    Great post, thanks. Would anyone have an opinion about the Xbox One Wired Sidekick Controller? Looks like good value for $20 for the kids but know nothing about xbox myself.

    • giBzoR on 30/05/2016 - 06:55

      No concrete evidence but PowerA have a bad name in the peripheral business! but for the kids can you go wrong for $20?

    So only those amiibos listed no other ones? All amiibos or just these specific ones

    Was this sale started way early than last night?

    • Associatednkbswe5 @ Target Australia on 30/05/2016 - 08:53

      This is further reductions on clearance. Most of it was bought when originally put on clearance online. Might get lucky at some stores finding them.
      Only the mentioned amiibo are further reduced.

    • damnscenekids on 31/05/2016 - 03:04

  • FabMan on 30/05/2016 - 08:39

    Also for the criminally minded, the Wii U version here is not fully hackable. With earlier versions you could download copies of games and play them without paying, just don't connect your Wii U to the internet before the hack or it will update.

    BTW, I haven't hacked mine.

    • LimitRapid22 on 30/05/2016 - 09:21

      They are around $220 new, so I think it's a decent deal. Just keep in mind that it doesn't come with a charger so you might want to factor that into the cost.

        • the-mal on 30/05/2016 - 13:17

          Gaming is such a hard area for a department store. And it depreciates to worthless in next to no time.

          Kmart was right to dump it and Target will be to. They aren't going to compete with JB or EB in this area, it's not worth their while.

        • [Deactivated] on 30/05/2016 - 14:02

          @the-mal: That sucks if true. I hope Big W hang in there because their prices are the best. EB can go and get stuffed.

        • TRENT86 on 30/05/2016 - 14:45

          @the-mal: EB Are a rip off 360 days of the yr and even Jbhifi is more expensive that Target most of the time so I hope they stay in this area, they just need to have a better Gaming range. Entertainment sections are boring and need to be revamped to include booths to try out new games, couches to try out new TV'S, sound stations to try new tracks and not have Entertainment hiding in the corner of stores.

        • Siuto on 30/05/2016 - 16:07
          +2

          We really need Target and BigW to stick around with gaming. EB sells everything at RRP and while JB used to be ok, their prices are now pretty much just $10 off EB. In fact JB doesn't even do games sales any more. They would often do 20% blurays and dvds but never games. At least EB does mid year or end of year sales and even then the prices are just bearable.

        • Bands06 on 30/05/2016 - 16:11
          +1

          Same. Not too long ago we had Kmart, Dick smith, good guys and myer all carrying video games. Would be bad for us consumers if we lost target too and were left with only Eb, JB, Big W, Gametraders and (sort of) Harvey Norman.

          Having said that, this has happened too soon after his appointment to say Guy Russo is getting rid of games. It's one area Target can really differentiate from KMart which is something he's said is needed so fingers crossed.

          Target should really look at how much game stock they get as its way too much for a lot of games though.

        • [Deactivated] on 31/05/2016 - 19:01

          @Bands06: This might have to do with the Wii U, Xbox One and maybe PS4 not doing as well as they want.

          Would have been easier to sell games during the Wii era. You also had Guitar Hero style games as well back then.

          Or at least retail games that is, there are far less retail games produced now.

          Partly due to digital and less companies focusing on retail game development, the way they used to.

          @BNGames: Yep agree completely.

          i think Target and Big W need to get a lot leaner and smarter with their games though now. They've seen what these consoles and games are selling like so they should be able to predict required stock levels a lot better now. Otherwise I reckon they'll chuck it in before too long if they keep needing to have clearance sales.

    • DKPARTY on 30/05/2016 - 12:26

      After going in store to a handful of Targets over the last few weeks, id say they are either A) getting out of the game business all together or B) at the very least scaling back their stock dramatically. Game section is barren as hell, virtually no stock but the discounted shovelware.

    • butterbuts on 30/05/2016 - 13:36

      New nintendo NX coming out soon plus I read that target will want to clear stock as they had a large loss in the profits for the first quarter or something. Cannot remember where I read that though, but it was only last week.

    Went to Target Innaloo and bought one of each of the Ammibo on sale. They still have a few more left of each Smash Bros & Animal Crossing Ammibo, except they were out of the Splatton ones. They also have one Mario Party 10 pack still left if it helps anyone and some Animal Crossing albums. That's all that's left, no consoles. Wasn't going to start collecting the Animal Crossing ones but for this price its worth it. Thanks Op for the heads up!

  • solys on 30/05/2016 - 12:34

    FYI, Just went to Mawson Lakes and they looked to have 2 white and 1 black 3DS in the cabinet but they are not marked at the discount price.

    Only had Mario Kart Wii Us and no white nunchuks.

    Brisbane stores are generally pretty well stocked with gaming stuff.

      They havent been getting much cheaper than this so its a good price.

      Quite possibly will get cheaper in the future but finding stock may be an issue.

    • silverrat23 on 30/05/2016 - 16:30
      +2

      Here are two options. Pick one:

      • $300, but easier to find.
      • <$300, but harder to find.

      While we may not be lucky enough to snag a Wii U console for $200, $300 for the console + game + amiibo is a pretty good price as it is. Also, I believe the console will not be restocked for much longer, so stock levels are only going to go down from here.

      • Donatello on 31/05/2016 - 01:03
        +1

        Agreed. Retailers are running stocks down.

        If you don't like/enjoy Mario Maker, sell it, then you have a Wii U premium console for less than $300.

        IF ( and that's a big if ) you wait for a further price drop, you'll have to compete with other OzB members and then there's the running around to get one.

        The price alone makes me one to buy one as a spare.

        FTR, I own both a Wii U and PS4. The games are more fun (for me) on the Wii U.

  • jva on 30/05/2016 - 16:42

    For those who want the 3DS (in NSW):

    I bought a white version 3DS this afternoon from Carlingford, NSW, there were still 3 white and 4 black version 3DS left in the cabinet. $149 each.

    Also there are a few Amiibo characters on the shelf which didn't interest me.

    Good luck.

  • Alfonso on 30/05/2016 - 16:50

    Does anyone know where to get a cheap NDS charger? The 3DS doesn't come with one, which is very strange!

    • Siuto on 30/05/2016 - 17:39
      +2

      The official one from Nintendo is only $15 in most stores I think. I don't think you would save much money by going third party. You should be able to get them from JB, EB etc. Target may even sell them.

      The reason why they are not including a charger is that they believe most people who are buying this as an upgrade to their old 3ds. Nintendo is probably just trying to save costs.

    • azza92 on 30/05/2016 - 23:01

          I prefer the cheap $1 cables on eBay if you are willing to wait a few weeks. The daiso one seems to flimsy to me.

    I will update the main post tonight with the other bargains people have found. I'm just on my way to see if I can find some myself :)

    A lot is still available in store and I will hopefully be able to report on stock this afternoon as I hunt down a 3DS and some Amiibo.

    Thanks for all the feedback guys!

    Just got one off Sefton Park SA, they had a few in the cabinets but when I called this arvo they mentioned they only have one left. Regardless, price as per OP.

    Went to Knox (Vic) this afternoon, HEAPS of Amiibo. Plenty on shelf, more behind counter. Not huge amounts of cheap games though. Heaps of copies of COD Ghosts on PS3. And yes, I got one. For 5 bucks, can't complain.
