    Same price as MLN but more stock! Do HN pricematch?

    250GB, no bundle for $200-220 anywhere?

      HN do pricematch

      I dont know how they have more stock, we still have plenty

    Nice find. Your link includes "offer2".

    For interest, I changed it to offer1 … This is an offer on 2 games for the price of one ( i.e 2 for $40). http://www.jbhifi.com.au/games/offer1/

      Same deals are at the bottom of the page linked.

        Nice thinking though check!
        "offer3" seems to bring up a 'Games offer 3 - Catalogue coming soon' message, whereas "offer4" is just invalid.
        Might be worth keeping an eye on..

        • check on 24/12/2011 - 18:45

          Even better thinking by you MepsiPax! Never thought of going UP the number scale!

        True. Didn't see it on my tablet!

        Looks like a good deal. An xbox plus 2 games for $189 for me!

  • fish on 24/12/2011 - 19:40

    waiting for $250 kineck bundle with $ 50 cashback!

    • GreatWhiteHunter on 24/12/2011 - 19:45

      The kinect bundle cashback ends tonight. You can only get cashback on a standalone kinect from Xmas Day…

  • WhiteEvo6 on 24/12/2011 - 20:20

    These would be all recent lot numbers so no good for other purposes?

    • Musti on 25/12/2011 - 04:02

      If you find the answer let me know :)

  • [Deactivated] on 24/12/2011 - 20:25

    Good find OP

  • T-man on 24/12/2011 - 20:30

    $148 at MLN, $1 cheaper!

  • Third_Gear on 24/12/2011 - 20:57

    Bonus points for free online delivery - am still waiting for a decent ps3 deal myself.

    • m0nkeycheese on 24/12/2011 - 21:12

      • ugoagogo on 25/12/2011 - 00:39

        that dick smiths deal a few days ago was good

  • Redmo0n on 24/12/2011 - 21:29

    Are they losing money on this? (in the sense that's not a profit at this price)

    • nicksnoobie on 24/12/2011 - 21:38

      I doubt it. Those guys will never sell anything below their cost.

      • WhiteEvo6 on 24/12/2011 - 22:55

        retailers will if companies like Microshaft give them incentive and cover the loss. Microsoft doesnt make money on consoles they make it on Live signups.

    • Arcticfox on 24/12/2011 - 23:57

      No - these barebones deals for an XBOX360 with a tiny 4gb HD, are just the start of microsofts journey into your wallet.

      You will eventually want a kinect sensor (~$100 - $200), maybe another controller (~$50 - $80), perhaps a bigger HD (~$100 - price will vary if you shop on ebay) and then of course all the games you will need to buy as well as the possible purchase of Xbox live.

      It's a brilliant marketing tactic… Reminds me of printers and printer cartridges. My cartridges cost more than half of what the printer cost me!

      I bought one of the Harvey Norman deals recently for $158. I will slowly expand the unit when other deals arise - much as Microsoft expected I would :-)

      • _Dan_ on 25/12/2011 - 04:12

        Kinect Sensor $89 after $50 cash back (Target)
        Second controller $38 Ozgameshop
        250gb Hard drive $50 (Ebay)

        Basically the same money as the console again if you shop around. Double that number if you don't :-)

        • Arcticfox on 25/12/2011 - 10:38

          Many options/prices available. Either way, microsoft has put its foot in your door.

        • WhiteEvo6 on 25/12/2011 - 12:37
          +2

          Totally agree, buying locally is a joke. Head online for the best bargains and save 50% and hurt Gerry I say LOL I bought my HDD from online was around $47 delivered for the 250gb

    • spare13 on 25/12/2011 - 23:58

      It's called a loss leader. They are definitely losing money on this. They may be getting some money from MS in the back door but definitely at point of sale they are losing money. They may break even after they get incentives from MS.

    Harvey Norman has it for $148 in their 1/2 yearly sale starting Boxing Day.

