Nice.. Bought Guitar Hero 3 Guitar pack for $30 delivered.. Really just wanted an extra guitar for World Tour/Rock Band.. the game is a bonus I might trade.

World Tour Super bundles are only $99!!!
That’s $99 for Game, guitar, drums and microphone!!
Almost worth grabbing for the spare instruments alone

Just ordered a GHWT super bundle for $99 + $5 delivery to Melbourne. Bargain!

There’s also Star Wars: Force Unleashed on 360 for $18.75 - http://www.sanity.com.au/ProductDetail.aspx?id=195465

me TOO :D :D

SingStar for PS3 only $17 i saw both 90s, pop and ABBA…

No GHWT bundle for Wii? Darn…

Xbox360 Guitar Hero World Tour Bundle $37.50, http://www.sanity.com.au/ProductDetail.aspx?id=197597

Not bad! Shame its not on the PS3 too!

That’s just with the guitar only.

still, it’d be good if the PS3 had that, or the wii >_

Is this online only, or in store too? (I can’t check the website at work unfortunately)

Online only

Great bargain - grabbed quite a few trade bait for jb.. its better than shopping in real life - had the exclusion list in one window and the sanity games in another window.

Any suggestions? I’m trying to get Forza 3 cheap, what did you use for trade bait?

…. just grab forza 3 on sanity. its $45 only…

Legend. +1

which games did you get as trade bait?

Pssst…. Please keep the trading bait suggestions quiet.
You guys dun want them to change the policies right?

Or maybe even change to…. Trade 6 games to swap for Batman Asylum….

I am telling bwahahaaaaa….

guys post the links of you can i’m capped its taking foreva to look through the site

Not sure it’s you being capped. The site seems to be getting hammered right now. It’s taking forever even through the corporate LAN.

I think the site is getting hammered pretty badly… it’s taking forever to load and I’m not capped!

But have managed to snaffle Guitar Hero super bundle and a couple of other games for X360 :D

Does that mean if i buy the three cheap singstar titles, i can trade in for modern warfare 2?

In theory, yes. None of them are on the exclusion list… yet. JB tends to be fairly quick in updating things if there’s a chance they’ll get swamped with trade-bait, so if you’re going to do it, do it quickly :-)

site not loading at all now

Loading a little bit slowly, but fine for me at the moment.

loaded for me :) but just slow :P better than COTD crap haha!

thanks just ordered skate 2 and sf4 for ps3 $65 delivered for both :P

Grabbed the GHWT Bundle as well after a bit of deliberation, I read about issues with the Drum Set though.

Hopefully my order gets filled considering how many people seemed to have flooded the site.

Wonder how long they would take to deliver…

If you pay an extra $2 for Express, then it will arrive the day after it ships :-)

What is the difference between the Guitar Hero World Tour Bundle and Super Bundle?

Thanks

Bundle is just with guitar..and super bundle is drum set, mic and guitar.

Wii’s De Blob is only $15 (was $39.99).
Guitar Hero World Tour Super Bundle is only $99.25 (was $264.66).

Awesome.
Halo 3
NFS undercover
street fighter 4
all xbox360
$100 delivered.
Thanks to poster!

Great find first off

I’m a little concerned that there are the same number of items now than there was a few hrs ago…..either they have a crap load of games or the site inst reflecting live stock figures and some people could miss out.

I hope its the crap load option :-)

One of the games I got (Lego Batman) has “ships in 5-10 days” so I think they’ll honour the purchases.

This is their policy:

Sanity.com.au makes every effort to fulfil all orders placed; however, we cannot guarantee the in-stock position at any of our suppliers and occasionally we are informed a title is no longer available. If this is the case we will notify you via email and remove the title from the website. You will not be charged for unavailable items as payment is only processed when goods are shipped.

So in theory they could pull a Dell, unfortunately.

I agree…great find but with so many people buying and their site not reflecting live stock levels, it’s inevitable that some people will miss out. Doubt they’ll restock so they will sell games to ozbargainers at a loss.

Didn’t stop me buying a few games for myself though :)

can you trade in singstars games in the three for free trade in offers with out the mics ?

if not on the exclusion list then yes

I have never played guitar hero before, but have seen it in action. My 2 year son loves the drums, is there any mode where he can just bash them in guitar hero without playing the competitions?

