Amazon dropped $10 off their usual price for the switch pro controller.

Not the cheapest price ever but can be combined with the $10 promo from the previous deal to bring it down to $69. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/508465

Remember to try cashback as well.

Edit: no idea when this will end. Placed 31st of jan for the time being.

    Any good deals on joy cons?

    • Cheapotle on 13/01/2020 - 23:35

      I managed to get jbhifi to match $94 on the Dick Smith website for a blue and yellow neon joycon set. Not really a deal in OzB terms though.

      • jv on 14/01/2020 - 00:15

        I haven't seen any in stock at JBhifi for weeks now.

        • Cheapotle on 14/01/2020 - 00:21

          Mine was at Jbhifi at Melbourne Central. Seems to be lots of stock at multiple stores, although there was fewer available when I picked up mine.

          • jv on 14/01/2020 - 00:22

            @Cheapotle: Doncaster didn't have any the last couple of times i dropped by.

            Neither did a few Target stores I went to.

            • Cheapotle on 14/01/2020 - 23:38

              @jv: Check availability before you go in on the product webpage: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/nintendo-switch-joy-con-c…

              Looks available to me at Doncaster in blue and yellow, didn't try other colours.

              • jv on 14/01/2020 - 23:58

                @Cheapotle: Thanks…

                They're $104 on Amazon…

                Now to decide… extra Joy cons or Pro Controller….

                  @jv: Yeah… I took the plunge for the joy cons for portability, and to play 4 player with some friends, without spending 2x för the pro controller. And hoping not to get any "drift" in my joy cons. 🤞

                  Good luck with your decision! 😃

    8bitdo SN30 Pro Plus is superior unless you must have the asymmetrical sticks.

      Personally I prefer First Party Controllers over Third Party.

      But if I had to pick a Third Party, 8bitdo would be my first option.

      • The Value on 13/01/2020 - 23:02

        I do too but it's that good.

        Edit. Because the d-pad on the official Pro is awful.

        • RichardL on 13/01/2020 - 23:04

          I own the 8Bitdo SF30 Pro, and it my go-to when I'm playing NES/SNES Classics on the Nintendo Switch.

          Edit: 8bitdo also had similar issues on the D-Pad with earlier models of their controllers.

          • diamondd on 13/01/2020 - 23:05

            @RichardL: Been hanging for a good deal on one of those for ages…

            • RichardL on 13/01/2020 - 23:08

              @diamondd: Unfortunately the SF30 Pro were replaced by the SN30 Pro (I'm assuming due to infringing on Nintendo's trademarks).

              You'll still be able to find the SF30 Pro online, but they cost almost the same as a Pro Plus.

          • SlappersOnly on 14/01/2020 - 12:58

            @RichardL: Hmm. Didn’t even realise you could connect 8bitdo to the Switch. I should check out my old model n30 pro.

          I never had a problem with the D-pad for some reason. I managed to beat Hollow Knight 106% using the D-pad on the pro controller and never had any issues with it. Maybe I'm just used to it.

    • p1 ama on 14/01/2020 - 00:48

      8bitdo SN30 Pro Plus is superior unless you must have the asymmetrical sticks.

      I actually prefer the Pro controller, so I guess it's a matter of taste. Overall, I think the sticks feel better on the Pro controller. D-pad is definitely better on the 8bitdo, but I'll use an SN30/SF30 if I'm playing predominantly with the D-pad. The Pro controller also feels a bit more chunky and durable, but that might be subjective.

    • froddoog on 14/01/2020 - 18:37

      It’s currently on sale right now too, $53.
      I guess that’s a good price

      • [Deactivated] on 15/01/2020 - 21:06

        Was that at Amazon or somewhere else?

          At Catch dot com
          thats the sn30 pro plus

          • [Deactivated] on 15/01/2020 - 22:26

            @froddoog: Thanks.

  • Commander Shepard on 13/01/2020 - 23:39

    FYI. The Nintendo $10 credit requires prime membership. I had to resubscribe to get it.

    • CoenJC on 14/01/2020 - 08:14

      I couldnt see anywhere on the store page saying that this is applicable for the $10 Credit. Can you confirm if this is still eligible?

      • SlappersOnly on 14/01/2020 - 12:59

        If the $10 deal is still running then yes the pro controller is eligible.

      • Commander Shepard on 14/01/2020 - 20:11

        Yes it is eligible. But I had to renew my prime membership.

  • monty168 on 14/01/2020 - 09:08

    Does this work with Mario Party?

    • Porker on 14/01/2020 - 11:10

      Mario Party requires joycons. Can't say if this will/won't work with Mario Party (MP), but the types of games MP has has you throwing your hands around and swinging, plus fast movements. The game only requires one hand use, so this controller (even if it did connect) might a bit cumbersome for MP when compared to a single joycon.

    I wish they would bring out a white one (I've got the black). I had white and black controllers for the Wii U and it was nice.

  • Stonx on 14/01/2020 - 19:02

    Anyone tried to price match at JB?

    • jubified on 14/01/2020 - 22:35

      They're usually pretty good at price matching.

      • jv on 15/01/2020 - 11:38

        They won't price match the $10 promo…

        • jubified on 15/01/2020 - 13:39

          Yeah they won't. Only the $79 price.

          Good for people with cheap gc.
