This was mentioned in the posting on the galaxy tab 10.1:

which referred to a post on whirlpool:

but not listed in its own post, so figured I'd post it up.

Can't vouch for it myself yet, but fingers crossed!

    Found this store to be terrible in the past and the staff are like vultures. They must have new guys in there to be doing prices like this.

    eviltom on 15/12/2011 - 22:23

    This will only be that one particular store in Sydney :( No way anyone else will pricematch.

    Please post here if you manage it!

    Well the current price @ Harvey Normans is $397 so $298 seems plausable

    Thanks to heleth for posting those scans.
    I've just been to Harvey Norman's Martin Place and got it price matched.
    There was actually another "Oz-bairganer" there at the same time getting it price matched too!
    If anyone needs my receipt for price matching I'm happy to scan it and post it.
    Was looking at the Xoom yesterday and managed to talk it down to $275 at Bing Lee, lucky I didn't commit then!
    Great xmas/birthday present for the wife…

    After a lot of research I ended up tracking down this seller on ebay whom sells the Acase (same as AYL case that only sells on Amazon and won't ship out here but rebranded to sell elsewhere)
    Awesome case, perfect fit, soft interior to prevent rubbing on Xoom. BEST CASE EVAAA!

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Acase-Premium-Slim-Leather-Case-F...

    I've been using it for a week or so now and I'm very happy with my Xoom. I have it rooted, overclocked at 1.7ghz (x2 dual core remember) and installed the Sony Bravia engine last night which seems to have improved the clarity a smidgen as well as improved blackness. I'm happy with the $354 I paid, for $298 you guys should be ecstatic :)

    Harvey Norman stores are individually franchised so they can set their own pricing on some items as long as all catalogue or website items are at or below the advertised price.

    Nubzy, you do realize the irony of calling the Harvey Norman staff vultures right?

        It was only the floor/ demo model left anyway … $298 is probably the appropriate price rather than a bargain, so not worth the fight.

    I'm in Melbourne, and was able to purchase one over the phone on the proviso I organised a courier to pick it up. Courier only cost $13 from Syd to Melb - so still a good deal.

    I live near Moore Park (Coogee) and drove to Gordon this morning (9:52am arrived) for the deal. I was unsure (and unwilling to haggle - price match) if my local HN stocked any WiFi only models. So I decided to travel the forty five minutes to the Gordon store (+ tolls each way)

    Here is my receipt - http://i43.tinypic.com/oh71qp.jpg

    I attempted to talk down the price by offering $280 (CASH) knowing they told me they had 57 units left in stock (when I called at 9:05 this morning to ensure there was a strong likelihood I would be able to purchase one before I made my drive) and also haggled by reminding the salesperson the model had been on the market for nearly a year now.

    Guy didn't buy it, then I offered him $290 (really no point now). Found out it was a flat $298, or no tablet.

    So there. I unwrapped it I found marks on the surface protectors but gathered that was usual from the engineering process (and not the result of it being refurbished)

    The unit played up a bit initially zooming in, out and opening windows(even after cleaning the protective surface ensuring no smudges were causing the havoc) but once I restarted it again everything is working as should.

    There wasn't much action in there this morning when I came in (about four sales reps chatting together) so there should be surplus stock for anyone coming on later this afternoon/this evening.

    Android V 3.2 comes installed in the stock FYI

    JB Knox won't price match. Neither will Springvale. They are saying HN don't have stock so they wont price match, but HN never had stock in Victoria.

      Foma2 on 16/12/2011 - 17:42

      Just called them and they said that they have 3 in stock.
      Then I asked them if they can price match HN.
      They've been away for a couple of minutes and then said that they had sold them out.
      Sounds dodgy to me.

    Both JB stores in the city (Perth) do not have stock and were non-committal about price matching if they had any. Second store said no way. This is with using ozchilli's receipt posted earlier.

    AML23 on 16/12/2011 - 16:01

    Before i purchased mine at Gordon i rang stores that were closer to me at Artarmon and Chatswood, and no one in either HN or JBHifi would price match. So, if you are looking at going to these suburbs it maybe a wasted trip.

    I got a price match at JB Belconnen (ACT) the only thing was they have no units so had to pay at Belco and pick it up from the Civic store. I just showed the salesguy the HN Gordon Brochure and the JB reciept that were posted earlier in the thread on my phone (thanks guys) and he accepted it.

    I rang HN earlier in the day but Fyshwick wouldnt price match (but that could have been the guy I spoke to) and HN Woden sold all their stock for the same price ($298) about a week ago