So what is the quality of the drums like with the; Guitar Hero World Tour Super Bundle?

Apparently the drums aren’t particularly good if you read through the reviews, a lot of people RMA’d the cymbals.

There were reports of problems but the set I got when it was first released hasnt had any problems to this day.
Activision did release a tuning software where you could connect the drums to a PC and adjust the sensitivity through the use of a MIDI cable

anyone get a pending email after they paid?

doesn’t that mean they can chuck a dell on us?

Mine says “Your order was successfully placed. We will keep you updated of your order’s progress and let you know when your order has been shipped.”

Edit: just noticed every item says ‘Pending’.

Thanks for the post, bought a few games to add to my collection

Ist only me or does the list keep changing.

You might be right! There seems to be a few more games (mainly Sims) in the list now than when I first posted the deal. At least, page 4 has slightly more items in it now than before…

There’ some games here, like Quantum of Solace for 15 bucks, that I’ve been waiting to come down to bargain bin price, for the post-Christmas gaming dry season.

haha the one morning I don’t check ozbargain!!
I think almost all the games are gone now :(

Lol, happens to me all the time. I check this site religiously, and it feels like the best bargains go when I happen to miss a day of logging on.

How can you tell if they’re all gone, i just purchased some, email says they’re all pending?

looks like i was too late, pretty much just garbage there now.

Wow the list is rapidly drying up. Went from about 160 titles to 20 within 10 minutes. Hope the items in my cart were actually reserved.

Lol. Only 12 games remaining at the XBOX 360 category:
http://www.sanity.com.au/CategoryHome.aspx?cat=139

Nothing left… all sold out… like above - hopefully my order is honoured…

Purchased the following:
James Bond Quantum Of Solace
$15.00
Mercenaries 2 World In Flames
$18.75
Ratchet And Clank: Tools Of Destruction
$14.94
Resistance: Fall Of Man
$13.12
Virtua Fighter 5
$8.95

Never mentioned that they were out of stock. Some good bargains there!

BIGGEST SIGH EVER

actually, what if all the items are still in your basket, can you still checkout and all?

nothing interesting left for xbox 360.

wow lucky i got in fast hahaha woooot BEST DEAL this yr for me if they honour all the stuff i ordered…

Damn it.

DAMN
was waiting for my dad to get home… they’re all gone now….

Dont feel too bad, most retailers will try to offload their games before christmas otherwise they will be stuck with them especially with the awesome games coming out.

Woops had Virtua Fighter 5 and Soul Calibur in my cart was going to see if there were any other additions to the list before I bought - forgot about it and closed the browser.

I noticed the deal when there was about 450 clicks and ended up getting 7 games for the ps3. They were slightly more expensive than 1 full priced game. My collection of games went up by 25% or so :)

Can someone tell me how this: http://www.sanity.com.au/ProductDetail.aspx?id=259716
Is a special price?

$69.99 was $52

lol. Reminds me of a special sticker, with a discount of a whopping 0c.

Wow.. Burnout Paradise (PS3) for only $14.06..

http://www.sanity.com.au/ProductDetail.aspx?id=259579

damn you all! that’s all I have to say…

cannot believe i missed this =[

oh well might hit eb games for their boxing day sale.

Damn, net was slow earlier so I thought I’d come back later. Got back and all gone. Missed out on some huge bargains :(

20 items left now, though nothing looks very interesting.

WOW i’m glad i got in early.. can’t believe its gone from about 6 pages to 1

Aw man, I was going to do this at work earlier when there were 4 pages. Didn’t get a chance and now they’re totally gone. Fail (by me)

Missed out on a PS3 GHWT bundle when the checkout locked up. If anyone has a PS3 version ordered they are keen to offload, let me know. I’m in Sydney. tcativo@gmail.com

I picked up Burnout Paradise PS3 for $14.06 yesterday before everyone ransacked them.

I ordered too, but how do we know this won’t end up like another Dell screw-up?? Prices were too good to be true and prob way more demand than they would’ve been expecting…my order has been pending for an awful long time…

FYI

They also have Need For Speed Pro Street for PS3 $13.12

This doesn’t show on the clearance page but if you go to games then ps3 you can see it

There are about 30 Sanity Stores that are doing 50% off all games that they have in store. You can only grab whats on the shelf, no more orders can be done, but they are same price as the website…. should call the local store to see if they have any games stock. got guitar hero world tour for $28!

