EXTRA20

(in)Formal Apology Letter from GAME Aus

Dearest OzBargain fans,

It has come to our attention that, over the years, we may have been the cause of some unplanned discretionary spending as a result of various bargains on the GAME Australia website.

Comments like the following from OzBargainer 'bigosmallo' have helped bring this to our attention:

"Ugh, what are you doing to me?…I bought 5 PS3 games…then I got the Team Ico collection for $30 from GAME. Now I have to get Dead Space 2…"

For this, we are truly sorry…but certainly not remorseful. In fact, we're at it again.

This time, we're offering a further 20% off over 350 already reduced lines when you use coupon code EXTRA20 online.

But while we're in the mood for apologies, we'd also like to say:

We're sorry if…

  • We have been a contributing factor to relationship issues, failed classes, loss of sleep, unemployment, missed deadlines or other related problems resulting from over-indulgement in GAME products. Unfortunately, we can accept no liability for such issues and we cannot guarantee that similar situations do not re-occur

  • Engaging in gaming has encouraged the widespread adoption of common shorthand 'internet' or 'game-speak' into regular conversation. (ROFL, jks! We're not really soz for that. hmm, actually…maybs we r…)

  • You've liked our Facebook page or are following us on Twitter and already hear about our bumper deals before anyone else

But most of all, regardless of the rumour-mill, we’re sorry that GAME Australia may continue to be a source of unplanned spending. GAME Australia will continue to trade as normal and will keep providing our customers with the very best in gaming consoles, games, pre-owned titles and gaming accessories.

GAME on and Happy Hunting! Be sure to let us know what bargains you like best ;)

Sincerely,
GAME Australia

    Thought I saw the brick and morter stores offering 20% off yesterday.

    Does this 20% apply on top of the 20% instore or is it just an online mirroring?

    Edit: It was written on a … small whiteboard thing at the front of the store. Was in great need of artistic flair to be honest…

      Hi Noraneko,

      The 20% coupon code applies online only as a mirror to the instore promotions.
      Should we apologise for providing too many options too? ;)

      • Noraneko on 12/04/2012 - 11:16
        +1

        Just not sure why you would need a coupon online when the "offline" ones offer it anyway.

        Didn't know if you were maybe offering the 20% off already and then going the full monty and offering another 20% off online only (In which case I'd have to dig a little more thoroughly to find some gems).

        • nkbswe5 on 12/04/2012 - 14:48

          Because some people can't/don't want to get to a store so they would appreciate having the same in-store offers online?

        • Elijha on 13/04/2012 - 01:00

          @nkbswe5
          That was Noraneko's point I believe. If you can walk in and get the discount without jumping through hoops why make the online deal need a coupon - why not just reduce the price? It's nice they tell us about it but I bet plenty of the online orders will be paying full price not knowing.

          Noraneko then thinking that it would be silly to be doing that thought maybe the online prices were reduced to match the store - and we were getting a extra special deal rather then just a specific 'ozbargain ad'. His question was valid and mirrored my own.

      No guarantees on this one, but if you're in Sydney, there's a fair chance you'll have it before the weekend.

      • nubzy on 12/04/2012 - 11:23

        thanks. I was just charged $40.32 though for BF3 LE on 360, thought it was meant to be $38.40?

        • Store RepGAME Aus @ GAME on 13/04/2012 - 10:15

          Hi again nubzy,

        Will you guarantee that the new items will be new and not re-packaged used games - as per the Brink items that were on sale a few months ago.

        • davedrastic on 12/04/2012 - 18:20

          I'll take that as a no then. Cross fingers everybody.

    • harley on 13/04/2012 - 23:11

      I'm still waiting (3 weeks so far) for my Batman Arkham City from Zaavi. Ordered Uncharted in the same order and waited 2 weeks for that. I hesitate to order from Zaavi again. Next time I'll stick with Ozgameshop (also competitive) which always came within the week.

  • unity1 on 12/04/2012 - 11:33

    I've added the code but it didn't change the price reflected in my cart. Are your meant to see the price change immediately when you enter the code?

    • nubzy on 12/04/2012 - 11:35

      it changed it to $38.40 for me in the cart, but my card was charged $40.32

    • Chivalry on 12/04/2012 - 11:35

      which game did you try to get? i believe the code only works on the "discounted" sale items. so if you used the search function for a game, you probably arent looking in that list.

    • Noraneko on 12/04/2012 - 11:50
      +2

      Not really misleading.

      It's an Extra 20% off Discounted sale items.

      Currently there is some sort of 20% off sale being advertised at the stores which is apparently the same as the sale mentioned here (hence a mirroring since they are the same).

      I assume that yesterday if you shopped at the online store you would not have been getting the extra 20% off discounted items (and free shipping) that was available on already discounted items in store.

      • Store RepGAME Aus @ GAME on 12/04/2012 - 12:02
        +1

        Right you are, Noraneko.

        The additional 20% offer applies to yesterday's already discounted prices. Hence, a further or extra 20% off.

        Although you might've noticed this in store yesterday, specials were not officially available until today. Click here for more details on the deal.

        Happy to revise the title if anyone else thinks it's misleading (?)

      • deann on 12/04/2012 - 12:21

        yeah game online are different to game instore mate. 20% online is very different to 20% instore because prices instore are normally higher than online. that clear mate. game online and instore are different charging different prices for the same item ok so whats instore on sale is also different to whats online on sale - thats 20% off both though - so still managing to keep up mate? Except 20% instore might apply to some items that aren't 20% off online because they're in store in sale and not availalble online.ok clear as mud…. ehhh what deal is this exactly on what item again where exactly?

    If the physical store is already displaying 20% off discounted sale items on a whiteboard, and that is the final discount offered for now, then the title's extra 20% off is not available.

    • A Banana4scale on 12/04/2012 - 11:59

      it's for the online store..ffs

    • Noraneko on 12/04/2012 - 12:01
      +1

      Without remembering exactly, I'd have to assume that the physical stores whiteboard read exactly the same as what's written here.

      Extra 20% Off Discounted Sale Items

      So that was what was being advertised yesterday (and would only apply to instore purchases and pickup).

      Now they are offering the same deal online and free shipping with it.

      The extra part is supposed to refer to an applicable discount on the same list of items that the sign from the store is being applied to, however, they are the same discount (i.e. a Mirror of the whiteboard deal).

      This has totally been made a hassel because I posted about the whiteboard sign =(.

        GAME can you please investigate?

        • Noraneko on 12/04/2012 - 13:16

          Looking at the value, you got charged 5% for some reason (38.40 * 1.05 = 40.32)

          How did you pay and does the payment method incure a service fee of some sort?

        • nubzy on 12/04/2012 - 13:22

          I paid using my NAB visa debit card, as far as I know there are no service fees. My last order from GAME was a straight $30 for ICO/Collossus.

          You'd probably be better off getting the new version - especially if you want to play multiplayer, pretty sure there's an online pass required which won't come with the pre-owned version.

          BF3 single player isn't that crash hot so I'd encourage you to get the new one if you're looking to keep the game.
