    A lot of games are in store only. For example: uDraw Pictionary is listed by OP, but: http://dicksmith.com.au/product/YG2799/xbox360-udraw-piction…

    Seems like the same thing as the dick sale last week?

    Nothing for Wii or DS?

    • trinest on 10/04/2012 - 11:13

      Rayman Origins for Wii should be $10 online atm. For DS theres nothing really of note online. 3DS has NFS Run and Sims Pets for $10.

      Many of the titles the poster mentions are sold out and have been for some time online. I picked up Driver CE Xbox.

    I've called around for items that say 'In Stock' on their website and have been told that they don't have any stock. Looks like the staff are hoarding them again. Everyone is going to be bitterly disappointed a la last week's 'sale'.

    • Noraneko on 10/04/2012 - 11:20

      Website is supposedly updated every night @ 9pm or so, so anything purchased during the day wont be reflected on the website until the update in the evening.

      Obviously this doesn't mean staff are not hoarding, but it does show how relatively useless the website stock levels are relative to the store you're potentially purchasing from.

      • kheob on 10/04/2012 - 11:22
        +4

        Even if that were true, that gave them 1.5 hours (I called at 10:30am) to sell off all their stock, which I doubt they would've unless they took it for themselves, considering the sale was originally advertised for tomorrow.

        • CBR on 10/04/2012 - 11:29
          +2

          I believe you, it happened to me with the G27 deal. Called up, staff says in stock, went there, they said out of stock since the day before. tried to explain to him that I called up 10 mins earlier and was told it was in stock, the guy turned his back, walked away and said "it was out of stock since yesterday"

        • kheob on 10/04/2012 - 11:31
          +4

          Yep - I think it's reasonable to conclude that most of their staff don't have any sense of business ethics at all. But I guess that is an HR failure if anything.

        • Noraneko on 10/04/2012 - 11:39

          As I said, it doesn't mean they don't hoard what they want. I remember sitting at the front of the gates last week watching a couple staff members walking over to the games section and walking back to the counter with items and placing them behind the counter. For sure it happens, but I'm just pointing out that the website stock levels are pretty useless when it comes to actually determining if stock is available.

        • blahman on 10/04/2012 - 15:48

          kheob: I'm pretty sure every single staff member except the squarest of all squares would keep a few copies of stuff they want for themselves if they know they can get away with it. That's the way it is. Either you're a bit naive or just sore you don't get your bargain.

        • kheob on 10/04/2012 - 15:52
          +2

          No shit, and that's what I'm complaining about. Thanks for the update.

      • ausooi on 10/04/2012 - 11:25
        +2

        It doesn't matter when the Website gets updated. I have doubt that this is a sale. As kheob pointed out, the dse sales are somehow accessible by their staffs, which pretty much eliminates any chances for the public. This was evident by the last infamous 'sale' they had.

        I'll keep the mouse pointer hovering on the negative for now :)

        • Noraneko on 10/04/2012 - 11:37

          When I had a chat with the staff at one of the stores, I was told that staff had access up to a week before the public had access to it (This was on the big rush day last week). That being said there are still some bargains to be found after staff have cherry picked the best stuff.

    • Bappy on 10/04/2012 - 11:32

      ditto

    • [Deactivated] on 11/04/2012 - 13:35

      Not this time. Staff is not allowed to buy and hoard. I even got some games cheaper than advertised (additional 25% off)- in Brisbane

      Wow, an actual bargain from this sale.

      $1 for that game is about one cent for every major critic that named it their favourite of all time.

    lol just rang roselands for red dead redemption (shows in stock on website) - staff said "it is in stock but it is showing as QT (or something) on our system, which means we CANNOT sell it or we will get sued. We will not be selling this game until further notice".
    LOL
    ok then. the whole thing is a joke

    • bigosmallo on 10/04/2012 - 11:29

      It's QT till tomorrow so staff don't buy it.

      • cyrax83 on 10/04/2012 - 11:33

        does the sale start tomorrow?

      • kheob on 10/04/2012 - 11:51

        Doesn't stop them from putting something aside and paying for it later though.

        • bigosmallo on 10/04/2012 - 13:22
          +1

          Agreed, which is why there will be barely any stock left tomorrow.

        • ca6leguy on 10/04/2012 - 17:39

          Or for those who don't trust their friends get their parents to come in and buy it for them.

  • Duff5000 on 10/04/2012 - 11:26

    If they said the special starts tomorrow they may have to hold the stock till then.

      There's nothing about a gameOn sale or anything on the website. OP states a catalogue but I can't find anything so far.

  • hambuger on 10/04/2012 - 11:51

    People have been told by staff that things aren't showing as "in stock" because they're now "quarantined stock", meaning not even the staff can buy them. Don't know how true that is given the wildly varying things people were told by DSE staff before the last sale.

  • Noraneko on 10/04/2012 - 11:53

    Saw staff with a price list last week removing lots of games off shelf and putting them into a tub and taking them out the back. Wish I'd snapped a pic of the price list. It looked different than the previous 3 page thing.

    Interesting. I noted the logitech PS3 wheel on sale at the DSE website for $10. No mention of any game sale. Checked store stock (as not available on line) and rang my local DSE to order and pick up. Was told this is not possible as stock had been 'quarantined'.
    So took a screen grab of their website so I can follow it up as misleading advertising. It says available, is advertised today at $10 and available in store, and as mentioned no game sale information on the page. They are treading thin ice here to offer a product and then provide some excuse even though stock is available - a suitable definition for misleading advertising.

    • Steptoe on 10/04/2012 - 12:04

    • Captain Obvious on 10/04/2012 - 13:14

      I agree, it's bizarre, and you could definitely make a case for the prices being valid now.

    My main protest for these Dick Smith sales is that they seem to bring out the worst in us OzBargainers. For the sake of saving a few dollars, some people on here seem to say and do some pretty mean things, and it's only because of the threat of scarcity that this vitriol arises.

    I think we can all agree that the OzBargain user community is really excellent, and is one of the biggest strengths of this site. I think we should each remember that when we are dealing with each other and the businesses whose products we wish to purchase.
