving, finding car park, putting up with traffic during peak hours, walking in and potentially get disappointed (possible JB staff doing underhand stuff like DSE?) is not worth the effort. It certainly costs more than $1 per game, unless you really that keen
If I don't get the games that is fine, Paypal dispute if no refund. Plenty of others would be in the same boat as me.
We, as ozbargainers, can all sit and wait and HOPE the ship doesn't SINK. If so we all sink together, and so be it! At least we will be called PROFESSIONALS!
silentAggressor Dark Souls II was $1?
I saw it there but I think I got the game mixed up with Darksiders 2 which is selling for $1, so most likely not, but I think it may have been going for $5-$10 as other have mentioned before.
Thanks. I purchased it for $10 (online) so wanted to check before I went to pick it up.
A heads up that Ni No Kuni for PS3 is also $10 in-store (I checked today, and that's what it scanned as). It's a beautiful game, and a great price for a brand-new physical copy.
Nice!
Online orders status still in progress…nooooooo!
I ordered a total of 10 games across 3 orders and all 3 are still "In Progress".
Fingers crossed.
Worth checking in store. I had a look at lunch time and there were staff in the process of stickering 360 games. There were a number of games with $5/10/20 red stickers, and a few with hand-written yellow tags on the front saying "Buy me for $1" or something. Nothing looked too appealing to me, but didn't have time to linger. $1 games were the Fable Journey (Kinect game), Fantasia, possibly something else. Other discounted games included Darksiders II, and some old sports games (e.g. PES 2012). I might have another look later, will report back if I do.
Edit: wrong game
I only ordered a few games but they have been marked as shipped

Oh well, not that I play any games these days.. Worth a try.. Can't be bothered to walk into store just to buy games that I probably won't have time to play..
Epping store has gow3, fifa, tales of xillia(LE), shadow of mordor(LE) and a few other games.
Few cod games at $10 too.I ordered Tales of Symphonia Chronicles and Tales of Xillia 2 with click and collect from JB Pitt St Mall in Sydney. My gf ordered ToX2 and her order was approved early this morning (even though she ordered after me) while mine remained at "in progress" all day. I called JB and asked them what the status of my order was. Apparently they had 37 orders with only 11 in stock. They offered to refund my money for that game but instead I asked them to get stock from another store. They're sourcing it from Penrith.
If your click and collect orders are listed as "in progress" I'd call them up and see what the go is. If they're under supplied then maybe you'll be able to get it from another store. Better than finding out in a few days that stock is unavailable everywhere.
Yeah 4 games shipped ….
OMG guys go to JB-Hifi.
I just picked up 15 more PS3 games, each $1. None of them listed online!
They are still marking them so not all $1 games will be listed as such, yet.what games did they have marked down?
Take a photo if you can!Did same at 2305. Staff were really nice, though obviously they copped some shite from disgruntled customers during the day.
what did you get?
Sorry 2305 is probably not the exact postcode… Kotara NSW. The games were still in a long cardboard box, about equal ps3 and xbox360. Prolly around 5xBorderlands 2 left.
@Carydadon: should also add I had one game to pick up from Kotara via online order last night. One also to pick up from Charlestown. 3 to pick up from Glendale but they are pending, so fingers crossed there
Sorry read that as WHERE.
Ps3 castlevania 2, borderlands 2, JoJo's, naruto, saintsena, atelier ayesha, ninja gaiden, dark siders 2, hyperdimensional neptunia
Xbox. Nike fit, fable, p4au, metal gear rising, fantasia
On order is nba2k14, fifa14, and can't remember the last one.
@Carydadon: Nice! Might have to call some of my locals up and see what they have on hand! Thats worth the drive!
@Carydadon: Kotara Homemaker had a ton of great games for $1 and the girl managing the clearance and long cardboard boxes was hella nice. Picked up around 20 different games around 1:30.
If anyone has a spare copy of BF3 for the 360 please let me know… I'm in a bit of trouble https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/224272
Ordered 7 games over 2 orders, both of which are still in progress. Money has changed hands too. Better deliver JB!
Made 2 orders yesterday: 1 with 2 $1 games (Borderlands 2, Metal Gear Solid) and then 1 with 3 $10 games (Disgaea D2, Tales of Xillia2, Tales of symphonia). The one with the $10 games has now been marked as complete / shipped whereas the other order is still "In progress". Honestly not too fussed if it ends up being cancelled, don't really see myself playing them anyway. Very happy the jrpgs got shipped though :D Good luck to everyone else!
I'm in the same boat, with the addition of not actually owning a PS3. I've been looking into getting one cos the game library is just so much larger than PS4.
Two of my games shipped just happened to be the games i didn't want that much.
Alien Isolation shipped, all good. Was tempted to get a heap more but will have no time to play them anyway.
my borderland 2 is shipped.. i guess every one will be happy with this deal !!
Still. In. Progress.
Should have bought the same games I ordered online again anyway while I was in store today. :(
44 games
