      That's what people said about the PS2 and PS3, you're crazy if you're spending $7-800 on a new console on release. The PS4 will still be going strong years after the 5 is released.

      • ColstonAUS on 16/07/2019 - 14:21

        In my experience selling the older consoles for cash to buy the new one cuts about 200-300 off the price, and i don't think a console has been 800 on release since the ps3 lol

      You're dreaming if you think PS5 is coming out in 6 months. It's at minimum 16 months away (Holiday 2020).

        I think you're mixing watch and wish.

        There's no way I can figure to see Watched items on desktop, only on the app. Please prove me wrong though Im sick of having to use App just to track my Watched items.

        • mtarca83 on 16/07/2019 - 15:20

          I could only find it on my app too, glad I am not the only one!

    Got downvoted in the eBay thread yesterday about how lame prime day would be, not surprised at all. Amazon AU is 95% useless, compared to eBay.

    • Seedy seed on 15/07/2019 - 16:18

      Lol ive bought way more from amazon in a year then ebay in 4 so its subjective to what you need.

      • Rumbaar on 15/07/2019 - 17:31
        -2

        If you've not bought much from eBay over 4 years compared to Amazon, then you are buying some strange stuff from Amazon.

        I'm sure it's relative. But PRIME DAY is still crap.

          I bought coke. 40cents a can after rebate is pretty great. Um what have i bought…

          Aprox 12 xbox 1 games 4 ps4 games a controller a xbox 1 minecraft for $180 a ps4 pro for a gift aprox 180 kirks cans for my boss for work (catering function where we had to give drinks with food) coke for home and work 30kg cooking choc for like $37 nestle brand 3x6 pack cantong green thai curry sauce and a (profanity) load more including new taps/shower head and bathroom towel rail set.

          Oh and like 26 bags of mega blocks 80 packs when they were 2 for $10 spend 79 get $20 off. So 6 bags was costing $10 lol, gave some to friends some to locoal school prep class nd opened 1000 blocks worth for neice to build a castle lol.

          Point is i got my moneys worth.

            @Seedy seed: ha, 40c Coke … that's a regular Coles deal. Kirks, like BigW has slabs of that for $4.99 and pallets at a time. Mega block .. AliExpress level of deals. But I'm glad you've gotten your money's worth.

            Non of which negates my comment that Amazon Prime day is all hype no substance.

    Well this has been a prime disappointment, what a waste of a day thought they would drop some hot deals but no

    Man prime day has been severely underwhelming. I've got through Amazon sales PS4 Pro for $369 When Amazon launched and Xbox One S Minecraft for $179. 3DS XL's for $99 and 2DS XL Pokeball edition for $79.

    Seems like they didn't have any good sales this year when Prime day is meant to be their biggest sales day of the year?

        I did order one yesterday. Delivered today. It is NOT in a sealed pack, unlike the ones that I have bought previously. Does anyone know if this can be verified ?

        • DuckKnight on 17/07/2019 - 21:25

          The one I ordered is sealed in plastic but most of my switch games from amazon aren't. There's no way to tell from my knowledge.

        You know Chemist Warehouse often have 50% off on those nappies, so the PRIME deal wasn't even that good.

    • Rumbaar on 15/07/2019 - 20:43

      Yeah, if you want JANK items. This is meh at best. If you want a good deal on anything electronic, you'll get a USB drive …

    • azshade on 15/07/2019 - 22:50

      Just bought a graphic novel for like $20 off and earlier 36 coke cans for $18. A mate got that soniq 55" 4k tv for $350.

      I mean sure, maybe not a lot of great deals, but I'm happy.

      Nope. Seems like they won't apply discounts for Parcel Locker or Amazon Locker addresses.

      Extremely. I thought they'd be going all out this time, especially if they want to start overtaking eBay sales. Starting to wonder if i'll bother to renew my Prime membership now.

    • beyondtool on 16/07/2019 - 19:28

      I’m looking and looking, but eBay is having a 20% off sale and is cheaper so this Prime day gets a big meh from me.

  • Marblz on 16/07/2019 - 09:00

    I had some specific items I wanted to get this prime. Protein powder (just ran out), some headphones for work and a new high fps monitor since my last one died.

    Have purchased 2 of the three (there have been marginally better deals for these in the past, but timing is important as well), so I'm pretty happy haha

  • tellhimhesdreaming on 16/07/2019 - 09:26

    Thought I'd fire up my Prime trial for this event but only bought two things - both on behalf of work. Good for my wallet, but not what I was hoping!

  • mini2 on 16/07/2019 - 09:45

    There's a Dyson V11 Absolute at 11am, I wonder if it's going to be cheaper than eBay's recent offer.

    Nah even I’m on the “Prime Day is a let down” team. I like how Rocco was talking up the sales they’d have said they’d have Le Creuset stuff then today yeah it’s there just some Casserole Dishes…? Just junk today, the pittance they let us buy from US is junk. While yeah has been some cheap crap there’s been nothing standing out.

