Moved to Forum: Original Link

As part of Kmart's Black Friday Sale, they will have the same Switch Bundle as last year.

Another year, another Nintendo Switch and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle – but this time, it’s for a fantastic price. We’re told Kmart will have the console, a code for Mario Kart and three months of Nintendo Switch Online for just $369. That’s $100 less than an RRP of a Switch all by itself.

The sale starts on Thursday the 25th.

Update 24/11: Main Deal Link has been changed to Kmart's Product Page. Note that the price is showing as $439, but will drop to $369 as per Kmart's Rep confirmation

Update 25/11 12am: From Kmart Rep: The pricing has now changed to $409 at the last minute. It could change back to $369 in the morning however our internal system now has it at $409. We also have a number stores that Toll missed on their delivery today so it means for roughly 30% of stores we will not have in switches in store tomorrow morning. Deal will be moved to the forums as unobtainable once price has been confirmed at 8am AEDT.

Mod Update 8am: Price has been confirmed as $409 Online, deal has been moved to the forums as Unobtainable.

      Gamesmen doing it for $469 too.🤔

        $469 is the RRP

        Not sure why i get downvoted for this. Just questioning the discount due to anecdotal evidence the OP's price is wrong… and it turns out the price is wrong.

          Because you said “for $469 too” like 369 and 469 are the same number. Before this deal went bust.

          • iWan on 25/11/2021 - 08:08

            @ryzza22: Ridiculous connection of dots.

  • yzf686 on 23/11/2021 - 14:43

    It looks like Kmart has released the second part of the sale products which will be on sale from 25th 8am. However, I cannot see the well anticipated Switch bundle. Can anyone confirm that I am correct? https://www.kmart.com.au/category/black-friday/black-friday-…

  • ultimatemike on 23/11/2021 - 21:03

    Sounds like it's going to be a sprint to the service desk when the doors open!

    • Weirdish on 23/11/2021 - 23:14

      That is what I'm guessing, though I have not tried to nab products on Black Friday like this, so not sure how much demand there will be.

      Any tactics that might help? In store or online? How early to arrive?

      I'll probably arrive not too early, and try to buy online if the queue is too long.

      If I miss out, hope another seller has a deal…

  • peanutbutter123 on 24/11/2021 - 07:02

    Why the website says $439?

    • RichardL on 24/11/2021 - 07:15

      Hopefully the price on the Kmart site updates tomorrow at 8am and the Vooks article isn't wrong.

      The product image on the site also appears to be using the EU box.

        @JAF can you confirm pricing?

        • AssociatedJAF @ Kmart on 24/11/2021 - 11:49
          +3

          Website pricing changes when the product actually goes on sale. It will be $369 (or slightly lower) tomorrow morning at 8a AEDT. They have the original price on the website now just so come tomorrow morning they can do “was $439 now $369 save $70”

          • andredms on 24/11/2021 - 16:52

            @JAF: gave three stores a call today in Perth and apparently none have stock yet and said they don't know when it's coming - is it likely some places won't have the deal tomorrow?

    It's a joke, now the page said RRP$449 Black Friday deal $439 WTF? Maybe better luck with Amazon instead hopefully!

    • AssociatedJAF @ Kmart on 24/11/2021 - 11:50

      It will $369 tomorrow morning, website pricing doesn’t update until the actual product goes on sale at 8am AEDT.

      • kaikor on 24/11/2021 - 12:02

        ok Thx for confirming

  • yzf686 on 24/11/2021 - 09:09

    Yes, finally it comes up but with the price $439. The source of info is very inaccurate… Maybe it was Kmart's marketing strategy.

    I am hearing from elsewhere close to the source that the price tomorrow will actually be $409. Not sure who to believe, Vooks is pretty reliable but they don't have a public source for the info.

      Price will be $369 mate , trust me.

      Apologies but you’re correct mate , pricing seems to have changed to $409 on internal system now.

    Hi guys an unfortunate update. Mods if you could please update the description.

    The pricing has now changed to $409 at the last minute. It could change back to $369 in the morning however our internal system now has it at $409. We also have a number stores that Toll missed on their delivery today so it means for roughly 30% of stores we will not have in switches in store tomorrow morning. I’m sorry for all the confusion , I only work at a below head office level so we don’t get communications straight away.

    • ModeratorRichardL on 25/11/2021 - 00:12

      Updated the description. Deal will be moved to the forums as 'Unobtainable Deal' once price has been confirmed at 8am.

    smart advertisement, post a deal for really cheap price to get everyone clicking then change the price to less desirable one just hours before deal going live….

    I'm onsite at a Kmart in the Hunter Valley.
    I'm all alone sitting outside waiting for opening time.
    I'll try to confirm the instore price as soon as I get my hands on one.

        $409 online still and it appears pretty much most of Brisbane missed out.

      Still here.
      Still by myself.

      47 minutes until open.

      I checked with the store last night and they had approximately 10 in stock ready for this morning.

      Edit.
      714. Another customer has arrived.
      Apparently the outside world does still exist.

      Edit
      719. And another.
      I might have to find the door lock.

      Edit
      Ok so I might have to run now.
      Not happy.

            Was the first one there.
            The next person asked for a projector and then there was no one else.
            And I took my time leaving as well. The front door person said I was the first to leave with one.

    Okay folks I'm looking to buy this bundle for a mate living in Sydney (I'm in Ireland). It's gonna be a combined 40th birthday and xmas present.

    Which sites do you think will have the best sales for this bundle? I checked the sites that Nintendo linked to and JBHifi seems to have the best non-sale prices.
