CamelCamelCamel.
Get some cheap games - you'll have a bit of fun. Even download some free playable demos from the PSN store to 'try before you buy' - or don't buy, whatever.
Wow Guys this is such an awesome deal compared to all the other expensive ones going around Australia. Can someone fill me in on the blanks.. like if I need any other accessories to make this work and about how much Oz dollars is this gonna cost including the postage? Also has anyone here bought this deal yet and if so how did they find the service?
So do we need to buy anything extra so it can work in Australia? Also is this in english. Do the controllers come with a charger?
lol, the controller is charged via a usb cable to the controller (there is a in built battery in the ps3 controller) which comes with the box
Great im definately gonna buy me one now! Thanks!!
pro tip: check through your old appliances, to see if you got any unused figure 8 cables, or maybe raid a op shop to see if you can pick one up cheap and quick
Hot dang I just found this deal on Gumtree "Ps3 slim 120Gb 7 Games, 1 Control and DJ Hero Deck, COD Modern Warfare 2 & 3, DJ Hero, DJ Hero 2, Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Distruction, Resistance 2, Sniper: Ghost Warrior. Great condition for $225 " from the photo looks to be in good condition….any thoughts or advice on this? Im really tempted to because those game are what im just looking for and it seems like it's a very reasonable price but the only problem is it is from a Qld address and i live in SA so I can't pick it up and check to see if it's in working condition.
Beware, you might get a trifecta of complimentary yellow LED lights with the console :P
Anyone got a shipped status? Mine is just showing as printing soon.
shipping soon rarther lol
How do you check the status? Darn I wish I knew German
Hey guys anyone live in South Australia?? I dont know if its at other EB stores but the EB at Ingle Farm shopping centre is having a pretty decent sale for games. I just picked up :
$36 = Batman Arkham City, Red Dead Redemption (GOTY)
$32 = Asura's Wrath
$28 = Infamous 2 (Platinum Edition)
$23 = Borderlands (GOTY), Fallout New Vegas
$19 = Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
$18 = Bayonetta
$15 = Fallout 3, Dragon Age Origins
$13 = Saint's Row 2
All these games apart from Batman, Red Dead Redemption, Infamous 2 and Borderlands were Pre Owned so if you don't have a problem with that then it's definitely a deal you should check out !!
P.S It finishes till the end of July !!
P.P.S I still don't even have a Ps3 yet but I just couldn't help myself =P
These are fairly average prices. Enjoy sitting on your bum for the next 2 months getting through all of them, but I don't think that will be an issue as you live in SA.
Blame it on impulse buying lol! But yeah honestly EB games price are never even remotely what I'd call affordable and so when I saw how much they cut price's down compared to their usual prices I was like "Meh I might as well"
At the end of June and first week of July JB-Hifi were doing 2 for $40 + 20% off (so $32 for 2 games). I snapped some up after buying the $229 PS3 from KMart.
They had a pretty good selection, all brand new and not pre-owned. Red Dead Redemption, GTAIV, Assassins Creed 2, AC:Brotherhood, Mass Effect 2, Deus Ex:Human Revolution etc. were all $16.
I think they usually do it about 2-3? times a year.
Wow thanks for making me feel like a chump now !!
I actually went to my JB-HiFi just then but it was pretty expensive atm….Can anyone tell me if Skyrim Brand New for $40 is a good price?? Saw it selling at Big W under the must clear section
Just got an update in german! here is the translation

