After looking at the range of MS products that are available in the 25% off cashback offer (see here http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/7537 for details) I decided to buy some headsets for work.

You Pay $699 + Postage @ www.ShoppingSquare.com.au and claim the CashBack from Samsung Australia before 31/7/2008

The cashback is rounded upwards to a value that is multiple of 5. So for some items is more than 30%. For example, for Wired Desktop 500, the RRP is $39.95 and the cashback is $15.00 (37.54%).

I just went into Dick Smith in Broadway, Sydney and bought Gears of War for the Xbox 360.

Although the sticker price was ~$47 it came through the till as $37.41.

End of year Boxing day sale on Xbox 360 Pro Holiday Pack, comes with Viva Pinata and Forza Motorsports 2, only $449 at JB HIFI!

Also some games shown on sale also $39 each:

Steam has 10%-25% off games
orangebox (half-life2, team fortress 2 + other expansions and games) is 25% off.
other games vary.

EB Games seem to be having a half decent sale. Several good games are 50% off which makes them almost competitive with prices to be had from other countries. My picks are:
