Given that in recent months Harvey Norman have been selling 'AAA' games at a cheaper price (bought RAGE: Anarchy Edition at launch for under $70), this will be an interesting deal they are offering.

ALL games 50% off (3DS, PS Vita, X360, PS3 etc.)
Ends 29th March midnight
Online only (not imports site. You can have game(s) delivered or you can pick up from a local store)

    does 50% off HN prices means its about equal to avg. australian street prices?

      That wave died out a few months ago. Harvey Norman have been great with game prices over the last few months.

        Is it going to be 50% off their current price though, or 50% off the RRP?

          gilbarc on 27/03/2012 - 23:12

          To answer my own question, it seems to be a legitimate 50% off the current price. Voting positive now.

      ryang on 27/03/2012 - 17:37

      Some of their prices are retarded … BUT! I just found Forza 4 on their site for $68, so it would be $34 after discount.. Cheapest I've seen it.

      EDIT: Ooooh.. Wonder if I could get 50% on a pre-order????

      •  
        iBuzz7S on 27/03/2012 - 17:40

        I'm sure pre-orders won't be accounted for, but it's worth a try. Wouldn't mind grabbing Max Payne 3 SE for under $80. =D

        technically speaking, midnight tonight is incorrect because midnight only ever occurs in the morning.

          Far as I'm concerned midnight is neither morning or night. It's smack bang in the middle of both, therefore unique. You (and anybody who says things like 12am) should be SHOT by the LOGIC POLICE.

    Wouldn't get too excited yet, Xbox AUS jumped the gun, but Harvey Norman haven't announced anything, only saying "All will be revealed at midnight tonight". Wouldn't be surprised if it was selected titles only..

  •  
    nubzy on 27/03/2012 - 18:16

    I bet it will be off RRP or only select titles, making for a very average deal.

    So going off the fact that's it online only, I've compiled a list of all their games on the website at 50% off for those that can't be bothered.

    Deus Ex:HR - $23.44
    Call of Duty MW3 - $44.44
    Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7 - $28.44
    Gears of War 3 - $29.44
    Batman Arkham City - $29.44
    Forza 4 - $33.94
    Street Fighter X Tekken - $39.00
    Just Dance 3 - $23.44
    Assassin's Creed Revelations - $33.94
    LotR: War in the North - $24.00
    Black Ops - $27.00
    Your Shape: Fitness Evolved - $18.44
    Dance Central - $24.00
    Saints Row the Third - $34.44
    Ninja Gaiden 3 - $39.00
    Zumba Fitness - $24.44
    Mass Effect 3 - $39
    Catherine - $34
    Final Fantasy XIII-2 - $33.94
    Skyrim - $38.94
    Duke Nukem Forever - $13.38
    Battlefield 3 - $43.44
    Arcade Triple Pack - $18.85
    Child of Eden - $18.85
    Fighters Uncaged - $18.44
    Viva Pinata 2 - $12.35
    L.A. Noire - $19.38
    Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City - $39.00
    Disneyland Kinect - $29.44
    RAGE - $19.38
    Gears of War - $14.00
    Fifa 12 - $44.44
    Halo Wars - $9.38
    The Biggest Loser - $18.50
    The Darkness II - $39.00
    Rugby World Cup 2011 - $18.83
    Need for Speed: The Run - $39.00
    F.E.A.R 3 - $24.00
    Motionsport Kinect - $18.44
    Kinect Sports 2 - $29.44
    Wallabies Rugby Challenge - $43.94
    SSX - $39.00
    Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine - $43.94
    Driver San Francisco - $24.38
    Dance Central 2 - $32.44
    Crackdown 2 - $13.89
    F1 2011 - $24.44
    Halo Reach - $24.44
    Zumba Fitness Rush - $29.00
    Apache: Air Assault - $38
    Red Faction Armageddon - $23.38
    Gears of War 2 - $28.50
    UFC Undisputed 3 - $44.44
    Fable III - $23.94
    Halo ODST - $13.50

    Now that's assuming that it is 50% off their marked price, and they don't bump the prices up prior to this sale, and assuming it's on all titles.

    If all is correct, then there's some decent prices for newly released games, ala Ninja Gaiden, Darkness II, Street Fighter X Tekken,Resident Evil, and Catherine. All of which would be under $40.

    •  
      iBuzz7S on 27/03/2012 - 19:47

      Plus, with other stores doing trade-in deals, it's a good incentive to buy newly released games at the sale price. Works out well, since you can't trade-in imported games due to the rating on the cover/disc.

      Your future copy of Assassin's Creed III could cost you as low as $40.

    •  
      Wildesy on 27/03/2012 - 20:15

      Good job going to the effort of compiling the list, price bump before the 50% is almost inevitable though isn't it? Can't see them selling ME3 for $39 for example.

      Your list will be a good means of comparison if nothing else if the bump they prices I guess :)

    •  
      MetalPhreak on 27/03/2012 - 21:27

      If they bump the prices up prior to discounting them at their already advertised sale discount of 50%, then they are in clear violation of consumer rights laws, and the consumer watchdogs would love to hear about it ;)

      Would be silly for them to do so after their recent hefty fines over the 3DTV Sports advertising fiasco.

        monaro202 on 27/03/2012 - 22:38

        prior to this sale, HN had batman arkham city for $36, it's now back up to $58.88, so yeah the've bumped up the price prior to the 50% off, but still makes it cheaper at $29.44 …

  •  
    aussieude on 27/03/2012 - 20:43

    Going by the list above by Grimezy it looks about right. Not too sure they will add Me3 in there though. Gametraders having sale too and have Skyrim for $49, ME3 $49 and more so you can see those games around the same price when HN starts the sale but I say HN will beat Gametraders game sale $5 - $10 cheaper games

      They said yes, ready for pickup.

      Went there an hour later, handed over the confirmation email, signed a piece of paper and walked out with my two brand new games.
