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)

      I got the game today but not yet opened, nothing on the cover talks about the first game is included
      Tried to return it but sales guy in store said need to do it online as can't refund the money In store
      Have you received your game dont know if wrongly stated on website or what

    • simedog on 29/03/2012 - 07:58

      When I picked up my order which included Kinect Sports Season 2, they had a copy of Kinect Sports Season 1 with it.

      • tazmaniak on 30/03/2012 - 15:48

        Dammit. They didn't include the first one for me. :(

  • morphio on 28/03/2012 - 22:45

    Picked up Uncharted 3. Pretty sure its Aus Stock.

  • [Deactivated] on 28/03/2012 - 23:28

    Great deal, Gerry will be fuming!

    I ordered Resistance 3 and Tekken Hybrid this morning around 9am, then at midday took a printout of my receipt and they went and got them for me off the shelf. I wouldn't wait for any confirmation as it certainly does not seem like they rush to secure stock for you when you order online. Good chance of missing out on stock and having to wait for it to be ordered in otherwise.

  • [Deactivated] on 28/03/2012 - 23:49

    My copy of ME3 is definitely AU stock.

    • wesker on 29/03/2012 - 00:29

          Good luck floating the idea of $39 here, 99% of members here are disgustingly tight. Can't see why you won't get $39 for it.

    Am I the only one that had a great experience with this sale?

    Ordered 5 games at 1am last night, got the pickup comfirmation at 10am, went in at 1pm, my order was sitting there and ready for me to take it.

    All brand new AUS region games, no 2 game limit, no UK copies.

    • iBuzz7S on 29/03/2012 - 00:11

      Not at all. I've had a field day with the sale and seeing that prices remain the same, my assumption of it expiring was wrong.

      I am going to crawl into the Norwest store tomorrow night and grab every single PS Vita game I can. Taking 2 friends to help out, in case they don't allow 1 person to purchase 5+ titles.

      I had great experience too. I ordered mine 11:10pm (QLD time) and got an email to come pick them up 930am. I rocked up got all my games all AUS stock and best thing is I ordered duke nukem and dude gave me the balls of steel edition pretty happy

  • angad596 on 29/03/2012 - 01:07

    Anybody knows about the free kinect sport 1 with purchase on kinect sports 2 nothing mentioned on the game a bit confused

    • Arcticfox on 29/03/2012 - 11:07

      I'm trying to find out the same thing, only one person has confirmed that they got it so far.

      EDIT - Make that two.

      • simedog on 29/03/2012 - 11:58

        I never even had to ask. It was just there. Your tax invoice or order confirmation should show that it includes KS1 as well… I'm sure mind did (don't have it handy sorry).

        • Arcticfox on 29/03/2012 - 13:01

          Hmmm, have sent an email query to them to ask for confirmation.

          The trouble is that I don't really want to order Season 2 if Season 1 isn't included. If I add it to shopping cart it doesn't say there either.

          Will hang tight until a salesman at the actual store can confirm for me :-)

  • shakoo on 29/03/2012 - 07:23

    Picked up a bunch of kinect games late last night, a couple of back order as none of the stores nearby have any copies…

  • stejni on 29/03/2012 - 09:28

    I ordered dance central 2 and SSX yesterday, when I got my order confirmation, only dance central 2 was on it! And they amount was changed to not include SSX! It just vanished from my order, when I pushed "Pay now" it clearly stated on he side that SSX was going to be part of it, and the sum would be higher.. And now SSX is nowhere to be found on their site! SSX was the main reason for my purchase! wtf

    • ryang on 29/03/2012 - 09:40

      The order confirmation that comes through right after you make the purchase online?

      If it's not listed there, then I'd suggest you go back and check your cart again.. That part is completely automated - if it's in your cart when you make the purchase online, it will show up on that email.

      It's only after a couple of hours that a Real Human will actually process the order, that's when the fun begins….

      • Dbed on 29/03/2012 - 13:00

        I bought Skyrim and SSX yesterday morning and got a confirmation email stating that there is a delay and both games need to be backordered.

        Only Skyrim had a price next to it though on the confirmation email so hopefully SSX is coming too…

      • stejni on 29/03/2012 - 15:41

        That's why its annoying, cause when you pay, it shows you on the left what you are paying for and the price. When I clicked the button SSX was on the left side! And I clicked to pay $77, but when I got my confirmation, only $38 was charged, and SSX was gone.. I regret so much not taking a screenshot!

