Looks like a lot of clearance happening to this website.
Game consoles are on sales as well.
The banners of frontpage may have something you are interested in.

Sorry, I missed the Term and Condition when I felt so excited about the price

"Buy 1 Seagate 2tb HardDrive for $99 when you spend OVER $300 or more (Special HDD Price not counted towards $300 Value) on one invoice for a limited time ONLY!
Only one Harddrive (500gig, 1tb or 2tb) per $300
ONLY ONE HDD PER CUSTOMER PER INVOICE"

Mod: Edited title for clarity

Computing 2TB Computer Component Hard Drive Seagate

    not too bad, picked up four WD equivalents at $118/ea a few weeks back, but couldn't wait for delivery or a better deal

    • lostn on 14/07/2012 - 01:13

      Would that be a black or a green?

    • ShrewdOrJustTight on 14/07/2012 - 11:24

      lol.. but you didn't have to spend $300 to save $19. times that by four and you would have had to spend $1200 to buy the drives at $99.

  • Bot_1 on 13/07/2012 - 23:36

    Nice deal! Great to see 2tb's below 100 bucks

    • Ace on 14/07/2012 - 01:46

      Minimum spend $300, +$99 for the HDD & limit 1 per customer..

  • After Dark on 13/07/2012 - 23:44

    Some good prices but it seems the HDD prices are only if you spend over $300 - or am I reading that wrongly ?

    • Jon187 on 13/07/2012 - 23:51

      Nope - that's what I read also.

    Not to kill the fun or anything guys, but do a google search on them…they have quite the reputation here in Brisbane lol

      lol plenty of stuff on whirlpool

      • StewBalls on 14/07/2012 - 01:13

        Yep, I can corroborate the horror stories, I've had a major run-in with them…total tools! Unrepentant bait & switch is their stock-in-trade too, IME.

        Avoid like the plague! ;)

    lol this is a giant Harvey Norman style scam

    spend $300 save a few bucks on a bare drive

    or buy a $99 seagate expansion external, open it for the same drive

  • elamo on 14/07/2012 - 00:00

    This is not the correct price for the hard drives by them selves. You have to spend over $300 to get them at that price. This 'deal' has been going for a while and I think it's dodgy of gamedude because they come up first on static ice for their hard drives but the catch is the $300 minimum spend.
    I won't neg because the front page has lots of stuff that could ve deals but a change in title should be done.

    • izzeho on 14/07/2012 - 00:50

      It's also not technically $300 spend, as HDD isn't counted toward total. So minimum $400 for this drive.

  • [Deactivated] on 14/07/2012 - 00:01

    Not as good as the $90something WD My Book Essential 2TB I got at a DSE closing down store this week

    not a bargain, bad PC Store as well.

  • StewBalls on 14/07/2012 - 01:29

    The minimum spend without counting the actual product negates this as a bargain IMHO…even without going into gamedude being serial scumbags. I therefore hereby proffer one neg vote! ;)

    • Windows7forever on 14/07/2012 - 09:21

      I know. It is only a hard drive for god's sale. These were a dime a dozen before the terrible floods. Scarcity makes greater demand.

  • zealmax on 14/07/2012 - 02:54

    These are good hdd. Performance is great. I believe these are 1tb platters highest areal density drives you can get at the moment. I have 3. Make aure you do the firmware update if not at the latest code. They make intermittent chirping noise with out firmware update.

    • perkinma on 14/07/2012 - 09:50

      Not sure this is the case. I believe that there are two platter (1TB per platter) drives but also three platter (700GB per platter) drives around both with exactly the same model number, see here for info - http://forums.seagate.com/t5/Barracuda-XT-Barracuda-Barracud….

      Plus there are reports the firmware update does not fix the chirp, only makes it quieter so it is less noticeable but does not fix the performance hit the drive takes whenever the chirp occurs (heads park).

      Plus finally there is a branch of firmware (CC9x) that has been hung out to dry as it can not be updated regardless whereas the CC4x firmware branch can be updated (even if it may not fix the problem).

  • sonicentropy on 14/07/2012 - 06:50

    Yep my own experience with them is not so great, ordered some hardware for a mate PC who lives around the corner and found they were trying to Palm off used parts as new. Avoid like herpies

  • Windows7forever on 14/07/2012 - 09:23

    It might be an alright deal if you are considering to buy a new laptop or something expensive but the $300 minimum purchase policy really blows. It's only a stupid harddrive.

  • montorola on 14/07/2012 - 11:34

    With Gamedude, it's NEVER an "alright" deal lol

  • foobar on 14/07/2012 - 12:43

    Bought from them a few times and ended up getting shafted on warranty for one item, can't remember what it was exactly it was so long ago.

    I haven't been to their "new" location, but I've been near it and the place was a ghost town, no one going near it. I guess if you burn enough people, sooner or later there's no-one left. How they're still operating is a mystery.

    I can't imagine they've changed their ways, would suggest that you spend your money elsewhere, even if it does cost you a bit more it'll be worth it to avoid dealing with this slime.

    This is like having to buy an elephant while all you want is a kitten.

      White elephant maybe?
