Posted above, I clicked submit by accident (on tablet) fixed link also.
All good sorry to jump on ya
NP, it did look a bit odd.
Wow, hope I can get Zombi U, for the third time and return the other 2 more expensive copies.
Just be aware that if you buy any of their Collectors stuff, they take absolutely no care with packaging so if you can elect to pick it up in store, then do so. Otherwise it will more than likely arrive damaged.
sadly, that is no guarentee either, though it does limit the possibility, the fact they think you should still pay full price for carton damaged goods amazes me though
That is very sad indeed… most likely all the damaged returns that they are selling at Insane prices LOL
True. I see many collectors boxes hanging round the shelves in stores getting scuffed and bent, huess they just chuck them in these sales when they give up
I have never had any issues with collector editions i have ordered from Eb before, maybe your local post?
Absolutely not the Post. The box was ripped prior to being thrown in the box & contents rattled around the whole journey. Also was sent a collectors book in a normal envelope with Zero packaging so corners were bent & torn. How much do packing peanuts or bubblewrap cost?… not a lot & they use neither.
Same. Multiple collectors editions, never once had a problem. I'd go so far as to say the packaging of them was generally quite good.
Really happy that you had a good experience but sadly I cannot say the same on multiple purchases.
@MrsJools, I'm sure you did. Just wanted to post my alternative experience.
Agreed, ordered D3 CE from EB and arrived in perfect form. Packaging was top notch.
So they are hit & miss… like I said before… beware & perhaps choose a store pickup so you can see before you complete the purchase. Personally I cannot recommend their packaging so I guess my standards are different.
Great price on the xbox
Why the f#@$ did I buy Vita from Amazon… lol
well I got heaps of extra so I guess I shouldn't complain
The white Assassins Creed Vita's are still a good deal on Amazon though, $265 with Ass Creed and 4GB stick.
plus 3 months PSN+
and PS All Stars
PSN+ allows me to play 3-5 decent extra games
So yeah it is still a good deal ;)
I sold my Assassins Creed… & All Stars is a whole lot of fun.. Not to mention getting Uncharted, Gravity Rush and more from PS+
How do you use the ps+ on us psn? Or did you buy locally and use au psn?
He'd have to, you need a US credit card to use the PS+ in the bundles most of the time.
Not true. You can buy prepaid cards off of ebay and also used PSN cards to pay for them.
You can buy prepaid cards of course, everyone knows that, but to use the free PS+ vouchers that are included in the bundles you need a US credit card…
Some good prices there, AC3 for WiiU is good.
If anyone wants it for X360 or PS3 though, EB will have it for $54 but it's only $49 til this Sunday at JB, recommend checking it out there.
what is the shipping fee from EB website ?
I just bought the Lumines today for 29…..should wait and save that 7 aud.
Its usually $2.50 for a PS3 game.
Thanks for the headsup :).
I think postage was around $9 last time I checked (console). Pity they ended the StudentEdge free shipping deal early :(.
Cheers, definitely gonna pick up ZombiU and Scribblenauts, even though I got the 3DS version today lol
Does the Vita include a memory card?
No, they screw you on the memory cards.
No deals on a Wii U console? That's probably hopeful thinking considering it only just came out.
Preowned wii console for $50. Thats f#$@en awesome!
Anyone know if the Astro A40 are the 2013 edition?
I doubt it… the new ones were released in September… most likely clearing out for new stock.
On the picture it shows the new mix amp which comes with the 2013 edition, if so it would be a great deal.
How did you get on? Were they the ones you were after?
I can't actually get on the website, its just the Mad Monday splash screen.
They said on their Facebook that they've shut down the site for the weekend in preparation for Mad Monday.
no love for pc gamers… again!
Hmm, giant Steam Xmas sale coming up, or a few scabby old boxes from EB? Know which I'd save my pennies for
As a true OzBargainer, I think it may be time to buy a Wii!
lmao but they've been cheap new for a few years now
decent prices on older model tablets
- Xoom 2 32GB 3G $348 save $200
- Samsung 7.7 16GB $248 save $130
- Toshiba AT100 32GB 3G $248 save $300
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB 3G $298
I'm wondering if the Samsung Galaxy qualifies for the $100 Samsung redemption making it $198???
That's only for note 10.1, this is Tab…
Good price on 3DS, maybe its time I buy one?
Check out Big W @ $200 for the XL
Hoping for a good price on the 360 console after Christmas.
Yep i m also holding on and wait for post xmas sales, wish for a $99 xbox 4GB version
Damit, I just bought ZombiU :(
And Id love a Xoom or Galaxy tab, but Probably so would a million others :/
I was hoping no one would post this deal. More for myself.
So the online deals won't be available instore?
