Hi guys,

Latest Sam's Warehouse catalogue for this week STARTS THURSDAY 4TH AUGUST UNTIL 10TH AUGUST 2011 has some great cheapo buys in it. Can't imagine the quality is great, so don't go using them as your primary entertainment units but if you're after some 'extra' units for bedrooms/downstairs/car entertainment areas then this could be one for you.

On a personal note, I bought a Highlander DVD player 7 yrs ago from them and it's still going strong - makes some weird noises when I turn it on but hey it goes good. Beat the hell out of my Sony one which lasted 3 yrs.

Anyway here are some of the buys along with T&C's

STANDARD DEFINITION SET TOP BOX - $10
1400W VACUUM CLEANER - $10
JNC 5.1 CHANNEL DVD PLAYER - $19
NOOSA 5 CHEST DRAWER - $39
EVA TV ENTERTAINMENT UNIT - $39
BUFFET UNIT 5 COMPARTMENTS - $49
NOOSA QUEEN BED WITH DRAWERS - $79 - Awesome buy if u need a bed
HIGHLANDER 7 INCH DUAL SCREEN PORTABLE DVD PLAYER - $49
7 INCH NETBOOK COMPUTER - $49 - Great intro system for kids or simply as a backup to your main computer system. Looks like it is running XP on the catalogue.
COBOLT E BOOK READER 7 INCH - $49
SEIKI BLU RAY PLAYER - $49

KODAK EXTRA HEAVY DUTY BATTERIES 4 PACK - $1
CORAL FLEECE THRO RUGS 125 * 150 - $4

1000'S OF LINES BELOW COST PRICE 50 - 85% OFF

MOD EDIT GOLO SAMS CRAZYCLARKS CHICKENFEED are all the same chain, so variations in stock but essentially the same, maybe small variations by state.

        The netbook was an old catalogue bargain a fair while back (I thought it was posted here, but couldn't find it). Anyway, got specs from: http://www.topbargains.com.au/catalogues/netbook-computer-19…

        As for the Blu Ray, not bad considering it can play MKV files, as well as be multi-region DVD and Blu Ray compatible, so fellow OzBargainers can watch their Harry Potter collection from the UK (or the possibility of their 'phantom' action box set from The Hut/Zavvi) :)

    • aldog on 02/08/2011 - 12:37

      Specs in more detail:
      7" (17.18cm). L21 x W14cm x H33mm, 800 x 480 pixels, 16:9 display, 2GB HDD, 4GB SD RAM, 512MB memory, 64MB memory capacity, 802.11a/b/g, 2000 mAh battery AC/DC Power adaptor. NT-7002.

      • CVonC on 02/08/2011 - 16:09

        4GB SD RAM?

        • ryang on 02/08/2011 - 16:47

          I'd suggest it has 2GB onboard flash for the OS, etc, and a 4GB SD card.. Very poor descriptions all round - no fault of the posters though.

  • davodavo on 02/08/2011 - 07:40

    Thanks aldog, very good value.

  • swimmingtoad on 02/08/2011 - 07:49

    • WillKillfor5Cents on 02/08/2011 - 09:43

      Does this mean it plays all regions ? Also do we have to worry if it only can switch region for certain amount of times like DVD player in the past ? Sorry I'm quite lost when it come to this kind of stuff lol

  • crikey123 on 02/08/2011 - 07:58

    Awesome stuff aldog thanks for the specs and info I might buy a couple of those netbooks and a couple of those blu ray players for early Christmas gifts.

    Might even buy a netbook for myself now that I like those specs :)

      Catalogue was in my mailbox - so no link yet. Check the link I posted on thursday once the catalogue starts. This is a heads up a few days in advance just so you know it's coming. Check your mailbox today or tomorrow it may be there if you get Sam's Warehouse catalogues delivered.

        Thanks crikey123.

  • kiwipride on 02/08/2011 - 08:32

    I have a 720p Plasma. Would there be any benefit to having a Blu ray player?

    • diddy50 on 02/08/2011 - 08:51

      yes!!
      DVD are 480p so you will see a huge improvement
      you could also play HD files of usb if you want…
      This seems ok, it is budget cheap basic crappy etc. but $50 if you like it
      down grade this to spare room tv and get yourself a better one later

      • kiwipride on 02/08/2011 - 09:08

        I normally watch 720p mkv files thru my Boxee Box. Don't even have a DVD player for that reason.

      • kiwipride on 02/08/2011 - 09:15

        Wondering if blu ray would look better than downloaded bd rips.

        • ccrap on 02/08/2011 - 11:25

          not if the bd rips are in 1080p, as that is the resolution blu ray discs are. However there probably will be some minor artifacts in the bd rips depending on the compression/ripping methods used.

        • A Banana4scale on 02/08/2011 - 11:26

          depends on the mkv compression size, normally any movie(except LOTR) with size above 12-15GB would provide the same quality as the BD, otherwise I'll go Bluray disk

    • Reddog888 on 02/08/2011 - 09:09

        • rack on 02/08/2011 - 09:21

          do you know if the dvd player plugs to your cars player or does it have a built in player in itself.

          Unsure of exact model, but here's some more info/pics for it:

        • rack on 02/08/2011 - 10:01

          fouund my asnwer. It has it's own dvd player built in. Very handy.

