3439682 - very late compared to the rest of you guys.
what did you order?
the fifa world cup 2010 bundle
Sigh. Hoping that its a sign that the ps3 will drop at other retailers.
Somehow l don't think JbHiFi will be honouring any orders. If you read the terms of sale on their website it says that they can withdraw an item or sale at any time. Its been done before. Just go to Facebook and HATE them there Lol.
Why would they post it up and then not honour any orders at all?
Well If they are sold out…how come you can still buy them at the higher price…its called sales scamming!!!
EDIT: Comment was meant to reply to next guy
Nah, it says:
Not Available Online
Pickup Not Available
Can't add to cart at that price.
Wow… and I thought the KMart $289 deal was good… this just keeps getting better..
Why are the prices dropping so much? Is there something that we are not aware of?
Or has Playstation's rep dropped due to the network hackings and they are trying to bring it back up?
There's been a few promotion sort of things, COTD did it too for $199 and it lasted less than a minute. The general prices (as in, the ones you can consider for more than six minutes, and still be able to purchase) haven't strayed far under 290 afaik. This is just a lower price for the ps3, given it's ending it's lifespan. There isn't much solid knowledge about when a successor is coming.

Ps3 Playstation 3 Slim 250gb Fifa World Cup 2010 Console Bundle [Factory Scoop]
Mine is Awaiting Shipment too =)
Order number 3439587
Seems like its not 1st in 1st serve.
Mine is the Fifa and awaiting shipment as well
Damn, just saw this now, too late :(
Damn…i snoozed :(
Dammit! I would've bought a spare one for the loungeroom :(
Just a word of warning to anyone who ordered via paypal, JB ran a online sale a while back with a bunch of $5 games which I made two purchases. They cancelled my order due to lack of stock but I noticed I did not receive a refund, I called up JB and they blamed it on paypal, paypal blamed it on JB.
In the end I think the refund was processed but it took a while.
I ordered two by mistake and they've already refunded one and marked the other as "Awaiting shipment"
lol "by mistake"
"Daily limit for voting negative on comments is currently capped at 5"
I used my whole limit up on one damn bargain today.
I ordered the FIFA edition and status changed to Awaiting Shipment #3416795.
Hopefully will get mine.
I ordered mine, but halfway through Paypal checkout accidentally added the $598 Tekken bundle to my order… $798 got billed to me! Do'oh!
Asked them to remove the second bundle from my order, they cancelled the entire thing and re-added the $199 bundle.
Best thing is that the new bundle has free shipping!
You spelled the doh the wrong type! LMAO
I would suggest that in this case JB-Hifi have no choice but to honour orders. This was not a pricing error on the website. This was an advertised price. Likewise these are not items which are not readily available. Although the packs may be discontinued, playstation 3's and the games listed are readiluy available to JB Hifi.
Without going into the laws of contract it is sufficient to say these transactions have all the makings of a contract. The Clause '7.4 JB Hi-Fi will use its best endeavours to supply Orders placed through the Website, however JB Hi-Fi reserves the right to cancel any Order without notice for any reason.' is in breach of the Consumer and Competition acts provisions for unfair contract terms and hence invalid.
NB: I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. If you would like further information I suggest you call the consumer affairs hotline in your state or contact the ACCC. Go get your PS3.
It's not an unfair term as it's there to protect JB from having to sell to customers when they run out of stock:
24 Meaning of unfair
(1) A term of a consumer contract is unfair if:
(a) it would cause a significant imbalance in the parties' rights and obligations arising under the contract; and
(b) it is not reasonably necessary in order to protect the legitimate interests of the party who would be advantaged by the term; and
(c) it would cause detriment (whether financial or otherwise) to a party if it were to be applied or relied on.
Needless to say it doesn't actually satisfy the other two criteria either. Stop trying to screw over JB. They had a great deal on these PS3s and it just so happens that you missed out.
You Snooze, You Lose!!
Please define legitimate interests of the party? Oh wait… you didn't. If you read down the examples of unfair terms you would see:
A term that permits, or has
the effect of permitting, one
party (but not another party)
to terminate the contract:
Terms that allow the business to
cancel a contract at will, without it
being reasonably necessary to protect
the business’s legitimate interests
or, for example, in response to an
inconsequential breach of contract
by the consumer, may be considered
unfair by a court.
