    Do you know if JB will be price matching/beating the games advertised by Target?

      I spoke with a games manager at my local jb and he said the same as above, that they are competing with the black friday sales and will have comparable deals on all games. He also said to the other staff that they had already been given permission to price match (price beat??) when the sales start.

          I spoke to EB (canberra) and they immediately spun me a story that they are not price matching because target is only having the sale because they are getting out of gaming and so are clearing stock…. it seemed very rehearsed and a load of bull.

          @Ninjassmileinthedark:
          Not true, and I do enjoy the idea that Target would order more brand new games just to discount them due to clearance.
          We are getting less games, but not closing the gaming department whatsoever.

          EB's price match comes with loads of hidden clauses:
          Not with the internet.
          Or with other retailers too far away.
          Or because it's more than 20% lower than their price.
          Or because other retailers have sold out at the lower price.
          Or because they bought all the stock and are charging $110 for a game.

          @High Score King: It does depend on the employee. The Highpoint EB is pretty awesome at price matching, barely any issues. The Moonee Ponds EB store is dreadful, probably the worst offender.

          They are ultimate Kids GCs, seems like Woolies only got them in denominations of $30. So you'd need 10 of them to grab a PS4

        • HeyJJ on 24/11/2016 - 07:49

      cost me $21 to upgrade from ps4 launch console that was getting super loud and controller nubs cracking sold it for $450 on gumtree just before pro was announced and just got the ps4 pro for $479 with $7.9 cashback, might not of had console for a few months but no exclusives came out in that period so just played most stuff on pc.

      • congo on 23/11/2016 - 12:10

        That is a great price for the pro.
        Where did you buy it from?

    • [Deactivated] on 22/11/2016 - 22:18

      Only if you have a 4k tv.

    • Smigit on 22/11/2016 - 23:38
      +1

      Probably best to read some reviews, particularly those that break down the differences for a few titles. Even without the 4K TV you may see better frame rates or higher res (say 1080p vs 900p) on a specific title, but it's probably a very personal thing as to whether that's worth almost twice the price. For the immediate future you'll be able to play any game that the Pro can.

    • Yuri Lowell on 23/11/2016 - 00:03

      4k yes 1080p no.

    • datfunkyguy on 23/11/2016 - 10:29

      like what spedstyle said, something you might want to consider is the amount of noise the different PS4 consoles make under full load. My launch PS4 was SUPER loud, especially in the middle of summer when the fans were running at full speed all the time.

      I downsized to the PS4 slim a couple of months ago and am so glad I did. There's really no noise at all when running mid-spec games on a cool day, and even under full load on a hot day it's nowhere near the jet engine noise of my original PS4.

      My understanding of the new PS4 pro is that it's even noisier than the original when operating under full steam.

      But if you have an air con unit nearby and don't mind the extra ambient noise, maybe none of this is a consideration for you.

      • krazynayba on 23/11/2016 - 14:23

        When I had a launch ps4 i recall it getting jet engine loud also and at least three other people I know with launch ps4s have the same issue. I ended up selling that one and getting the updated revision of the regular ps4, which had slightly better cooling and physical power/eject buttons. I've had it for just as long as my original and have yet to encounter the noise again :)

        Heh.. maybe they'll release a revised model of the Pro eventually to address the same problem? :P

        "Our Shop With Confidence Price Match Guarantee means
        we match any genuine competitor’s advertised price!

        How do I claim?

        Simply show us evidence of our competitor’s advertised price for the identical product advertised 7 days after your purchase. Once we verify the price is genuine (inclusive of delivery or installation costs) and the product is ready for immediate delivery, we will happily match or refund the difference to you.

        What are the exclusions?

        Competitors that do not operate multi-store omnichannel retail operations
        Conditional offers, such as package deals, cash back, bonus, bulk purchase or limited quantity
        Trade, special event, club or membership offers, or prices not available to the general public
        Clearance, seconds or refurbished lines, or ex demonstration or display offers
        Offers by any resellers, classifieds, auction sites, manufacturers, distributors or importers
        Offers that require delivery from an overseas based distributor direct to the customer
        Advertising errors (either ours or competitors)"

        could have argued that their refusal to price match is inconsistent with their advertised position on their website

    Was all set on PS4 Pro + VR but now not so sure. No 4k TV (my FHD 55" tcl panel looks the dog's nuts, got it for sub $600, and stoked with it), hearing less and less buzz about VR (it's like the early 90's all over again) and I'm still finding unexpectedly awesome (used) PS3 games for $5 or $6. Just finished Rage, The Evil Within and got a few hours into Singularity, which is like some sort of BioShock clone and friggin' awesome.

    Hi guys,

    I still have a POS3 that i bought years ago. Don't play much now bought it only for GTA and DMC. I am confused as to whether I should grab this deal or stop playing games. Any good games out there? And is 500gb enough?

    • magic8ballgag on 23/11/2016 - 08:36

      Hey mate, yes I would recommend the upgrade, especially at this price.

      Plenty of cheap, good games can be had during the various Christmas & black Friday sales that are coming up, plus remasters of some old titles that are more than worth a replay.

      In terms of size, personally 500gb is plenty, but it all comes down to how much you game/intend to play, at the end of the day the hard drive can always be changed over in the future for a larger one.

    • ThePunchingBag on 23/11/2016 - 10:31

      GTA V is good, The Last Of Us is good too.

      Whether you keep playing is a personal choice.

      500GB is not even close to enough if you decide to play multiple games but it's easy to find a decent & cheap 2TB HDD & throw it into the PS4 as I did for my kids…
      Do it straight away though because some of those updates are massive & depending on your Internet speed you could take a few days to download all the updates which is a pain in the BUTT…

    • OldBugger on 23/11/2016 - 15:13
      +3

      or stop playing games.

      And face reality 24/7? Don't be mad.

  • Red Pandas on 23/11/2016 - 08:47

    Is 500gb enough though? Roughly how many games will it hold? Or is better to fork out an extra $89 for the 1tb with COD?

    • Not a Toomah on 23/11/2016 - 09:42
      +2

      COD bundle definitely better deal. you can sell the codes for around $100 which leaves you with a 1TB ps4 for $299. I have a 500gb PS4 and it's not enough.

    • ThePunchingBag on 23/11/2016 - 10:33

      It's not hard to find a cheap compatible 2TB HDD & put in your PS4 but get the HDD when your purchase a PS4 as you won't want to do all updates etc twice…

      • [Deactivated] on 25/11/2016 - 08:45

        What does this mean ?

        you won't want to do all updates etc twice

        • Scipio on 25/11/2016 - 13:15
          +2

          You'll need to re-download all of the system updates as well as any digital games, patches and DLC again to the new HDD. You cannot transfer the date from the internal/original 500gb HDD to your replacement.
