  • Beat me to it haha

    • I had it completed and ready to submit. Why no one tagging "PS4"?

  • Slim like BIGW?

    • Yep :)

  • really hope they do ps4 controller again missed last one

  • BIGW eBay out of stock, so remember cashrewards 5% off.

  • +3

    Where are all the Xbox One x deals?

    • I’m hoping for one Boxung Day. Amazon flash sale for $399? 4 minutes only probably.

      • When is Boxung Day? :P

        • Damn

        • +1

          After Christmung day duhh :)

    • +1

      No good deals on Pro either. Was cheaper last December. Cost price has gone up on some high-performance components.

  • +1

    Amazon should've made it 258 for the lulz

  • I got one yesterday. Can I ask for $20 refund?

    • +1

      You may, they’re under no obligation to do so but I think they will if you ask nicely. Customer service is great.

    • I also bought one yesterday. Just went on the Amazon chat and they said it will be refunded by tomorrow. If they offer you a $20 promo ask for the cash refund

      • Is it a live chat? Or need to call them? Thanks

        • +1

          I just did live chat. Only took a few minutes

          • @Fraser187: They would not budge with me.. after asking from the $20 promo to be cash they replied "To be honest, the $20 promotions I'm giving you is going beyond my exception as you have been a valuable customer with Amazon."

            Oh well better than nothing!

            • @rza: I called and got $15 cash back to my credit card

        • It was a bit hard to find the chat but they just adjusted the price for me and since there was only an authorisation charge on my credit card, the new price of $259 will appear on my statement instead of $279. No refund or credit involved.
          I ordered yesterday afternoon.

      • Sweet! Will it mess the cashrewards?

      • How do you get the live chat in AU?

  • It these levels and considering cash back, you could almost consider this over a nvidia shield for streaming purposes.

    Also how much slower is the slim over the pro?

    • From memory pro has 2.2x GPU and 1.3x CPU power of Slim/regular.

  • +4

    Got one for $249, less $10 voucher applied from the last Amazon AU memory card fiasco.

    And CR of 5% brings it down to $236.55

    • well played bro :)

    • +2
      1. Cashrewards is only applied to non-GST component.
      2. Shopback is 6%
      • Is shopback also only to non-GST component?

        • No mention of GST on their website, but the one bit of pending casback shopback I have appears to have been ex-GST.
          Anyone else can confirm?

      • +1

        Let me get the computations right,

        Item subtotal $235.45 less $9.09 promotion (Amazon AU voucher) = $226.36 (before GST)

        No shipping fee as I am on Prime.

        5% CR is computed before GST price = $11.32

        Originally paid $249 - $11.32 (CR) = $237.68

        Still not bad at all. The Amazon AU voucher really came handy.

        • CR purchase i made yesterday seemed to be the price less the amazon voucher (just FYI)

        • Final price = item price ex-GST multiplied by discount, plus GST on original price
          = item price / 11 x 10 x (1 - discount in percent) + item price / 11

          Eg $1000 item with 5% chasback gives $954.54 (not $950 as most people assume).

  • Can I ask a noob question. Should i get this or the Pro? I have a 4k HDR TV, but is it really worth while getting the pro as opposed to the slim at this price?

    • +2

      Yep the Pro is awesome. Totally worth it if you have a decent 4K tv.

    • I have pro with a 1TB SSD, used to have regular ps4 (sold for pro), and just bought a slim (for 2nd room). Also have a high-spec PC in 3rd room.

      The answer really depends…

      At current prices (~$250 slim and ~$400 Pro) I'd go slim, unless you want the best and have the money (particularly relevant if u have a large 4k TV or are used to playing on a high-spec PC).
      Most people will be completely happy with slim.

      • Thanks Viper - I just spent alot of money on a high spec new TV - im not a huge gamer but I have alot of fear of missing out mental health issues (LOL). Just trying to determine if my experience will be a massive difference on a pro. Seeing that its only an upsize in res from 1080 to 1440

        • +2

          Seeing that its only an upsize in res from 1080 to 1440

          Some are native 4K, depends on the game.

