  • I wonder if this is tax deductible

    • +3

      Anything is if you can justify/prove it

      • if its under the benchmarks for your nomiated profession and five years have passed, you can relax.

    • +20

      Stream on Twitch, declare your income from streaming to 8 viewers average (2 subscribers - your mum and yourself), declare this purchase, get tax back. Sounds like a win to me

      • +1

        haha clever thinking, but this wont work. The ATO would argue that it's a hobby and the income not assessable. Therefore any tax deduction associated with that non-deductible.

        • Could you be dodgy and donate your own income via other accounts to claim that it's more than a hobby?

          Say you run a bar, buying a TV to use there would be a business expense yeah? Why not a PS5 too?
          Office owner buying a console for the break room?

          (I'm not going to do any of this, I don't have $669 to start with).

      Absolutely… you must be able to get Excel on this thing?

    • Yes if you are a Gamer :)

    • if you're a surgeon, yes.

    • If you're a professional gamer and earn income from it u could

  • Why so cheap

    • +6

      2 deals stacking and there's maybe a PS5 slim/pro model in the future

      • +1

        Sony jacked up the prices of PSN access too. So the cheaper initial cost to hook people into the online system which they used to do for free.

  • Great timing as the scene might just be taking off.

  • +9

    HOLD

    • +14

      holding strong for playstation 7 pro plus

    • My thoughts too, but shit this is tempting…

    • +1

      I'm with you, but then I saw a pretty compelling counterargument that said Sony would have to be epic-level stupid to announce a new console right before the holiday season unless they had stock ready to go, but given announcements by component suppliers (e.g. AMD) on their supply levels and shipments, there's buckley's of that.

      More likely they're trying to push hardware units now to spur software sales through the holiday period.

  • Cheapest so far IMO

    • +4

      Cheapest isn’t an opinion. Something is either objectively the cheapest or not.

      I think what you meant to say was…

      Cheapest so far that I know of

      • +1

        Yeah, especially with five finger discounts.

  • +2

    How long does it take to get the gift cards? Or are they instant?

    Edit:
    Also max load amount is $500?
    Can you use two gift cards in one transaction online?

    • +3

      You'll need to swap one of them for an Eb gift card and then you should be fine to use a gift card and one of the ultimate gift cards for the balance

      • Sorry mate, why does one of the ultimate GCs need to be swapped for an EB GC? Does EB only allow one third party gift card per txn or sth? Thx in advance

        • +2

          The gift card will be used as a if it is a bank card, so they won't let you split it online so you'll need to swap for an ebgames gift card with one of the ultimate gcs. This is for online only of course, in store I am sure it'll be fine to split over 2 cards

          • @nicholasv: How to swap an ultimate gift card for eb games gift card?

            For online purchase.

            • @Circly: Not sure if it is an option on the ultimate gift card website, but possibly there. Otherwise you can try to buy an ebgames gift card on ebgames website and use one of your ultimate gcs to pay for it. If that doesn't work, then buying an ebgames gift card in store is your last option

          • @nicholasv: Thanks for the clarification

    • +2

      Took ~10 mins or so to arrive in my email inbox

      Assuming you don't encounter the transaction failed issue like a lot of us did (try using a different card to pay if this happens)

  • +4

    Imagine if you're one of the people that paid $1k + for one of these.

    • Claim on 28 degrees card

      • +1

        $1k+ were prices from resellers, 28 degrees won't help

      I'm sure they've happily been playing games while you've been on the sidelline twidling your thumbs.

      • +1

        No, still playing games lol. Still plenty of choices.

        You guys act like ps5 exclusive are the only games out there lol.

        • Not OP, but PS4/PS5 exclusives have been almost of the best games I've played in the last 5 years.

          • @theknight27: It possibly could be, but I'm sure there's also plenty of other best games of the last 5 years you can play outside of Sony exclusives as well.

            Plus, those best games aren't going anywhere, if anything, they'll come to you in a year afterwards like all Sony games.

      • +3

        As if 'twiddling your thumbs' isn't the whole action of gaming :p

    • +5

      Guess it depends on how much you value years of enjoyment before the price drop.

      • This! I bought it off JB drop on last Friday with 15% gift cards (basically less than $10 difference in total) but I've enjoyed it just over the weekend far more than $10 worth! Loving it, would have bought earlier but wasn't at the top of the buying list at the time..

  • +5

    Does the Series X ever go on sale?

  • +2

    Looks like my level 5 is still active for the moment before it drops back to level 4 this month. If anyone wants it for 25% trade ins, you know the deal. DM me

    • +1

      And the reverse is true for me. After Davos reverts to 4, HMU as I'm a new 5.

