    This is a good buy.

    Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000 Keyboard/Mouse Bundle from officeworks $119 - $60 cashback = $59 wow.

    Can be further sweetened if you can get someone to price beat officeworks.

    • stratbargain on 24/05/2012 - 15:03

      Price match at Officeworks.

      Works out to ~$43… not bad :)

      • Alzori on 24/05/2012 - 15:16

        Note that Officeworks (at least they say on their site) take into account delivery fees, and it works out as just over $119 delivered for me which should lead to no matching. Not sure how much this is enforced though, what are people's experience of this?

        • superforever on 24/05/2012 - 15:25

          Just match MSY in store price.

        • Alzori on 24/05/2012 - 15:26

          Good point XD

        • paulojr on 25/05/2012 - 07:19

          I've found Officeworks online enforce this add the delivery fee rule even when its only them that have delivery fees. i.e. I've tried matching The Good Guys in-store pickup price against Officeworks and they add their own fees to the price match, which means they were actually more expensive!! Waste of time, 40 minutes on the phone to be quoted a higher price… Instore they (legally) cannot do that "if" the item is physically on the shelf with an identical product code..

    • Belistic on 24/05/2012 - 15:18

      Isn't 30% off $119 - $35.70 = 83.30

      • Shaw on 24/05/2012 - 15:19

        of RRP

      You wont get the cashback offer at $119. I just spoke to the cashback hotline.

      Oh you wicked..

    • superforever on 24/05/2012 - 14:52

      You better off go to MSY, like MS Desktop 5000 they are doing $149.99 after 40% still more expensive than MSY.

      • ActualActurary on 26/05/2012 - 08:40

        On the MSY catalogue, it says the Microsoft Cordless Desktop 5000. Would that be the same as the Comfort 5000?

        • ActualActurary on 26/05/2012 - 14:19

          I'll respond to my own question, yes. yes it is. Also i took the last one on display at North Melbourne MSY. Sorry guys, but call up they might have stuff out back.

    • Captain Obvious on 24/05/2012 - 15:49

      I was thinking exactly the same thing, need a better mouse

  • homersyd on 24/05/2012 - 15:04

    mmm…how about do a price match between MSY/officeworks, then get the cashback….kaching muhahahaha

    • superforever on 24/05/2012 - 15:08

      Yes that's what I am thinking to do.

  • letslogin on 24/05/2012 - 15:09

    30% off recommended retail price guys… assuming you have to buy it at recommended retail price or they'll only cash-back the difference until you reach 30%?

    • superforever on 24/05/2012 - 15:15
      +1

      No, Cash Back on RRP doesn't mean you have to buy it at RRP.

      That is what use to be, I bought 360 wireless headset for $5 and get $10 cash back. So MS doesn't care how much you bought it.

        • superforever on 24/05/2012 - 15:26
          +1

          You must be the first time with MS cash back. I did so many times.

          Because I bought from our supplier directly for myself and get cash back from MS.

          No where in the T&C say that.

        • scampy on 24/05/2012 - 15:27

          WRONG

        • Belistic on 24/05/2012 - 15:28
          -4

          Nope, not my first time with cashbacks from MS.
          I just spoke to the cashback hotline… feel free to call them on 1800 233 033 to confirm.

        • ironworthy on 24/05/2012 - 15:29

          No, you don't need to pay full rrp to get the cashback. This is the same with their xbox accessories cashback, doesn't master what you paid for it

        • superforever on 24/05/2012 - 15:36

          Belistic, So how much you bought last time and what is the RRP and how much you got back?

          How long ago?

        • SKiZO on 24/05/2012 - 16:18

          So you definitely can get the cashback if you buy direct from a distributor? It doesn't have to be a Bricks/Mortar store?

        • superforever on 24/05/2012 - 16:22
          +1

          Of course make a invoice to myself, so not direct from distributor.

        • SKiZO on 24/05/2012 - 16:28

          Ah righto, thanks.

        • Telios on 24/05/2012 - 20:05

          Have you even read the T&Cs?
          NOWHERE does it say you must PAY RRP to get the cashback offer, the cashback value is based on RRP.

          The only sad face I have is this part in the T&Cs:

          Only 1 claim per person is eligible to receive the Offer.

        • grab_ur_freebies on 25/05/2012 - 00:09

          Would that be 1 claim per person/name or 1 per registered address/household though?

    • onecentless on 24/05/2012 - 15:22

      in the past the rebate is fixed regardless of how much you paid at 'partner stores;.
      should check in this promo's t&c.

  • kirt on 24/05/2012 - 15:11

    The Good Guys have a small range of M$ hardware too…hmmm…price match using gift cards, then another 30% cash back on RRP…I like :)

    Wireless Desktop 800 = $6.50

    Wireless Desktop 3000 = $17

    Wireless Mobile Mouse 1000 = $5.50

    Lifecam HD-3000 = $8

    • KTan on 27/05/2012 - 21:46

      How did you get the desktop 3000 at $17?

      • kirt on 27/05/2012 - 22:16

        Advertised as $70 at TGG…minus 20% using gifts cards = $56…minus $39 cashback = $17.

  • knackers on 24/05/2012 - 15:19

    I still have mice and keyboards from the last MS promo.. Unopened and unwanted

  • ccrap on 24/05/2012 - 15:19

    Get in quick on pricematches. OW HO regularly check this site to adjust their prices.