        • A Banana4scale on 02/08/2011 - 15:52

          this looks good. Specs from below says this also has USB support so might even support xvids or even MKV. Does anyone know if this runs off a battery or do we have to keep it plugged in all the time.

          Only thing is DC adaptor not included

        • TScott on 06/08/2011 - 19:17
          +1

          @spawnpoint: I haven't tried it with MKV, but it loads a 1gb AVI. movie off a usb in <10seconds. It does not contain a rechargeable battery, so it does need to be connected with the dc power adaptor during use. That being said, it has both 'last memmory' functions for sd, usb and DVD movies. So you can resume where u left off, simply by reinserting the media. =) The DC adaptor is included.

    Hmm, the netbook is so cheap, maybe I should get one.
    Just wondering if it would run another OS that's not Windows CE properly?
    And any information of the specs?
    As a poor student, this is the cheapest laptop I've seen and it should increase my productivity at uni ;)

    • ryang on 02/08/2011 - 10:56

      Most likely running an ARM processor, at very low speeds (around 400MHz). You could potentially get a version of Linux running on it, or maybe even Android at a stretch. But it would be far from an easy option…

      Also, be aware that there is no mention of RAM in this system, it would also be very low - around 256MB.

        Yep… You'll find most Android smart phones have better specs than this netbook! =D

        • someguy102 on 02/08/2011 - 11:15

          Thanks for the advice guys! Sounds like something I should avoid, from the sound of it, even my phone's got a bit more grunt than this.

          Time to wait for a cheap netbook deal to come around.

        • Windows7forever on 02/08/2011 - 20:40
          +1

          In 2011 this netbook is looking just a wee bit underpowered. $50 is such a fantastic price for such a mini piece of computing technology but the specs leave a little to be desired.

          Even most websites are evolving and becoming more flash-based and graphical which this little bugger will struggle to load. Can't think of many real uses for it. It wouldn't even run Dosbox or SNES emulation properly, the CPU doesn't have enough speed.

      • Windows7forever on 02/08/2011 - 20:43
        +1

        This thing is better than my computer from y2000 which was only 233mhz and 64mb but I don't imagine it can do much modern stuff, unless you find really old games and apps.

  • cmcv on 02/08/2011 - 10:47

    Any one played Multi region blu ray or dvd on the dvd player & read it had problems with avi, anyone get this working. If so this a gr8 cheap version. Also does divx work on it.

      ebay item here has it for $75

    • Windows7forever on 02/08/2011 - 20:49

      I'm wondering what is a better spend of $50 - a seriously underpowered lite-speed netbook with circa 2005 specs, a cheap & nasty BR player, or a boring text reader?
      Ok, I'm being harsh and facetious, they are actually good bargains if that is what you want and I will have a look in-store on Thursday because I'm curious.

      • A Banana4scale on 02/08/2011 - 22:00

        I'll be getting the car DVD player for $50, if only to use it to view my photos on a bigger screen and allow everyone in the car to listen to their own music.

        The DVD functionality is an added bonus.

      • ccrap on 03/08/2011 - 03:29

        wolfie, if you dont have kids go the BR player - definitely the cheapest I have seen for one that does multi region blu ray. I mean sure you might fall asleep waiting for the disc to load but at least it will load, and for all you know it might actually be quick and decent, im just guessing

  • Prav on 02/08/2011 - 11:52

    For the netbook, I checked on eBay to see if there were any cheaper/better ones second hand or something.
    I searched "7" netbook" and the cheapest is a $30 one by a schmuck with 0 feedback, the one after that is an $80 one which looks very similar to the one in the catalog here.
    The stats match up aswell, must be the same model.

    I'd recommend having a look at the page, they make it seem pretty nice.
    Aswell as the extra details.
    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/7-Mini-Netbook-Notebook-Laptop-WI…
    Looks alot better than I thought it would.
    Only part that bothers me is the limited functionality of the usb ports though, no external HDDs allowed.

      This not so good:

    We picked up this seiki blu ray/dvd player a few months ago at walmart for $88.00. My husband was a bit unsure of it because A- the price was so cheap that it could be garbage and B- because we have never heard of the brand name before. I could care less when it comes to branding.. so we picked it up anyways if it was garbage walmart has a great return policy. So the 1st one we brought home tried it a few times, but it would hardly load up on the blu ray part.. it took forever. So after reading some reviews and convincing my husband to exchange it for another one and see we did. I am so glad that we did, because it is a really great device.
    It plays dvd's, blu rays, MP3's, views images or you can upload a movie from the computer onto a USB flash stick and put it into the slot in the back of the player. For $88.00 this to me was a steal! Saves me money in the long run with out having to waste my DVD disks to burn movies, which I use for my photography… and time burning the movie. When uploading the movie onto the stick it is done in no time flat.I would give this a 10/10 since the exchange we have not had ANY problems with this product… and we watch lots of movies on it.

      Pretty dodgy, they said the brochure states that some stores may have many, some may not. But for the headline bargains to not be stocked at all? I figured something like this would happen so I didn't even check it out until 1pm. I grabbed something else in store, though I wanted the Blu-ray player (I guess the bait and switch worked).

  • tatasauce on 04/08/2011 - 11:59
