20% of all iTunes cards.
Not as much discounts as HN 50%/25% off those deals sell out so fast.
In store there are no signs but when they scan it, it scans as 20% off, just bought one this afternoon.

It would be up to the store / cashier you get, I think. They can be very inconsistent.
The HN deal is now finished
Great idea to try and price match. Pity I just bought a couple online… oh well, still cheaper than cash.

Not really a bargain then, is it?
In store there are no signs but when they scan it, it scans as 20% off, just bought one this afternoon
So not an advertised sale? I'm sure they wouldn't try to play their way out of that one at all!
Criticising the deal because it isn't as good as HN's yet you still bought one?
I bought one? I don't recall doing that…?
And if a 'deal' isn't the cheapest price around, and there are no legitimate problems with the cheapest retailer (HN, in this case), then yes, I think it does warrant criticism (unless I'm convinced otherwise)
Goes onto ozbargain to look for deals.
Precisely, and I (and most other people) would rather that a bargain hunting site does not play host to postings that are not bargains (read: the cheapest / best price)
Complains about deals people post, when the OP is infact trying to help other people save money.
I'm not complaining about a deal, that's my point. The OP themselves stated there are cheaper prices around, and yet they, somehow, still consider this worthy of a post; how does that make them 'trying to help other people save money'?
If you're unfamiliar with what constitutes a bargain, perhaps you should give this a read over.
HN was only today, OW probably will last a bit longer.
True, but at the time of posting, this isn't the best price around. Besides, I only negged after seeing what thefunkygibbon said below; if the cards are always 20% off now, then this is doubly unworthy of being a bargain.
How about instead of complaining about posts (which people go out of their way for to save people like YOU money) you post some decent deals? You've posted a grand total of 5 'bargains' which have been rated poorly, yet you seem to just complain about the majority of posts on this site.
It's a community based website. No posts == no deals. I'm guessing you're one of those people that just EXPECTS to be informed of these bargains, and you EXPECT the absolute cheapest deal possible while BARELY contributing to this site.
Your entire attack on my character, an ever-so-obvious attempt to discredit my argument, is predicated on assumptions.
I'll address this first:
How about instead of complaining about posts (which people go out of their way for to save people like YOU money) you post some decent deals? You've posted a grand total of 5 'bargains' which have been rated poorly, yet you seem to just complain about the majority of posts on this site.
Complaining is a strong word, don't you think? The only thing I argue for is an adherence to the rules and guidelines set out by this website. You seem to assume that, because I am overly critical of a post's execution, I do not appreciate the effort went into creating it. I do, contrary to what you might believe, but I don't have to prove anything to you.
Yes, I have a grand total of 5 posts with poor ratings, and I commend your perception in noticing. There are also people who make no posts, and people who have hundreds; in terms of the community, there is no difference. Everyone here is equal, which means that everyone's opinions are equal. I find it laughable that, just because you've made a couple of popular posts, you think you have the market cornered on superiority. That kind of elitist attitude is generally not appreciated here.
It's a community based website. No posts == no deals. I'm guessing you're one of those people that just EXPECTS to be informed of these bargains, and you EXPECT the absolute cheapest deal possible while BARELY contributing to this site.
Again, nothing more than assumptions. I do not need to justify to you why I make few posts on OzBargain, and that, in no way, makes you superior to me. Your argument that people must make deal contributions here in order to have a voice is ludicrous. I do not contribute in the form of posts; I prefer to contribute to the community in the form of commenting. Does that not meet your perceived quota for valuable contribution?
Lastly, you seem to think that, because you're backed by the majority, your opinion is the 'right' one. In a community such as this, there is no 'right' opinion, and everyone is entitled to their own. Your attempts to bully me out of mine is idiotic, and reflects badly on you, if nothing else. Now may we stop acting like children, or are you not finished expressing your superiority complex?
I only negged after seeing what thefunkygibbon said
Then your neg voted has been removed.