    • Shaw on 24/05/2012 - 15:21

      Do you see them wandering around ?

      • ccrap on 25/05/2012 - 11:04

        Only if you squint. They're not actually contributing anything, just trawling to make sure they don't get caught out with a price match frenzy.

    • superforever on 24/05/2012 - 15:28

    • FloatingPoint on 24/05/2012 - 15:37

      Belistic, think about this - You walk into OW, ask a sales to "Price Match" it to RRP for you, and get a cash back? This doesn't make sense!

    • tae on 24/05/2012 - 15:38

      Not sure what to believe.. Friend also called up and they said COTD is a valid retailer.. hmm..

    • georgedeka on 24/05/2012 - 15:40

      Nothing about you needing to buy at RRP in the T&C, ring again and get someone who knows what they are talking about

    • masuta on 24/05/2012 - 15:42
      +1

      In the past I have NEVER paid RRP for the microsoft cashback promos. As their terms and conditions state:

      "2. The Offer is only valid for customers who have purchased eligible Microsoft Hardware product (as described below) from any eligible retailer in Australia during the Promotional Period."

      It says nothing about purchasing the item at RRP. All I can say is that if you are not happy with the "risk" don't buy anything. I'll have a look through and see what bargains can be had, but like others here I think I have enough microsoft hardware from the last cashback promo (I really need to ask my self the question "Do I really need it or is it just too good a price to not buy one?)

      • superforever on 24/05/2012 - 15:45

        Except big retailers whoever sell RRP?

  • thierry on 24/05/2012 - 15:41

    If someone can let me know best wireless mouse+keyboard deal, i'll be greatful.

    The Arc mouse seems pretty crazy.

    • superforever on 24/05/2012 - 15:44

      Normally I would prefer Logitech but with cash back I will consider the Desktop 5000.

  • Captain Obvious on 24/05/2012 - 15:50

    Anyone know the best place/price for an ergonomic mouse? I have a basic one that isn't big enough for my hand, gets uncomfy pretty quickly.

    • wchui on 24/05/2012 - 16:40

      I would like to know too. Don't want the keyboard + mouse set; just want a comfy mouse. Not interested in the arc touch since my fingers are already tired enough with using touch screen devices.

    • WaterDragon on 24/05/2012 - 17:22

      Logitech M950. Sometimes Logitechshop sell it for $55

      • Captain Obvious on 24/05/2012 - 17:37

        Not bad, but for that price I may as well get the Microsoft keyboard + mouse package which would be $60

    • X200T on 24/05/2012 - 23:32

      I'm thinking to get this one myself:

      http://www.digitalstar.com.au/microsoft-3kj-00005-touch-mous…

      Plus the $20.99 cash back, I reckon is bargain!

  • grab_ur_freebies on 24/05/2012 - 15:56

    Would they accept purchases from MSY or other computer stores?

    • superforever on 24/05/2012 - 15:58

      No problem

      T&C here.

      To make a claim you need to:

      Purchase any eligible Microsoft hardware product from any participating Australian retailer between 24.5.2012 and 5.7.2012. Participating Australian retailers include, but are not limited to Dick Smith, Bing Lee, Retravision, Myer, David Jones, Betta Electrical, The Good Guys, Officeworks, JB HiFi and Harvey Norman. Purchases made from auction websites, back-orders and products awaiting arrival/delivery are not eligible for this promotion.

    • Captain Obvious on 24/05/2012 - 15:59

      Shouldn't make any difference, a purchase is a purchase

    • alvian on 24/05/2012 - 16:07

      Past MS cashbacks accept purchases from MSY (also from all non-gray-import retailers). This was confirmed by calling the MS help line as well as from actual purchasing experience.

  • joeydee on 24/05/2012 - 17:13

    Does MS hardware consist of xbox hardware as well?

        Question is…who has the best price for a Wireless 360 controller for Windows and is a Brick n Mortar store??

        • pumpkinspice on 25/05/2012 - 14:45

          umart.com.au
          $55

        • xcx on 25/05/2012 - 15:57

          Does anyone know if ordering online from ozgameshop.com would be allowed for this promotion?

          They have the "Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller For Windows Black PC" in stock with Free shipping for $40.99.
          http://www.ozgameshop.com/xbox-360-accessories/microsoft-xbo…

          With the discount of $26.99, it would take the final price down to $14 dollars.

        • superforever on 25/05/2012 - 17:04

          I don't think so if outside Australia because you have to scan the invoice and mail to them.

        • Telios on 25/05/2012 - 20:43

          Edit: Seems you just need a legit ABN for cash back to work

  • Dan_ on 24/05/2012 - 17:52

    Does one claim per person mean one item per person or can you have more than one on the same receipt?

  • mskeggs on 24/05/2012 - 17:58
    +2

    Arbitrage possible:
    http://www.megabuy.com.au/microsoft-basic-optical-mouse-p176… sells at $1.11. Rebate is $5.99 according to the list. Shipping is costly, but I would make $57 on an order of 30 mice, but what would I do with 30 mice?
    If you do this, make sure they have the mice in stock - backorders don't get the rebate.
    And if you end up with 30 mice and $57, send me one ;-)

    • ScaryZombie on 24/05/2012 - 19:01
