          Yep…swapped, no problems whatsoever.

  • Shwayne on 05/11/2011 - 14:17

    Page is completely down now, has anyone rung up to confirm if the deal is still on?

  • danielmccreton on 05/11/2011 - 15:01

    just so you all know harvey norman does know about this deal so i would recommend getting buying infamous 2 soon just in case

    • theguyrules on 05/11/2011 - 15:21

      It's JB Hifi that we need to be most worried about, not that I'm going to be using Infamous 2 anyway.

      • ur2dads on 05/11/2011 - 15:42

        Precisely what theguyrules said. Harvey Norman isn't a problem. Just let them keep their stocks and pricematch HN's price elsewhere. That way, everyone wins.

    • phluffed on 05/11/2011 - 17:28
      +1

      Well even if HN is sold out, remember Myer is selling all it's stock. They have I2 for $50.

  • shopbot on 05/11/2011 - 17:35

    Refund on games not allowed at Harvey Norman even though packaging is still sealed. Rep says he doesn't allow it based on "change of mind".

  • Aemit on 05/11/2011 - 17:35

    Got one from HN…now have to wait till tuesday and see what happens. if they take this out of the list i will use my FiFa 12 and return this to HN for full refund.just called JB and the guy said the list is unlikely to change for few days and also we don't need to pre order…just walk in store with one of those game.

    • shopbot on 05/11/2011 - 18:06
      +1

      Did you ask your HN rep about the full refund and if its allowed?

      • Aemit on 05/11/2011 - 21:06

        shouldn't be a problem….full refund if its sealed….credit if opened

  • kash on 05/11/2011 - 20:10

    I just picked one up from DickSmith, got them to price match it no problems at all, now waiting for Tuesday to trade it in…. :D … if they take it off the list, meh take the game back to dicksmith use their 14 day return policy and get MW3… :)

    now only to resist opening the game, incase this doesn't go thru. :)

    • sash213 on 07/11/2011 - 11:39

      Note: DSE changed their policy officialy though staff still honour it

  • nubzy on 05/11/2011 - 20:22

    I dont think they will add it to the list, its a new release like all the others. There is going to be a clearance special on games at some store all the time, they will still be able to sell it for a profit to a kid or parent easily.

  • txn25 on 06/11/2011 - 00:43

    Does anyone know when this deal will end? I can't see a date from my phone.
    TIA

    • Sonny on 07/11/2011 - 16:57

      I called up the JB Hi Fi Nunawading store, and the guy said he doesn't expect the list to change until at least a week after the release date. That being said, there is still a chance of changes happening anytime upper management wants it to.

  • dwhes on 06/11/2011 - 17:05

    Going to pick up infamous2 from HN. I'd actually preordered MW3 from there for $78 as I have a $10 gift card that I got with RAGE from HN. Now I'll get infamous for $36 with the gift card, cancel my pre order and pick MW3 up for $36! Score :-D

    • Sage on 07/11/2011 - 20:36

      How'd you get the gift card with RAGE? I bought that game from HN too but didn't get it.

      • dwhes on 08/11/2011 - 12:24

        Have a look at the deal I posted about it at the time.

    JBhiFi says trade in deal commences on release of game so why wouldn't they allow trade tonight

    • ChadHominem on 07/11/2011 - 15:30

      i don't think it's about allowing it or not. i asked this girl on the phone some questions about the trade in (such as if cross platform trade is allowed) and she said that the actual deal isnt in their system yet. she said the deal won't be in their system until tomorrow morning, so basically, no trades tonight.

      but this is just the miranda store i asked, if anyone finds out something different please post because id like to do it tonight =D

  • Joshyss on 07/11/2011 - 15:38

    Got a copy of Infamous 2 today at HN… Have to work tomorrow but! Hope deal is still good tomorrow arve and we can trade cross platform!

