Had a look at some games and accessories that I knew were not part of previous promo and they are now marked down. (eg Star Wars Kinect now $41.97 was $59.95)

From the Dick Smith website:

Due to the unauthorised leaking of an internal price list last week, our Game On Sale has exceeded expectations. As our Game On Sale continues this week, we would like to inform our customers that stock is selling faster than expected. We thank you for your patience and continued support and apologise for any inconvenience caused. As a gesture of goodwill in addition to the Game on Sale event we will now be offering extend the offer to include 30% off gaming software and accessories until Sunday 15 April. Please note that this excludes all gaming consoles, digital cards & already advertised catalogue lines in our Game On brochure (11/4 – 23/4/12).

    With the 20% refund from MS, this makes most of the Xbox accessories on par with UK prices. You do however have to wait for MS to issue the refund …..

      Yeah I listed some of those deals in the other DSE post:

      • 320GB HDD with Lego Star Wars – $75
      • Wireless speed wheel – $30
      • Silver controller with play and charge – $42
      • Wireless network adapter – $75

      …plus $10 if you want it shipped ;)

      I'm not sure a leaked internal sales memo counts as 'advertised prices'. The only mistake I saw was the DSE rep here saying the sale was real without clarifying. I'm not sure why people expected each store to have hundreds of 80% off consoles, it was obviously an end of life stock clearance.

    • superforever on 11/04/2012 - 11:56

      I think you should let them know which store refused the ad price.

  • AL008 on 11/04/2012 - 11:26

    Does this 30% off include discounted items on the DSE Site?

    E.g.

    Wii controller with motion plus is discounted to 41.xx so therefore another 30% off or is it included as the
    "already advertised catalogue lines in our Game On brochure"…

    • abc on 11/04/2012 - 11:28

      I paid $10something for Wii Party (with controller) it was on sticker special for $15 so this included the 30% off.

      • Hessian Sack on 11/04/2012 - 14:14

        Stickered $15, charged $10.50. I got this too.

    • pikapika on 11/04/2012 - 12:53

      wondered this as well…

    • cruXis06 on 11/04/2012 - 13:03

    The 30% off applied to the sale games I just bought - Batman Arkham City (PC) and Wii Sports Resort (with the Wii-motion Plus) for $10.50 each.

    • grozny on 11/04/2012 - 11:48

      they had Arkham city (PC) for 1 dollar each last sale…. i got 2 copies…

    I was so dissapointed… got up early to finally get some deals at the Knox City store… Apparantly they weren't notified about this sale and cannot sell items at the advertised price because they are "closing down"… everything was full price!! mega sigh

    So a note to everyone, Knox City DSE is not running the sale!

    • 1morphine1 on 11/04/2012 - 12:04

      with such a substandard management, no wonder why DSE are closing down their stores

    • Miami Mall Alien on 11/04/2012 - 19:08

      That is friggin' abysmal.

      A store that's closing down doesn't have the authorisation to mark stuff down to clearance.

      • get-innocuous on 11/04/2012 - 19:32

        This seems ridiculous - surely they have a POS system which lets head office set prices remotely and roll them out to all stores? How else would you run a business as big as DSE.

      • SomeGuyOnOzB on 11/04/2012 - 22:42

        Or a telephone, so they can ring head office and find out the sale is on

  • oddbaby on 11/04/2012 - 12:25

    I posted this on another OzBargain page but it probably has more relevance here. I just went in (vic gardens) and they had more gaming titles on special, though very limited. Picked up Uncharted 1 & 2 collectors pack for $7!! Also got Medal of Honor ($3.5) and Fracture ($2) for the hell of it. So that's 4 PS3 games for $12.50. I checked stock levels online and called to confirm they had it before I went in. The prices online already seem to have the 30% markdown listed. ie Uncharted Twin pack was $10 (which I think was already the discounted price) down to $7.

  • GaelicAU on 11/04/2012 - 12:41

    So, are 3DS, PS3 etc. on sale?

    • WalterPPK on 12/04/2012 - 19:31

      There are a fair few PS3 games on sale. The consoles aren't, though.