An example of this arose in the
Victorian case of Director of Consumer
Affairs Victoria v AAPT Limited,16 where
Morris J found that an immediate
termination clause in a mobile phone
contract for any breach potentially had
an application so broad that it was
considered unfair:
A customer may have breached the
agreement in a manner which is
inconsequential, yet faces the prospect
of having the service terminated.
Further, if the customer changes his or
her address (which will not necessarily
be the address for receipt of billing
information) this will also provide
a ground to AAPT to terminate the
Agreement. Because these provisions
are so broadly drawn, and are one-sided
in their operation, they are unfair terms
within the meaning of the FTA.
Read the last sentence - Because these provisions are so broadly drawn, and are one-sided in their operation, they are unfair contract terms. Explain to me exactly how 'JB Hi-Fi reserves the right to cancel any Order without notice for any reason' does not meet this criteria.
This is exactly the type of unfair term that the legislation was written for.
You're not reading the term in context. The whole clause states: '7.4 JB Hi-Fi will use its best endeavours to supply Orders placed through the Website, however JB Hi-Fi reserves the right to cancel any Order without notice for any reason.'
Obviously it was put there to protect JB from selling more stock than they have.
Really we are arguing a point which would need to be decided by the courts. You have one view, I have another.
The reality is if people really want this PS3 and put in a legitimate order for it, they should contact the consumer affairs hotline, explain the situation, the term in the contract and how they feel it is an unfair term.
I know in Victoria CAV can lodge a claim on your behalf. JB-Hifi would likely want this whole mess to go away and will offer you a ps3 - perhaps not at the same price… but cheap enough.
FYI, I have a PS3 already, and had no interest in this deal. I do however have an interest in JBHifi not screwing people over.
I don't think it was JB's intention to screw people over, but I agree, they'll probably 'bribe' you with a cheap PS3 to sweep this under the rug. Anyway, to those whinging, get over it. You were too slow and missed out. The same thing happened with the TouchPad and the same will happen with future bargains.
It's not like they've taken your money and not given you the console, they've run out of stock, and as a result, are unable to sell you the product. I can't see how this is a point for any debate or discussion. It's like walking into K-mart, seeing a sign that said an item was $5 clearance down from $10, seeing none on the shelf, and then proceeding to complain because they didn't have any left.
The difference is that these people have for all intents and purposes purchased the item, as per the standard of online shopping.
Furthermore they have in actual fact entered into a contract with JB-HiFi.
I didnt want to do this but a contact consists of an Offer, Acceptance and Consideration. Once the contract is made it is must be completed. In this case, the offer was made (Ps3 $198 - This was not an invitation to treat, but an offer). Acceptance was given (Clicked buy now). Consideration was given -this iss something that passes from the purchaser to the seller (in this case the buyer entered in credit card details, and clicked purchase. A promise to pay is considered consideration under law.) The fact that the card was not charged is irrelevant.
JB Hifi are clearly aware that they are in the contract with the purchasor, hence why they placed the above term into the sale. Hence why we go into the merrygoround of unfair contract terms.
i dont think they have run out of stock, they set aside an amount of consoles for this deal, so stock is still available just not at the same price.
They did run out of stock, of that particular bundle. They can't just go and get the more expensive, newer SKU's (160/320 GB) and give you that. They are completely different products. The fact that they still have 250GB SKU's is astonishing in of itself.
You make the same words like my wife. She is also the French haha
@Wallyt99 "The fact that the card was not charged is irrelevant." Umm actually it's extrememly relevant. The ACCC don't consider it a contract unless they have actually charged you for it.
JB Hifi is now offering a special pack at the same price to those who missed out (check below for the email they sent).
Very happy with this. JB gets a thumbs up for me for actually thinking of the customer.
Lol, your obviously not a lawyer, your a whinger. Build a bridge.
I agree. There is just too many words here.
Lol, every time something like this happens…someone always says ACCC this and lawyers that…
And nothing ever happens. It's easy to get caught up in it but best to save your time and move on. :)
Clear shilling; I don't care about your T&C.
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmnnnnn.. i missed out
Work is overrated. I go to work and miss out on sensational deals like this that occur in the middle of the day :(
I'd still have $50 left from my centrelink check :(
Due to lack of availability, JB hifi are able to cancel all orders if they want to. Its in the T & C's. I wouldn't be advertising anything l havent received for sale on ebay just yet coz guess what…IT AIN'T COMING!!!! ROFLMAO!!!!!
