    I wonder if this is tax deductible

      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

        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.

        • formulated on 26/09/2023 - 00:52

          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?

        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.

      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.

  • urahara on 25/09/2023 - 08:58

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

    Edit:

    Can you use two gift cards in one transaction online?

    • nicholasv on 25/09/2023 - 09:10
      +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

      • myb89 on 25/09/2023 - 10:43

        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

        • nicholasv on 25/09/2023 - 10:56
          +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

          • Circly on 25/09/2023 - 11:02

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

            For online purchase.

            • nicholasv on 25/09/2023 - 11:04

              @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

          • myb89 on 25/09/2023 - 11:03

        • theknight27 on 25/09/2023 - 18:22

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

          • Wonderfool on 25/09/2023 - 18:34

            @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.

        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..

    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

    • ozbagends on 25/09/2023 - 10:10

        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

    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.

    • zzyss on 25/09/2023 - 13:44

      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.

      • jjsu on 25/09/2023 - 15:39

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

    • Maxi Pad on 25/09/2023 - 15:29

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

      • jjsu on 25/09/2023 - 15:37

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

      • zzyss on 25/09/2023 - 16:02

        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).

  • zzyss on 25/09/2023 - 13:55

    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

  • Teh White Mamba on 25/09/2023 - 14:40

          $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.

  • wmatch on 25/09/2023 - 14:45

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

  • Yafuturefavorite on 25/09/2023 - 16:16

    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

    • Yafuturefavorite on 25/09/2023 - 16:16

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

    • Matt89 on 25/09/2023 - 17:34

      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…

    • McSquintus on 25/09/2023 - 18:13

      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.

      • txn25 on 26/09/2023 - 17:19

        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?

  • djohn7 on 25/09/2023 - 21:07

    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

    • shmoney on 26/09/2023 - 16:52

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

    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!

  • Matt89 on 01/10/2023 - 12:35

    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