    Michael Jackson Kinect - $2.80

    Motion Sports Kinect - $3.20

    Halo 3 - $1.90

    The guy at the counter warned me and said that prices will probably not match what the website says….to my advantage they scanned in much less than the website! :)

  • djkizz on 11/04/2012 - 14:47

    Even thought it may have been an "Unauthorised leaking of an internal price list" but that didn't stop DSE from confirming it on their Facebook page. That was their mistake IMHO.

    However, this is OzBargain and they are giving 30% off to people who can get a hold of their stuffs, so +1.

  • irajohn90 on 11/04/2012 - 14:55

  • Maxamillion21 on 11/04/2012 - 15:19

    They had the 30% off applied to the Uncharted double pack even though it was already down to $10. Took it to the register and picked it up for $7… Needless to say I was happy :)

  • Postulative on 11/04/2012 - 15:43

    Said this on another thread, but…

    Dick Smith Woden appears to be closing down, the place is a mess. I picked up a few games.

    $1 (these hadn't been anywhere in my plan):

    Wolfenstein
    Sonic PC Collection
    Age of Empires III
    Prince of Persia - Sands of Time
    Universe at War
    Section 8
    Lord of the Rings: Conquest
    Bejeweled - Twist

    $3.50:

    R.U.S.E.

    $10.50

    Batman: Arkham City
    Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

    Total spend was $32.50.

    I'd actually been hoping to get Arkham City and Heroes of Might & Magic 6, but they were sold out of the latter.

    • A Banana4scale on 11/04/2012 - 20:18

      Canberra centre has Heroes of Might and Magic 6 bro.

  • lonewolf on 11/04/2012 - 15:57

    So is there any point going into a store, or is it very hit and miss? I ask because they arent really on my way and i am only after PS3 games. Do i also have to scan them first to find the price?

    • hchaminda on 11/04/2012 - 16:08

      Better to go and getting scanned before buying, I noticed some are cheap than on line advertised price.

    Hi I bought a ps3 Udraw for 25.50 from chadstone and few left.I saw the original price as 109.50. Pretty good deal.

    • pikapika on 11/04/2012 - 20:15

      lots of places are discounting UDraw cause it's now no longer being used for the PS3 or 360..so besides this sale these come up quite cheap in general.

  • Chilby2k on 11/04/2012 - 16:17

    I was wondering I don't have any Dicks smiths near me could someone try get the following for myself?

    Batman: Arkham City
    Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

    I can bank deposit or paypal please msg if you can.

    The weird thing is that some sale games get the 30%, some don't. I just bought Wii Sports Resort (another copy) that got the discount, but the TDK $5 headphones and Prince of Persia didn't. Odd system.

  • Miami Mall Alien on 11/04/2012 - 19:00

    Grabbed a pretty nice stash (had to drive to two branches however): http://i41.tinypic.com/2uh1nxk.jpg

    Batman Arkham City: $10.50
    Duke Nukem Forever: $7.00
    Civilization V: $10.50
    Warhammer Space Marine: $10.50
    Red Alert 3: $2.00
    Red Faction: Guerilla (Boxed): $3.50

    Total (Incl. Staff Discount): $41.80

    I don't work for DSE btw; so no I don't have the Xbox 360/PS3 you wanted.

    Seems to me DSE definitely held some stock in reserve for the 11th because my local branch (DSE Innaloo), which was picked clean after the madness that ensued on that fateful day, April the 2nd, and had virtually nothing of value; today had a decent assortment of PC/360/PS3 titles.

    I saw numerous copies of Rage, Assassins Creed Revelations, Saints Row 3, L.A. Noire, Bat Arkham City, Call of Juarez, Uncharted, Dead Island, Driver San Francisco, GTA IV, COD MW3 & Black Ops, Uncharted, Red Dead Redemption, as well as a huge amount of Wii crap including controllers and covers, all selling at the announced discounted prices that the leaked sales list had.

    So there definitely are some bargains still to be snapped up.

    On another note; I saw the first closed DSE branch so far in WA. Excuse me while I play a tune for DSE on the world's smallest violin.

    Some reasonable, not over the top** deals here. Stock at least, is likely to be available.
