Looks like JB hifi have one upped target and have the limited edition of Wildlands and For Honor out for $49. Unsure of expiry. Looks like the normal versions are also available at $49 if the LE sells out.

    nice one OP

  • xerot on 29/03/2017 - 15:02

    "$49 Each", I though it was a ridiculous combo price by the description like the titan fall 2 & battlefield 1 from a few weeks ago.

    Thanks OP - got one on hold to pick up tonight. Was not to start till tomorrow - seems the online team jumped the gun…

    Ghost Recon is a fun game, well worth it at $49.

    • imurgod on 29/03/2017 - 19:45

      FWIW I bought and returned it. I thought it was a buggy, boring mess not worthy of the ghost recon name.

      Pretty decent price though.

        I came across no bugs, there has been a big patch released since release though that addresses some issues. And did you play in co-op? Great fun when you play with 3 mates.

        • imurgod on 29/03/2017 - 22:02

          It was in dire need of a patch. I returned it last weekend. I did play it co-op a few times but those guys returned it as well. I couldn't see the fun side of it in co-op either to be honest. IT felt like a cross between farcry and just cause 3. It simply didn't feel fun. I did love every other GR in the series and was hoping this was more like those ones. Very much a matter of taste as I know people who like it as well.

          On that note, Ubisoft seems to be releasing very broken games this gen and patching them later. I know everyone is doing that but it seems to me that Ubi are the worst offenders and then, like Assassins Creed Unity and Watchdogs, they were still rubbish.

          This title isn't as bad as those two titles and at $49, it's worth a look if you're not jaded like me.

    Nice but bit disappointed limited edition just means game + steelbook.

    • AussieGargain on 29/03/2017 - 16:30

      I have slight OCD about disc cover. All my PS4 games have normal covers so steelbook is "no no" to me. The latest Tomb Raider is an exception as it has leather cover for normal edition? Why?????????

      • asubtleviolence on 29/03/2017 - 16:39
        +1

        Haha, I thought I was the only one. I've been looking at the steelbook edition of Persona 5 that's coming out (the only version available on launch), wondering how it will look next to my regular PS4 game spines.

      • Jenny Death on 29/03/2017 - 17:48

        Friend, just place all your steelbooks to the left side of all other games, that way the order heirachy becomes case type > alphabetical.

      • dreamstation on 29/03/2017 - 17:54

        You certainly aren't alone. I feel the exact same way too.

      • manbearpig on 29/03/2017 - 18:51

        Do you also arrange your games from R18+ to G like me, or alphabetically? I can't stand the classification colours being all mixed…

        • Bebopp on 30/03/2017 - 01:01
          +1

          you also need to arrange it by publisher, co-op availability, genre, and the year the game came out. Otherwise you're not doing it right.

      • TheClash on 30/03/2017 - 13:38

        For what its worth the Limited Edition GR:Wildlands comes with both a normal and steel case. :)

  • asubtleviolence on 29/03/2017 - 16:06

    Are JB trying to get more aggressive/competitive with their game prices? I've noticed a lot of their pre-order/launch prices have gone down to $79 (rather than the usual $89), and they actually seem to be having a few sales lately.

    • magic8ballgag on 29/03/2017 - 16:18

      I don't understand how slightly dropping the prices to be competitive for their new release games is being aggressive?

      • asubtleviolence on 29/03/2017 - 16:30
        +3

        Aggressive in the sense of taking action (the opposite of passive). If they're dropping launch prices to close the gap on Target and Big W and take some of their sales, I'd call it aggressive.

        • Siuto on 29/03/2017 - 16:57
          +2

          I actually find them not competitive enough. I used to buy games at JB but not anymore (unless I can price match). BigW and Target seem to have better deals more often. And JB is only reactive to their prices and only for a week or two before JB put the prices back up.