    • MepsiPax on 25/12/2011 - 00:14

      Have you got a link to that price?
      Couldn't find it in my Harvey Norman Boxing Day catalogue here (TAS).

      • scoop98 on 25/12/2011 - 10:15

        My local HN had signs up for that price late Xmas eve. WA

        • wiz187 on 25/12/2011 - 21:19

          Bought 1 @ my local HN on Xmas eve @ $168 :( in true ozbargain style, I am thinking of buying another @ $149, and taking it back on the other receipt… Just might wait till 27th and avoid cue…

  • ugoagogo on 25/12/2011 - 00:41

    i expect once the cashback ends the deal on the 250g Kinnect bundle will go back to $299

  • Haoye on 25/12/2011 - 10:52

    I have already got PS3
    any extra benefit (usage)to buy a xbox 360?
    I'm tempted with the price

    • dy4me on 25/12/2011 - 12:27
      +2

      Yes. Then u have bigger bragging rights

      But foxtel on xbox is one reason. Few games are only designed for xbox. And kinect is way better than move not because it superior technology but because sony have been very poor at investing in the move

  • jointda on 25/12/2011 - 15:21

    $99 coming soon.

  • Twisty on 25/12/2011 - 18:10

    If you bought it from Harvey Norman for $158 and now is cheaper at JB hi do don't Harvey Norman have a 30 day price guarantee where they will refund the difference???

    Anyone know

  • Sherlock_ on 25/12/2011 - 20:56

  • fr33loader on 25/12/2011 - 22:45

    thanks OP. How I wish I can get one. I'll just drool at it tomorrow :D

  • spare13 on 25/12/2011 - 23:55

    Considering getting one. Can someone link me to a 250GB HDD on ebay or elsewhere. JB has a 120GB HDD for $50. Which is pretty good I reckon, but if I can get it cheaper, why not

  • glitchx on 26/12/2011 - 08:44

    This is for 148 at HN Moorabin!!

  • MepsiPax on 26/12/2011 - 11:20

    I ended up purchasing at Harvey Norman for $148 today, either store is a great bargain though.

  • spare13 on 26/12/2011 - 12:12

    What stores are open today that would price match this deal. I don't know any that are. JB is closed, HN is closed, dse is close…

  • lufee on 26/12/2011 - 19:11

    Any of these can be rgh or all new stocks?
    Might as well og out tomorrow can see what they have

    • Purt on 26/12/2011 - 19:26

      Almost all of them should be new stock now. Do what I did at hn when they had it for $158 and just go through the stack of them looking at the lot number.

    • spare13 on 26/12/2011 - 19:28

      What's the difference?

  • lufee on 27/12/2011 - 14:16

    Just got back form HN in garden city, got 2 of lot 1133#. Date of 11/08 ^^ 10.83A console. Most of them are 1140+. There is still some 1133 (about 3 left that I went through so be quick)

    • spare13 on 27/12/2011 - 19:20

      What's the difference?

  • sash213 on 27/12/2011 - 15:50

    $145 at jb bondi junction

  • Fritz93 on 28/12/2011 - 10:40

    Any reason why jb hifi are now listing it as $199?

    • bizi on 28/12/2011 - 11:58

      I noticed the website/online cart is listing and carting it at that price.
      My local HN still has stock at $148 in several nearby locations.

      Will JB likely match that price?

      • ryang on 28/12/2011 - 17:36
        +1

        I was in JB today, and the price was still $149… Might only be my local one being lazy.

        • bizi on 28/12/2011 - 21:05

          Still $149 at Hornsby (5 left after I bought mine). Out of stock of Kinect.

    • spare13 on 28/12/2011 - 22:12

      Picked one up for $149 at JB and HN has on website and instore at $148.

  • WhiteEvo6 on 04/01/2012 - 20:19

    FYI my lot number for my delivered was 1133x

  • teknohead on 14/01/2012 - 23:52

    HN Store at Watergardens had the 4gb console for $147 last I saw.
