The perks of having a Twitter account. Saw this here - https://twitter.com/#!/XboxAustralia/status/1845396499544145…

Given that in recent months Harvey Norman have been selling 'AAA' games at a cheaper price (bought RAGE: Anarchy Edition at launch for under $70), this will be an interesting deal they are offering.

ALL games 50% off (3DS, PS Vita, X360, PS3 etc.)
Ends 29th March midnight
Online only (not imports site. You can have game(s) delivered or you can pick up from a local store)

    does 50% off HN prices means its about equal to avg. australian street prices?

      That wave died out a few months ago. Harvey Norman have been great with game prices over the last few months.

      • gilbarc on 27/03/2012 - 19:12

        Is it going to be 50% off their current price though, or 50% off the RRP?

        • gilbarc on 28/03/2012 - 00:12
          +1

          To answer my own question, it seems to be a legitimate 50% off the current price. Voting positive now.

    • ryang on 27/03/2012 - 18:37

      Some of their prices are retarded … BUT! I just found Forza 4 on their site for $68, so it would be $34 after discount.. Cheapest I've seen it.

      EDIT: Ooooh.. Wonder if I could get 50% on a pre-order????

      • iBuzz7S on 27/03/2012 - 18:40

        I'm sure pre-orders won't be accounted for, but it's worth a try. Wouldn't mind grabbing Max Payne 3 SE for under $80. =D

      • fattymattyd on 28/03/2012 - 00:13

        Nah, it says "excludes pre-order games" unfortunately

  • tonyjzx on 27/03/2012 - 18:41

    i think forza 4 is well under $30 from overseas… its been out for 6 months so due for a drop

    • ryang on 27/03/2012 - 18:45

      I meant local copy. These will most definitely be the cheapest you'll find local copies.

      • Phesto on 27/03/2012 - 21:36

      50% off Xbox 360 games, not consoles or any accessories.

  • Grimezy on 27/03/2012 - 18:57
    +2

    Asssuming it's 50% off the marked price and not RRP, you might find some pretty decent games at a decent price.

  • Mossy on 27/03/2012 - 19:02

    Whoa! Gerry has a time machine! "50% off all Xbox games from midnight tonight, Wednesday 28th"

    • ryang on 27/03/2012 - 19:10
      +4

      Technically speaking, that is correct.

      Midnight is considered 00:00, the first time for the next day.

      • [Deactivated] on 27/03/2012 - 19:14
        +2

        technically speaking, midnight tonight is incorrect because midnight only ever occurs in the morning.

        or we could just not be stupid and over analyse.

        • ryang on 27/03/2012 - 19:16
          +2

          I could find a lot of people that would argue otherwise - midnight is just the beginning of the night! :P

        • justtoreply on 27/03/2012 - 19:27
          +1

          Far as I'm concerned midnight is neither morning or night. It's smack bang in the middle of both, therefore unique. You (and anybody who says things like 12am) should be SHOT by the LOGIC POLICE.

          :)

  • Eskimo61 on 27/03/2012 - 19:04

    Wouldn't get too excited yet, Xbox AUS jumped the gun, but Harvey Norman haven't announced anything, only saying "All will be revealed at midnight tonight". Wouldn't be surprised if it was selected titles only..

  • nubzy on 27/03/2012 - 19:16

    I bet it will be off RRP or only select titles, making for a very average deal.

  • Grimezy on 27/03/2012 - 20:32
    +73

    So going off the fact that's it online only, I've compiled a list of all their games on the website at 50% off for those that can't be bothered.

    Deus Ex:HR - $23.44
    Call of Duty MW3 - $44.44
    Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7 - $28.44
    Gears of War 3 - $29.44
    Batman Arkham City - $29.44
    Forza 4 - $33.94
    Street Fighter X Tekken - $39.00
    Just Dance 3 - $23.44
    Assassin's Creed Revelations - $33.94
    LotR: War in the North - $24.00
    Black Ops - $27.00
    Your Shape: Fitness Evolved - $18.44
    Dance Central - $24.00
    Saints Row the Third - $34.44
    Ninja Gaiden 3 - $39.00
    Zumba Fitness - $24.44
    Mass Effect 3 - $39
    Catherine - $34
    Final Fantasy XIII-2 - $33.94
    Skyrim - $38.94
    Duke Nukem Forever - $13.38
    Battlefield 3 - $43.44
    Arcade Triple Pack - $18.85
    Child of Eden - $18.85
    Fighters Uncaged - $18.44
    Viva Pinata 2 - $12.35
    L.A. Noire - $19.38
    Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City - $39.00
    Disneyland Kinect - $29.44
    RAGE - $19.38
    Gears of War - $14.00
    Fifa 12 - $44.44
    Halo Wars - $9.38
    The Biggest Loser - $18.50
    The Darkness II - $39.00
    Rugby World Cup 2011 - $18.83
    Need for Speed: The Run - $39.00
    F.E.A.R 3 - $24.00
    Motionsport Kinect - $18.44
    Kinect Sports 2 - $29.44
    Wallabies Rugby Challenge - $43.94
    SSX - $39.00
    Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine - $43.94
    Driver San Francisco - $24.38
    Dance Central 2 - $32.44
    Crackdown 2 - $13.89
    F1 2011 - $24.44
    Halo Reach - $24.44
    Zumba Fitness Rush - $29.00
    Apache: Air Assault - $38
    Red Faction Armageddon - $23.38
    Gears of War 2 - $28.50
    UFC Undisputed 3 - $44.44
    Fable III - $23.94
    Halo ODST - $13.50

