Banger of a deal; I ended up cancelling the Q700B for this.
From what I can see, it's the lowest so far.
Enjoy guys!

It goes 50-60% when it's run out. Same with TVs
Fantastic deal, pretty much renders the 930 useless lmfao.
I would agree to that, almost pulled the plug on 930 last night when I posted the ad, lucky didn't do it.
almost pulled the plug on 930 last night when I posted the ad, lucky didn't do it.
so you did pull the plug. LOL
just fyi you used the phrase incorrectly. Literally means the opposite of what your context suggestsI realised after I posted the ad and then I couldn't be bothered:P
I think he meant to say 'pulled the trigger'
Highly recommend
What floor stands are people using for the rears?

I found a pair of these for $50 on FB marketplace when I got mine a year ago
For my 930C with the rear speakers, I went for these as they were cheap and tall (I have a high backed couch), only $99: https://www.wagneronline.com.au/speaker-stands-pair/speaker-…
I got my eye on these, in the white, suits my room.

Oh looooooovely, very good to know, thanks mate!
Couple of kmart "candle stands" lmfao. Most of the speaker specific stands I have found were pretty ugly or way over priced.
Wtf. I sold my q950a (2021 model) for 850.
This is a pretty good deal!This is the Q990B btw, not 990C. Still amazing price
I am glad you read the title correct
It's worth making this point clear so it's not misleading with the newer version advertised on sale quite often.
What's the difference between the two and which one is considered better?
https://www.reddit.com/r/Soundbars/comments/139fbph/any_hard…
If you have the extra $200, 990c would probably go on sale for 999
Seems the C variant has a new chipset now includes a SmartThings radio with ZigBee and Matter support based on a comment in that thread, and some more ports as well as some big fixes.
@Trishool: I just realised 990c hasn't been under 1249 so for a $450 difference I can live with the B
Slightly improved auto room setup, connectivity, sub, and the big one for me (pets) is metal grilles on all speakers instead of fabric I think?
It's an incremental improvement, not a quantum model leap. The B will be fine for most.
B is still metal I think.
Plus a difference of $450 between the B and C.
Clearly the improvements aren't worth the cost as per current prices.
Good deal.. only problem is you have to deal with Samsung
Pay with Paypal and it's not that bad
any much difference between 990B and 990C ??
Is there a trick to buy this without .edu.au account?
nope
Is there some way of getting access when you don’t have the required email?
nope
…and it’s gone
that was a quick one.
that was rather quick. Someone probably ordered all available or not enough stock in the first place.
34 minutes was a good run, usually these go out on uber 10 mins.
It was probably a good thing I missed this one for the sake of my neighbours in my apartment building.
Was stuck verifying my student email… then it was gone. Surely they release some more stock before the 31st?
Could be better next time and be ready with an activated account. EDU account is a must for OZBs
Yep, although on the bright side I saved $800 for Black Friday
what a deal. got my 990C for $1245 given how close the 990B sounds to it would of gotten this for $799 instead.
Fallback if very keen and don't need the additonal speakers, still a great price: https://www.samsung.com/au/multistore/samsung_education_au/p…
My 930B just arrived this afternoon after having ordered it back in july. $599.
Did Samsung just kept on rescheduling it?
Yup, I even stayed home from work 1 day for the delivery as the tracking messages and stuff came through, even the night before and the morning off. AND THEN cancelled because no stock.
But besides that constant contacting them to ask whats going on and every 2 weeks getting a automated email saying, they havent heard back from me regarding thje order so what should they do, whether it should be cancelled etc which was hilarious as it was usually me not hearing back from them.
I had changed the delivery address 2 months ago (August) and according to samsung and their website and even the samsung emails i got about my delivery today it had the updated delivery address. BUT the courier had the original delivery address from JULY!!!! WTF
Jesus! You should've been on that current affairs a few weeks ago.
If I don't get mine on time, I am going to charge back with PayPal straight away.
Anyone know if the key differences in practicality between Q990 and Q930 models?
Can see the different specs on line.. but am keen to understand what this means to the untrained ears.
It's acoupme of extra shttong speakers on the front bar.
On a general basis, it's not much difference.
I didn't even know my 990's had "acoupme extra shttong speakers" . I can't wait to tell my friends who own Bose and Sonos systems : ) . It sounds very impressive when you say it out loud.
Fat finger syndrome!
It will sound bougie if you say it like that to Bose and Sonos.
What I meant to say was it has a couple of extra shooting speakers that adds an extra channel.
In most cases you won't feel it.
Far out, stupidly good deal! Well done to those who scored. See, this is the kind of shit that triggers me about Samsung. You’ll most likely pay an exorbitant amount whilst others will sign up to a bogus free TAFE course and get it at half the price. I would never buy Samsung products from anywhere other than EDU/EPP/GOV again.
Mostly for run outs yes.
I scored a better deal at normal Samsung store for s23 ultra pre booking.
.in the last week, I have spend 5k at Samsung buying stuff worth over 10k retail.The more you buy more you save is the ideology these companies work on.
Not saying that I have not been lured into buying things I may not need. But I only buy electronics (replaced tv for OLED, washing machine bacuse it stopped working, good old Logitech speakers after 10 years for Bluetooth pairing) when I actually need them even if I have to pay more than deals on ozbargain. Not having to dump these white goods in a landfill is an added bonus.I like to upgrade very couple of years not nothing goes to waste. Facebook marketplace has been a great platform to sell items and replace with new from ozb :)
Why does a student need a soundbar and a sub woofer
DIY lecture theatre
some students have $$$
and people with access to EPP/govt/Westpac stores
Anyone have a screenshot of the website with that price listed?
I can give you my.orser screenshot but no one will pricematch as it's from education store.
Did anyone receive their order? Mine was cancelled due to stock issues.
Placed on 3rd, got cancelled and refunded on 12th oct
Luckily I didn’t cancel my 930b order when I placed for 990b. Hoping 990b go discount again..
How much did you pay for the 930
600, but if I could I’d prefer 990b at 800 aud, 930b hasn’t been delivered yet as I’m overseas atm so anything could happen.. hopefully not cancelled again.
930c half price now at 750 in edu
So I guess its unrealistic for me to hope for this price since no one actually receive their order.
Go for 930c, it's 749 right now. Other option is to wait a bit and 990c should be about a grand
I missed out on Q990b while it was $999 couple days ago, could've combined it with 10% edu discount making it $900. Not sure if I should just go for Q930C or wait, the reviews that I read Q990 provide big upgrade to Q930. What did you buy at the end?
I got the 990c, coated just over 1k with GCs from the good guys.
wow, bought this last year on-sale for $1330.
