Not the cheapest it has been, but great price if you can't wait for them to be on sale. I did price match at Officeworks today for 5% discount $45.60.
Edit: Changed title to reflect version 2 and deal is for one @ $48

But still at $48 it beats the normal about $80
It says "2 - $48"
Ahhh no it's the Chromecast version 2 for $48.
Are you sure? This is a 'Harvey Norman' deal….
@jv:
This is the Chromecast version 2 which is on a deal which you only get one of them for $48. Not two of them. That's why the title says Chromecast 2 which this is. The original Chromecast came in USB stick form but the second release of the Chromecast is also known as Chromecast 2 which is this round shaped one. You have obviously mistaken how it's saying Chromecast 2 - $48 thinking that it's a deal for two of them at that price. Sorry it's not.
thanks.
@jv: Yes Version 2
Not two of them.
He's commented this before on other Chomecast 2 threads just to troll the OP. You should know jv by now and not bother falling for it and explaining :)
Yeah sorry i didn't know jv. Now i do!. Won't fall for it again. :)
Bought one of these today, got it at officeworks with the price beat guarantee, came to $45.60 with the 5% discount.
yeah me too :)
Got mine for $36.10 delivered thru the OW eBay deal 8 months ago
Thanks, but I cant figure out how to time travel??
Delorean
Carsales?
Or do you know a guy called Marty who posted some on Gumtree?
I've just ordered a new Sony TV with Android built in (waiting for it to arrive). Is there any advantage to buying a Chromecast? Or will my TV do everything the CC will do?
Or will my TV do everything the CC will do?
You can't use your TV as a sink plug…
Generally your Sony TV running android will have chromecast built-in - no advantage for buying a separate Chromecast for your TV.
You shouldn't need it. Though, and it may just be my personal bad luck, a few devices with "built in" chromecasts such as TV and nVidia shield TV have both behaved buggy to the point i actually plugged a standalone chromecast in instead which worked better. YMMV, try the TV first. Chromecasts can often be found at a good price via ebay if needed later.
Yep.
I still have issues casting Foxtel and Stan to non-Google hardware / devices, and some of them also require you to power them on first before they are available to cast to.
no advantage for buying a separate Chromecast for your TV.
Good for contingency planning if the built in one fails during the final of "Married at First Sight"
depends if you use google home / as some tvs with built in chromecast will not power on when you say 'google turn on my tv'
whereas if you have a chromecast/and external power to it…
Just gonna add; cheapest around at the moment for single units.
I went through an ordeal to get it cheaper at kogan; but lots of effort.
$6.99 for the $20 + $30 vouchers.
$10 referral credit
$20 off $50 spend
$30 off $120 spend
Two chromecasts $59 ea + delivery (free shipster)
Makes it $119, add a $3 tooth whitening kit so $122 + voucher cost ($6.99)
Less $10 referral credit for new account, less $20 coupon, less $30 coupon
Apply coupons
Makes it $68.99 delivered for two chromecasts (AU model) or 34 ea +/-
you forgot woolworths egift card to buy kogan $50 gift card to save another $2.50
Ohh yeah!
That would make it what $66.50 delivered?
I was suprised kogan actually shipped all my orders, good on them.
I bough the Chromecast Ultra for $50 at duty free last year. Shit sales so they reduced the price
great deal.
anybody know of any deals atm for the ultra?
Will this play 4k hdr?
You will need the Ultra model.
I read it too quick and thought it said 2 for $48
Sorry about that, didnt want people thinking it was the Ulta model
Such an irrelevant device.
What’s a relevant device?
Phone is fine
Huh? This is for watching shows on a TV. And you need a phone or tablet to use it.
6 inch screen compared to 40+ inches? No comparison mate.
It's an OzBargain meme, you'll get used to it after a while.
It's actually a good, cheap option if you don't have a smart TV.
They have cc + home mini for $97. Not a bad deal either.
These things hold their value. I paid about the same almost a year ago.
These combined with Plex are great.
How long is the power cable? I dont have a power plug behind my TV and was wondering how to power this one?
If you have a spare USB port on your tv, you can use that, but note: if you are using google home to turn tv on, it needs mains power, unless your USB works in standby mode.
Thanks guys. I have a HiSense Series 3 tv. Wondering if the USB port on it will supply the required power?
yep I use the bottom USB port on mine, works fine.. the USB port is blue (other two aren't).. CBF looking up what that means exactly but it works fine.
edit: just looked it up.. the bottom USB port supports 1amp while the top two only support 500mA.
From memory about 1.5m.
You can use a powered USB port on your TV, but not all are suitable.
I have a cheap Kogan where I don't have a USB port that will suffice.
Officeworks also updated their price to $48.
damnit
Meanwhile, I did a "click and collect" and still haven't received any confirmation from HN that I can come and grab the item.
I should've just popped down to OW and been done with it.
Purchased one for my sister last week. Went to HN and they had them for $58. I asked the salesman what is the best price bud
and he came back with $57 and said that was below cost and he can’t do any better.
I said The Good Guys have then for $55, he replied we can match that. I replied no you can’t it is below your cost I will go buy it from TGG and walked away.
I paid to much at the good guys $54, but my sister needed it that day.
EDIT: HN always have a limit of 2 per person. It is to make the goods look like they @ a hot price.
Yeah HN and there below cost price, I very rarely buy something from them these days as I don't like that kind of tactic.
Also available from Officeworks on ebay for $45.60 using the "PICK5" 5% discount code.
Your choice of either free shipping or pick up at your local store…

Yeah not the cheapest that i've been like i got mine for $43 at HN a super buy. But still at $48 it beats the normal about $80. I guess it wasn't selling that well at the usual about $80.