    My Uncharted 2, 3 and LBP 2 got delivered today. No mention of 2 per customer. If HN can keep up with the overseas prices in the future I might actually shop with them again!

  • annakira on 29/03/2012 - 10:25

    Ordered 5 games yesterday morning, 4 delivered this morning, brilliant :)
    Accidentally ordered double on one of the games, and they were delivered no probs, but now I have to work out how to return it and get my refund. But overall, I'm quite impressed, too easy :)

    ETA: The Kinect Sports 2 does come with Kinect Sports 1, well with my order anyway. All my order came from HN Blacktown, so I was told by HN Online

    I wonder what the reason is for the clearout. Could they be swapping to a cheaper overseas supplier for all their stock? About time if they are.

    went a bit crazy since I haven't picked up new xbox games in a while, ordered Arkham city, GOW3, LA Noire, Forza 4, AC: Revelations, Halo Reach, and Skyrim last night all for a $215 delivered, now waiting on delivery, hopefully they show up tomorrow!

    My Harvey Norman guy let me get 4 out of the 5 games. He said he wasn't meant to but after a long mix up, he let me do it anyway. I think it was because I was polite, unlike the other guy who ended up with just two games because he was impatient. Yeahhh!

    Ordered one copy FF XIII-2 28/3 morning instant paypal charge and order confirmation email.
    Today still no tax invoice/pickup email from Harvey Norman Wiley Park NSW. Went there and saw 2 copies hanging at the shelves. Store person refused to give me a copy, insistent I would need pickup-confirmation. Gave me story about how system was backlogged etc..(apparently its not as posts above)

    Dicksmith system better, just order, pickup and pay on the spot.

    • annakira on 29/03/2012 - 13:24

      RedKelah, if your email for Paypal is different to your everyday email, it might be there. I gave my gmail address to HN when ordering, but the confirmation email went into my Paypal email address (hotmail, I hardly use thisone) instead.
      HTH :)

      • KangaBanga on 29/03/2012 - 19:43

        thanks for the suggestion but I used same email for both..

        There is nothing wrong with the online system for HN, problem it seems with specific store as Vielus and kurichigo have confirmed.

    • kurichigo on 29/03/2012 - 13:51

      i ordered a copy of starfox 3ds and zelda 3ds two nights ago by credit card from wiley park nsw too. still havent received my pick confirmation. i called today to ask if i could come in to get it. i was told no as well. thanks for the heads up, saved me a trip there.

        I just received an email saying they wont allow me to get 3 games and so now i have to ring and cancel it. (Wiley Park)

        • KangaBanga on 29/03/2012 - 19:38

          Yeah I came back quite unhappy and called online number to cancel, was in number 5 in queue, waited 18 mins no pickup so left my number, and nice lady called me back in 5 mins. She was surprised why WILEY PARK HN refused the order and in few seconds cancelled my order manually.

          I called JB hifi Bankstown to confirm stock (that has preorder bonus) and they just held on a copy for me. just went over to pickup my FF 13-2, 13 bucks more but came with the nice Preorder bonus tin :D

          Veilus : I think WILEY PARK HN is not participating in the sale. I called the other day before ordering and they said no stock (there is stock priced at full price sitting there) haha but i ordered anyways just to test the system.

          Can't wait for the DickSmith Sales.

        • ben10k on 29/03/2012 - 21:26

          Do you have to call the store you selected to pick-it up from to cancel the order or is there another number (on-line office)?

      • pikapika on 29/03/2012 - 14:10

        No cause I didn't expect this to happen. I had my order delivered to me but I did receive an email yesterday stating 2 of my goods were out of stock and there would be a 14 day wait for them. I didn't expect my games to arrive today at all, thought it'd be all in one.

        • kheob on 29/03/2012 - 15:21

          That's just bad luck - whether they honour the sale or not is up to the individual store's discretion (this was pointed out on HN's Facebook page). No need to neg just because you couldn't get something that others could by not following the rules.

        • gilbarc on 29/03/2012 - 16:02
          +3

          To be fair, they didn't exactly make the 2 game limit very obvious — it's only mentioned in the fine print. Plus, they're not bothering to enforce the limit on their end — they allow you to add as many games as you want to the cart, and will charge you for it, which is pretty misleading. Most people who did see the fine print just assumed it meant a maximum of two copies of each game (and in fact, some people have been told by Harvey Norman that it does mean that). It's a valid complaint, and I think his neg is justified.

