Legend
What was the Xbox deal?
Wasn't a deal, they had a really good June showcase of new games.
? Most Xbox games are coming to Playstation. If anything I have no idea why you'd buy an Xbox given that you get Playstation exclusives and most Xbox games on the Playstation.
Gamepass Xbox + PC?
Just gamepass PC in that situation and get a ps5 if you want a console. Far better combination - Xbox doesn't really have any strong games on its own to justify.
You have no idea what Xbox games are coming to PS5.
I don't, but if you keep up with the news it's pretty clear Microsoft is considering pushing every single game over. Xbox is really struggling and falling behind this generation.
They have almost no exclusives on their own worth buying a console for, so if they send over any other exclusives it's pretty much the full catalogue.
Hard to justify the PS5 Slim with the Pro coming out ready to blow it out of the water. Games will come and go on each console.

Switch OLED $357
Missed out on the PS5 by seconds (though didn't even want one).
Got myself a NINTENDO SWITCH CONSOLE OLED MODEL MARIO RED EDITION for $357 instead.
cannot add to shopping cart
Same. Cant add to shopping cart
OOS
Any idea when the Pro is expected?

Does anyone have a screenshot of this for price protection purposes? :)
In store too?
No in Doncaster in Victoria. I highly doubt any store will have it. They don't have the tiniest gaming section.
The $589 one on Amazon is the digital version, this was the disc version.
Ah, you are right. Apologies.
Do you guys know how to lay the digital console on its side? Is that even a possible thing?
Don't even bother looking at the games. Not competitive prices at all, even with 30% off.
30% off Apple watches too. Got the 45mm Series 9 GPS and Cellular for $560 for the mrs (down from $859).
Watch SE Cellular 40mm is $311.5 (down from $479)
Nice find OP.
even though the pics had the disc version - have a feeling its the digital/as per the description…
still a bargain for those who got one… and with the disc available as an addon if you needed it/not much of a loss.The original price of the listing was $799 so it has to be the disc version.
good point! :)
Tried to get JB to price match through their online website chat and they wouldn't do it because you couldn't add to cart
Managed to order one, but got an automated, non reply-able, email 30mins later cancelling the order.
No offer of compensation, back order or particular apology. Just bunch of corporate no-speak
No offer of compensation, back order or particular apology
For emotional damage?
I think I might need Therapy
PS5 is good for therapy, just saying :)
Compensation….lol. DJ doesn't GAF.
They will once AI scrapes my story and gets Ally Langdon on the case.
Next on ACA. How a heartless big corporation ruined Christmas for a poor struggling Aussie Battler.
I've already forwarded my complaint to the "Australian Human Rights Commission"
How dare they deny my rights to a discounted PS5. I'm being discriminated against as a "professional" tight arse.
Not quite as low as $532, but in store at JB HiFi for me they priced matched David Jones’s current listed price of $799 minus $30% that’s advertised, taking the slim disc edition down to $559.30… Even though it’s out of stock on David Jones’s website they are a retailer with store locations, which stock PS5 consoles.
"A JB Deal applies to identical products in stock at both the competitor and the relevant JB Hi-Fi store at the time of price matching."
i think Cevolution was very lucky to find someone to price match. Surely they would need manager approval for that or the salesperson messed up.
Yes, mistake by whoever they dealt with so unlikely others will be able to price match.
@8azinga - Showing as out of stock on a competitors website shouldn’t instantly mean a rejection for price match, that’s just the retailer you’re asking to match a competitors price being lazy and gives them an easy way to say no… Us humans rely on the internet far too much, stock levels are often incorrect on online store websites, and some online stores have a separate warehouse for stock for their online departments, which isn’t a reflection of store allocated stock. I dropped into a David Jones store at around 11am this morning, that particular store didn’t sell gaming consoles, however they checked their database, and some of their other stores in suburbs close by were showing stock of the PS5 slim disc edition, and I was advised in store at DJ that the 30% discount is applied too. That’s how I got JB HiFi to match David Jones.
Your original comment read like JB price matched simply because DJ has sold them before, even though OOS, and you didnt mention stores had stock. DJ's store stock is shown online which is why you can choose click and collect. Yes, there can be small errors but usually only 1 for items like this and but can also show stock when there isnt actually any or can be display stock. I'd still say you were lucky and some places deny price matches if the nearest store doesnt have stock as well if not available online. Also may have been an online order that had yet to be picked by staff.
@8azinga: That wasn’t the meaning of my original comment, you misinterpreted it. The meaning and point of the comment was that retailers like JB HiFi are wrong to reject a price match from any competitor retailer that has physical store locations based on the stock levels shown on their websites… JB HiFi should know based on the failures of their own crappy website which often displays incorrect stock levels that websites as a source for stock levels can’t be trusted (as a Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray collector, ask any disc collector how common and frustrating it is for a JB store to show zero stock of a title at a particular store location, however when you drop in there they have several copies on their shelves). Retailers like JB HiFi seem to look for any excuse not to price match another competitor retailer, rather than actually wanting the customers business. For retailers that have physical stores, if their websites show no stock when trying to price match else where, the staff at that retailer should be picking up the phone and calling the competitors store locations to confirm stock levels before rejecting a price match.
I remember getting into a dispute with a Dan Murphy’s staff member not long ago because she said if a competitors price is not advertised on the internet then that means it’s not advertised. I disagreed with her, and said it is advertised in the competitors physical store on a price ticket, and asked her to show me in their policy where it says they will only match prices advertised online, and every other source is excluded… Her opinion on the meaning and definition of the word advertised was incorrect. She eventually got off of her bum and phoned the store of the competing retailer to confirm their sale price, and ended up matching them, only after all of her silly nonsense trying to avoid matching it in the first place.
