  • Bargain, thanks :)

    • Not expired, although you can't search for the item through the BigW website, going direct to the link still works.

      BigW honoured the deal in store on Monday after showing them the website (27/11).
      JB Hi Fi price matched after bringing up the website yesterday (28/11).

    Good controller, for those who missed the jb deal, this is the second best

    • What jb deal was there?

      • Gt sport and controller combo 69 dollars

        • +5

          Definitely not better if you don't want the game. Still very good though, could probably trade the game for $20.

        • +2

          @Moofy: yeah, if you want the controller alone, this is the best

        • @lklk901:
          Out of stock now though, there are two BigW near me. Might call in the morning.

        • @Moofy: good luck, mate!

        • @lklk901:
          Called, they had some. Put two on hold.

          For some reason I thought they were $40 but it's $40 off and $49.

          You have to wonder how it sold out. Maybe people were buying 5 or 20 and think they will make a killing on ebay, or something.

  • +7

    Ah man, this is going to be my gateway to collecting DualShock 4 controllers. Great find, thanks.

  • +1

    sooo can we just use isopropyl alcohol to rub off the GT printing on the touch panel?
    Also is this the v2 of the controllers?

    • +4

      Got one from JB deal yesterday. Can confirm it's Dualshock 4 v2.

      • +1

        Any main difference/s from the original controller?
        And should be compatible with all PS4 variations, correct?

        • +4

          Pretty sure the only difference is the light bar along f the top is being moved to just above the top of the touch pad.
          Also when you plug in the USB cord now the controller will transmit via the cord rather than wireless. Lower latency.
          Yes, correct.

        • @quirkleton: Ty Ty. I'll buy one soon

        • +1

          V2 can also be plugged into a computer via USB as a controller, big benefit

        • +4

          @justabargainhunter: You do not need V2 to do that.

        • @justabargainhunter:
          Only via USB, can't Bluetooth?

        • @simontadaa: Thanks looks like you're correct

        • -7

          @simontadaa: Think the v2 charges at the same time as you are using it - which the v1 did not.

        • I'm pretty sure v2 fixed the trigger hinge problem that sometimes snaps when you constantly uses the trigger. V1 controllers start to have creaking sound and it snaps not long after. Not experiencing hinge problem with V2 controllers.

    • +1

      V2 has slightly improved battery life as well.

      • Good to hear V1 battery life was a significant downgrade in comparison to the ps3 controllers. So much so that I saw people buying and soldering additional batteries in the DS4's.

    • Why would you want to run it off?

  • +9

    I'm probably going to regret not buying this.

    • +7

      Let's regret it together… Lol

      • Don't worry, out of stock, we'll all regret not checking OzBargain on a Saturday night..

  • Less with Gift cards….

    • Been trying to get one via the woolworths site, not seeing 5% discount - and it is a egift card. Any idea?

      • Cashrewards…

        • Yeah but cash rewards is cash back later on. The ww gift card thing is meant to be independent in cash rewards and you get 5% discount at checkout. Which I am not seeing.

          I also have cash rewards enabled anyway.

        • @Moofy: login cashrewards and search woolworths gift cards and follow the link…5% off will be applied on checkout…not cashback.

          https://www.cashrewards.com.au/woolworths-gift-cards

        • @Aemit:
          Yep I do that and it doesn't show a discount when I go to pay. So I dunno..

        • @Moofy: it should show…if u r getting $500 egift cards…should be showing $475

        • @Aemit:
          Yeah no idea.. Can you screenshot for me? Would be very good before Xmas.

          No idea why I'm not seeing it..
          Says not cash rewards dependant. Just do egift voucher which I'm doing.. headdesk

        • @Moofy: dont know how to attach screenshot here…but i just followed what i wrote.. and it shows $475 for me for $500…ring cashrewards…can not help u further…thanks

        • @Aemit:
          http://i63.tinypic.com/2vtr4mc.png
          That is my checkout. :)
          I might contact cashrewards, it does sound simple though..

        • @Moofy: did u login to cashrewards?

        • @Aemit:
          Went there via the cash rewards link you gave me.

        • +1

          @Aemit:
          Worked it out, it must reset or change out of it when I logged into WW with my account, or something! anyway, thanks for your help!
          So I just went to buy from that link and not logged into my account and it worked.

  • +1

    great deal! is there any way to pick up in store?

    • +1

      not without buying instore

  • Great deal ! Thank you Big W and thank you @theearth !

  • +5

    I saw this and thought great deal… but I already have two PS4 controllers (admittedly v1). Can't see why I would want another - also my PS4 stand only holds two controllers. If only one would break :(

    • +1

      Your R2 and left stick is still working OK? Mine broke after 3 or 4 months and the left stick rubber came off soon after.

      • I have 2 V1's and a V2 and both the V1's have broken R2 levers. One doesnt work at all and the other doesn't have any pressure sensitivity, so its either nothing or flat out R2. Definitely picking up this controller so I have a second reliable controller.