          I'm still happy to keep my positive vote because things have worked out for me, but if others are having a bad experience with this deal, there's no reason they shouldn't vote negative.

    • [Deactivated] on 29/03/2012 - 16:27

      That's what happens when you're trying to be broden.

      • gilbarc on 29/03/2012 - 16:28

        How is buying more than two different games the same as doing a broden?

    • Veilus on 29/03/2012 - 19:03
      +3

      Since i cant edit my original post, ill post here why i gave a negative because people love to neg when they dont have a clue.

      1) Since i bought the goods and payed right away that would mean they would reserve some stock right? Even though i was over. A email stating please remove one and we can send the rest is too difficult. Easier to cancel the whole order.

      2) I had to ring up just to cancel my order, no number was given until i asked. If they wanted it cancel they should of sent the request directly to the online department instead of making me ring which turned it into 20 mins of waiting for a rep.

      3) Clearly their was hardly a customer limit, they should of said "2 per customer depending on what store you get" I just read the facebook page just then and it didnt mention anything about it. It only appears in small text on the homepage. What happens if you didnt click that link and just went to the gamming tab. Doesnt mention a thing

      4) I bet if i did pickup instead of ship and selected a store that other people had got the go ahead with more than 2 games, i would probably have gotten through as well.

      When i told them in the email i cant reorder since they gone, they just brushed it off. The lady on the phone was very nice and actually rang the store to see if it could be amended, unfortunately the store wouldnt allow it. All these little things made me give a negative. If everyone said they bought two and i got three then yeah neg me as much as you like but thats not the case here.

      • ben10k on 29/03/2012 - 21:29

        Can you post the number where you can cancel the order? Or is it the store you nominated to pick-up from?

        The reason is I placed an order for ME3 & Uncharted 3, and to pick-it up from QV Melbourne. I got an email saying it will take 14 days to replenish back orders.

        I want to cancel as 14 days is too long.

        Thanks!

  • gifox on 29/03/2012 - 15:31

    seems it depends on your store and the person you talked to.
    I called mine (Mel QV), he said I have to wait for them to contact me. Order yesterday morning , haven't received any email but order confirmation.

  • caobey on 29/03/2012 - 15:51

    I have to wait 1-2 weeks for my order, skyrim and ME3 ps3 at qv
    However they were hesitant in providing a back order as they were trying to refund my order instead. They say they are sold out of both games in Vic.

    • gifox on 29/03/2012 - 16:45

      Did they contact you ? I haven't heard from them, QV as the pickup store as well

      • caobey on 29/03/2012 - 16:51

    That facebook post has nothing about that 2 limit post so it's pretty misleading from first glance.

    • gilbarc on 29/03/2012 - 16:11

      That's pretty dodgy — they've made the mistake on their end by allowing you to add as many games as you want to the order, and only mentioned the 2 game limit in the fine print. It should be up to them to sort out the refund — or even better, honour the order.

    • [Deactivated] on 29/03/2012 - 16:33

    Still can't believe i had to call someone up to organize a refund … after my order has been canceled…!

    Gordon from Harvey Norman Online just contacted me. Nice guy to deal with expecially when i was a little irate because of the above (and having received an email from Wiley Park HN - they are the worst). Basically told me they can place limits on anything (as in limits on what they sell to customers), that the webstore has no "limiting" feature, and that stores have discretion to fufill how many they want e.t.c.

    • gilbarc on 29/03/2012 - 16:38

      So basically he's saying they're happy to accept your money, and then decide if they want to fulfill your order?

        Hi Dean,

        In regards to your online order # 700029270 this will need to be cancelled. There is a limit of 2 titles per customer.
        To process the refund please contact Harvey Norman online for this.
        You may place a new order if you wish for only 2 titles before the sale ends.

        Thank You
        Harvey Norman Wiley Park

        • Sleepycat3 on 29/03/2012 - 23:03

          Sounds like an issue with HN Wiley Park. I ordered 4 games and asked them to be delivered. They have been sent out this morning, so HN Online honours your order even if you exceed 2 titles.

