    Myers has (or had, not sure how long it lasted) 10% gift card bonus when buying a $500 gift card.

  Myer Giftcard - Buy a $500 GC and get extra $50 GC
  http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/58999

  Myer has current special 16gb Wifi for $579 (it's on the back of their xmas catalogue - Not changed on their stickered price/plastic standy thing instore)

  Get them to price match JB Hifi at $$553 and pay by buying a $500 GC beforehand

  Effectively you'll be paying $503 and don't have to deal with Kogan + shipping

  DJs has $50 off iPads, so think that would bring it to around $510ish.

  Thanks for the help on getting the $ down guys, I love ozbargain!! I'm thinking of getting my hubby an ipad for xmas…not sure if I should get the 3g version or not…or whether the ipad is worth the extra $ over a cheaper tablet..? I know this is not strictly related to this forum…but any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

    To answer your final question, yes, an ipad is well worth the extra cost over any other type of tablet. They are more functional, faster, easier to use, and have better battery life than any other tablet.
    I would suggest you get a 3G model, since it's handy to have internet wherever you go. iPad's are great for travelling, and you don't want to be paying ripoff hotel wifi rates. iTunes match and iCloud mean that you don't need to take up lots of space on the iPad for music, so you can get away with buying a 16gb model.