That's great news!! Pretty fast considering you just ordered only 2 days ago .
Got my tracking number :) Sent via DHL germany
If anybody in Brisbane has buyer's remorse I would be happy to buy it for the original price.
If its of any interest to you I still have my pre order from target for $248 for the 160gb ps3 console, I haven't been notified if its in stock yet but hopefully will be soon, I was planning on buying it from target and using this console from this deal.
Happy to sell you the console I receive from target for the same price?
Price dropped again to EUR 214.97. Now approx $229 inclusive of delivery
How do you get to that amount? I get $253.
Never mind - found my mistake.
Damm commbank.. just checked my bank,
20/07/2012 INTNL TRANSACTION FEE (details) $6.62
20/07/2012 Amazon EU AMAZON.DE
Got charged this fee! I buy from amazon UK and don't get charged fees.. what gives
I looked at my previous comments on page one and noticed my original statement showed $228.17 Guessing the currency changed abit over the last few days or somthing
well another thing i dont 'need' that ozbargain is responsible for hahah
got 320gb plus extra controller and gran turismo came to 271 on my 28 degrees.. going to go well with my sony tv and sony hifi ozbargain is also responsible for
It's showing EUR 265.08 exclude VAT on the website for that bundle. Don't know how you got 271, is it in AUD or EUR?
Edit: Oh i see, you don't use bundle deal but add them separately.
Is there a way to make the site translate to english?, cant see how to apply to get the VAT off
use google chrome it does the work all for you ;)
Been tracking my item from DHL website,
Latest update,
Wed, 25.07.12 14:00 h
IPZ-Ffm, Germany
The shipment will be transported to the destination country and, from there, handed over to the delivery organization. (Homepage / online shipment tracking: http://auspost.com.au/track/)
Guessing no more tracking after it arrives in Australia?
no
bugger lol
although last time I ordered it gave delivery confirmation and/or directed me to the nearest post office
Anyone received theres yet?
nope. still waiting here. (ordered on the 18th)
Same I can only gather it will show up soon because it says it left germany on the 20th, but then because it goes to Aus Post no more tracking is provided.. I would of thought DHL would of delivered the item ? Because we have DHL here in australia..
See my previous post, took 1 month for my Vita to arrive.
When it doesn't arrive after the expected date 6th Aug I'll start to rant :P
Mine left on 21/7 and into the ether, hope it comes within the next 3 weeks as it is a gift for my son's b'day!
Where did u get the expected date from?
The amazon "Your Recent Orders" Section
Just received mine today. Delivered by Aus post van, and I needed to sign.
You guys should receive yours soon.
Excited I tried to put the tracking info into the auspost website but it says item not trackable!
Awesome I also ordered on the same day as you (18th)
And I live in melbourne too so it should be today or tomorrow :)
Got mine today, the packaging was crap, big box with some scrunched up paper on the two sides of the PS3 box. Hope it is not damaged, I don't want to open as it is a gift for my son's b'day at the end of the month.
Hope mine arrives today!
so has it arrived?
Not yet! Maybe today.. I Hope.. !
I'm getting worried…mine hasn't arrived yet and it's already the 9th of August..
Any ideas how to follow it up??
mine just arrived in au this afternoon, they sent it from germany on the july 21. so that would another couple days again until i can play it. wonder if i can claim back the shipping cost for late delivery. i had that done when i ordered from amazon uk.
let us know if you do…it is ozbargain after all
Mine arrived at my office today.
Also, there is an additional bonus for those who have not yet ordered one. You can order to games and save an additional 40 Euro.
So the PS3, Battlefied 3 and Mass Effect 3 come to $274.34 delivered to Australia. That's a pretty damn good price!
Got a link or more info on how to get this?
Shipping is coming up as 28.99euro for me. How are you guys getting ~14?
Amazon shipping policy changed recently. When deal was posted postage was a flat rate of 14 Euro for this. Now they charge by actual weight, hence the 28 Euro.
"Life punishes those that come late" ;-)
Has anyone else NOT received their PS3 yet? starting to get worried.
Same here….still waiting
Just got it today!
As expected…DVD region is locked to Europe.
Everything else seems to be working fine :)

The shipment has arrived in the destination country
Taken awhile, so hopefully should arrive by Wednesday.
I had the same thing on my tracking on Thursday. Got it today.YAY!
thanks for that info, was getting worried since it said its estimated date was the 6th.
same here..you'll be one happy guy tomorrow
except I have uni and no one's home. :(
I had work and in the excitement orders to home rather than work. But I found it in the house today so someone from my sharehouse must have signed for it?
I'm still waiting! this has been a lonnngggg time since I purchased now.. =(
how long have you been waiting?
Ordered July 20th

The shipment is being prepared for delivery in the delivery depot
Missed them yesterday. Please come soon…
Got the slip and just got it. Awesome
Can people post how long it has taken to receive their goods rather than just pointing out that they got it, it would be much appreciated. Thanks
I ordered it on july 31st.
My estimated delivery was the 6th of August.. still no sign of it :(
If so, call customs. I am sure it has been in Australia for a while now and it is being held up in Oz. I have seen how quickly DHL delivers things abroad. Typically at most 3 days anywhere in the world - then it is up to the local postal service/partner/DHL.
Thanks, I'll give that a try.
I'm thinking of just getting one at JB hifi at the current price with my 28 Degrees credit card (shoppers protection) and then claiming back the difference when they put it on special for Christmas / new year.
Mine took a week to get here, normal posting, not express.
I do not think you will get a deal as low as $228 for the 320GB but otherwise it is a great idea if JB Hifi do that after such a long time.
thanks mate
for those who havent received it yet.

Hey, if it wont be too much trouble.
Do you mind taking a photo of the 'power source thingymajiggy' that wont work in Australia?
I'm not techy enough to understand what they were referring to when it came to the description.
Is it just the wall socket?
If you cant be bothered, all good :)

There you go! I have attached next to the cable the adapter you'll need if your using this cable
thanks!
My shaver uses that cable. My as well use that when not charging it.
I've got mine yesterday too, exactly 1 month. User's manual is in all languages but English. Anyone got links to an English user manual?
http://www.playstation.com/manual/pdf/PS3-02_03-1.5_2.pdf
It's even in colour! that's a bonus because the one they ship with AU consoles is in black and white !
use it as a gratuitous blu ray or dvd player lol