      I don't mind grabbing your uncharted 2 for a infamous 2 swap if your near parramatta :)

  • ur2dads on 07/11/2011 - 16:50

    Just picked up my copy from JB-HIFI (price matched from HN). Girl at the counter smiled and asked if I was trading in for the MW3. Turns out the whole staff team already knows and are planning to come in before trade to buy their own copy. Hope they won't be assholes and refuse ours after they're done with their fun.

    Makes me wonder if OzBargain is a blessing as well as a curse :P

    • awkwardpaws on 08/11/2011 - 07:44

      so you just walked in, price matched and then immediately traded in? if so imma do s this morning!

  • Siuto on 07/11/2011 - 16:56

    I have traded in my copy of Infamous 2 for MW3 on Xbox at JB Strand Arcade as a pre-order, ready to be picked up tomorrow. This just shows that you can cross trade and trade in as a pre-order.

    • ur2dads on 07/11/2011 - 17:07
      +2

      What the? I thought the deal isn't on their system yet. It seems that the JB staffs have deceived us!

  • nubzy on 07/11/2011 - 17:30

    Not many stores know how to do that. I tried to do it with GoW3 and tried to tell the staff that it was possible, but they wouldn't listen. Useless!!

  • step_hen on 07/11/2011 - 17:51

    Just pre ordered MW3 with my trade in of Infamous 2 form Harvey normam. Its the shortest time I have ever owned a game. Had it for about 15min.

    i will be ringing local store and posting info here at 10pm brisbane time
    and if good to go will 'ready up' and assault carindale

    • ChadHominem on 07/11/2011 - 20:03

      when i called up today i was told that the website hadn't been updated, but they had changed it to 11:45 instead of 10:00 because of preparation time.

      not sure if that was just at miranda nsw tho.
      so if you can't get through at 10:00 that may be the reason

      • thelastnoob on 07/11/2011 - 20:08

        thanks heaps mate too bad for all those who are going off what the website says
        why wait for hours unless its an apple product :P
        oh and is anyone here hitting carindale tonight?

  • thelastnoob on 07/11/2011 - 22:59

    JB Carindale open now but Cannot sell until midnight.

  • ChadHominem on 08/11/2011 - 01:17

    traded infamous 2 as well.
    funny story, i saw harvey norman was doing a midnight launch as well so i went in and bought infamous 2 and headed straight to jb hifi afterwards.
    thanks OP! hope that infamous 2 is still honored tomorrow for you other guys =P

    The Strand arcade in syd was open a bit before 9am. Traded in infamous 2, no problems!

    P.s. Heard a salesperson on the phone saying that they were not holding any copies of MW3 on the first day, so you got to get in there if you want it now!

    • Chivalry on 08/11/2011 - 10:38

      was there lots left?

  • WingedNike on 08/11/2011 - 09:50

    Copy-paste from ecogamer:
    I get the feeling that all the Brodens are going to be in for a rude shock today: I just called up EB and GAME, trade-in values are $40 and $45 respectively! Perhaps they caught on. I wonder how many people are going to run from JB to EB only to realise they've just made a loss lol!

    • theguyrules on 08/11/2011 - 10:26

      Most new games have pitiful trade in now, simply because they can be bought cheaply on launch.

    • Shwayne on 09/11/2011 - 00:47

      So we effectively deflated the value of the game, GOOD.

  • jk91 on 08/11/2011 - 10:05

  • kheob on 08/11/2011 - 10:41

    Anyone know what the trade in value for Uncharted 3 is? I'm trying to decide whether to trade in UC3 for MW3 or to buy Infamous 2 and trade that in instead.

    • iammimix on 08/11/2011 - 10:43

      according to the BS in the latest GAME catelogue, it's like MAX $50 and thats if you have the extra 25% bonus from a GAME card.

      best to call a few shops and suss it out.

      • kheob on 08/11/2011 - 10:46

        If it's at a maximum of $50 then I may as well just trade it in for MW3. I'll ask JB later what their trade value is. Cheers.