There aren’t 30 Sanity games stores… There’s only a handful now..

Mine is doing it!
Maryborough QLD.

Nothing there worth grabbing however except for the GH:WT full bundle for $99.

This was a great post, alot of very good bargains.

I phoned and changed my 2 orders over to express shipping.

She said the games clearance was very popular. They are ordering in additional stock to fulfill these orders. They will ship next week.

Nice! I guess it was a good sign when the items started disappearing off the list, that they probably wouldn’t be doing a Dell, as they’re limiting their liability.

Great to hear! Gee… I didn’t know there were 6 pages to start with! By the time I put up this post there was only 4 pages. Wonder what other great deals I missed!

I know there was GH Aerosmith with limited edition guitar (PS3) for $37 that I managed to grab.

I just grabbed the last PS3 GHWT instrument bundle in stock in Sydney Metro stores, but she looked and found there are still copies in Bathurst and Dubbo. She wasn’t sure if they were prepared to move stock from store to store, but it might be worth a phone call to these stores to see. Or drive to Dubbo and see the great Zoo while you are there!

I didn’t ask about other states, sorry!

What were the other great deals people got yesterday that others may be able to grab in-store today?

The deals I remeber were

Resistance FOM (PS3) - $13
FIFA 08 (PS3) - $13
WWE vs Raw 2009 (PS3) - $13
Ratchet & Clank TOD (PS3) - $13
Fight Night Round 3 (PS3) - $13
Need for Speed Pro Street (PS3) - $13
Skate (PS3) - $13
Saints Row 2 (PS3) - $17
Lego Batman (PS3) - $17
Singstar Abba - $17
Singstar Pop - $17
Guitar Hero Aero Smith With Guitar (PS3) - $37
Guitar Hero Complete bundle (PS3) - $ 99
De Blob (Wii) - $15
MySims (Wii) - $13
Madworld (Wii) - $23
Castlevania (Wii) - $23
Virtual Fighter 5 (X360) - $9

There was alot more for very good prices.

Placed my order in last night, brought 6 ps3 games….so far atm, no email and payment is pending…also I checkout as guest…so can’t check the order..

You should have received an order confirmation e-mail at the very least. Did you check your junk folder?

yeah..i did check…but no email at all

Perhaps you where in hurry to checkout and mistyped your email address.

I would phone them and confirm your order.

as would i..

So is the $99 GUITAR HERO WORLD TOUR instrument bundle compatible with the ROCK BAND software?

Depends which console you are talking about:
http://www.joystiq.com/Instrument-Compatibility-Matrix/

Thanks. PS3 versions I was referring to.

I emailed them yesterday:
Hi. I am a new customer. I purchased items from the games clearance sale. Order numbers: xxx & xxx. I am concerned you won’t be able to fulfill everyone’s order. Can you please confirm both my orders will be processed and delivered to me. Thank you, Michelle.

Response:
Hi. Our games clearout was a massive success yesterday we sold all the reduced stock we had and are currently trying to source more at a reduced price for the remaining orders.

Your order will remain in pending until we source the stock.

We should find out more details in the next couple of days will advise as soon as we have solid details

Kind regards

Lisa

I’m happy with that response.. At least they are trying to source more stock, unlike other companies…

Unless “sourcing more stock” means pulling in leftover inventory from all their retail stores…

…Which is better than not getting at all.. considering the prices..

Went into store today and bought:
Burnout Paradise (360) $14
Mercenaries 2 (360) $18.50
Resident Evil 5 (360) $35

which store?

Maryborough QLD

I was in the Sanity Sydney city store after work today. There was still 2 x ROCK BAND PS2/3 instrument bundles (no game) for $120 which will come down to $60. ROCK STAR game on its own for PS3 was also there and discount price was $28.11

There was also a PS2 GUITAR HERO WORLD TOUR instrument bundle for $99 (with game). I got the last PS3 version of this which they kindly put aside after I called them early this morning. So, call them if you want one of these itmes, so they can hold it for you.

Still quite a few games for about a $30 sale price still there, but all the $13 ones had gone.

A workmate called into CASTLE HILL store today and he was told all unsold tock from stores was sent to the city store to be sold off cheap. Looks like they are getting out of game/consoles sales.