  • bansid on 29/03/2012 - 16:46

    My Story…. I bought 6 PS3 games on the night of the deal at 2:00am and received order confirmation but no pick up confirmation as yet for QV Melbourne store!!! Seems like I might not even get any games as they are running out of stock.

    They did call me and told me that the free games was a glitch and thanks for my understanding….But fingers crossed good things happen to good people.. lol

    I'm not fussed if they even cancel my order…. cause I could buy same titles from UK/US/Asia sites…!!!

    • gifox on 29/03/2012 - 16:59

      My order from QV as well…ordered midday yesterday and no email yet. Called them but did not even want to check for me just asked me to wait. Amazon is better coz they constantly update the order status, customer can cancel the order any time and only charge on dispatch.

      • bansid on 30/03/2012 - 01:12

        So True…. I'm flying to london on tuesday else i would have asked for delivery..clearly.. i'm not going to get my games before I head off….!! Cant do anything about it…!!

  • Taperdean on 29/03/2012 - 17:06

    hahaha @ bansid "but sirrr'sss or madam'ssss i just want to play games and gerry won't let meeee!!!!"

    Sorry if i sound a little childish. I wasn't irate that i didn't get the games, it was more that i had to contact them to organize a refund after they said they would cancel it.

    I know this sale and the 3DTV fiasco are two different things (as in the 3DTV's were a faulty product oversight) but didnt the courts rule that "fine print is not an antidote to misleading or deceptive conduct" and fined gerry's ass?

    Im sure alot of people missed the fine print, i only got onto the website via the facebook post which didnt show any mention of a limit.

      lol@Taperdeen.. Thats the spirit… Good on ya!!!

      I did the same mistake of not reading the terms of conditions…. ah well…. they cancel my order they loose $237 worth of sale… games are eventually going to get cheaper…. anyways!!

      Even worth looking in preowned market….. for better deals!!

    No problems at all picking up my games from Auburn NSW store this afternoon, just checked the ID and CC and good to go :)

    • Wish on 29/03/2012 - 18:08

      How many games did you pick up and was it from Harvey Norman or domain at Auburn?

  • fookos on 29/03/2012 - 18:09

    Just Uncharted 3 for me so far - seems like a great price at $29. Better than UK import pricing.

    Having kids doesn't = stacks of times to game.

    Anything else I shouldn't pass up before the clock strikes midnight!?

      little big planet 2 is really fun, u can play it with the kids too if they're old enough…

        I got this game from Myer ages ago for $12.50 :)

  • andrewq on 29/03/2012 - 18:36

    To the people that had to cancel their orders, can you post the number to call or is it store specific where you selected to pick-up the games?

    The reason is I placed an order for ME3 & Uncharted 3, and to pick-up from QV Melbourne. Then I got an email earlier this evening that the games are on back-order & will take 14 days to fulfill.
    I want to cancel as 14 days is too long to wait.

    Also, is there a different number to request the refund for the cancelled orders?

    When you click the "Contact Us" on the HN page, all it gives you is the form with no number to call.

    Thanks in advance!

      The number i got was: 9201 6111 and was told to ask for the online department.

      • ben10k on 29/03/2012 - 21:43

        Thank you! Will call them first thing tomorrow morning. Cheers!

      • ben10k on 29/03/2012 - 21:45

        Hi again. Is this NSW (02) or VIC (03)? Thanks!

        • Veilus on 29/03/2012 - 23:37

          The email didnt mention. Im guessing its 02 since it worked without using it.

      • ben10k on 30/03/2012 - 11:39

        After 30 minutes on hold, I finally got through & cancelled my order. Thanks for the number!

        Cheers!

    Ended up ordering Motorstorm Apocalypse - PS3 $12.50 pickup.. but no stock I don't mind waiting no rush.. I'm a little confused tho how the normal version is cheaper then the platinum one lol

    • Ingram on 29/03/2012 - 23:08

      I ordered the normal one and got the platinum so it depends on the store.

  • GoldPhoenix0 on 29/03/2012 - 22:23

    So… this deal is in its final hour and a half… and what was the moral of the story?

    Next time, get a bloody credit card/paypal account xD

    • abc on 29/03/2012 - 22:58

      Only found out about this tonight :( (so missed out on MK7 :@) but after reading all the comments only ordered 2 games just in case my order was cancelled 2moro morning and could not re-order at the discount.
