I found this code on one of those random coupon code sites when I was ordering an Xbox One X Elite controller and the code worked, which makes it the cheapest xbox one elite controller in Australia even after delivery fee. I don't know where this code came from or how long it will work for. But I thought I ought to share it.

  You must spend $150.00 to avail this promo code. Promo code is not valid for gift cards and e-vouchers.

    I don't think so because I found it on www.couponcodekey.com and when I google the code it comes up on multiple coupon code sites. But it does look like a random single use code, rather than a site wide promotion. But how could couponcodekey.com and the other sites generate a working single use discount code for Sanity?

      I don't think so

      I just tried it. It says min spend is $150.

        Oh, thanks for trying it. I guess because the xbox controller is $199.95 that I didn't even see that message. I've updated the title. This makes the code a lot less useful.

  Damn, they only have V1 of the Xbox Elite controller (which is still an amazing controller, but not a great price - i paid $140 or thereabouts i think)

    teacherer on 04/04/2019 - 23:18

    So his deal was a version 1 for $180? Goodness

  • 

    AustriaBargain on 04/04/2019 - 23:33

    There is only one version of the elite controller, the new one is the same just white. The rumours of usb c and three point hair triggers were unfounded. Or maybe saving it for the Xbox Two.

    Also it doesn’t have Bluetooth, but I have the wireless adaptor anyway. I know the new one will. But when does it come out, 10 months from now? Tomorrow? I don’t want to wait another year using pleb controller. And they just released the white one, why would they release v2 when they just released a new v1.

      Yep, was disappointing they didn't at least include bluetooth in the new one. The new one has improved construction and adhesive for the rubber grips on either side (many users reported these came loose, although this hasn't affected mine). I guess I was just thinking why pay $180 for the old black one when it's been cheaper previously, and when you can also pick up the new white one for $180-200.

      But you're absolutely right - it doesn't matter which of the two controllers you buy, they are both the best game controller you will ever hold. (Until 2020 or so)

    Also do you have a link for the $140 one? I can still cancel and buy from there instead. I didn't look at overseas, I thunk for this one I will want a national retail and manufacturer warranty.

      mingofmongo on 05/04/2019 - 07:39

      Here is the link I bought from, but it was nearly two years ago. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/328043 If It looks like it was sold for $140-$150 several times at around that time through MightyApe, JB Hifi, or Microsoft itself. But hasn't been on sale much of late - I think the cheapest was JB Hifi with 10% off a few weeks ago, making it $180.

        I actually won one of these controllers through a MS Facebook competition when they were new, and sold it for $250. A girl bought it, she had come straight from a shift at hungry jacks, wanted it for her boyfriends Christmas present. I couldn’t keep it while it was worth more than retail.

  Ooh Sanity. There's a brand I haven't seen in a long time. Do they still have stores?

  I remember the days when I went there to buy singles.. on CD. A single would cost about $8, sometimes even more. A full CD would cost upwards of $30. I would play them on my desktop CD-ROM. I think I still have some of them.

  I saved up my lunch money for weeks to afford music and games. I went hungry at school without my parents knowing. I think they suspected it though because they knew I bought games and there's no other way I could have afforded them. But they couldn't stop me.

  Good times.

    It was a pirate's life for me. Sanity always charged close to retail for everything, it always seemed to me like somewhere rich people shop. Or people with jobs. The cost of CDs seemed bonkers to me then and today.

      Dating myself, but when I was a kid, pirating music was hard until I was almost an adult. If you wanted to pirate a CD, you would record it onto a blank cassette tape. I didn't have a cassette tape player nor did I want to go that route. MP3 became a thing in late 90s and that was dial up internet, with small HDDs. Downloading a song would take at least half an hour and you had to hope you weren't disconnected before it finished. And of course I just sat at my computer watching that progress bar in anticipation because I had nothing else to do. Backing up your collection was also difficult. My options were basically 1.44MB floppy. A song would be around 4MB. There were no USB sticks or even USB. No portable HDD. And CD burner was expensive. I didn't have one.

      Pirating CD based games was practically impossible. Burners were too expensive.

      Everything's easier and better now. But I do have fond memories of those days that I don't have today. Not sure why that is.

        I think since everything is so readily available you don't really value it anymore. Like it takes milliseconds to find some of the most obscure tracks on Spotify that you would have had to have waited 3 weeks to order from a music shop back in the 90's.

        Sanity was for the mainstreamers, personally I liked shopping at all the punk record shops that posted up ads looking for band members.

          @HugoHugo: To a degree. Nothing annoys me more with modern gaming compared to pre-internet generation is sticking in a new game you just got and waiting 8 hours for 20GB of updates to download… I generally now put the disc in the night before I play it. Same with buying digital, all you do is miss the initial load from disc, still have huge downloads… I keep thinking "I remember when I would put the disc/cartridge in and just load the game"

            @Mobe1969: Quality control is non existent it seems, your game will be ready to play in a year after it’s all patched…

  Some really good prices on some upcoming UHDs there, especially with that discount, and multibuys. Eg the three Captain America UHDs ($22.49 with discount), Black Hawk Down UHD ($18 with discount), Alien UHD ($18 with discount), Godzilla UHD ($18 with discount), Karate Kid UHD($18 with discount).

  Of course you have to pay shipping on top of that.