BTW this is not criticsm of your comments and the discussions above, which you are welcome to share. Its only to do with the way you voted that is the issue.
- We havent been told that before, if this deal isnt seen or read by people. Ie if we got a lot more negative votes it would have disappeared off mosts radars and then what FG says would be missed.
- Thats not what your arguments above have been about.
- Not everyone can or wants to buy from Harvey Norman. If the deal is not suitable, just pass on it.
When did I explicitly, or even implicitly state that everyone here is not equal? Oh, that's right - I didn't. You have a nice little whinge about how my comment is based off assumptions yet you seem to be doing the same thing. I don't think I'm better than you, I just think you're a horrible person to neg a deal based off poor information then continue to support your argument that was flawed from the beginning.
Man you must be trolling, what I'm stating are facts. How is stating this website is based off community activity an assumption? You may not have much in the way of mental cognition, although as I said: no posts by users == no deals. Again, when did I implicitly or even explicitly state that you must post deals in order to comment? I stated that instead of bitching you go out and post some deals if you don't like them. This may come to a surprise to you, but complaining isn't exactly contributing to this website.
TL;DR: Dude I don't know why you're bothering to argue with me, if you're so butthurt in regards to my comment you feel the need to post something like this then go for it; I don't think anyone here is right/wrong - I just think what you're doing is smug, poor character and totally irrelevant since this IS a bargain.
So I guess your flawed argument is totally void now considering the mods agree that this is a bargain. I guess I'll close my argument with something childish such as: Now may we stop acting like children, or are you not finished expressing your superiority complex?
When did I explicitly, or even implicitly state that everyone here is not equal? Oh, that's right - I didn't.
You're implying it, by calling me a 'horrible person to neg a deal based off poor information' (among others), you're basically saying that because you don't think my argument is sound (and you have in no way proved that it is 'flawed'), I don't deserve to express it. That, and you constantly try to dismiss my arguments and opinions as 'complaining'. Oh, and exactly what is this poor information I've based my argument on? Do tell me, I'd love to know.
You have a nice little whinge about how my comment is based off assumptions yet you seem to be doing the same thing.
I've assumed nothing about you, personally, and yet you seem to be intent on painting me out to be the bad guy:
"I'm guessing you're one of those people that just EXPECTS to be informed of these bargains, and you EXPECT the absolute cheapest deal possible while BARELY contributing to this site."
So yes, your attacks on me are indeed based on assumptions.
And this:
Man you must be trolling, what I'm stating are facts.
Another example of how your argument supposedly holds more weight than mine. You are not stating facts, you are stating an opinion. Just because you think it's right, does not make your opinion 'fact'. Trying to dismiss my argument as trolling is also an attempt to make my argument seem less valid than yours.
How is stating this website is based off community activity an assumption?
That was one of the few parts of your argument that wasn't an assumption, and I never stated otherwise.
You may not have much in the way of mental cognition
Oh, more attacks on my character. Well done, solid argument right their.
Again, when did I implicitly or even explicitly state that you must post deals in order to comment?
Again, you were implying it. Just because you didn't 'explicitly state' it, which I've noticed you're placing great emphasis on, doesn't mean that you're not implying it. Bringing up my post count (and their low vote count) is implying that I don't deserve to 'complain', since according to you, I don't contribute enough. As I already stated, I contribute in the form of commenting, but I guess that's not good enough for you?
This may come to a surprise to you, but complaining isn't exactly contributing to this website.
I'm not complaining, as hard as it may be for you to believe. Nor am I 'whinging' or 'bitching'. This, is constructive criticism.
Dude I don't know why you're bothering to argue with me
I don't particularly enjoy having my character attacked for no good reason, and I do like an argument. Go figure. And I'm far from butthurt; you really don't have a good read on people, do you?
I don't think anyone here is right/wrong - I just think what you're doing is smug, poor character and totally irrelevant since this IS a bargain.