    • +1

      How does trade in work if I use your card? My eb games checks my ID

  • +4

    Im interested in their trade-in deal: $449 if you trade in a PS4 slim + 2 games (Thats makes the trade-in worth $220)

    I assume EB are very selective with which 2 games can be traded in? Can't imagine Im getting that deal trading in FIFA 21 and FIFA 20

    • +4

      I believe the games have to have at least $10 trade in value

      • +1

        Interesting…. I have games EB currently sell pre-owned for $44, $24 and $19. I think i'd be fortunate to get $10 per game for 2/3 of those

  • Tempting. Has anyone successfully bought one using UCD via EB games? Buy it online or in-store?

    • yes, i able to purchase a $300 plus layby item

      • In store?

        • yes, i setup the layby online and paid in store.

  • +1

    Did this last year with multiple EB games gift cards and got PS5 for ~$600. The store employee was very patient. Can recommend these cards as I got them very quickly and the swap was very easy.

    • +1

      When I got my PS4 I had been using the coke label rewards thing to get JB gift cards and had some from my birthdays too. I think I used 27 gift cards in one transaction, the receipt was a mile long.

  • I know the image shows a disc slot, but it's the disc version not the digital one right ?

    • +1

      It's the disc version.

      • Thanks had to make sure :)

  • Too many deals on ps5 console, any ps5 pro on the way??

    • Slim before a Pro.

  • +1

    For anyone interested, there is also a current Level V trade offer at EB Games.

    Trade your Xbox Series X and 2 eligible games (includes PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Switch and 3DS) and get a PS5 Disc Edition free.

    • +2

      Yeah was gonna say now that everyone and their dog has price matched, this is the actual deal here. Also:

      PS4 + 2 games: $449
      Switch + 2 games: $399

      Plus whatever bonus trade value you get from your EB World level.

      • Its better than their normal trade deals because its not limited to the usual PS5, XSX or Switch eligible games.

    • Assuming this is only available for members at level 'V'?

      • I believe so, it was only shown in the Level V Facebook group

      • I think the trade deal is available for everyone, but the specific amount you have to make up for the PS5 might differ (i.e. the "free" PS5 for trading in an XBX might just be for L5, and a lower level member might still have to pay a gap).

  • FWIW instead of a hardware discount, in the US they're offering a free digital game through their "Upgrade program"
    https://wccftech.com/ps5-upgrade-program/

    So wondering whether the deal might get sweeter still for the HODLers

  • anybody happened to have checked with EB what they are currently giving for trade in on a ps4 pro?

    • Yes just traded mine in.

      • Do you mind sharing how much you had to pay to upgrade?

        • +1

          $404.50 after trading in PS4 Pro with HDMI, power cable, USB cable and controller. Then also added any two games ($25 worth each). I have a Level 3 EB Games membership, I think that also helped.

  • Do we have to go in-store to get this deal? I can only add 1 Gift card to checkout on the EB website

  • +2

    So I just traded my ps4 pro & got this deal

    They gave me $180 trade in plus $25 for each game. I traded two games, however they said it could of been ANY games ..

    I also had 4 controllers - which were pretty average condition - and they gave me $12 each for those.

    So that was about $278 value !

    Very happy with my deal

    • +1

      They also didn’t test ANY of the stuff .. it could of easily been broken tbh

    • So the PS4 Pro + 2 games got you $230. The advertised deal essentially offers $220 for a PS4 Slim + 2 Games.

      Considering EB Games sells the refurbished PS4 pro for $50 more than the refurbished (500GB) Slim, that seems like a decent deal for anyone looking to trade up their Slim.

      "ANY" games is also very interesting. I've got a few that i'd consider worthless…

    • Did the same, traded my PS4 Pro + 2 games and got $230 credit. One of the games was FIFA 15 (sealed) which EB said was worth 15c trade-in normally. Just make sure they have stock before you go.

      • I think you got super lucky here. Just gave my store a call and the games have to have a trade in value of at least $10 (which is what the policy has always been).
        Can you tell us which store you went to?

  • +1

    Just went around today and did this trade in on lvl 3 membership.
    PS4 slim + 9 games = $335 credit
    Paid the gap with ultimate gift card so cost about $285

    • Mind if i ask what games you traded in?

      • +1

        Tlou 1&2, RE3, wolfenstein 2, BL3, mass effect andromeda, Star Wars fallen order, rdr2 and GOW ragnarok

  • Can someone tell me how to tell if my PS4 is a slim model? I am happy to do the trade in with a few old games but unsure what to look for (it's for my son and don't want to flag with him as it'll be a surprise). Thanks

    • just google what a ps4 slim looks like and compare it to yours. all 3 offerings of the ps4 each look pretty distinct.

  • +1

    Traded in my switch + a couple of old xbox one games today, got the ps5 for $372 with the lvl 2 bonus. Paid for the rest, as well as $200 in playstation bux with an ultimate gift card. Pretty happy with all that!

  • +1

    I traded my PS4 Slim today and the trade-in deal (i.e. to pay $449 for the PS5) was getting $170 for the PS4 and $25 each for ANY 2 games. This turned out to be a great deal for me because i traded in 2 old versions of FIFA that were worth about 40 cents in total