    Now that's assuming that it is 50% off their marked price, and they don't bump the prices up prior to this sale, and assuming it's on all titles.

    If all is correct, then there's some decent prices for newly released games, ala Ninja Gaiden, Darkness II, Street Fighter X Tekken,Resident Evil, and Catherine. All of which would be under $40.

    • iBuzz7S on 27/03/2012 - 20:47

      Plus, with other stores doing trade-in deals, it's a good incentive to buy newly released games at the sale price. Works out well, since you can't trade-in imported games due to the rating on the cover/disc.

      Your future copy of Assassin's Creed III could cost you as low as $40.

    • Wildesy on 27/03/2012 - 21:15

      Good job going to the effort of compiling the list, price bump before the 50% is almost inevitable though isn't it? Can't see them selling ME3 for $39 for example.

      Your list will be a good means of comparison if nothing else if the bump they prices I guess :)

    • MetalPhreak on 27/03/2012 - 22:27

      If they bump the prices up prior to discounting them at their already advertised sale discount of 50%, then they are in clear violation of consumer rights laws, and the consumer watchdogs would love to hear about it ;)

      Would be silly for them to do so after their recent hefty fines over the 3DTV Sports advertising fiasco.

      • monaro202 on 27/03/2012 - 23:38

        prior to this sale, HN had batman arkham city for $36, it's now back up to $58.88, so yeah the've bumped up the price prior to the 50% off, but still makes it cheaper at $29.44 …

    • Miami Mall Alien on 28/03/2012 - 03:54

      Couldn't find half the titles on your list mate, where are they on the website? Or have things gone out of stock already?

    • [Deactivated] on 28/03/2012 - 19:22

      thumbs up on your effort to compile this list

  • virtualds on 27/03/2012 - 20:56

    They have increased Batman-AC price from $38 to $59.
    but still the deal is gonna be interesting

    • nubzy on 27/03/2012 - 23:19

      bugger, would have liked that for $19

  • Grimezy on 27/03/2012 - 21:18

    "Andrew, it's not so much: "All will be revealed…"
    It's more like: "ALL will be revealed…""

    From the Facebook rep, wonder if there's more to it than just Xbox 360 Games.

    • Chux on 27/03/2012 - 21:35

      Odds on it will be PS3 too. Xbox Australia just 'leaked' it early on Twitter…

  • dwhes on 27/03/2012 - 21:28

    Wow nice sale if they don't bump their prices too much. Hope they do one for PS3 soon.

  • aussieude on 27/03/2012 - 21:43

    Going by the list above by Grimezy it looks about right. Not too sure they will add Me3 in there though. Gametraders having sale too and have Skyrim for $49, ME3 $49 and more so you can see those games around the same price when HN starts the sale but I say HN will beat Gametraders game sale $5 - $10 cheaper games

  • KnowingNothing on 27/03/2012 - 21:48

    Top stuff ibuzz and Grimezy. Wish Silent Hill hadn't got pushed back a few weeks.

    Sorry Gerry.

    I just bought Uncharted 3, Gears of War 3 & Ace Combat Assault Horizon from ZAVVI = $71 shipped. ~$24 each.

    • iBuzz7S on 27/03/2012 - 23:29

      How did you work out to pay $71 when the total of those 3 games works out to be 89.1577 AUD?

      At time of posting, 1 AUD = 0.65 GPB.

      • gilbarc on 27/03/2012 - 23:47

    • Arcticfox on 28/03/2012 - 20:46

      I ordered last night at around 11pm.

      Called the store I had nominated this afternoon about 1pm and asked if my online pickup order was ready.

      They said yes, ready for pickup.

      Went there an hour later, handed over the confirmation email, signed a piece of paper and walked out with my two brand new games.

      Piece of cake :-)
