    Nice find… might actually brave the crowds and see if I can get the Wii Metal Slug Anthology for $2!

  • pspman on 23/12/2008 - 20:44

    Yes, same here, but most of the shops will have no stock, Take my word on it.

  • manbearpig on 23/12/2008 - 22:06

    How can they possibly be that cheap. I have never seen a Wii game sell for $2 in a shop before…

    Where's the source for this list? Cause I don't see any reliable one

    • chichi on 23/12/2008 - 23:17

      Yes I was wondering the same thing. I'll believe it when someone actually manages to buy a game for $2.

  • JPOWER on 23/12/2008 - 22:18

  • neosin on 23/12/2008 - 23:27

    try get pice match from JB or EB ???

    lol!

  • fman on 24/12/2008 - 00:01

    When is this sale on? Boxing Day? Isn't it a public holiday on boxing day?

    EDIT:
    My friend works at big w at Big W in Whitford City PERTH and he confirms that those prices are correct… if they are closed on that day.. the sales start on saturday.

    • Nash0r on 24/12/2008 - 01:02

      Boxing Day Sales? I don't think any shops are closed on boxing day especially big stores.

      • fman on 24/12/2008 - 01:13

        Westfield Whitford city in Perth are closed for some reason.. i dunno…

        • Nash0r on 24/12/2008 - 01:27

          Wow. That's crazy. All the shopping centers are open for sales here in Melbourne.

    • lolmao on 24/12/2008 - 01:51

      lol noob.. ever heard of boxing day sales?

      • randoom on 24/12/2008 - 08:02

        Depends where you live though - some regional centres probably don't do Boxing day sales. Was the same around where I live until about last year when Sunday trading arrived (shock & horror).

  • randoom on 24/12/2008 - 00:35

    Well that's something interesting. Might have to go and stock up..better be the right prices!

  • bong on 24/12/2008 - 03:55

    hmm what are the chances for big price drops for the xbox 360 120gb hard drive add-ons ? they're normally like 180 at some stores.

  • Crownie on 24/12/2008 - 04:12

    The full list is massive.
    It looks like Big W have put up every non new release game and accessory up for sale.
    The prices seem no different then what I was paying at D1ck Smith during June Financial Year clearances (Superman Returns 360 for $10.)

    The $2 VIP pack seems strange as it includes a wireless controller worth over $50 alone.
    There might be a handful of Big W's in the country that have 1 of these in stock, or the computer says they have 1 in stock.
    Most stores wouldn't have seen the VIP Packs in years.

  • GreatWhiteHunter on 24/12/2008 - 07:40

    Most BIG W stores in Sydney open 8:30am on BOXING DAY

  • randoom on 24/12/2008 - 08:00

    Btw, don't trust what the Big W site says about opening hours for Boxing day. Apparently my store is closed Boxing day. Called them late last night and they're open from 9am; pays to call and check.

  • NimitzHarrington on 24/12/2008 - 08:35

    Hmm, if this is legit, then BF2 complete for $2 looks juicy!

    • monkp on 24/12/2008 - 14:45

      I went two stores in Brisbane and none of them have it in stock. But some of these games listed from the op are already reduced.

  • Quasar on 24/12/2008 - 14:59

    What is BIGW's layby policy? I had a look online and it is not very informative.

    Would it be possible to go in today, layby the games at the current price, then wait until Boxing Day or the day after and get them off layby at the reduced price?

  • JPOWER on 24/12/2008 - 15:44

    no, its what evr the price is when u lay-by'd it, i think.

    biggest SCAM EVA FROM BIG-W Wasted 4 hours of my life LOL!

    Normally i wouldn't give neg votes but this time big w has crossed the line!!!

    I went to 2 stores, Campsie and Auburn, both did not have 1 single title that was on the list for less than $20

    I asked if the titles will be restocked for the boxing day sale and the saff said no!

    My guess is that someone (prob staff that work there) did a lay by on every game that's going to be on sale >< as there was practically NOTHING on the shelves.

    DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME PEOPLE!

    Your chances of getting a $2 or $10 game is good as getting that $199 wii from Catch of the Day Birthday scam lol!

            @neosin: JPOWER seem to ignore everyone questions.
            I wondering if it's true that SA stores have plenty of stocks!?
            Tell me so I can queue up with you & get some for our members :)

  • fman on 24/12/2008 - 21:37

    You could also try price matching @ EB or game or game traders or something :P

    Doubt it'll work though but worth a try!

    "Hi, Big W are having a Boxing Day Sale and they have BF2 for $2 is it possible to price match?"

    ahahah

    • randoom on 25/12/2008 - 00:19

      Last time I tried EB the game had to be in stock for the price match. Might work if Big W actually had stock, but then again, if they did, why not just buy from them.

      • noneother on 25/12/2008 - 13:35

        big w doesn't have unconditional 7 day money back guarantee if you finish your game within 7 days

  • hockey on 25/12/2008 - 21:07

    This games price is not in the BIG W catalog ? What can I say to get this $2 game if there is one still available in BIG W and they won't honor that price.

  • JPOWER on 25/12/2008 - 21:32

    no, theyll have the prices there tomoro

  • JPOWER on 25/12/2008 - 22:12

    btw, im in South Australia (shop arnt open :( ….), so can some1 keep me posted how the bigw sale goes tomoro.