Retail stores are getting rid of games, except they are suppose to continue offering them online..

Sanity Sydney city?

Where is that?

UPDATE just went to the virgin mega store Sydney City and they have over 25% off all game however there savings don’t come close to what the website had and most of the games even with the discounts are still more expensive than shopping elsewhere (example Motorstorm pacific rim was 109 now 57, can get elsewhere for under 50)

In maryborough, they had 50% off the already marked down prices. it was great as its a small-ish town and not many people had been there before me :D

Sorry, I forgot that SANITY is re-badged as Virgin Mega store in Sydney city. That is the store you mention above! Although the signs say 25% clearance, all those reduced prices then scan at 50% off again. Unless you know, there is no signage indicating this discount. I bought three items from there yesterday including GHWT PS3 instrument bundle for $99.

Your MOTORSTORM would have been $57 less 50% = $28.50

I assume all stores mentioned on www.sanity.com.au are offering the discount.

Called Sanity online support earlier today, gotta say thumbs up, guy was very helpful and answered immediately. Will keep an eye out for them in the future (inline with Game and Fishpond).

He discussed the stock situation and said they placed an order with the supplier today, and they are hoping to fulfil stock at the prices we ordered them at. He said we will receive a dispatch e-mail or notification it has been cancelled if they cannot fulfil the order. He appeared optimistic so I will remain so for now.

For those wondering all items are shipped via AusPost (regular or Express) so if you’re not there, it gets left there. I called to get my addressed changed to work instead for this reason.

I thought they left a slip if you aren’t home. I live in a unit and the contractor doesn’t even attempt delivery, for once it will be a boon since it will go straight to the post office and a slip with be left.

Just went to the Virgin megastore in the Sydney City (on George St). They have 50% off reduced price games. Gears of war $8, tiger woods 2009 $22, lego batman $18, gundam dynasty warriors 2 $20, RE 5 $35. All these are xbox 360 games. I had a quick look at ps2 - fallout 3 for $40, rock band instruments $60 (2 sets left). Heaps of wii games - castlevania, animal crossing, mad world - all around $20 to $40.

Worth checking all virgin and sanity stores. HMV i don’t think have games.

Went to Sanity store at Forest Hill in Vic and they don’t sell games. Wasted my time. =(

got myself some sick games!!!

Alvin.ng
most sanity stores have actually gotten rid of games
It would be your best bet to give them a call first before going in
Have fun :)

Anyone got their order shipped yet?

I contacted them and they said they were waiting for one of my games to come in (which will be late next week) before they ship them out to be.
So it seems they are going to fulfil the orders.

FYI I ordered Little Big Planet, Guitar hero Super bundle and Ratchet Tools of Destruction(waiting for this game to be in stock) all on ps3.

Not shipped out for me yet and no notification by email of anything apart from pending order… hmmm I can’t be bothered ringing up but if this were not such a good deal I would be annoyed…

Still curious to see whether I get the games I wanted though… hopefully I will… and before xmas!

I received a shipment email for my GHWT order today, so it seems like they are filling orders.

My street fighter 4 ps3 has just been shipped

just got an email, all my items have been shipped :D

Still waiting for my items, but I should have figured… the stock level was “5-10 days” when I ordered. Oh well. Not too bummed if I don’t get them, ‘coz I probably need the cash more than I need the games right now, hehe…

Still tons of games at Sydney Virgin mega store

lbp was $26
fallout 3 ps3 $35
godfather 2 ps3 $30

….heaps for 360

Just got shipping confirmation for GHWT Bundle, still waiting on Forza 3 and Bad Company (ordered separately).

Thanks again for the find :)

Got my email as well!
Ordered GHWT Guitar bundle
LBP
Motorstorm 2
Resistance
Ratchet & Clank.
+ Express posting.

Can anyone who chose normal posting please advise if their email showed how long it will take for you to receive it?

2-5 working days i think

Great, my email said 1-2 working days.

Likewise, paid the extra for Express so it appears it will be here a little quicker. I think overnight after you get confirmation.

My order arrived on Friday (GHWT super bundle + GH3 guitar bundle) :D

Mine is shipped !!! So many thanks for this great deal

Mines shipped now :)

Do you need to be home when they deliver if you chose express shipping? I ordered guitar hero super bundle and I’m wondering if they are just going to leave it at my front door if I’m not home.