        • +1

          Its not just the increase in resolution:
          Some games also have better visuals, longer draw-distances (single player) and more stable frame-rates. Key word being some. And of those that do, some the differences are minor, some major. Your mileage will vary depending on game basically.

          Some games also allow you to minimise the visual improvements and keep resolution at 1080p, but double the frame-rate target (e.g. from 30 FPS to 60 FPS). This is handy for fast-pace games e.g. 1st person shooters or racers.

          IMO you'll get the most out of a Pro playing the latest AAA single-player games.

          • +1

            @Viper8: Thanks viper , my decision is made I’ll wait for a pro deal after Xmas

            • @LongMemory82: If you have a 4k TV then it's not even a question. Save the extra cash until getting the pro doesn't hurt as much, just make sure it's the updated version that doesn't sound like a jet engine. IMO RDR2 looks way better on the Pro

              • @Hinee: Is 469 a good deal for the Pro?

                • @LongMemory82: Depends. It's good, but it goes lower. If you want one to play over the Christmas holidays it's probably a good investment, though if you can wait there's sure to be some specials in the next couple of weeks.

                • @LongMemory82: FYI: I got my Pro for $380ish (after selling the Fortnite code)

    • Get an Xbox if you want to play games at 4K.

      • +1

        Better hardware in the xbone x but pretty much all the good exclusives are on PS4, so I went with a PS Pro.

        • If you are going to play those exclusives.

          Xbox for me mainly because of the controller, as you need to have weird baby hands to use a PS controller :P

          • @Danstar: Yeah I bought mine on black Friday, got god of war, all 3 uncharted releases for ps4, ratchet n clank, wipeout, horizon and a few others.

            Was tempted to get a Xbone X for red dead 2 but couldn't justify it for the benefit to that one game when most of the other games I wanted a console for are on PS4. Most cross platform games I'd prefer to get on PC.

            I do prefer the Xbox controllers over PS4, but much prefer the PS4 OS over xbox.

    • Freak! I just bought the slim, GoW and a controller. It didn't reduce the price at checkout. Can I still contact customer support to get the refund?

      • +1

        Just hop onto Live Chat and ask them about it.

        Doesn't appear that the Dualshock 4 is part of the "select accessories".

  • +3

    Come on CR…. put the amazon discount back up to 10% and you have a deal :)

  • Will this be cheaper in Boxing Day?

  • +1

    1TB Spider-Man Limited Edition is also $349 now, matching Target.

  • is this hack-able?

  • -2

    I don’t need this…

  • Such an ugly colour combination

    • better than boring dark sad black?

      • Once you go black you can't go back. Also white is better and what I've got :)

        • orange or red is the new black.

  • The Spiderman console doesn't come with the game?

    • +1

      It includes the game.

      • Oh right, the picture doesn't show it, but it's in the description; "This Limited Edition Marvel’s Spider-Man PS4 bundle includes a fully customized Amazing Red PS4 1TB console featuring the Spider icon, DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller, Marvel’s Spider-Man game, and digital content." Any idea what the digital content is?

        • +1

          Includes bonus digital content: The City that Never Sleeps post-launch story chapters

  • Xbox one s 1tb with three games(Fortnite, GOW4 and download token) @ $279 or PS4 500GB @ $259?

  • Got the spiderman one. First time using shopback, the offer wasn't on their website (the 500gb for $259 was), does that mean it won't work? Not too fussed since it's only $20 or so, but better than nothing.

  • Does anyone reckon the spider-man edition will go cheaper in boxing day?

    • Unlikely… More likely to go up in price if Target remove it from their site if they completely sell out

      • And it seems it is already sold out at Amazon as well

  • Deal is live again

    • Thanks!

  • Just bought one from Amazon @ $259 with Cashrewards 5% off. Thanks OP!

    Been sitting on the fence for a while as I was contemplating a Gaming PC, but it's hard to argue with the pricing.

  • 500gb is again out of stock
