Good opportunity to grab the Nintendo Switch, it's basically 5% off the current Target deal. Whilst it's slightly cheaper at Costco $439.99 for those with membership/Costco closeby, for an extra $5.56 via this Target deal you'll get free delivery and can also claim 2.6% Cashrewards cashback (~$12.19) at the moment. Can also get a controller(s) with free delivery and cashback on top or add game/accessories to your orde.

Delivery is free over $80 spend, otherwise free click & collect available for orders below $80.

These won't work with the code alone (minimum spend is $50), but can add to your existing order (from Target or other sellers):

    What does everyone think of the Switch? I am waiting for the next Mario/Splatoon before jumping on but was wondering if it is worth getting it now?

      Personally I think you should you wait till Spaltoon or Mario comes out as the deals will probably be better.

      However, if you're an avid Zelda fan but can't spare much time to play at home (e.g. i spend 2 hours+ each day on public transport) then I'd get it right now.

        Yeah two doesn't count as many.

        It appears that a majority of users are not experiencing these issues.

        And "speculation on the internet" is hardly a good source.

          Not to mention, the screen scratch issue is just an oversight. Not really a 'fault'.
          Include a 3c screen protector in future, or spend the $5 like I have and order a glass one.
          Solved.

          The joycon problem is fixed for free by Nintendo by placing a cube of conductive foam over the antenna.
          Solved.

          Both issues they SHOUDLN'T have to deal with, but both issues EASILY fixed.

        • abb on 22/03/2017 - 12:16

          @MasterScythe: Any more info / link about the joycon problem/fix? I get occasional problems with left joycon when playing wireless.

        • abb on 22/03/2017 - 13:48

          @MasterScythe: Thanks! Seems like I'll be calling them up in the near future. (Although it is somewhat tempting to do that repair myself, I'd rather they do it)

        • MasterScythe on 22/03/2017 - 13:59

          @abb:
          Well they're SUPER easy to open.

          And conductive foam is single dollars from Jaycar. So you can try a DIY, then if it still faults, take the foam out and send it back.

        • [Deactivated] on 22/03/2017 - 18:18

          @abb: I'd move the system to the front of a cabinet or above before sending it in just to test.

          But yeah send it in if it continues, i would not recommend trying to fix on your own. Just for warranty purposes. Some are good at that sort of thing tho.

      I think it's a great console but if those are the games you are waiting for you can wait.

      I suspect the 'issues' being reported have been blown a bit out of proportion. Certainly worth getting a screen protector just in case but otherwise I think the consoles doing fine. I'd expect places like the whirlpool Australia forums etc to be exploding if the issues were as wide spread as some have made out. Always worth keeping in mind that those with issues scream loudest and everyone else is usually too happy enjoying a product to make any noise and as such the discussion can become very lopsided very quickly.

        There's always a few bad eggs, every console has had it. With all the negativity, I still bought one. Mine has been transported around a bit and is all fine and dandy. I bought a screen protector as a precaution, it's also plastic and hasn't received a single scratch from the dock.

      I got one on release date and its been great. I got it with the Pro controller which I would highly recommend. Put a screen protector on when you get it. There have been people reporting that the dock scratches the screen. It hasn't happened to me but I put the screen protector on after 4 days of having it.

      Its been great so far and will only get better with more games and software updates

    • TLZ on 22/03/2017 - 11:48

      No. Better wait for the holidays.

      • FrugalShopper on 22/03/2017 - 16:14

        Love Zelda ofcourse, however this isn't a Zelda machine. Have never had any of the reported issues in the media. Fast RMX is crazily addictive and a brilliant game, definitely under marketed. Agree that Bomberman is fun to, the game has a nostalgic feel like when I used to play it on the SNES. +1

      I was gonna wait a few months but my inner strength failed me and so I got it in the first week for 425.

      Looking forward to the splatoon 2 demo coming up since I've heard great things about the first game.

      By the time I've finished Zelda there will be more games out. If you are a completionist who likes to explore then Zelda will occupy you for a long time.

    • Aussie Manny on 24/03/2017 - 13:48

      I'm having a ton of fun, and I've used it as a handheld several times. But the majority of my playing Breath of the Wild has been on my TV.

      I personally think you can wait until more games come out before buying one.

    Have prices of Wii U dropped meaningfully since the switch came out? Would pick one up to toy with, but only at ozbargain prices.

