Just creating a general discussion thread for the upcoming Amazon Prime Day on 16 July 2018. Please put all the Prime Day related discussions here, and other Prime Day related forum threads will be merged here. All Prime Day related deals will also be tagged Amazon Prime Day. I guess the main deal they are trying to push would be the Prime membership sign ups, as more and more Prime features will be released.
hopefully a good deal on Windows phone
you seem deadset on a windows phone. why? didn't you have a bad experience when it came to warranty?
wow I feel stalked!!
im just worried!
I haven't actually purchased anything from Amazon Australia yet. Unbelievable? Less material possessions means more coin!
Like… physical coin?
I haven't held physical coin in months.
You just wanted to show off your battlestation didn't you? I don't know how I could cope with a monitor being above another. Always gotta look up.
Notice your bedroom has no room for a bed; then again it isn't like you will be bringing anyone home with you. :)
Are you on Tinder?
Hey AC is that lino you have put under the chairs?
Looks like it is!
I'd say it's time for an intervention…
@AngryChicken:
huh? No seriously is that your room or just a joke? - I can't tell
Anyway if it is, I wanted to let you know that old Lino can be up to 80% asbestos so be very careful with it.
@King Tightarse: Umm, no. Not a gamer, though i do have two monitors operating but they're in different locations (long story).
I don't really need anything but I'm sure I'll end up buying something if it's a good deal. After all I need to spend the $10 credit from the prime deal
A good price on automatic coffee machine would be nice. Getting rid of the pods… Too much plastic
you could always get a nespresso machine they use aluminium pods which are recyclable
Hopefully they have an Amex / NAB 10% cashback again :) Going by the overseas deals, I'm 99% sure amex will get involved.
Hoping for a return of the $299 1TB PS4 deal. Held out for the Days of Play sale only to be disappointed. :(
I bought the echo + echo dot deal and am waiting to see what happens Monday. Have a few things I want to get but holding out to see if anything goes down in price.
I'm about to move to the U.S. so 8 don't think I'll be able to make the most of any deals :(
I feel your pain. Maybe one day this ‘Amazon’ will make it over to the states.
Hoping for a $399 PS4 Pro…
There one come with fordnite only 370
Thanks, picked it up :)
$351 after cashback. Hope you did not forget that as I did.
The current listings under Today's Deals look underwhelming. Hopefully, there's more to come. The Dandenong fulfilment centre is too small. They need to open the larger Sydney warehouse ASAP.
Many other deals will come, they just haven't pushed them live yet, I've seen ~100 deals go live and then go off the page again including the Nintendo Switch and others
What was the switch price out of curiosity
No prices are live until the lightning sale starts at the specified time, I only just noticed that it was on the today's deals page starting at 5pm
@ tveye
A 43,000 square metre distribution center coming up in Moorebank, Southwest Sydney hopefully before end of this year…..
Do you need to be an Amazon Prime member before 12pm today in order to get the Prime Day deals? Say if there's a really good bargain, can you sign up at any time during the sale and still get the deal?
Amazon pretty flexible so I'd say most likely
Yes. Instant signup.
Xbox One S 1TB is showing between $100 and $200, so guessing it'll be $199 again, starting 3PM
Echo Dot is showing up as >50% off so could be close to $30. Maybe in competition with the Google Home Mini deal today. Starts at Midday
I think we should also highlight the lack of deals on prime day in order to put pressure on Amazon to become more competitive. I'm not even trying to find the cheapest price, just any cheaper price from a Google search.
Eg, Logitech k400 plus wireless, 55, (vs 39 PLE).
(Edit, now 39).
200gb SanDisk Ultra microSD, 90, (vs 85 PC Case gear).
Kindle Paperwhite, 179, (vs 174 Officeworks).
(Edit, former has free 3g) maybe I'll stop I'm not very good at this.
At least they are winning with the echo dot.
Ps4 1tb, 379 looks good!
K400 is $39
Paperwhite is $129
Yes my fault on the Kindle, but the Logitech appeared at that price initially (unless I'm really going mad).
If it's a timed deal, they're not showing the Prime day price until that time arrives (at least for me).
Aaaaaaaaaaand it's begun!
cricket sounds
lol…
At least the website hasn't fallen over.
Actually impressive given that essentially every other Australian retailer's website crashes with a big sale
Do you realise as part of Amazons services……… they actually do servers, hosting, cloud shit etc?? Harvey (profanity) doesnt have cloud services
Haven't seen anything worthy of a 'day' yet….
Flop!
