Shame about the PS4 price :(
Much better than Target's ;)
Well we don't know that yet
@TRENT86: I was going down the line at least BigW will have a toy sale. Didn't even think about the prices honestly. Funny enough I always end up buying things elsewhere…
@watty: Parents are upset that they can't pay for toys above their means and may actually need to budget? wow…
@putshan: Honestly, is it normal for people to buy toys now for Christmas? I've always done mine like a week or few days before. And I think some parents should worry about other things rather than presents lol.
My God my generation are such useless self entitled whinges! Everyday I become more ashamed.
@watty:
My mum would always layby six months into the year, then pay off what she could before Christmas. So I imagine other people are still doing the same thing.
I guess it's easier to have the spare cash in Target or Big W's hands rather than your own, so that you don't spend it on other things.
Hey man any deals for new 3ds XL?
We had them on sale for I think $236 from $249 but recently on from the eBay sale it was $189 delivered (from NZ but Aus stock - confirmed since I purchased it). I recommend best you wait :)
@watty: :(
Ill try to wait let me know if any deals happen with it please im with big w staff membership to
@watty:
pm me too please . i want to get into the the new 3ds xl. havent paly that poke mans since soul silver.
@shadowrukia: I'm not 100% sure but I don't see why not since it's a stocked range. Just call up your local one to clarify. Honestly I won't expect any huge price drops from the new 3ds xl any time soon. Target for one have been melting their gaming stock yet the new 3ds xl still is $248 like most other places.
@shadowrukia: I found one in stock i had to go instore because person on phone lied about it not being in stock but found it in stock.. lol gonna use 8% off
Back to the Future Monopoly…. Great Scott!
$49 is close to the standard piece on eBay or from gamesmen.
$55 for doom is a good price too
could be cheaper atm at gamesmen atm
Only if you pickup - it was $7 shipping.
My local EB matched the price for me today once I mentioned BigW is dropping from Thursday
To buy tomb raider or wait for ps4 version…
Buy it now, it's such a great game! worth it for sure, even at full price.
Is the ipad 2 a good price looking to get for daughter for xmas but maybe cheaper by then?
Is ipad 2 most recent model?
Good price yes, don't know if it will drop further before xmas as Apple products don't drop to far too often, there is an ipad mini 3 which no one wanted and now an ipad mini 4 but it costs $546 for 16GB Model
Ipad 3 nobody wanted what do you mean?
ipad mini 3 because it had very minor updates and I think it is now discontinued
But yet the sell ipad 2 confused?
They continued selling iPad 2 (not Mini 2) long after they discontinued iPad 3 and 4.
Seems weird older models sell longer than newer models you would think they just get rid of older models first?
There's a market for cheap, and a market for good. The 'inbetweeners' like iPad 3 and 4 just add more confusion and become harder to price. They have to get rid of some models or at a glance, the uninformed will have a difficult decision decided between so many models and not knowing the differences.
LOL, thanks for the downvotes. Someone hates facts.
not any more :)
been looking for a good price on tomb raider
How long until tomb raider GOTY with all DLC?
Likely end of the year when the game releases on PS4 I'd say
2ds deal looks great!
Does it include the free Mario Kart 7 download code?
Yeah
dark souls 3 for 75 aud…
any deals for new 3ds xl?
$299 for Xbox one and 3 games or $379 for PS4 and no games. Come on Sony, get out of your Ivory Tower. At least chuck some games in with it. Think I'll wait for E3 announcements. Could have gotten the 1tb Drake collection one a few days ago for $20 more. I took a gamble and lost. Oh well, back to my Xbox One while I wait… Again…
Waiting for a bundle that includes Uncharted collection and 4, and the Ratchet and Clank remake, as that's all I want a PS4 for. I keep waiting also :D
I'm waiting for a "No Mans Sky" bundle pack. Considering that it's an exclusive title to PS4 (and PC, keep your knickers untwisted PC fanbois) I am surprised that there hasn't been a bundle announced for it yet… And that's all I want a PS4 for… :D
2ds and 3ds still region locks?
yes
Yea pretty bad photoshop
Why waste 2 pages on summer toys? But yes, those itty bitty kids. The slide guy is y favourite
what are ppls opinions on tomb raider, compared to the previous version?