ROFLMAO indeed.
I'm definately getting mine check ebay in a few days you could buy it for $250.00 LOLROFLGATORGTFOSTFU!!!1!!11
LOL at this thread. People get so bitter and turn into instant lawyers when they miss out. Have a bitch, have a whine, have a sook, but all the legal mumbo jumbo is so boring.
ahaha people are so butthurt, they don't have to sell you ANYTHING.
Does anyone still have their order status "IN PROGRESS"? My order has not been canceled nor status changed to "Awaiting shipping".
I'm pretty sure they dont owe you anything. Unless they've taken you're cash you're not entitled to a thing. The offer is an invitation to buy, not a contract.
Read the T & Cs before you start crying because you missed out.
anyone got it , what's the version for firmware?
Just got email that mines shipped :D
Did you get a tracking number? Mine says pick up.
no tracking number
For same reason mine says pick up in the tracking number area.
Last few orders I did with them I never got a tracking number
Someone got 2!! (not me BTW)

kheob, how greedy.
Greedy, but hardly sneaky. If I were sneaky I wouldnt be using two accounts with similar names.
It's not like I'm trying to hide it.
he actually selling 4 on ebay.
LOL. No - I only have two. I wanted to put a buy-it-now price so I just created a new listing since it's free to do so.
kheob'ing is the new broden'ing?
done it with the T520 now with two PS3s…
Was wondering when someone would find it. For your information, I didn't Broden the T520. I sold it because I wanted the T420.
Just received this email.
Hi Guys,
It took only minutes for our Factory Scoop deal on PS3’s to be sold out today, and you were only seconds away from securing one before they all went. At JB Hi Fi we don’t want you to miss out so we want to offer you a special PS3 deal.
We have made up a special pack just for you, and for only $198 + $18 delivery, we can send you out a new model slimline 160Gb PS3, including a copy of FIFA 11. Simply reply to this email and we will send you a link to the offer (this link will only allow one purchase to be made) This offer expires at 5.30pm 27/10/2011.
Keep on gaming
JB Hi Fi
Is it still worth buying?
I just got this email too. Seems like a good deal to me! :)
I got the same email.
Ya, I wanna know too, is it still worth buying?
well the hard drive in the ps3 can be upgraded pretty easy but I dont use that much space on my ps3. The game FIFA 11 is worth more if you wanted to trade it in.
Has anyone got a reply with the link yet to purchase it?
I emailed them about just under 2 hours ago saying i wanted to take them up on the offer and haven't received anything yet.
They haven't replied. I emailed them 1 1/2 hours ago.
I have been waiting since 2:30 and they responded with an automatically generated response stating that the email is in queue. However we should assume safely that people who received the email will get a 160g PS.
For the people who ordered the product but then had their order cancelled, I think this is a great compromise by JB. They probably received some nasty complaints though.
Sorry, I accidentally negged your post on my phone earlier and I didn't realise until now! :(
Totally good deal! Newer console and newer game than the other deal with free shipping! I ordered one! :)
hope i can get one as well ,pity!miss it.
it's definitely worthy, if you don't have interest , you can share with others.
Some of "you people" are naive if you think others here don't buy more than their personal need to sell for a small profit. I'm one of them, but then a winner! * evil laugh*
The people that buy through ozbargain, then Sell on ozbargain without shame, now they deserve whatever they get, I think some of you are just jealous of kheob
Im fairly sure the community here knows that these type of conducts are happening, I just think overall it is a little disappointed that these conducts exist. Especially since this is a free website and it works due to community contribution. Just have a think about what you are doing, many great community websites fail because people try exploit it too much (eventually it may just bring down a website as great as ozbargain).
@Amber & @kheob — this is first warning against both of you. Please refrain from making personal attacks on OzBargain.
My apologies. There's still one comment on the previous page where she called me an 'AH'.
Tal, the comment below (above?) wasn't a personal attack against you (in case you hadn't read it).
It's all good!
My FIFA pack was shipped today, and still received the email to the new 160GB pack.
Can i have that 160g pack one , if you don't want?
Lucky you.
order numbers?