Express post usually gets left at the door as it doesn’t include delivery confirmation.

Here the email sent today by sanity:

“Thank you for your email.

Due to the limited amount of stock allocated and the high number of orders placed, we are currently trying to source more stock for all outstanding orders.

It looks as though we are likely to fill 75% of orders taken.

Your order is in a line and stock is being allocated to orders placed first and working backwards on this list.

We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.”

Here’s hoping that mine is not in the unlucky 25%!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got my GH5 bundle today! Waiting on Forza 3 and Bad Company to arrive though.

I asked about my games.

They said:
“This is what we have so far
The remainder we are trying to source through alternative suppliers
You want us to part ship the received titles out let me know and I will change your shipping selection”

It cost $6.95 to have a partial order of Guitar Hero World Tour (x2), Singstar Queen & Singstar Pop shipped express. At least I’ll have something this week. I wonder if PS2 singstar mikes work on a PS3?

I’m still waiting on Call Of Duty World At War, Halo 3, Guitar Hero 3 Bundle, Singstar Abba Bundle & Guitar Hero Aerosmith Bundle.

Got my street fighter 4 ps3 today

Mine arrived today :)

My guitar hero world tour shipped yesterday so hopefully will get it today, did pay for express. Still waiting on stock for bourne, guitar hero metallica and the godfather 2. Have bad company 2, brothers in arms and james bond waiting to be shipped. Might make them split the order. They said they cannot source burnout paradise and has been taken off my order.

They are trying to source the other games and said they will know by early next week. My understanding is that they are recieving all stock from every store to meet the orders from online.

mine order still says pending :(

My order partially shipped today after calling to check on the status. I’d recommend people call to see whether they have partially filled your order and if so - get it shipped. No extra cost apparently. I got battlefield 2, soul calibur IV, tomb raider underworld, quantam solace shipped and star wars force unleashed. Waiting to be shipped: burnout paradise, banjo kazooie and bourne conspiracy. My burnout has not been taken out - the person said there is still a chance to be shipped.

I sent them an email to get an update on my order on the 3/12.
I originally opted for it to be bulk fulfilled so they are waiting on the other titles.
It was going to cost me extra shipping to split the order and take the available items now. So I elected to wait.

Still waiting on
Lego Star Wars PS3
Madagascar Escape 2 Africa PS3
Star Wars the Force Unleashed (Wii)

As others have posted they say they are waiting on stock from all Sanity, Virgin and HMV stores.
If they are unable to source any outstanding titles they will cancel the items from the order and ship the available titles.

They didn’t give any time period for this to take place.
Tho how much longer can it take?

I got an e-mail back from Sanity saying that they’re waiting on a shipment by the end of this week, and after that if there’s still no stock they’ll ship what they’ve got and cancel the ones for which they don’t have stock.

I have 2 out of 3 items that I ordered.

Bought Smackdown vs Raw 2009, Quantum of Solace and Burnout paradise…and all still not shipped. Was told only got WWE and 007 and that not sure about Burnout. Wouldn’t have bought from them if I knew it’ll take more than 2 weeks to get the games even for the dirt cheap prices (and I still haven’t got them).

received all of my order yesterday:
GH Aerosmith bundle ps3
Smackdown vs Raw 2009 ps3
singstar 80s ps2

I checked my pending order status and found someone has added $300 worth of DVDs to my order.

I phoned. Their final shipment of games arrive on Thursday. He can’t say if I’ll get my pending items.

They are waiting to see what comes in on Thursday before notifying customers of cancellations.

You guys are all waiting for the stock to be sent to the main store / head office because the games are spread out across all stores.. and the Admin bags / transfers are packed for monday… They will all be sent to one main location starting monday and it should get there in 2-3 days time i would assume
Something like that
not 100% sure but yeah

Thanks, that makes sense.

My order still shows pending and I’ve had no email contact. I’m suspecting that isn’t a good thing.

Try e-mailing them. Otherwise you’re not likely to hear back from them until tomorrow, probably.

Over on ecogamer.com, people who paid for Express are saying that even if they chose combined shipping, they’ve been getting their orders shipped minus the games that aren’t in stock - i.e. the games not shipped aren’t in stock, and won’t be fulfilled.

So far, that’s Burnout Paradise and MySims.

Myself, I’m waiting for Lego Batman, so fingers crossed!