  • goneski

  • EB or JB can price match I'm guessing?

    • Jb got ozbargained yesterday.

    • EB or JB can price match I'm guessing?

      EB are not pricematching anything this weekend…

      • +1

        My local one did.

        • I was told they got a message from their head office that no price matching would be done over this weekend.

        • -1

          @jv: shrug Perhaps you were told porkies, or perhaps you were told an excuse, or perhaps the guys at my local were special snowflakes. No idea.

        • +1

          @Scipio:
          FWIW I recieved the same response today, EB "we're not matching any Black Friday deals" and Target "we don't pricematch games" despite being able to price match at both stores with no dramas in the past.
          Meh, life's too short.

        • Mine did too

        • @zonra: Same store was unable to do two steam link/card bundles = free Wolf II or other game today. Some people said their local store was able to do it, others said no. My guy had to think about it before erring on the side of caution. It might depend on who you get or maybe chromium (below) and I just got lucky (it was early on).

      • I price matched Big W at EB when I bought Driveclub VR for $20 yesterday

      • +1

        I had no success price matching at the EB near my home, but the one near work was happy to. Luck of the draw I guess.

      • My EB price matched big w as well. The guy tried to get me the gt sport and controller bundle for 89 and i said jb did it for 69 (thanks to this thread) and they gave it to me!

  • How long do these controllers last? I only have one brand new one atm and will mostly ne playing one player games but I havr never seen one at this price

    • +5

      Depends. Are you competitive and do you play Fifa?

  • Bugger, looks like out of stock already :(

  • +2

    Apologies for the inconvenience, but this item is out of stock online. :(

  • Are you sure it's instore as well? Is this nation wide?

    • I was in my local store today looking at controllers and there was no indication of this deal at my store.

      • Have you asked the staff to scan for the price?

        • No I didn't. It's possible this deal only started this afternoon though as I was there in the morning

      • no indication at my local store either, and asked they guy at the counter and he didn't know, but scanned the controller and it was $49

  • Out of stock. I had to wait for my egift card arghhh! Missed it and now stuck with the gift card.

    • seems available to me

      • No, out of stock online.

        • Shows as in stock for me, and I was able to place an order just now

        • @based:
          Probably was in your cart or something. I put two in my cart an hour or so ago and it says they are out of stock. It's not available now.

        • @Moofy:
          Yea i had mine in cart as well but when i returned it showed home delivery not available and couldn't go further with the order. I tried clearing cache and data but still nothing. Hopefully I can call and pay over the phone tomorrow if price is still the same.

        • @Pandaboss:
          They should have them in store, when I looked a few weeks ago they had a lot there.

        • @Moofy: ok thanks ill give them a call tomorrow.

        • @Pandaboss:
          Just called my local, they have some. Put two on hold.

        • @Moofy:
          I had it sitting in my cart for a while

        • @based:
          ???? You already said that.. Wtf

        • @Moofy: nope

        • @based:
          You said " Shows as in stock for me, and I was able to place an order just now".

          It's okay, there is always one ;)

        • @Moofy:
          And then you said 'it was probably in your cart', I was confirming that I'd had it sitting in my cart for a while

        • @Moofy:
          I called but she wont put them on hold and apparently sale ends tomorrow. I won't be back till next Wednesday! So gona try get partner to pick up for me :)

        • @Pandaboss: Yep ends on the 27th. I rang one store and got two put on hold but we were going to the other shopping centre so I called them beforehand and got 2 from there put on hold.
          Sale does end 27th (tomorrow).
          I play xbox one but almost got the PS4 GT bundle awhile back but it was a little excessive. Like the GT stuff though, I play FM7 on PC so can use these controllers on PC. Not sure about the short battery life though, get about 50%. I use rechargeables on my xbox one controllers.

    • How do these work exactly to get for 5% off, i went into the woolworths site, but the 5% doesn't seem to apply at checkout unlike what:
      https://www.cashrewards.com.au/woolworths-gift-cards
      says.

      • It should apply and show in the new total. I got my egift card with the 5% discount plus cashrewards too!. Maybe try again?

  • i got the last one in the cart…

    i suppose they will be available in store tomorrow anyway

    I've cancelled my cart, good luck guys

    • you're too nice

  • +2

    Damn I was at a bigw today as well! Don't even have a ps4 but a bargain is a bargain, right?!

    • Use it for PC.

      • Actually, I have a red v2 controller for pc already. ;)

        Wouldn't mind another one though.

  • No discounts on either Ashes Cricket nor Xenoblade 2. The waiting game continues.

  • wouldn't one need friends for a second controller…

    • not necessarily…

      If your controller dies while playing a game (very likely). Plug it in. Grab the second controller.

      Applicable if you play over 7-8 hours without charging

      • +1

        thanks yummycoot man

  • what is better about this controller?

    • Pretty sure the only difference is the light bar along the top is being moved to just above the top of the touch pad.

      Also when you plug in the USB cord now the controller will transmit via the cord rather than wireless. Lower latency.