  • manbearpig on 25/12/2008 - 23:28

    I don't know if I should even bother going down to Big W tomorrow. I still can't believe these prices and I'd be annoyed to go all the way down only to find the prices nothing like above.

    You know what they say if prices seem too good to be true…

    Seriously, $2 for some of these games that they're selling for over $50 in other stores….umm? They might as well give them away..

    WORST SALE EVER! went to the store to find absolutely no stock what so ever

    WORST SALE EVER! went to the store to find absolutely no stock what so ever

  • Headless Turkey on 26/12/2008 - 09:21

    I think the problem here is that it is NOT a sale, it looks more like a clearence list. Everything in the system that the Buyers/CatMans want to get rid of, it would be an auto generated listed based on age of titles/sell through statistics. Most of the titles there would be only 1 or 2 Australia wide.

    This is why these lists arn't for the publics eyes.

    • ozgamer on 26/12/2008 - 11:00
      +2

      I agree with you Headless Turkey. They look like clearance items hence the $2 titles.

    • Crownie on 26/12/2008 - 14:02

      I'm glad you've caught on to what I said 2 days ago.

  • soupiejr on 26/12/2008 - 09:35

    I've just been to the Fountain Gate Big W, no stock. They called Karingal, and Southland, no stock. Endeavour Hills, no stock. Waverley Gardens, no stock. Thanks for the bargain post anyway.

    The prices are not reflected in their online website anyway. They're really not making this easy, are they?

    Maybe if someone could find a store with stock, they could get it for us? I'll pay for shipping :)

    • manbearpig on 26/12/2008 - 11:13

      If anyone managed to get a hold of some, they'd probably prefer to sell them on eBay and make a 5000% profit

    • JeffreyM on 26/12/2008 - 13:38

      @soupiejr: You must live near me - I went to the Fountain Gate Big W this morning, just to look around & same thing. They had none of the games & rang up the same stores with no luck.

      • chichi on 26/12/2008 - 14:21

        Wish I had read that before I went to Karingal - nothing there and the games that were on sale were still expensive. There's half an hour of my life I'll never got back!

  • manbearpig on 26/12/2008 - 11:12

    Good. Knew it was too good to be true. I read on all these other forums people saying 'OMG I can't wait I'm gonna get bla bla, bla bla, bla bla, bla bla AND bla bla all for less than $100 hehehe'. Really had to be a fool to have believed they'd be selling em for these prices.

    If this were really a 'Big W Boxing Day Sale' then hec they would have advertised it in the catalogues. This list just came from some site which isn't reliable in any way yet everyone went nuts.

  • Tardvark on 26/12/2008 - 11:25

    I had a look at the Big W near my place (was there to buy some other stuff anyway). They had only the $30/$50 items. They had some of the games listed at the store, but they were at normal prices.

  • randoom on 26/12/2008 - 13:47

    Fail in Townsville. Even the games on the list that were there weren't discounted.

    If it looks too good to be true, it usually is.

  • Chris on 26/12/2008 - 14:54

    Yep, no $2 titles at my Big W (Northern NSW) either and no XBOX accessories even close to the prices in the list. In fact, the have had better sales during the year in regards to video games.

  • ca6leguy on 26/12/2008 - 15:37

    Everything is $50 or more. This is a Boxing Day joke. Don't waste your time going there.

  • neosin on 26/12/2008 - 15:56

    lol

    again, if anyone bothered to read the comments above, I warned everyone that it was 100% SCAM

    Worse Christmas/Boxing day sale EVA (in general)

  • bargainy on 26/12/2008 - 17:46

    Sounds like a dud.

  • GreatWhiteHunter on 26/12/2008 - 18:29

    I voted positive but would like to reverse.

    NOT A SINGLE $2 PC or 360 GAME in Macquarie Centre (NSW) Big W at 9am today (opened 9am).

    THIS IS A RORT!!

  • soupiejr on 26/12/2008 - 19:20

    To be fair to JPOWER, it would've been a good deal had it been a true one. He was just passing the message along. Blame the guy who gave him the list. Next time, check your source first though, before posting here. People here can be cruel like that.

  • cloudstrife23 on 26/12/2008 - 23:23

    Nothing on the list at my bigw. Feel sorry for the people who got out of bed just to seek out a bargain based on this post.

      • 11CENTS on 28/12/2008 - 01:11

        nope. why ?
        why dont u start by looking at profile.
        jpower is in adelaide.
        i am in melbourne.
        and before u give negative vote, i got a game for $2
        it's not fake and it's true.
        i spent my sleeping time to go to bigw in outer suburb just to find $2 game.
        i was happy to find the bargain, although it's only one item, in the end it might not worth for the time spent, however it's priceless just for my satisfaction.

        at the same day, i also checked highpoint, nothing left.

        • chichi on 28/12/2008 - 11:14

          O'K - no need for the long essay. The neg vote has nothing to do with you.

      • JPOWER on 28/12/2008 - 01:40

        so i would care enough to make a new profile, just to get people to go to big w so that they will get a $2 game.

        • 11CENTS on 28/12/2008 - 11:12

          In fact,i still could not believe, in ozbargain, we are here to share and to see any bargain outside.
          If you happy with bargain then take it. if not, don't complaint.
          No fuzz and everybody happy
