    Anyone know if target will be stocking the PS4 Pro?
    Been trying to find best place to order it but everywhere seems stuck at $559 with no extras :(

    • Playin97 on 06/11/2016 - 09:10

      Honestly, they'll probably get it everywhere :) the best prices you can get are the prices the original PS4 came out on… That's supposed to be it's price

      Id probably avoid the Sega Megadrive Classic. Controllers suck and the company (ATGames) that made the console didn't out much effort. Apparently there's going to be a limited edition Sega Megadrive coming out next year and it will be the same as the original version. Will cost around $130 but so far you can only purchase it from Brazil. The company that's supplying this console apparently manufactured the original Sega consoles.

      Reviews

      If you are a Sega fan, I'd recommend just buying Sega Classics Collection on PS3/360/PC or build a raspberry pi with RetroPie installed

      • DiscoJango on 06/11/2016 - 10:05

        thats a shame. a true retro gamer would go straight to ebay, buy the original console and an old school sony trinitron flat screen crt tv for the full authentic experience!!!

          Are retro gamers a subset of hipsters?

          Why not simply use a PC emulator?

          Trivia: I have a Megadrive, controllers and games in the cupboard which still work. My PS2 does not.

        • DiscoJango on 07/11/2016 - 11:39

          @mrdavedave:

          True, but the flat screens are so much nicer than the curved crt's, and still fall into the "retro" category

  • Venison93 on 06/11/2016 - 09:41

    Cool, I'll grab Pokemon Moon next Friday from Target then. Also find it funny that it's cheaper to get a used PS3 off ebay/gumtree and buy the Megadrive Collection for it than to buy the Megadrive Classic.

  • ClawShrimp on 06/11/2016 - 09:47

    To anyone considering purchasing the Sega Megadrive Classic…don't bother.

    This thing has been kicking around for a couple of years and Atgames has re-released it to capitalise on the NES Classic Edition hype.

    Emulation on the console is average at best. Sounds can often be glitchy, or sometimes just completely wrong.

    There's no hdmi port…Composite only.

    The controllers are just horrible. The d-pad feels terrible, the buttons are stiff, and they use Rf wireless (the same as TV remotes), so you have to be pointing your controller directly at the console for it to work. Even then, there's crippling lag.

    It doesn't feel like a licensed product at all, but rather a flea market knock off.

    How they justify that price us beyond me.

    • dm01 on 06/11/2016 - 10:10

      IR wireless, not RF.

    Sega megadrive for $89

    Maybe not…
    1)US selling for 29.99 unless we have a usd to au 3x ratio exchange rate, the pricing makes no sense.

    2) No hdmi output/upscale

    3) No Stereo.

    Just my opinion a classic retro console should be created by the standards of the megadrive pc emulator which has features or game mods that makes you want to replay the retro games and ….snes still rox over the megadrive.

      This is the same idiot that ruined k-mart.

      I've got a feeling they are going to be the next dick smith, i've seen their earnings reports and there is no way they are pulling in the cash they are claiming.

      I live next to 3x k-marts in SA and watched their business plummet and their stores turn into ghost towns since cutting down on quality tools, getting rid of entertainment and stocking the shop full of even worse import crap.

      Few years ago k-mart used to have a reasonable-ish entertainment section, you'd go there for some gaming stuff, they'd have a good range of toys, you could get bulk packs of candy or soft drink cheap, cheap clothes, cheap usable furniture, arts and craft.

      Now you go into tea tea tree plaza or inglefarm shop to find an entire corner of the shop deserted, the old entertainment section is devoid of people, crammed with overpriced apple gear no one is buying in a cabinet, accessories for things they don't sell that no one wants. Shelves packed with nasty quality ukuleles, selfie sticks, av cables, dvd's no one is buying and cd's no one is buying.

      Walk to the next section toys, and its full of even worse quality toys, all poorly stacked, prices suck, and most of the toys you wonder how they passed quality testing, bought my nephew a toy aircraft carrier from them a while ago, the tiny wheels all fell off the aircraft and could have easily choked a young kid, the clips for the wheels cut into little fingers.

      All the brand name toys are just whatever other shops couldnt get exclusively, random amounts of them and over priced like anything (charging 45 for black series star wars figures when target had them at 28, and these ones have dented and torn boxes).

      Go to clothing and find extremely poor quality clothing, kmart used to be known for its cheap clotehs that were passable, now you look at license printed tee's for $10 to see the threads falling out of the shoulder and transfer print already rubbing off.

      Go to look at confectionery, it's all junk quality crap, any of the brand name quality gear is priced worse than coles or target.

      Book section at TTP is passable for 2 shelves and the other 4 are a mess or scratched up and dented books.

      Mrs went to go look at cosmetics and came back after a minute telling me how the whole section is a mess and most of the gear is cheap and nasty, the rest is higher priced than coles and woolies.

      Inglefarm and Firle are much worse than TTP.

      So yeah deffinately listen to this guy on how to "fix" target when Tea tree plaza target is one of the best in the state.

        I do wonder what is going to happen to the Target at Newton. One of Guy Russo's strategies is to spend only 10% of income on staffing a store, and that particular store cannot even afford to have its refund/layby/customer service desk open. It's also too close to Firle to be turned into a Kmart.

          and the funny thing is (and this is from having mates who work at target corporate) all of the things he is claiming target are doing badly (toys and gaming) newton has done incredibly well at, they won the fifa game selling challenge and won a star wars toy selling challenge.

          He reckons target should focus on homewares and fashion, which newton has been getting killed on.

        My local Kmart (North Rocks) has been redesigned. It looks great but the store is full of no name products. Cheap clothes that have barely any material to them some of them are opaque. And they're all from Bangladesh. Who knows how many children made them?