    Just traded Infamous 2 from HN all sweet. My fried managed to get EB to price match RadioRentals in SA @ $25 for Infamous 2 and got 2 copies and traded both in at the same time at JB and scored 2x copies of MW3 for $50.

    • PainToad on 08/11/2011 - 10:59

      LOOOOOOOLLLLLLL!

    • RadioRentalsSA on 08/11/2011 - 14:22

      We're nearly out of stock though. If you haven't bought infamous 2 from us already, you have probably missed out.

  • danzan on 08/11/2011 - 10:55

  • tkotk on 08/11/2011 - 11:05

  • theguyrules on 08/11/2011 - 11:21

    Picked up my copy, quick and easy.

    Traded in Gears 3, not bad, trade in a game worth around $25-$30 credit at EB, for a $80 game.

  • Simba on 08/11/2011 - 11:41

  • YaBigGoose on 08/11/2011 - 11:48

    Yep, traded Infamous 2 at Doncaster Shoppingtown JB for MW3 on the 360.

    Can't wait to see their pre-owned section in a week.

  • phluffed on 08/11/2011 - 11:48

    Just traded my Infamous 2 no probs. The guy said JB were selling Infamous 2 for $39 last month so he was amazed to see it on the included games list. He thinks it's unlikely they will pull the title for at least the rest of the week. They all know about the HN $46 and Myer $50 price point.

  • Ted Mosby on 08/11/2011 - 11:51

    Hopefully Infamous 2 stays on the list.

    If anyone can't get a cheap copy of Infamous 2 from HN, EBgames have preowned ones for $47 which can also be traded in (JB wont know its a preowned)
    Just a though for those not close to a HN or those who have a EB in the same shopping centre as their JB.

  • dwhes on 08/11/2011 - 12:26

    Just traded my brand new copy of infamous 2 from HN to jb :-) literally took me 5 min to walk into HN, buy it, walk across the road, JB guy saw it in my hand and grabbed a copy of MW3 lol. And my $10 HN voucher that I got when I bought rage from them allowed me to get it for $36 :-D winning!

  • puffy on 08/11/2011 - 12:31

    There was one copy of Infamous 2 left at HN QV Melbourne when I went half an hour ago. Traded in sealed Infamous 2 for MW3 which was quick and easy

    • kheob on 08/11/2011 - 12:49

        Yep I traded it in JB Bourke. I quote the trade in guy at JB saying 'hundreds'. But quite a few came in after me grabbing MW3. Might be worth giving them a quick call to check but should be heaps.

  • Adamiam on 08/11/2011 - 13:52

    Traded in my copy of Gears of War 3 for the 360 version.
    Figured I could just buy a new copy from Ozgameshop for about $50.

    They asked whether I wanted the 360 version, so it seems you can trade cross platform.
    However, I'd be quick about it if you want to trade Infamous 2.

  • Aemit on 08/11/2011 - 13:58

    There r like 20 copies of Infamous 2 PS3 in the shelf @ HN auburn. I had already traded a copy for MW3 this am.

  • eggvillain on 08/11/2011 - 14:10

    Not confirmed, but I have heard that JB may have taken infamous 2 off the list already. But their website clearly suggests otherwise. So if anyone has any problems, perhaps show them the site.

    • shopbot on 08/11/2011 - 14:18

      Damn. It has only been half a day. Not cool.

    • PainToad on 08/11/2011 - 14:20

      People with jobs always miss out :( Guess best option is to buy from EB (price match HN) and then if JB don't take it, return to EB?

    • Siuto on 08/11/2011 - 14:32

      When I was at HN yesterday, there were like 8 copies of Infamous 2 there. I bought a copy myself and traded it in. But when I went to the same HN today, all copies were gone. Maybe the deal has now been OzBargained (in relation to Infamous 2 anyway)…

    • fieldafar on 08/11/2011 - 15:03

      Could someone please confirm? I'm at HN now, so I don t have to buy Infamous 2 if I don't need to.
