Hello, 1st bargain posted, so please excuse any mistakes etc.

I was looking for a cheap blu ray player for 1 of my best mates on disability pension. I found this for him and got price matched quick and easy @ JB HI-FI (Miranda) . It actually seems great for cheapest blu ray player I could find. Plenty of features, and accepts my friends 3TB USB3 external HDD (which he bought on sale only to find not supported by PS3) . No 3D support, but I doubt any cheap players have 3D support.

Samsung's Full HD Bluray Player is backwards compatible so that it can play both DVDs and CDs as well as newer format Bluray discs. Complete with HDMI output and a USB port, this product has all the options you could want in terms of connectivity. It is even Wireless ready with the addition of the compatible Samsung Wireless Dongle.

This is how my price match went (my friend tried and was refused as he didn't know what to say etc) . I walked in store, asked guard where are Blu Ray players. Found guy in section and informed him I would like price matching please. Said, I can show him link on my phone, but phone no reception in here, can you look it up I have the link here (showed him link) . He put link in his iphone, looked it up. Showed him that you click on item, then postage etc, input post code (he asked my postcode, but any will do) . Site comes up as $10 delivery fee or FREE PICK-UP . When he noticed that it was pick-up in Melbourne he made a sound like awhrrr (like in disappointment for me) . I said straight away "that doesn't matter does it, as it is an Australian store, I didn't think it mattered what suburb the store is in, its free pick-up in physical bricks and mortar store. He answered No (doesn't matter what suburb) , and said "I'll go get your receipt" . I took the receipt to checkout and paid . Was probably in and out of store in under 5 minutes with nice new Blu Ray Player $69.
Tried to be very clear with how to get deal, as my friend tried to get price match and struggled greatly, walking away empty handed. If you do as I did , should be a quick and easy price match and purchase .
Hope this helps a few people.
Kind Regards,
Steve

    Price match is not a deal. Please mention deal is from original seller. Then later on you can mention price match.

    Pickup is free for Melbourne. For other areas postage is $9.95-$19.95 depending on location. They will probably want to add that on as well when doing a price match.

    Also remove the first line from the post or prepared to get flamed. We all know its your first post by the 1 next to your user name.

    There is no mention of the original store where the $69 price was advertised, nor is there an uploaded receipt. See pricematching section of deal posting guidelines. Moved to forums.

      Aargh, I was just reading the title and description. My apologies to the OP. Unfortunately, I can't move a forum post back to a deal.

      OP - if you want to re-post the deal with an uploaded receipt, I'll mark this one as the duplicate.

    @ g123 . Not as great deal to get delivered . If you read post through in full, I explained how to get it at JB HI-FI for $30 off . Can pick up Melbourne free @ $69 . Mentioned JB as I know that many more ppl have a local JB HI-FI store , whereas not many would live near the Melbourne wharehouse outlet .

    @wisk . You are quite correct . Link (now deleted by mods) was posted .
    @ moocher, Sorry , I can't post receipt Atm as like I said , bought to help a friend out . He has player and receipt and is very happy with it . Receipt of my purchase shouldn't be needed really, as JB can check link etc. And I am very time poor of late, so haven't the time to re-post , but I don't mind someone else re-posts . Didn't post for the credit, just trying to help someone out like my friend .
