Don't forget CashRewards ($350) or ShopBack ($342) for further discount!
Add both into cart, and discount of $60 (Mario Kart 8) will be shown in cart.
Did you go all the way into your cart?
Click "Proceed to Checkout".
Ah I see it, you have to go all the way to review your order to see the discount, thanks!
@songaz, how did you manage to get the total of 389, on my account i still see it 460 plus.
@msagar: Figured it out, you have to select the $60 amazon version of mario kart for the deal to work :)
@Grapplingwithfire: @grapplingwithfire, same here. figured it out later while i was playing around with the price. i was lucky enough to secure one though :)
While it's probably not a terrible price it's available right now at JB Hifi for the same price - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/418709
Just to point out, JB doesn't have cashback, although JB does have gift cards. Also, JB's one is digital download, some likes it physical.
I, too, like it physical.
plus you can sell the physical.
I generally prefer physical, but for a game like Mario Kart that I want to have on hand for random multiplayer sessions, and am unlikely to get rid of, I would go the digital copy personally.
(Having said that, I have physical, because it was cheaper when I bought it!)
^he doesn't get it
@tightm8: I don't get what, exactly?
(FYI, I was reponsding to TeesAndSuchAustralia not silverrat23. I was in the process of writing my comment when silverrat posted!)
JB ran out of the 5000 MK codes they had, they aren’t doing codes nationwide.
The switch console (by itself) listing on their website is taken down entirely now.
They ran out by 10am this morning. Crazy.
It was $329 before on amazon
Yes, but not with the free Mario Kart 8.
Err 389-329=60
It's not free.
Good point. I should say that the Lightning Deal for Nintendo Switch is now extended then.
I thought you were an error code for a second there…
i'd prefer the 329 with 12.5%.. so sad i missed that..
estore sales and i prefer digital copies etc so it would have been better deal for me.
MK8 not super keen on, would have been way better if amazon gave a choice of game.
Well you'd get the 12.5% back on the Mario Kart. So that is ~$54-$55 for the game? Could probably sell this copy for $60 somewhere? Profit!
Yes, but not with the "free" Mario Kart 8.
FTFY
Thanks @TeesAndSuchAustralia! I ordered the lightning deal this morning for the same price - without the game. I just cancelled that order and grabbed this instead.
Lightning deal would have been $329
The game is $60
So therefore you could have just purchased the game as an extra
how can you cancel the order? I'm trying to do the same
Just buy the game for $60
I had to call. Found it deep in the support pages somewhere. You enter your number and they call you.
If it's the model that is not hackable for emulators and homebrew its not worth buying. Rumour is an upgraded version with better specs will come out next year anyway so you would be buying the worst of the switches.
By now I'm pretty sure they're all patched, unless you get a special edition.
i read the early models cant be patch the hole will always there. its permanent
Yep, the Tegra RCM vulnerability is in the hardware.
We can upgrade as much as we like and still be able to run homebrew*
But all the newly sold switches will be hardware-patched, unless you get something like this:
https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/nintendo-switch-super-mario-o…
(If I didn't own a switch, I'd pay $550 for this, rather than whatever is in the deal here)
NOTE Don't upgrade to 6.20, apparently they've disabled backup up your games somehow.
People can vote me down if they don't care for emulation but its correct. The modifiable version will also hold value better and do a lot more than any other switch.
Can I order multiples… say 5 or 6 and all eligible for the game bonus? I can't see any limits or t&c that says only one.. but was curious if anyone else has tried…
EDIT: nevermind.. "T&C 3.Offer is redeemable once per customer"…
Cheers OP atlast pulled the trigger. :)
Missed out the morning one.
damn, should have held my nerve - pulled the trigger on the eBay deal yesterday.
Contact ebay for price beat guarantee, you should get a $26 voucher at least :)
Not anymore since the switch isn't $329
Good point, I guess if there is any other deal that is cheap it could be used.
Tried to get Harvey Norman to price match but no dice :(
Just ordered……thanks O.P.
JB deal not available right now as they have apparently run out of download codes, so this Amazon deal is the best going.
i added both the console and game to my cart, event went all the way to checkout, i haven't paid yet but beside that every step is done but still my total is $464 not $389.
I have gone through the process twice to see if i missed any thing but no luck.
A little help here please :)
Did you add the Amazon Au supplied version of Mario Kart? The default choice is another seller and you won't get the discount - you have to select the $60 Amazon Au one.
Go it for $389 plus did the Cashback! What a great deal. Christmas is sorted for the kids! Plus it’s the cart version… I kinda like that
thanks op just got one. waiting for the transaction to pop up in cashrewards. probably did something wrong anyway
finally pulled the trigger. happy camper with shopback cashback :)
Does the transaction in shopback show up instantly? I made the purchase earlier and still nothing has shown up in my shopback account.
if you did all the steps correctly should take 48 hrs for the site to track any purchases. I did the steps but havent gotten cashback yet so waiting for now:)
Have you guys got your cashback yet? I haven’t seen mine come through.
Refunded my click & collect purchase at JB after being told they couldn't do the code for Mario Kart to get this one instead.
How much did everyone get charged? I got charged 337?
How?
I have no idea, only reasoning I can think of is Mario Kart is out of stock from Amazon and I will be charged later when Mario is back
Itsa me, Mario….
I think this is for console only. If you press the tracking of Mario Kart, it should say that it is yet to dispatch. When it does, Amazon will charge you for the remaining amount.
Thanks OP :)
Thanks! I also have amex spend $100 and get $15 deal
I'm glad to be of service! :D
Thanks OP!
Thanks OP - got it with cashrewars and AMEX offer, worked out to be around $340-ish.
Very happy with the price since it includes MarioKart 8.
Cheers.
Can't find the $60 Mario Kart 8. Is it still available?
Looks like lowest is $64 now - i ordered separately just about 1.5 hours ago and I was able to select $60 to be fulfilled by Amazon
https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/offer-listing/B076P3GRGM/ref=dp…
What does it mean?
Do I choose the $64 (seller MERISS.LLC) or $68 (seller amazon)?
I think the deal is gone.
I managed to put in another separate order for the $60 game + the controllers $94. However the game is on backorder to be delivered 05-Dec-2018 whereas the console coming on Tues and controller on Wed.
Console bought via ligntning deal using Shopback but it is not showing up in my account as tracked yet - whereas I purchased the Game and controller via cashrewrads last night and both appeared in my Cashrewards.
Thanks and I have pulled the trigger after years!
My package just arrived - ordered on Saturday afternoon. Good job Amazon!
This was my first chashrewards purchase and I think I stuffed it up, as it’s still not showing up as tracked in my account. Does anyone know what would happen if I returned the console? To have a second chance at the cash back? Would the cost of the game be charged to my account?
I added both the console and the game into my cart but the discount didn't show up. Am I missing a step?
