    What is the usual RRP? Thanks.

    • TRENT86 on 14/12/2017 - 06:29

      I dunno it's a new bundle but the 1TB console by itself is usually around $369

    • HighAndDry on 14/12/2017 - 10:14

      Chromecasta Ultra I think has RRP of $99.

      • TheDavey on 14/12/2017 - 11:35
        +1

        It's often around $79 on sale though.

    • et tu brute on 14/12/2017 - 13:38

      For the Google Chromecast Ultra… the RRP is A$99.00, else "street" price around A$79.00… This is a very good price @ A$55.00… I suspect this price point may become common in the future if Amazon.com.AU start shipping their better and newer versions of Amazon Fire (only the Amazon Fire Basic available at the moment @ A$69.00).

      Anyway, if you are wanting 4K streaming or intending, this is a good unit and from my experience has been the most stable Chromecast model to date… oh, and be quick!!! … stocks won't last long at this pricepoint!!!

      • John Kimble on 14/12/2017 - 13:51

  • Mister Plod on 14/12/2017 - 07:37

    thank ye kindly, finally grabbed the chromecast ultra since my 4k tv's netflix app won't be getting HDR now (thanks hisense…)

    • Yafuturefavorite on 14/12/2017 - 08:13

      How come it won't be getting HDR?

      • Mister Plod on 14/12/2017 - 08:36
        +3

        The tv has HDR, but none of the built in apps support it. I have their "old" 2016 M7000 model. Hisense abandoned software support for it after about 6 months in favor of their newer models.

        The picture is still quite good for the price; it just has poor software that's missing features that they said repeatedly were coming, but then never did. I suppose you get what you pay for

        Either way, will be nice to finally see HDR in action with the CC Ultra :)

    • Frugalbargainator on 14/12/2017 - 12:07

      Hey this won't address the HDR in apps issue, but there is a south African firmware for the M7000 which is far better than any of the other available firmwares out there. I've installed and seen a good performance update. even with no tweaking, the picture looks awesome from factory settings, which is a stark contrast (no pun intended) to the horrible factory settings on the Au firmware

      • gandja on 14/12/2017 - 16:24

        Hi Frugal I have the same Hisense TV, is this South African firmware for the 55"/65" only or is it also for the 70". If it is for the 70" could I trouble you to send me a link for it. Thx.

  • miruki on 14/12/2017 - 07:39

    The Xbox bundle was $359 till yesterday @JB. I bought the same bundle for $357 from HN last Thursday so hopefully they will price match this new price.

    The chromecast is a solid deal, nearly the price of a new chromecast 2 (by $10 or so) AND you can stream 4k. Sold! Dont expect the units to last very long for sale tho lol

    Does 4k tv like tcl 60p20us have ultra Chromecast inbuilt or just regular Chromecast? Otherwise I have to buy the ultra now. I am in the market for 4k hdr tv in a budget.

  • Hinee on 14/12/2017 - 08:35

  • bryans on 14/12/2017 - 09:43

    Are there benefits of using Ultra on full HD tv? Will it downscale 4k content? Meaning it should look better.

    • yummypinacolada on 14/12/2017 - 10:19

      No reason to buy the ultra, just use chromecast 2.

      • gottacatchemall on 14/12/2017 - 11:03
        +1

        Not sure about the chromecast 2 but I just upgraded from the chromecast 1. It is a big difference on a 1080p screen as it has native hevc playback which most of my TV shows in plex are stored in. This means it no longer needs to convert it which saves processing power.

  • its on 14/12/2017 - 09:44

    Question: We mainly use Youtube and Plex app in our Samsung TV.. Any advantage of paying extra to get a chromecast for the purpose?

    • Soluble on 14/12/2017 - 11:37

      If your TVs native apps are doing everything you need I wouldn't bother.

    • gif on 14/12/2017 - 13:56

      In built apps are getting better and better, so Chromecast is becoming less of a requirement. I only have it so I have some TV control with Google Home as well as photo / video sharing from my iPhone.

  • BargainKen on 14/12/2017 - 09:49

    Thanks. Didn't need one but got it anyway. Nice to have and stream the odd 4k video

  • finger on 14/12/2017 - 09:51

    Can you just stream audio eg Spotify to the Chromecast if I connect it to my avr and not my TV

    • TNDO on 14/12/2017 - 10:02

      You could do this if you get the Chromecast Audio - I've set mine up this way.

      • finger on 14/12/2017 - 10:04

        I was hoping to use this but when others at home want to stream YouTube the option is there. Audio would be he main use but.

    • Hinee on 14/12/2017 - 10:08

      Spotify works great on the Chromecast.
      *edit
      My mind only just processed AVR. Yeah that should work fine also.

    • ozy on 14/12/2017 - 10:48

      I purchased one for this reason, on screen controls wont pass through unless your AVR is HDCP 2.2 compliant.
      My receiver won't so I have google audio for spotify to the receiver and chromecast ultra for the TV.
      But for pure audio its a bit overkill for this.. in saying that, its cheap enough to warrant doing it.

      unfortunately not natively (app), but you can cast your screen (laptop/pc etc) to chromecast through the browser if using chrome on the computer.

    1. 1 x Google Home,

    2. 1 x Google Home Mini, and

    3. 1 x Chromecast Ultra.

      3 - $55

      Total - $238

      Are you looking at buying all three? If not then no
      Do you need them now or willing to wait?
      Buy 3 now, 2 if you need it pre Xmas and wait for a deal on 1 (if you feel you really need it).

      If you need them all now, then it’s a good price but the chrome cast is the best deal supporting the others.