    • argonide on 22/03/2017 - 14:07
      +2

      Wii U prices haven't dropped at all, and it's unlikely there will be an advertised clearance of them by any store because there's not enough stock.

      • Smigit on 22/03/2017 - 14:31

        Yeah I doubt we'll see much of a hardware price reduction. Best bet might be gumtree or eBay if someone's offloading their old one.

        On that note I can see the console having a bit of value down the road. There's not a huge number of units out there and the Switch isn't BC and we don't know how many titles will be ported. The Wii U has some strong first party titles so I can see it being a popular nostalgic trip in years to come.

    • [Deactivated] on 22/03/2017 - 14:12

      Not really, but the 3 for 2 pre-owned sale at EB can make some Wii U games attractive.

          I would've thought that they'd go to Costco instead and save waiting for delivery.

          Figured that'd be the case…Those eBay and PayPal fees will be fun!

          I would have thought it'd be cheaper to buy off a local US reseller instead of paying someone in Australia to ship it over to you.

          Oh well, good luck to them, I guess?

        • clint-008 on 22/03/2017 - 15:54

          @hamza23:
          Not sure on Costco's policies but I doubt that would let someone come in buy 17 consoles if they even have that many in stock, most stores have limits of one per customer. Additionally there might not even be a Costco near where they live.

          @j4ck:
          Hmm probably not cheap but currently they are going for around 400 USD on ebay, I would say at this stage they are taking a bit of gamble if they do intend to resell them considering the US is already starting to get the second wave of stock in, some Gamestops supposedly getting stock in the last 24 hrs.

        • j4ck on 22/03/2017 - 16:33

  • kylarstern on 22/03/2017 - 12:41

    I'll bite when they finally release that Pokemon game. For now, there's not enough to warrant a $400-500 purchase. I like the concept but with only Zelda out and its future uncertain (hoping it doesn't crash like the WiiU or die out like the Vita), I'll wait for a better discount and when more Nintendo titles are out.

        • ChillBro on 23/03/2017 - 09:36

          Wii u prices are terrible for a superseded console so it makes no sense to get games for it unless you already have the console if you can get the switch version for a wii bit more.

        • bailbondsh on 23/03/2017 - 09:41

          @ChillBro: the game is basically the same, and I already have a wii u and so should everyone else :)

        • bailbondsh on 23/03/2017 - 09:46

          @ChillBro: the wii u is also an established console without the problems the switch has had with its teething problems, all new switch owners are beta testers, Nintendo's quality control for that system is the worst it has ever been. The Wii U has a great library of games and it's a shame that no one bought one - the marketing was terrible. It is a much better console than the original Wii, the Wii was a horrible console.

        • ChillBro on 23/03/2017 - 09:52
          +2

          @defmay:
          As a switch owner I believe the problems have been exaggerated as is the norm with new consoles which sell well. Unless you can show some hard stats which prove otherwise?

          I would've gotten a wii u but the prices never came down to what I wanted to pay. Those $200 deals were extremely limited in quantity.

        • SydStrand on 23/03/2017 - 23:34

          @ChillBro: It's impossible to disprove either. There might be a huge number of people who either don't notice or don't care, even if they are affected by issues like left joycon connectivity. There might be people who are just defending their purchase, etc.

          Nintendo would never, ever disclose how many units are affected. All we have is anecdotal data and the fact is, people experienced a specific, reproducible problem with connectivity. Nintendo already acknowledged it, is fixing the issue at manufacturing, and adding conductive foam to the exact place the community had theorised was the engineering problem area. Whether it actually affects you or not, is likely due to your wireless environment, but it's real.

        • ChillBro on 23/03/2017 - 23:42

          @Strand0410: I'm sure it is but as I said, it seems exaggerated by the media. Plus, I'm sure you would also know that they're fixing affected units relatively quickly.

        • SydStrand on 24/03/2017 - 00:07

          @ChillBro: And good for them, but until Nintendo discloses how many units are returned, which they never will, we don't know how many are affected. Exaggerated? Who knows. It could literally affect all of the first run units, and most users just didn't notice because of their wireless environment.

    New Zelda BotW (switch) stock in. Conveniently just after the promo code expired. Bastids! If you're having as much trouble sourcing a copy as I am, I would suggest nabbing one even sans discount. It's the same cost w/ shipping as many outlets are charging just for the game. Also, I've called multiple outlets - none getting stock for a least a week, often 2 weeks+.