  • wolfazrael123 on 16/07/2019 - 10:14

    I was waiting for a decent deal for nintendo switch, still no deal on this.

    PS4 is a good alternative for me. PS4 pro deal was good, but I missed that 4 minutes window for $330, and apparently I don't want to pay one dollar more than that this time.

    Sony wh-1000xm3 was quite attractive but I wanted silver color rather than black.

    Bose QC35 is good too but discount is not as good as Sony.

    Instant noodle was not too bad but limit to one for each flavor, and only 4 flavors. I don't bother to place an order for just less than 3 dollars.

    The only good thing for this event up to now is that I have wasted a lot of time browsing deals and I registered Amazon prime for a free trial. It is ok for watching some movies with my new TV.

  • Ashurei on 16/07/2019 - 11:00

        • mapax on 16/07/2019 - 11:37

          I suspect I will be wasting that credit. It shouldn't be hard to find something useful for ~$20 but dang am I struggling.

        • ATangk on 16/07/2019 - 12:40

          If this is the $10 credit requiring $49 min spend, just get coca cola x 2 and maybe some kirks or mt franklin. 7% cashback on groceries and these things are inevitably consumed at parties/events.

        It was in stock on second day of sale.

        To insult the customer service representative offer me $10 instead of usually $5 voucher, I said her to donate it.

        • BugsBunnyAUS on 17/07/2019 - 16:14

    Agree that its been a pretty disappointing sale.

    Got a few household items and used up the Prime Video credit but last year had better deals. Comparing this to the eBay Plus sale, I think Amazon really missed the mark. I got a few of those $1 bargains (sodastream, electric toothbrush & portable charger) and was raving about it to everyone for a fortnight. Wasn't even things I essentially needed but just the craziness was worth talking about.

    There hasn't been much to be overly excited about by comparison.

  • FallaM on 16/07/2019 - 14:09

    Amazon had a huge opportunity here by taking advantage of the huge tax returns people got, but instead they delivered pure trash today. Once again I'll say it, but I, and multiple other friends (and users here, apparently) were very ready to finally pull the trigger on buying the OG Nintendo Switch today and it never happened. What a colossal failure by Amazon AU.

    • raspudala on 16/07/2019 - 14:15

      Count me in, was ready to buy OG Switch plus 3 games. Back to PS4 for me :)

      The Switch was literally all I signed up to prime for. Now I'm spending the rest of ~prime day~ sadly refreshing the Switch page every once in a while. I expect to go through the rest of the five stages of grief once midnight hits.

      Mate couldn't have put it better myself, I am armed with tax return money, they did not show up. They spent more on marketing the event than actually delivering the savings to customers.

      e.g. Sydney CBD, they painted an entire public wall and had hipsters handing out leaflets.

    As an Amazon fanboy, have to say, deals have been mediocre. They spent more on marketing this year than delivering on the goods. I saw so many Amazon hipster wannabe employees walking around the CBD in Sydney hyping it up, they even painted a mural for the event. Such a shi't show.

  • Fredbass on 16/07/2019 - 18:20

    Well, they still have 6 hours to deliver, but I guess costumers already lost hope and left…
    Not a single deal that we hadn't seen cheaper before. Way to go Amazon! What a BS sale.
    At least match last years' price on a year older technology.
    Party time for other retailers. They probably see now Amazon won't be the threat once feared.

  • amazonaddict on 16/07/2019 - 18:26

    I was looking for Lifx A60 to go an a sale. Hmmm..

  • lovethewine on 16/07/2019 - 18:53

    toilet paper, instant noodle, those boring items that you can get from coles at promotional half price sale.
    why amazon is trying so hard to fail?
    doesn't appear like bargain to me (except a CK shirt, which I paid $27 for it), but just an event and an opportunity for amazon to dumb some unpopular stocks

    • CyberMurning on 16/07/2019 - 18:59

      Yeah I'm a tech gadget person but what I get so far is air fryer.

      • lovethewine on 16/07/2019 - 21:39

        I bought some incense to burn and a GPU card- Asus GTX1650. Both got nothing to do with Prime Day, just expedited shipping from Amazon USA.
        I am quite a tech guy as well, but Windows 10 took all the fun out of building pcs.

  • Zoosh on 16/07/2019 - 19:14

    If I can get an Amazon Prime 6 mo th membership through here (using edu.au address) then can I use that as an Amazon AU prime member?

    https://www.amazon.com/joinstudent

    (Need to put in card details and don't want to add them if I get an upfront charge for something I can't use)

  • deelaroo on 16/07/2019 - 19:24

    Had stuff ordereded yesterday (1st day of Prime Day) arrive in country Vic this morning. So at least the Amazon warehouse staff and Australia Post on their game.

  • FiDad on 16/07/2019 - 19:53

    So I guess now we can safely say that the best deals on prime day sale have been from Ebay. I am actually a big fan of Amazon but this prime day sale has been quite lame