There was something about the heart of it that wasnt as good as the first one in my opinion. I'm sure others would differ. I just didn't love it to bits as much as the first one.
That said it was a technical improvement with some great set pieces and the game is harder especially on the top difficulty level. I guess that's the problem with a game that's essentially the same as the previous one.
Definitely worth playing the graphics and animation in particular are world class breaking.
Didn't see forza 6 there, but if someone sees this on special please let me know!!
i clicked on the ipad mini 2 32gb link on the catalouge and i get linked to the ipad mini 16GB version. is this a catalouge error?
Better not be as have got some gift cards stuck aside just for this 32b model which i would not have got otherwise i have also got catalogue and took a pic from online so if they did mess up they better give for advertised price im sure its not for a 16gb one as they surely not that much to buy.
I'm guessing they are linking the wrong one because it says save $60
I see there is 25% off Xbox Live cards. They have a spot on the same page for PSN cards but no discount listed.
Is that a mistake? A bit weird to just have them there.
https://www.bigw.com.au/bigw-catalogues#view=catalogue2&sale…
I have the catalogue itself and it's exactly the same as the online version - no discount on PSN cards. It's just there to look pretty.
Now I wonder why they limit 1 per customer for the PSN cards when there's no discount on them
can I layby a new 3ds xl at big w?
wow cant find any 3ds xl black in stock anywhere! near VIC.
Eb games has them. It's online now
I just price match at ebgames for pokemon and couple other games.
If anyone knows any deals for a new 3ds xl please do let me know. Am planning to buy tomorrow but am not sure where is the best place to buy it :)
Why 2mrw?
I finish my final exam tomorrow! It is a day to celebrate. And I have been waiting to get a 3ds xl for years!
Target also has the new home designer 3DSXL on sale for $199 so if you are nearby just try your luck.
Awesome :) I just worry you might miss out on a deal soon, if I notice on tonight I will let u know
@riceislove: Ok, first thing you should do 2mrw then after Exam is ring a few local Targets to see if they have any stock left of the Animal Crossing XL Bundle mentioned above, if you can get that then that's a great deal. I will let u know then by 2mrw night if I notice any deals :)
@riceislove: Hmm haven't seen any deals ay, there is only 1 price drop I noticed which is 3DSXL + Adventure time $249 $10 off
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/features/games/Bundles/3ds-hot-off…, i'm just wondering whether Target will do any specials for their toy catalogue in a few weeks if you can wait that long
Is the iPad mini wifi only or with 4G??
Well, it says its cellular. checkout the fine print
http://imgur.com/jFwmVNe
It seems too cheap to have cellular, but I need one, so I'm gonna go to Big Dub this morning and check before buying the 8% off vouchers to purchase it. Has anyone else already been and can confirm?
It's a total eff up
The iPad isn't cellular
I know. I went into 15 stores in Melbourne and they all said it should be as per the catalogue. Then there was this annoying yank behind me saying that "You'll never get it for that price anywhere as a cellular". I told him to shut up and go buy a gun.
Went there today to buy the Ipad mini as listed in the "Toy Sale" catalog, I commented to the salesperson that there was no cellular 4G facility in the unit. The sales person argued that it connected via wifi to the 4g network. I might be stupid as a senior citizen, but my understanding is that 4G is a mobile platform, and requires a sim card to connect to a 4G service. So advertising a cellular function must require a sim card slot within the Ipad, which it does not have. Grey area false advertising!!.
You are 100% right, the idiot behind the counter has no idea. Big W has admitted this was an error on their Facebook where people are complaining.
Bought an ipad each for my kids. Price matched at both the good guys and also harvey norman and got $50 back by using my AMEX. Going OS in the next couple of weeks so will also get the tax back at the airport. Brings the total down to approx $270 each
Nice :) Lucky kids too
Just realised that Apple products are excluded from statement credit with AMEX terms. Some people seem to have been lucky though
Yay cash back came through
this toy sale will be AWESOME!
