      @arbok:
      I'm sure your aware but since your talking usa prices you know 3ds's are region locked right? Can't play aussie games in a usa console.
    - cortex21 on 10/12/2016 - 19:16
      
      @arbok: I was going to say don't get one from USA as they are region lock so the savings on the console wouldn't be worth it for you. Also give Target's customer service a call, they can tell you which stores near you have one in stock if the AC 3DS is no longer on the website.

One suspects this sale will be conducted on the same processes as their last sale.

Nothing available after taking your money, and then cancelling the orders with the statement " Oh no, something is missing…."
- arbok on 10/12/2016 - 14:39
  
  that was horrible. they charged me $10 shipping for 2 of my 10 items. In the end I paid $18 for two old games.
  - Scaregdearimasu on 10/12/2016 - 19:14
    
    You should email or call them and complain. I read someone else did on here and received a partial refund.

      I didn't even bother to call and complain - there was plenty of that from other quarters. I just initiated a Paypal dispute for the shoddy practice!

    I must have got lucky. Ordered Twilight Princess HD and Just Dance 2017 in the sale and both came promptly.

aerona on 10/12/2016 - 14:43

Eb are the professionals, they will make money by tearing apart your package into 4 pieces, then charging you postage for all 4 pieces
- silverrat23 on 10/12/2016 - 15:27
  
  They didn't tear apart packages - they started to source the goods from stores themselves.
  
  In this case, the 4 items would be sourced from 4 difference stores as most would never have more than two items (from an order) originating from the same location.
championruby on 10/12/2016 - 15:14

can someone explain to me what steam link is? is it essentially a box that i plug into my tv and i can play all my steam games?

i currently have a macbook so can't play a lot of the steam games in my library. will this allow me to play all steam games on my tv?
- chihaeru on 10/12/2016 - 15:51
  
  It's pretty much a streaming box and requires a desktop machine turned on that you can stream the game from. PC runs the game, Steam Link just streams it to your TV/monitor. It doesn't actually run Windows or anything, so it can't double as a replacement system to run games that require Windows.
  
  You could still stream games from your MacBook to the Steam Link if you wanted, but it'd be OSX compatible games only.
- [Deactivated] on 10/12/2016 - 16:54
  
  tl;dr for you is no, it will simply run whatever you can on your Macbook but output it to your TV.
nnolan on 10/12/2016 - 15:18

So this is online only and we have to pay for postage? i wish there was click & collect
GameBunny on 10/12/2016 - 15:24

So what is this every 30 minutes thing ? I am confused. So I want to buy the PS 4 Pro Console Deal, wont it be available for the entire 24 hours or will the deal be avaiable for only 30 minutes out of that 24 Hour Monday sale ?! Please advise. Also will they allow me order online and pick it up from a store ?
- silverrat23 on 10/12/2016 - 15:32
  
  +2
  
  There is a new deal every hour. That deal would last for 30 minutes. For example, Pokemon Sun and Moon will go for $46 at 7pm, lasting for 30 minutes.
  
  The PS4 Pro deal would last for the whole day, since it's separate from the 30-minute deals.
  
  Cannot pick-up from store. Has to be purchased online for it to be delivered - and expect a shipping fee (which we don't know yet).

    Aahh great. Thanks for the clarification
- Dreamcazman on 10/12/2016 - 17:03
  
  Was considering the Pro deal also, but I've already got two of the games. I'd much rather a console only discount instead of having to also buy games I don't want then having to get rid of them.
tassieeagle on 10/12/2016 - 16:23

    They're giving away a $20 gift card if it's not delivered by the 24th, so hopefully the orders get shipped pretty quick.
  - Tal_Shiar on 10/12/2016 - 18:36
    
    15% chance imo from experience, don't get your hopes up though
g12345567 on 10/12/2016 - 16:43

Seems strange they stopped access to there main EB Games site.

Hope this sale isn't like there recent clearance sale where they had no stock, partially cancelling most of the items from orders without refunding the postage on cancelled items as well.
- Scaregdearimasu on 10/12/2016 - 19:18
  
  They do this every time the hold some weird sale like this with timed events.
  It's really awful as you lose complete access to any other info on the site.

Let me put it in simple terms -

EB can afford to do MUCH better than this. Mediocre Monday sums it up well
GameBunny on 10/12/2016 - 19:19

So from history is Mad Monday the best deal day from EB games or is it better to wait for the Boxing day sale ? Looking to get a PS4 Pro.

  Last year I remember ignoring a lot of good pre-Christmas sales and deals (for both video games and cameras) in anticipation of the "amazing" sales after Christmas, and they didn't really eventuate. So I'm going for it this time :-)
  
  Boxing day sales are great for saucepans, knives, clothes and manchester though!

    To answer your question, they were ordered as side dressing for my main items which were all cancelled.
- King Steuart on 11/12/2016 - 11:38
  
  If you're talking about the postage, I too was slugged $25 postage when they couldn't find the two main items I wanted on my order. I called them and spent about 12 minutes on hold (so not too bad really), and they immediately refunded the full $25 postage. Not bad considering I actually received about five items from five different stores around Australia.
  
  They did redeem themselves over that sale.

    Similar thing happened to me too during the last sale. Had to push it a bit, but eventually they refunded the postage.

Can someone link the 11 page catalogue, I can't see anything, is there a catalogue even available?
- Taipan20 on 10/12/2016 - 21:11
  
  i was confused about that too but when you click on the "go to deal" button it does take you to the 11 page online catalogue
  the catalogue link is here
  http://madmonday.ebgames.com.au/
  
  its actually 12 pages long not 11
  if you look in the bottom right corner it says "pg1" for page 1
  and then theres 2 arrows left and right in the middle of the page to flip the pages

  EB and Nintendo have a pretty tight business relationship, the only time you ever get a really good price is when it's on clearance and most of the time it's not from EB

For the steam link, can is use a XBOX controller?
Anyone has a Steam link? Is it useful? How the latency with 100Mb LAN for the recent games?

For value for money F4 @ $20 isn't bad, but doesn't include any DLC so might be a better deal with a 'deluxe' equivalent tomorrow.

Xbox One

Mafia III - Deluxe Edition: $59

Recore, Doom and Deus Ex Mankind Divided Collector's Edition: $88, $88 and $89 respectively.

Ryse, Sunset Overdrive (both pre-owned): $10 each

Titanfall 2 with tshirt, lanyard and other junk: $42 for all platforms.

CoD Legacy Edition (the one with Modern Warfare remastered): $77 for both platforms. Comes with metal case.