        Also there are more knock off products than actual brand names. For example, the Lego section is getting swallowed by sets called, "Princess Castle" and "Airplane". Barbie dolls are being replaced by "Fashion Doll".

        Eventually people will get tired of this and go elsewhere. Sadly Target and Big W are following suit.

          how do we tell target, kmart and bigw that we don't want this?

          Voting with our wallets and foot traffic doesnt seem to help as my local k-mart is a ghost town yet we keep hearing how "extremely well" it is doing.

          Again just feels like dick smith, gonna say how awesome its doing, fudge the books, then move on to another company to ruin and claim they did their best when it collapses.

          @typhoonadventure: unfortunatly when your dealing with big headed execs who dont like being told they are wrong, they couldnt care less what your opinion is, as long as they are cashing big cheques each month, and then if that company fails, just go work at a new one.

        • typhoonadventure on 07/11/2016 - 15:59
          +2

          @DiscoJango: your not wrong.

          I've not met Guy Russo, but having friends who work for a few of the companies who deal with him including mates at target, and having been to coles group events with people who work under him or with him at corporate they paint an interesting image.

          And before you go, well maybe someone else will takeover, after going to a coles corporate xmas event in 2015 and one in 2011, nothing has changed and most of the people there are the same.

          Back in 2011, met a few people who had great ideas that we've since seen well used out in retail to adapt to markets, out of all those nice people i've met most either get stagnated, ignored or even targeted.

          Theres a bunch of yes people trying to climb the ladder (woolworths are worse, the only way to climb up is by stepping over people and throwing others in front of busses).

          There was one particular guy I met in 2011, hardcore christadelphian, worked for coles advertising division, at this party he was wondering why the company was blowing such money doing full print newspaper adverts that cost huge amounts to advertise one or two sales items.

          He wanted to streamline catalogue options (pretty much like we have now) and put a heavier focus on putting the information online (not as well as we have now), he got laughed at.

          One of the guys who ran the hotel groups wanted to stop the "cookie cutter" model for the business that coles and woolies use where they buy up hotels, strip them back to pokies, family dining and a sports bar, at most a beer garden, the target audience was males 35-45 with money, devoided every hotel in australia of personality and character.

          Got stepped on by a woman in SA who is now a "hotel expert" for maximizing hotel profit like crazy and turning all hotels soul less, at the end of the day like everyone has said, these guys don't care what people want, they think they can tell them what they want.

          One of the current industries I work in at the moment, we see the damage that poker machine addiction, gambling industry in general does to people, and coles and woolies bought into it lock stock and knowing it causes damage to people.

          They see offering quality food, entertainment and a venue that has to be managed as too hard when they can just macro manage a cooker cutter mold, dump it australia wide, slam pokies and gaming machines in there with no care of what it does to the community.

          One of the guys working for target I met at the 2015 was trying to get the idea off the ground to bring back a thing woolworths used to do, they used to have "trade heads", where say you had a meat department, it had to be run by an industry qualified butcher, they had to workout supply deals with the suppliers, inspect the goods themselves and a assure quality, same with bakers and produce, they had to be an industry expert. Now those positions are cookie cutter positions and decisions made at corporate level.

          His idea was simple, bring trade heads back at atleast a corporate level, so instead of having a bunch of people who learned how to maximize profit, have a bunch of people who are experts in fashion, electronics, video games, toys, design, homewares.

          So each section would have someone who was trained up to know their stuff back to front, get the best deals, keep suppliers happy, make sure quality items come in and in line with what people want.

          His idea got absolutely savaged in favor of bringing in more dodgey marketting and psych profiling people, if you've ever picked up a trade magazine you know the type, you see a new product coming out as "Does what you want, great experience, good quality at a great price" on the ad / box. The trade magazine sells the items to the shop as "High profit margin, requires replacements so repurchasing options with captive audience, confuses people to make them call help hotline or pay store for assembly" etc.

        But the change in Kmart has been a massive financial success:

        http://www.news.com.au/finance/business/retail/why-kmart-is-…

        Maybe it wasn't executed properly in SA? The local in Blacktown NSW was renovated nicely and is full of people at all hours (it's a 24/7 one).

        Reducing OzBargainer's favourite sections like gadgets, blu-rays and video games wasn't really their decision. It was inevitable, because people like us buy them all cheaper online now.

        Instead they've gotten better at sourcing clothes, homewares and knick-knacks from China at rock bottom prices, which is popular with housewives and such. That's a lot more profitable for them, as the numbers show.

        OzBargainers are scratching our heads, but remember guys, catering to hardcore tightarses like us isn't always the most successful business model…

        • typhoonadventure on 06/11/2016 - 20:09
          +1

          maybe SA is just more hardcore about not buying shite.

          Inglefarm is the states flagship store, since the renovation it's become a mess, it's theft has skyrocketed (checkout in center).

          I dont know if we're just getting the crap left over from the eastern states but unless anything is licensed everything they stock at the moment just stagnates on the shelf with no one silly enough to buy it. A lot of their homewares are cheap knockoffs of ikea junk, the rest is cheap knockoffs of what coles has in their promo section.

          Since kmart shot themselves in the foot here we've noticed A-class coles stores like st agnes keep stocking up their promo sections and dominating at selling seasonal promo gear and every bit of it reigns fire over what kmart sells.

          As for the clothing, target here is dominating them at it as well as bigw.

          Bigw ironically sourcing all their clothing from bangledesh too, but a million times better quality

      All these are in the catalogue online & will be in store too if online is sold out

        It wasn't available online on the post date, or the day after, or today. Not sure what's going on but it's a bit weird for a catalogue special not to have an online entry isn't it?