I find this amusing.
First you say no one here is right/wrong and then you state that 'this IS a bargain'. Not contradictory at all.
By the way, I fail to see how I have a 'smug, poor character'. Aside from that being your opinion, and your opinion only, I really don't think that posting my own opinion, in the form of constructive criticism, reflects badly on me. If anything, your constant attacks are symptomatic of a 'smug, poor character'.So I guess your flawed argument is totally void now considering the mods agree that this is a bargain.
My 'flawed' argument, eh? You never pointed out how my argument is actually flawed, you just keep saying that. All you've said has revolved around unfounded attacks at me, and how I should stop 'complaining' and post something of my own. My argument is not void, even if my neg was taken away.
I have a degree in computer science, logic and computation. Hence why arguing with you is doing my head in. Your argument was never sound in the first instance, yet you resort to continue with this ideology of how any given opinion is never wrong.
You lack basic logic, it is possible to have a wrong opinion.
Here's a simple counterexample: A Turing machine can accept an encoded version P of itself and return a result which is recursively enumerable. This is impossible, but I honestly believe it's true! Therefore, you can't say I'm wrong!
Okay, I'll address your fixation on why you believe your personal opinion "can't be wrong" - prove it to me. Why is this not a good deal?
You've failed to showcase this one point in all of your responses. You quote every single sentence of my response and respond with a paragraph of total bullshit which contains no significance into the original point of why you believe this isn't a bargain.

That is singularly irrelevant, and is a poor attempt at asserting your own intellectual superiority.

How, I ask you, how were my arguments never sound in the first place?
Despite having already posted my justifications in other comments (not related to this comment thread), I will summarise:
Point 1: This was not the cheapest price at the time of posting. This was plainly acknowledged by the OP.
Point 2: As stated by thefunkygibbon below, this appears to be OW's new standard pricing. Standard pricing does not constitute a deal.
Conclusion: though it may be useful to some people, this 20% off from OW is not a bargain .Here's a simple counterexample: A Turing machine can accept an encoded version P of itself and return a result which is recursively enumerable. This is impossible, but I honestly believe it's true! Therefore, you can't say I'm wrong!
Again, misrepresenting. I'll have to take your word on the Turing machine, but 'A Turing machine can accept an encoded version P of itself and return a result which is recursively enumerable.' is a fact. If you possess a belief that is directly opposed to a fact, then your belief is wrong.
An opinion is inherently subjective, so my opinion that this is not a deal cannot be false, because there is no objective fact that proves it otherwise.You've failed to showcase this one point in all of your responses.
The reason I didn't post my justifications in responses to your initial response -
"-Goes onto ozbargain to look for deals.
-Complains about deals people post, when the OP is infact trying to help other people save money.
Logic?" - is because I had already posted them. You never asked me to justify my position, you merely attacked and insulted, and attempted to discredit me, as opposed to calmly discussing my reasons.You quote every single sentence of my response and respond with a paragraph of total bullshit which contains no significance into the original point of why you believe this isn't a bargain.
I could say the same of your responses, given they do nothing but insult me. My reasons as to why this isn't a bargain were posted elsewhere in this comment section; but again, you never originally asked. You only insulted. Your responses have been all over the place, jumping erratically when one won't stick, but constantly returning to the attack that because I (to your standards) don't post enough, I don't have a right to comment with criticism. As I have said many times, this is just plain silly. I am not complaining, bitching, or whinging. As I have done for the past couple of years, I will post criticism if I find something wrong with the deal. If that isn't acceptable to you, well you're just going to have to live with that.
Now, are we done? I'm sure we both have better ways to be spending our Sunday.
I managed to get my OW to price match the Harvey Norman deal today. While I was waiting for them to key it all through they said it's a fantastic price. He said that the iTunes vouchers are now always 20% off at OW, so $50 card is $40, $20 card is $16.
i thought you can price match those HN deals?
