Gday.
Missed the Amazon deal the other day, was looking around and saw it for $88 at Harvey Norman.
I was able to Price Match at JBHiFi just 5 minutes ago and pre-ordered via JB instead for $88.
Edit for clarification: can't use perks voucher to bring this down unfortunately, won't apply to Pre-Orders.
Rather not be a sheep to greed and preorder
Luckily I snagged a copy during the amazon deal but because im in new zealand it will arrived 3 days late :(
Just buy it from your local store on day of release and refund the amazon one to your local store unopened.
Stores in new zealand dont often allow returns
I’m scarred because of Cyberpunk :/
Can we use perks to bring it down further?
Can't use perks on a pre order.
$6 for delivery. That sucks.
Does perks work in bringing this down to $78?
unfortunately no
:(
Where the woke peeps at?
Did they force anything woke in this story? The trailer was subtle but I think it’s fantasy died a while ago, just sheep’s trying hype it
Na that isn't the concern, the "woke peeps" are butt hurt af that their arch nemesis J.K Rowling is going to get royalty cheques from the sales of this game… As she has committed the crime of believing that biological males are Men, no matter how they choose to present themselves outwardly.
And you, being totally a non-sheep and having a degree in everything from the University of Small D*ck Energy's YouTube campus, applaud their right to freedom of expression and freedom of association as well as the triumph of informed consumer choices in a free market, right?
Right?
@GrueHunter: I have no objection to any of that… You are correct.
A point on freedom of expression though, it goes both ways, so people are free to live out their fantasy and Rowling is free to not live in their fantasy world.
@Binchicken22: Hypocritical.
the "woke peeps" are butt hurt af that their arch nemesis J.K Rowling
You have an issue with the "woke peeps" exercising their freedom of expression.
"Goes both ways"… right, except that it's not applicable to you.
@brotherfranciz: How so? I am just explaining the situation.
Where's the lie?
"Woke peeps" are bhaf that JK Rowling is going to profit from this game.
Rowling hasn't bent the knee to the trans throne, so giving her a little extra money isn't woke. I think if you love Harry Potter then you're only hurting yourself by not getting this game no matter what you identify as. What can Rowling do with 1.4 billion that she can't do with 1 billion? Makes absolutely no difference.
PSN Turkey has this for ~$85 digital download.
Yeah, but "digital". I would rather sell and recoup most of my money after I am done. For $3 more for physical, its a no-brainer
But yes, beats AUD digital pricing
How would j buy from PSN turkey when i already have an account? Would i have to create a new account?
Yeh you do. But you can use that new account just to download/buy stuff to the console then play on your main PSN account. I have a Thailand account on my PS5 which I used once to get a theme that was free on their PSN.
Just bought the deluxe edition PS4 on Amazon for $78.
Comes out 2 months later though
I know but I only have a PS4 pro :(
Will be $30 in a few months, $20 next year. And next year, all the issues, bugs and glitches will be fixed. Same thing with Witcher 3, all open world games have a lot of issues that get fixed with more usage.
Be a true bargainer, buckle down, hibernate and wait till next year to get 80% off
Some people think it's worth paying extra to play a game earlier that they're really excited about.
If everyone bought games at $20 they wouldn't make any more games like this…
But maaaaaaaaaa, I waaaaant it nooooooooooooooooowwww
Or buy it at launch for $88, finish it quickly and then sell it whilst its still a new game and the standard retail price is high. That way you get to play the brand new game for the same price as waiting a year.
I highly doubt it will go low that quickly.
The game is in high demand. It's going to be huge. It will stay above $60 for a while I think. Over a year imo
This ain't Nintendo game
By mid year and end of the year the game would be already half price or lower.
It's a single player game with no co-op. Unless they commit onto giving regular updates the game won't stay above $60 by end of the year
So will a 2022 Tesla in 2032. What's your point?
Most go on sale enough to wait, some few don't if they are successful enough.
Or buy at launch with a credit card that has 12 months price protection.
You get the most value out of games when the hype is high imo.
Might wait until this comes to Game pass or playstation plus.
