Baby bunting is doing a 48 hour frenzy on the Ergobaby 360 Carrier Taupe/Lilac colour only.
Cheapest I have seen was the Toys R Us sale $149.99 (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/235619)
Enjoy
We got the bjorn, the misses believes the fabric is not as soft as the ergobaby.
The cousins bought the 360 at $200, they don't part with their money easily so for them to buy it theres some merit in the ergobaby.
So far the bjorn has been ok, but the misses prefer the 360. Maybe we will upgrade/sidegrade if the price stays like this or cheaper.
The ergobaby Performance is $100 at Catch of the Day which is an even better saving:

And its a much more pleasant colour set!
Father of 2 here.
I see a couple of comments and would to clarify.
The price is actually fantastic for the 360. Ebay has a lot of fakes, and from a store the cheapest I have ever seen is around $200.
The Ergo performance is only 3 position baby carrier. The baby can be on your back, on your side, or backward facing on your front (facing towards the parent). The 360 allows for additional position, which is frontward facing. Parent's will understand how important this is (there are a lot of babies who enjoy facing outwards).
Baby Bjorn will hurt you within 15-20 mins of carrying. I have a Ergo Performance, and it is way better on the shoulders then my Baby Bjorn One carrier.
Hopefully this is helpful to someone :)
I second this.
Except the father of 2 part… unless the Mrs has something she hasn't told me?? :O
I got the 360 as well
The BabyBjorn (given as a gift 2013) feels stiff. It eventually hurt my shoulders if I do prolong carrying. It helps to tighten the waist bit then it gets hot and uncomfortable. My partner says she gets really sore after short usage.
Might be better to get a performance or performance ventus if planning to use during summer.
I bought the 360 for my misses a month ago when Baby bunting had it for $189. Shes loving it, we will be using it for our Japan trip next year.
Reason we went for the 360 was mainly because of the front facing position.
Here are some reviews on the 360

Are there any side effects on child's hips? I have heard these things might cause hip dysplasia etc.

Extracted from the above link:
"Aligns with the recommended carry position from the International Hip Dysplasia Institute"
These are designed to support the baby's hip.
We have a 360 and all is very good
Excellent price, we got the cool air version of 360 since summer was coming up.. Unfortunately no discount for that one at the time
Couldn't see if it included the infant insert needed for new borns, just keep that in mind when purchasing. Should only be an extra ~$60-80 from memory for the insert, and they don't use it for too long depending on weight/size of bubs.
Is this better than baby bjorn?