Pretty good deal
PS4 Pro 1TB Console with Bonus Fortnite Content
by Sony Interactive Entertainment
Be the first to review this item
Price: $519.00
Deal Price: $379.00 Delivery at no additional cost for Prime Members
yup. saw thats and did a impulse buys…
The mobile app isn’t that great to navigate around trying to find bargains, unless I’m missing something obvious!
Can't see how to search different categories, also items not on sale yet don't have a countdown on item page.
What's with the main Prime Day page showing a higher list price for some items.
Logitech G903 for example was $169 now $139 but the main page was saying it was $248.
Not sure but I was seeing prices lag behind in terms of price changes when I was having my winge above.
Where can I see watched deals?
Scroll down to the bottom of the page
Thanks.
Good price on this
Seagate Expansion Portable Drive, 4TB, Black
by Seagate
4.0 out of 5 stars 1 customer review
Price: $177.36
Deal Price: $129.99 Delivery at no additional cost for Prime Members
Shit. That Viva papertowel was a good buy.
Yeah i didnt pull the trigger on it , so im on that wait list thingy " 24 pack "
Anybody else finding that a lot of countdown timers on items have stopped counting down?
An item I was looking at just jumped from 14 min left to 51 min left, really buggy right now.
Has anyone had any expirence with the Fire TV Stick Basic Edition ? i currently just use the app on my Tvbox is there any other reason to get this ?
I use it for media centre, TV catchup streaming etc
It's not the fastest ever but works reliably
This is a non event so far…
Yeah, seriously underwhelmed at the moment.
So basically just like the initial launch then?
Yer a little bit underwhelmed
Don't get me wrong. I bought the Ps4 pro because i was in the market for one and that was a great price.
The rest is pretty meh.
It's almost like a Playstation sale more than an Amazon sale lol.
Amazon needed to chuck an Ebay Plus and get Dyson, Samsung on board like Ebay did. Or at least get some of the big brands on board. Looks like they only really got Sony.
I'm with you on that one, except perhaps for the monitor that was delivered this morning.
Going through their list of crap wasted a fair amount of my time. Not sure it was all worth it…
best deal seems to have been the paper towels
Countdown seems to be not working for some items…Dafuq Amazon?
Oh nevermind. Starts at, not in.
It looks like some of the countdown timers were wrong and they reset some of them, some are still frozen.
They should've gone with "Prime Time".
This is flatter than last night's Wimbledon final.
FOr people who miss out Ps4 Dualshock Controller - Blue (at 17:25 AEST) & Red (at 17:45 AEST) coming later in the day as well !!
Ye might hold out for the Blue, already have one controller coming in with the Ps4 Pro bundle purchased today.
So far this seems a bit underwhelming. I expected a lot more to be on offer.
So it the publicity this was described as being like the US Thanksgiving sales - failing to see that so far…
Has anyone's cash rewards purchases been tracked? I've made 3 separate buys & not had any CR emails
Can take up to 7 days afaik.
Out of the 7 separate orders I've made, none were tracked by Cashrewards. I had to lodge a claim for all of them.
Hue Starter Kit (3 globes and hub) for $139 … normally around $280
I wish they had computer parts deals
The Nintendo Switch has vanished. Wonder if they backed out, or are just having technical issues?
Edit: Looks like it's back again.
Still missing for me :/
Yeah looks like it's dropped off… Maybe they had a revised time for it or something
Nevermind it's back now for 5PM
It's back again for me now
its still missing for me, so fingers crossed it comes back
i cant see it :\
I thought prime delivery was 2 business days? I'm getting expected delivery 25th-30 July
2 business days after dispatched.
Depends on stock availability, but once dispatched it's generally pretty quick (occasionally even within one business day).
Whatever happened with the redirecting amazon.com and no longer allowing shipping from the US site? mine seems to still go there and shipping is still available?
Won't be fulfilled.
Blocked at checkout stage
Exclusive deals are now popping up here, Nintendo Switch is planned for 5PM. Playstation 4 controller at 1:55. Xbox One S 1TB at 3PM.
fifa 18 70% off or more. ~<$6
ps4 controller 50% off or more. ~<$35
Nintendo Switch 25% off or more!! Imagine if it was on the current price, would be <$300. But I think those sidebars are on the RRP, will wait and see lol
Where are you seeing this info? I followed your link but can't see the video games stuff
The deals seemed to keep going live and being removed for some reason.. At time of my comment that's the noticable deals I saw, they'll probably update again soon
Goodbye ebay! You had it good while it lasted
Keep in mind folk that you can filter on level of discount to eliminate all the crap, and there is a lot of crap…
This can also be used to estimate the level of discount for those items that are not yet live.