Don't want the Wii to be an hourly deal… and have to check back every hour for the whole day…
Apparently none of tomorrow's specials are available instore. I checked whether their price match policy extended to their own website - it doesn't for days like tomorrow because 'stocks are limited'.
This is part of Mad Monday - the 24 hour deal - which starts at 12:01am Monday (ie tonight).
Or are you just separating out the Hourly Deals, which go from 10am til 5pm?
You might wanna update the original info because it's a 24 hour sale (online only)
I guess EB are fine tuning their interwebs because the site is currently only displaying the sale info page & can't get to any other content.
is there a list of games which will be on sale?
Some eb world members know what a few are (level 4) black ops 2 was. 4pm I think
Guys, is it free postage or?
i'm not sure but last year there was free postage
Thanks, sweet free postage would make this fantastic if servers (and stock) holds up!
the servers held up ok last year. i got on early and made my purchase when the site was still quite fast. i went back on later and the site was really slow but still usable :)
I haven't paid attention to these sales in the past. So I should probably check…are the games and consoles on the link the ones that will be divided over the hourly specials? Or are they on sale the whole day and other ones with limited numbers are on sale each hour?
fark, need to get to bed but am staying up to see if I can get the present i have been chasing.
lol, if you go to the site you get:
500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.
Hopefully this doesn't happen at 12.
EDIT: It's back up.
Why can these things never start on time? They've only take their website down for the entire weekend to prepare for it. Another ClickFrenzy?
12:03am………………. anyone got the site working yet?
nope, still waiting
So, now 12:03 and no sale…
I want to buy stuff
Not working for me…still the splash page.
Maybe it is…but all I get is it looks like its loading….guess the server thing was them just being clever with words.
Yeah, what the hell? Come on!!! 12:05 nothing
April fools!
Ahhh wait, that only works in April huh.
yes it's working!
And there it goes, loading into oblivion…
slow as hell
$2.50 postage… sigh
any free delivery codes?
Nice post but wow…how bitterly disappointing. They call this a 'CRAZY' / "DERANGED" once a year sale?!
- Wii U premium console pack: $429 - higher than Kmart and Big W Regular RRP
- PS VITA Wifi / 3g console (NEW) $349 (as above)
- Collector editions games might as well be advertised as "Here, take $5-15 off the normal price!"
I was expecting much more. Looks like there was not much point in this as there was no point for the hype, looks like I personally will wait for post-boxing day sales and price plummits for those sorts of things.
Duke Nuke Balls Of Steel edition $10 but unfortunately $7.70 to post it..
Yer I got $7.70 postage on my order which is a load!
I think that sale died in the ass fairly quick.
Are the tablets cheap?
I just bought 2 WiiU games…
I dont like the whole "The packaging for this collectors edition is slightly shop worn, so grab it for an insane low price"
Sounds like they poooled all the shop items together and are doing a bit clear out IMO
Looks like some good deals on peripherals, apart from that till the hourly sales start kinda average atm…
Wow, this sale is pretty much rubbish. Well played EB, well played.
can we use a gift card online?
no
I'm happy, all I wanted was The Sims 3 Supernatural for $38, got the Limited Edition which had apparently sold out online and I couldn't find in any shops for the same price.
waste of time, bad sale.
Many thanks to beakeroo, I bought a PS3 250gb bundle for $207.70 delivered.
There are some decent deals in accessories
https://ebgames.com.au/featured/mad-monday-accessories-and-h…
Some great roughly half price headsets, $23 for the Move Sharpshooter, $12 for Move charging dock, $92 for Logitech GT Wheel.
$88 for a Mechanical Keyboard is GREAT value IMHO
Yeah usually with EB you can sift through the manure and find a $2 coin every now and again…you're just not that excited since everything else around it looks bad! ;)
Nabbed the PC version of Darksiders 2 collectors edition, $39 OK, but insert complaint about having to pay shipping LOL.
Some other stuff like collectors edition Rayman Origins $22.00 and Driver San Fransico $8.00, prob would have got if saw before ordered.
Overall fairly weak sale.
the site isn't working any more :(
Edit: Its working again
cool, bought Zombie-U for $50.50 inc shipping. rest of the items seem pretty MEH
have noticed quite a bit of stuff is going out of stock already, who buys this crap?
No surprises that everyone buys digital or from overseas. The only thing crazy about this sale is the people at EB who think this is how a good sale runs. Not interested in the hourly sales now…
Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB 3G at 306$ shipped seems to be a good deal…isn't it so ?
There are lot of custom JB Stble ROMS as well
Bahahaha Australian pricing.
picked up Far Cry 3 Insane Ed. on PC for $54 + $4.95 shipping to VIC.
Works out to be about the same (5c cheaper) than what JB HiFi is selling the Standard edition at.
I cannot believe that they brought down their website for days for a half baked sale :/
Err and the details might be?