        • asubtleviolence on 29/03/2017 - 17:25

          @Siuto: I agree, which is why I'm hoping this is the start of a change. In the last year or so especially, JB have had some of the worst prices around for games. Sales have been few and far between, and older games remain at stupid prices for way too long. As a typical OzBargainer, I buy games in whichever store has the best price - I can't even remember the last time that was JB.

        • magic8ballgag on 29/03/2017 - 18:27
          -3

          I don't think you understand the meaning of aggressive.

        • asubtleviolence on 29/03/2017 - 18:51

          @cdestratis: I think I understand the word fine enough.

          Here's Google's second definition for 'aggressive' (the first being the 'violent' context):

          behaving or done in a determined and forceful way.
          "we needed more growth to pursue our aggressive acquisition strategy"
          synonyms: assertive, forceful, competitive, insistent, vigorous, energetic, dynamic, driving, bold, audacious, enterprising, go-ahead, zealous, pushing; informalpushy, in-your-face, feisty
          "an aggressive promotional drive"
          antonyms: submissive, diffident

          If you're in competition with another retailer, and you start making changes to be more competitive (like matching or beating their prices) and win market share from them, that's an aggressive strategy. A passive business strategy would focus on doing your own thing and not worrying about what competitors are doing.

          I'm not suggesting they're going to start thumping their chests and throwing bricks through Target's windows.

        • magic8ballgag on 30/03/2017 - 08:32

          @asubtleviolence:

          Okay, well I guess we have different definitions of its meaning then.

          A passive business strategy would focus on doing your own thing and not worrying about what competitors are doing.

          In my opinion, this is what JB has always been doing, and it is why they have been a successful retailer.

        • asubtleviolence on 30/03/2017 - 09:12

          @cdestratis: I think that's what they've been doing too, which is why I was wondering if they were trying to change.

  • seboya on 29/03/2017 - 16:12

    I'm wanting to pick up Wildlands, but won't be able to play it until about three weeks from now.

    Should I pull the trigger on this deal, or roll the dice on getting it cheaper in three weeks..? I don't particularly care about the "JB Hi-Fi EXCLUSIVE steelbook" edition BS.

  • Siuto on 29/03/2017 - 16:51

    I wonder if the price reduction is due to the game not selling well. I noticed a similar thing with other ubisoft games (Watch Dogs 2, The Division).

    I am still playing Wildlands at the moment and I have the most fun playing co-op with friends (haven't tried playing with randoms). The game can get a little repetitive if you play solo.

    I managed to pick up the game at $49 near launch (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/296060) and I find it worth the money especially if you have friends to play with.

    • cqbman on 29/03/2017 - 19:01

      Damn, thanks for the heads up Siuto. This is what I was worried about, as I prefer to play single player :(
      Same reason I didnt bother with the Division or Rainbow Six Siege.
      Seems all their "Tom Clancy" games are going multiplayer… What does Ubisoft have against Single Player?
      Next it'll be Splinter Cell :eyeroll:

    • imurgod on 29/03/2017 - 19:49

      I reckon ubisoft have really dropped the ball this gen. I hated division and ghost recon. I don't mind rainbow 6 seige but it's not as good as the older ones.

  • shadowarrior on 29/03/2017 - 16:59

    PC or PS4 for Wildlands is the question :|
    Anyone with PC version, does it scale well with SLI?

  • Scope on 29/03/2017 - 17:10

    Does For Honor (ps4) require an internet connection to play?

  • Powerfulkick on 29/03/2017 - 18:03

    For honor golden edition is only 79(was149)

    • shiraj on 29/03/2017 - 19:23

      I think that is the edition Trump plays….

    • Shads on 30/03/2017 - 11:01

      Does anyone have any input into whether For Honor Gold Edition is worth it?
      Tossing up whether I just get the standard or paying a bit extra for the Gold.

  • Gemka2K18 on 30/03/2017 - 10:21

    Thanks for the heads up, was gonna buy at Target until i saw this post.