I don’t really care whether I was lucky in this situation with them price matching the PS5 or not, I didn’t really need it, it just bought it as a secondary PS5 for my bedroom. The other David Jones 30% plus off bargain thread that was posted on here early tonight with regards to them clearing out their electrical sections makes note of exactly the same thing that occurred with the PS5 this morning, just because you can’t add the item to your basket and their website shows no stock it doesn’t mean that’s accurate. Any person that was willing to put in a little effort this morning and visited a David Jones store to confirm stock, could’ve easily been in my position by then going into a JB HiFi store and requesting for them to price match David Jones.
@Cevolution: LOL Of course, anyone that went to a store this morning could have seen stock because that could have been before online orders for C&C were picked for some stores. So even though stock was sold online for C&C, meaning online inventory was reduced due to online sales, the stock was still on the shelf because it hadn't been picked yet, although technically already sold. I've made C&C orders from DJ's that didnt get picked for 2 days even though they say order by 1pm, pick up after 4pm.
@8azinga: Lol, your theory and idea of the situation is a ridiculous one. As I previously mentioned, I went into a David Jones store yesterday morning at around 11am a few hours after the online sale had ended. I spoke with a staff member there, who advise me that they didn’t sell gaming consoles at that particular location. He then checked their internal store database for me and told me which nearby DJ’s stores were showing stock. I asked whether they were reserved for online orders, and the staff member said no, and confirmed like JB HiFi’s online ordering click and click system, and some other retailers systems, DJ Jones’s system identifies stock that’s reserved for online orders and separates this from units of stock that are available.
@Cevolution: I guess you havent worked in retail but it isnt hard to understand. Eg. DJ's store recieved 5 PS5's. 1 could be a display or demo, gets stolen or damaged so it isn't for actual sale but shows up on database but can't actually sold so there are only 4 for sale. Your store assistant checks database and sees 1 at these stores. You call up to check stock on shelf and the assistant checks and see 4 PS5's, all of which were actually sold online but yet to be picked for C&C. Assistant mistakenly tells you there is stock. Pretty common scenario that happens and why people get refunded sometimes for C&C. I bet next you'll tell me your assistant told you there were multiple at each of these stores LOL
@8azinga: Rotfl, almost a week later you respond, and you sure do seem to love your hypotheticals, and running with them. Of course I have worked in retail before and I have a great understanding of stock systems, and I have likely worked in overall much tougher sales roles than you ever have, from selling brown and white goods, and camping and outdoor equipment+plus military surplus which includes weapons like bushcraft knives and machetes as well as other strange items such as dirty pre-used gas masks used in wars (that some customers even put on their faces to try them on 🤢), which attracts quite a weird customer base as well as quite a few homeless people as customers who commonly buy supplies for surviving a life on the streets, to door to door sales on commission only.
Your entire argument has been quite silly, and I’m still trying to figure out what your actual point is? Is it that staff at retail stores (JB HiFi in this case) shouldn’t be phoning competitors to check their stock to price match for customers? Your floor model analogy is not a very good one, when the majority of retailers internal databases reflect only one being in stock generally this means it is the floor model, and staff are aware of this and account for it when checking stock. Why is that the customers problem though? It’s up to the staff member that calls a competitor to check stock for a price match to ask whether it’s the floor model or not.
At the end of the day, in this particular circumstance you are incorrect regarding David Jones’s PS5 stock levels the morning I ask David Jones staff in store about it, and your hypotheticals don’t apply to this situation. Rather than making my way to the closest David Jones store that was showing available stock in their internal database not reserved for online orders that also wasn’t simply the floor model, I chose to go to a competitor retailer and used the information I was told and provided by David Jones staff to price match successfully. I have the slim PS5 disc edition that I paid $559 for in my possession sitting on my tall boy in my bedroom (I haven’t plugged it in to my bedroom setup yet, and have bought sterling silver faceplates that I still need to swap the white out for to match the silver controllers), what else is there for me to care about, nothing and certainly not your silly argument:
@Cevolution: Replying to you isnt a priority. It wasnt hard to follow so not sure why you dont understand.
@8azinga: On the contrary, I’ve understood everything you’ve said perfectly fine, on the other hand it certainly doesn’t seem as though you have understood and comprehended what I have said and my point from the beginning. For you to be right in this particular situation, you need to prove that David Jones’s website was correct with regards to stock levels on the day this deal was offered and that there was no stock of the PS5 slim disc edition beyond the floor models and customers orders, and that you’re smarter and more informed than David Jones staff themselves who advised me that there was still stock available in stores.
if the ps5 is not available to add to cart. is this OOS in all stores?
Anyone who purchased one had it dispatched yet?
I ordered yesterday around 8:15am. Received order confirmation mail immediately, but no updates since then.
Just received delivery notification. Order placed yesterday at 8:15AM.
Nice I ordered a few mins before you. Still no delivery (got order confirmation immediately) but happy to hear they are honouring it!
Went to pick mine up this morning and got a further discount in store. Paid $380.00 for the slim disc model.
Also, decided to get an extra controller from here.
Boxing day came early, happy days! Thanks for sharing OP
Now to buy a 4k TV 😬
what a deal!
Right? Just ordered my 4k TV through the Samsung education store too :D
They did, 50% off for the PS5 and also for a 65" S90D through Samsung education store
That’s just insane. I think you’ve scored the cheapest PS5 on the market, ever.
I think so too haha <3
Sold out country wide apparently, just missed out on the last one in Melbourne CBD :(