I get the feeling this game is the next fallout76.
Hit the bargain bin within 4 weeks for $7 and start adding cosmetics microtransactions.
I hope you are totally wrong as I am big fan of HP, and the last HP game I played on PC was very good. This one looks very promising.
Its 79 on amazon
Oh wait never mind is for normal edition.
But series x is still available deluxe for 88 on amazon.
Thanks for convincing me to buy it
I dont want queer people to not exist i support them but i also should be allowed to play whatever video games i want which is why i ordered the ps5 deluxe edition becuase im excited not becuase i hate queer people why are you trying to take out all of the good from a cool game releasing that people have been waiting years for
Crazy world when a billionaire uses their money to open a shelter for females instead of for "women" is considered fascism. Scotland still has the same number of shelters open to people identify as women as before, it just now has one extra one for females, and it is even open to transmen. The woke folk are fine with single gender spaces, but a single sex space blows their fragile minds.
Exactly the same logic used as if she'd opened a white woman only shelter in the 40's. Unscientific and completely fabricated 'concerns' about women sharing space with trans women, just as racists would fabricate BS superficial concerns about white women sharing space with black women to justify weaponising their archaic, bigoted beliefs against a minority.
More shelters isn't necessarily better if the main reason she's setting it up is to normalise discrimination against trans women. If you don't believe that's her main motivation, maybe step into the transphobic hellhole that is her entire social media presence now. It is by miles her most important ideological project. She wrote long, terrible book just to demonise trans women.
What's wrong with having a shelter just for females? There's plenty of problems that are unique to cis women and trans men, such as pregnancy, ovarian cancer, etc. What's the big deal about having a female only place? It doesn't even exclude transmen. If an ovarian cancer specialist volunteered there then it would benefit every single person in the shelter. Being female is just as valid a group of people to help as women are. It seems to be that some trans people and trans allies want to completely erase the concept of sex/females, which is sexphobia if you ask me. Acknowledging the existence of females does not harm the concept of women, but Rowling has concerns about the concept of a females being destroyed and it really does seem that some people want to completely erase the concept of a female in the minds of the public. You don't need to throw the concept of a female in the trash to acknowledge that transwomen are women. I think transwomen already know they aren't biologically female, that's the entire point of being transgender, your gender identity not matching your biological sex. Gender and sex are different things and Rowling is concerned that if we completely erase the concept of sex and only use gender concepts that we will be losing something important.
Not available for click and collect anywhere near Sydney CBD…
It'll show out of stock everywhere for now because it's a Pre Order but going through checkout with a pickup option should still be allowed.
Looks to be 79.99 on Amazon now same as Mighty Ape with postage
That's the normal edition yeah? Deluxe is out of stock ps5 deluxe currently.
Ahh yes you're correct, see that now
I couldnt do the price match because of Pre-order bonus:
"I'm afraid we are not able to offer a price match with Harvey Norman today
This is due to our JB preorder coming with an exclusive DLC bonus code which they do not have, meaning the products are not like for like.
I'd be happy to process and order for you today online if you'd like , however it won't be a price match.."
Bummer, could try dif rep but cant be bother 30mins waiting time.
Strange. Looks the same to me? They'd only maybe say that if you tried to match the pin/badge set? But even then that's not a different code.. Weird.

This one has Onyx Hippogriff mount and Felix Felicis Potion Recipe
HN only has Onyx Hippogriff mount
Tbh Im fine with $79 normal edition from amazon.
I just tried and got a price match no problem. Probably just depends on the staff member you get. I reckon try again.
I tried again and got pushback straightway initially , after couple of minutes, rep come back and said he got new information regarding this, it was just a miscommunication before and give me the price match.
Weird but Im ok with that.
Great. Good job! I would have thought a preorder bonus from a store isn't a different product, but just a reward for ordering with them. Sounds like the right decision was made in the end.
Price matched with JB live chat just now.
But it seems their chat only starts at 10am, not 9am as stated on their website.
I just tried to chat with them and they said they didn’t price match preoders. Wahhhhh
Just try again it will work eventually
Agreed, just got it priced matched online.
