expired DSE 30% off All Games and Accessories (exc Console and Cards & Not Part of GameOnSale)
This was posted 1 year 1 month 7 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal
Had a look at some games and accessories that I knew were not part of previous promo and they are now marked down. (eg Star Wars Kinect now $41.97 was $59.95)
From the Dick Smith website:
Due to the unauthorised leaking of an internal price list last week, our Game On Sale has exceeded expectations. As our Game On Sale continues this week, we would like to inform our customers that stock is selling faster than expected. We thank you for your patience and continued support and apologise for any inconvenience caused. As a gesture of goodwill in addition to the Game on Sale event we will now be offering extend the offer to include 30% off gaming software and accessories until Sunday 15 April. Please note that this excludes all gaming consoles, digital cards & already advertised catalogue lines in our Game On brochure (11/4 – 23/4/12).

Upvote him!

Captain Obvious on 11/04/2012 - 11:37 ¶The 30% off applied to the sale games I just bought - Batman Arkham City (PC) and Wii Sports Resort (with the Wii-motion Plus) for $10.50 each.

No, they had Lego Batman for $1, I picked that up too.

So a note to everyone, Knox City DSE is not running the sale!
+3 votes1morphine1 on 11/04/2012 - 12:04 ¶with such a substandard management, no wonder why DSE are closing down their stores
batiudrami on 11/04/2012 - 19:32 ¶This seems ridiculous - surely they have a POS system which lets head office set prices remotely and roll them out to all stores? How else would you run a business as big as DSE.
I posted this on another OzBargain page but it probably has more relevance here. I just went in (vic gardens) and they had more gaming titles on special, though very limited. Picked up Uncharted 1 & 2 collectors pack for $7!! Also got Medal of Honor ($3.5) and Fracture ($2) for the hell of it. So that's 4 PS3 games for $12.50. I checked stock levels online and called to confirm they had it before I went in. The prices online already seem to have the 30% markdown listed. ie Uncharted Twin pack was $10 (which I think was already the discounted price) down to $7.
+3 votesManaged to pick up:
Street Fighter 3DS - $8.20
Michael Jackson Kinect - $2.80
Motion Sports Kinect - $3.20
Halo 3 - $1.90
The guy at the counter warned me and said that prices will probably not match what the website says….to my advantage they scanned in much less than the website! :)

Have a look online to check prices in advance… most of them are $42. The cheaper ones are pretty much awful and will be sold out anyway

Even thought it may have been an "Unauthorised leaking of an internal price list" but that didn't stop DSE from confirming it on their Facebook page. That was their mistake IMHO.
However, this is OzBargain and they are giving 30% off to people who can get a hold of their stuffs, so +1.
sushiyasha on 11/04/2012 - 15:04 ¶Can this 30% discount apply on pre-order as well? Does anyone know about this?
It will be good for pre-ordering diablo 3 :)
Maxamillion21 on 11/04/2012 - 15:19 ¶They had the 30% off applied to the Uncharted double pack even though it was already down to $10. Took it to the register and picked it up for $7… Needless to say I was happy :)
alwayseric on 11/04/2012 - 16:40 ¶where did yo find the uncharted double pack? i would buy it at $10! steal!

The weird thing is that some sale games get the 30%, some don't. I just bought Wii Sports Resort (another copy) that got the discount, but the TDK $5 headphones and Prince of Persia didn't. Odd system.
dlakers3peat on 11/04/2012 - 18:42 ¶this product doesn't seem to have the 30% on their website
320GB HDD with Lego Star Wars $104.96
Grabbed a pretty nice stash (had to drive to two branches however): http://i41.tinypic.com/2uh1nxk.jpg
Batman Arkham City: $10.50
Duke Nukem Forever: $7.00
Civilization V: $10.50
Warhammer Space Marine: $10.50
Red Alert 3: $2.00
Red Faction: Guerilla (Boxed): $3.50Total (Incl. Staff Discount): $41.80
I don't work for DSE btw; so no I don't have the Xbox 360/PS3 you wanted.
Seems to me DSE definitely held some stock in reserve for the 11th because my local branch (DSE Innaloo), which was picked clean after the madness that ensued on that fateful day, April the 2nd, and had virtually nothing of value; today had a decent assortment of PC/360/PS3 titles.
I saw numerous copies of Rage, Assassins Creed Revelations, Saints Row 3, L.A. Noire, Bat Arkham City, Call of Juarez, Uncharted, Dead Island, Driver San Francisco, GTA IV, COD MW3 & Black Ops, Uncharted, Red Dead Redemption, as well as a huge amount of Wii crap including controllers and covers, all selling at the announced discounted prices that the leaked sales list had.
So there definitely are some bargains still to be snapped up.
On another note; I saw the first closed DSE branch so far in WA. Excuse me while I play a tune for DSE on the world's smallest violin.
Cheap Gamer 88 on 11/04/2012 - 19:07 ¶Went into my local store at about 10am, wasn't expecting much, ESPECIALLY a ds. In the end I got a few nice things. So going in expecting nothing was much better than going in wanting everything.

With the 20% refund from MS, this makes most of the Xbox accessories on par with UK prices. You do however have to wait for MS to issue the refund …..
