Bought Wii Console - Black + Mario Kart & Wheel from local Harvey Norman for $138. It is $188 at all other stores (Good Guys, Dick Smith, Target & Big W).
HN had Wii console with Sports bundled for $136 on display. When enquired they said the current stock does not come with the new motionplus remote but they have motionplus remote with Mario Kart & Wheel bundle which will cost me 2 dollars more. This deal is not there on their website. I have uploaded my receipt.

        Wasn't the Wii $399 at release?

        • Daniel15 on 10/09/2011 - 20:22

          It could have been, but it didn't include Mario Kart, which would add to the price. My mum bought a Wii relatively close to when they were released and it only came with Wii Sports.

        • Slide To Unlock on 10/09/2011 - 21:11

          i got a combo with mariokart and an extra wheel

        • nubzy on 10/09/2011 - 21:43

          yeah, we paid $399 the first christmas it came out :(

          sad to see it drop in price so quickly, it doesn't even feel as though it came out that long ago. Time flys!

  • ozshaz on 10/09/2011 - 20:21

    its a good deal but i am afraid that we cant get it in any other hn coz it depends upon hn franchisee to match it as its nt a published deal..but its worth trying..its a good one ..

  • ryantan1121 on 10/09/2011 - 20:27

    Mod: Note that link above may be a scam. Please read comments below.

    • nubzy on 10/09/2011 - 22:00

      god damn, so cheap. I thought only the 120gb got dropped to $299.

      I had a guy offer me $250 for my used 40gb fat PS3 today maybe I should take that.

      • ryantan1121 on 10/09/2011 - 22:33

        hold on first. i can't pay for the item yet.

        • monggoking on 10/09/2011 - 22:38

          Honestly, i think this is fraud.

          320GB+console+2wireless control+shipping to australia=$276. Seems like impossible.

          Will keep here updated though.

    • cyssero on 10/09/2011 - 22:47

      Be warned:
      1. Item location: Celle, Germany
      2. Hasn't received feedback as a seller since 19-Sep-07
      3. Suddenly has 10 Australian PS3s to sell
      4. Will you get an invoice? Will warranty be a problem? What if it's DOA and you need to return it to Germany - if you even get it
      5. eBay + too good to be true ..

      • ryantan1121 on 10/09/2011 - 22:57
        +3

        yeah. True. Attention to all buyer,

        1. Please don't pay using bank transfer as there is no protection.
        2. I contacted Ebay support and they ask me to request on paypal manual payment.

        Paypal is the best way as it might be fraud.

        So, i will wait for the seller respond before paying it. Anyone if success to pay using paypal, can you tell us?

      • artick on 10/09/2011 - 23:03

        Seems to me the Ebay seller's account has been hijacked. Wouldn't be surprised if the listing disappears soon.

          Could not agree with you more. I've been noticing a lot of these account hijacking listings. All their prices/claims are too good to be true and yeah…they never are haha

      +2

      Update:1.Got reply, his bank is from china,see attached message.(ps3 shipped from Germany?)
      2.He said he uses Tenpay account, which can't pay through paypal option, so he try persuade me to pay through bank transfer
      3. Just asked him why he ship from Germany and i will tell you guys the result.
      4. He has only 1 more left in ebay currently (PS3 320GB + 2 Controller + wire etc).

      I am still concerned about how secure it is, might ask for cancellation.

      P/S: I posted here just to share the amazing deal before i knew I can't pay in paypal, so if you wanna buy, please consider it properly.

    Live updates from Melbourne VIC

    JB Hifi - Ozbargain is a dodgy site, unless shown on HN site, we cant do a price match.
    Dick smith - Store is in country side, we cannot do a price match, get something from within Melbourne.

    BiwW - yet to ask

    • elguapo on 11/09/2011 - 12:20

      The only thing dodgy are JB's stupid advertising where they use phrases like amazing, ridiculous, insane etc below their over inflated price tags.

          I like to go through the catalog and see how creative they can get. Did you know cheap tvs are "BANANAS" ?? Sometimes they repeat words and I point it out to my friends. Yes the work lunchroom is an exciting place.

    Blacktown JB, Dicksmith, bigw and HN declined to price match :( few of them called the HN Vic store but got response that deal was specific to their store.
    Anyone else lucky?

  • phillay on 11/09/2011 - 14:59

    Went to hn in sunshine Vic. They said no, sales person was saying some bullshit. Big w only match catalog price. Eb won't match consoles:(

    • ITveteran on 12/09/2011 - 15:17

      Seems I am the lucky one. I got price match from Domayne Westgosford, NSW. Though the sales lady felt so hesitating to make the deal, despite I told her she didn't need to do it if she felt difficult.

      • Sage on 12/09/2011 - 17:26

        Wow, someone managed to price match?
        Could you please possibly upload the receipt?
        I don't wanna bother with the other one considering the response it's gotten. (regardless of how different it actually is from your one.)

  • except_i on 11/09/2011 - 16:55

    Confirmed in NT HN have no interest in the deal and they are not matching price their price is normal.

  • PVS7 on 11/09/2011 - 17:11

    Sorry to hear that nobody was successful to get price match. I am surprised that other Harvey Norman stores are not able to do it for the same price. When I bought it I specifically asked the sales person if it is a special price. They said $138 is the regular price.

    • aayushjoshi on 11/09/2011 - 17:37

      @vinay, if u ever plan to come to Melbourne city lemme know, u can get me one of those bundles :)

    • Utopian on 15/09/2011 - 09:53

      I don't see the problem, other than stores getting-out of their price-matching "guarantees".

      TONS of stuff on OzBargain is store-specific, but doesn't belong here.

    Hey all — just managed to snag a black Mario Kart bundle for $145 from HN (they had the Wii + Wii Sports for $145, and agreed to swap this for the Mario Kart bundle, which they had retail at $199)

    This "deal" is obviously store specific, so my tip is call, ask nicely to see what deal they can do for you.
    cheers

    • aayushjoshi on 11/09/2011 - 18:40

      Hey, if it's hackable it's worth having ;). It doesn't really have too many good serious games, but it's got your nintendo classics and plenty of good party/multiplayer games that you can't get on any other console (brawl ftw).

      PS3Wii is the best combo. Both completely hackable and the best games between them. XBOX360 is shit (except for it's online).

    • Utopian on 15/09/2011 - 09:56

      If the Wii sucked, it wouldn't be so popular, and over such a long period. So wake-up, and quit-trolling.

      My kids & wife are still extremely happy with theirs. And with all the money I saved with it's hacking, I'm left with enough to buy a man's gaming system: PC.
