      Batman Arkham City (PS3)
      Borderlands 2 (PS3)
      Kinect Sports (360)

      Saints Row 3 (PS3)
      Skyrim (PS3)
      Street Fighter vs Tekken (PS3)
      UFC 3(PS3)

      Sennheiser HD 220 Originals Headphones
      Pioneer BDP-140 (definitely a bargain at 46.87 for a 3D blu-ray player that can be made region free for blu-rays via custom firmware, now to go on an amazon spending spree)

      • What store did you get the BDP-140 at? Did you have to haggle for that price? I can't find that model on the DSE website. Is it at every store?

        • it was on the site a few days ago. $46.87 was the price listed online but there was very limited stock

  • +1

    Got Saints Row The Third & Max Payne 3 (360), and Arkham City & Battlefield 3 (PS3) for $30 total in-store. Good stuff!

    • Should mention that the DS I went to had buy one, get one free in addition to the extra 50% off. Hence the 4 games for $30 :)

  • +1

    I went crazy today and got the following from DS, finally they are offering something that are actually available. Great find, OP!!!

    Max Payne 3
    Lord Of The Rings - War In The North
    Doom 3
    Skyrim
    Need for speed the run
    SF vs Tekken

    Still thinking if i should get the Batman Arkham City and I was not able to find the Gunstringer.

    Anyone knows if I will need the camera thingy for playing "The Shoot"? Is this a ok shooting game?

  • +1

    Batman Arkham City AND Assassins Creed Revelations were two games I saw that are the modified versions. They clearly show this with a yellow sticker on the box. Modified meaning at the time of release when only MA15+ was available the game had to be modified in some way to meet this classification rating

    Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 PC
    Final Fantasy III-X2 360
    Prototype 2 360

    • Also add Final Fantasy III and Final Fantasy III-2. These are also the modified versions to meed classification rations.

  • From the look at this bargain post…..I say yes we should ban Dick Smith deals, goes totally against what this website is about….NOT!!!!!!!

    anyone remember the dicksmiths sale posted last year where people queued up for, only to find the employees had nabbed the best stuff? I was so pissed after that! Still refuse to go to dicksmiths because of it.

    • I got some good stuff out of that day though ;) I queued up from 8am to get in, then it was a rush of 100 people flooding through the doors haha

    • +3

      Excellent! More bargains for the rest of us :-)

    I picked up Skylanders Giants Portal Owners pack today for $25 from the North Sydney store. I talked them down from the advertised $48 as they had 6 on the shelf and it includes the game and just the giant Tree Rex figurine.

    I just drove a 3 hour round trip to pick up a xbox 250gb w kinect for $95.00 and when I got home it's got scratches and shit all over it. clearly second hand.

    The store wouldn't do anything except offer me a refund :(

    • +4

      That is poor. Consumer affairs. If it was second hand, this should have been advertised!

    • Does that mean it didn't come with a 3 month trial of xbox gold (or whatever it was)? I assume that's still something they do with new xbox's?

    • +3

      Still its cheap at $95.00

    • -5

      except offer me a refund

      What else were you expecting?

      • +6

        A brand new xbox with a standard warranty how it was sold to me?

      I asked about that deal at DSE nunawading and they told me it was the display models that were on clearance price.

    Picked up The following from Hornsby DSE

    • NFS The Run (360)

  • Cheers, picked up Dude Bro Shooter 3 for $9.75
    They still had 3 copies on shelf at the Burke Street, Melbourne store (Though mine was from the store room - still sealed).

  • +1

    Man went to a couple of DS stores couldn't find anything.
    What a bummer

    Still some battlefield 3 but only on xbox

    Couldn't even grab one ps3 game

    So sad missed out on same cheap games

  • For those interested, Ghost Recon xbox has a pretty healthy online community.

  • Any confirmation emails? DS is becoming like COTD.

  • received both my DSE orders with games missing, one of them had 5 out of 8 games missing. no email or anything from them mentioning that they were out of stock, and they still charged me the full total for each.

    have sent them a stern email about it so waiting to here back, i understand that there were a lot of orders but the fact they never mentioned anything prior to delivery is appalling, i probably would have cancelled the order all together if they had told me the majority of my items were out of stock.

    • My order was partially shipped. The missing items are on back order.
      Both of these things are shown in the order status under my account.

      • These games are clearance. There is no such thing as back ordered. I find they use back ordered to stall you and sit on your money.

        • +2

          I had ordered Gears of War 3 a month ago as part of a bigger order yet it had failed to show up. Just called and they advised it was out of stock and they won't be getting it back in stock. No attempt to refund my money though. Had to ask them to do that.

          Many people would forget about old orders and DSE would end up pocketing it…sneaky Dick.

        • Thanks for the heads up. I found the missing items in another store, rang up, got them to put them on hold for me and then called customer service who were also very helpful.
          After checking other distribution warehouses for stock, they offered to arrange for a manager to call the store and request that the store post the items out to me. This won't happen for perhaps a couple of days, but hopefully will save me the inconvenience of travelling to the other store.

        • Same thing has happened to me on this sale and would have happened to many others. I was on the phone last night for an hour trying to get orders fixed and to put it mildly they are clueless. Most of my orders are just sitting in their system and have not been allocated to a warehouse. My orders have basically just been hanging and I am not going to receive much of what I have order. DS really need to pull up their socks.

        • Likewise had my eneloop batteries failing to show up for over a month. Finally contacted them about it and they claim there was some error. They didn't bother to contact me about refunding and were slow at it when i requested it.

  • Picked up a couple of Kinect titles for $7.50 each yesterday at the Brighton store, still had a bunch of clearance stuff left in several bins at the front of the store. Key to note is that the marked price is not correct, generally it's 50% of the already discounted price.

    Tried to get JB to price match, but they wouldn't budge…

  • I just received my copy of modern warfare 3 for PC and the code was already activated….most likely by dick smith staff…..just my luck….

  • I know some people get annoyed by stock levels; but I went to a DSE store (Ellenbrook, wa) this morning (Saturday) and was able to get max Payne 3, ffxiii 2, and saints row 3 on the ps3 for $12.50 each, they also had stock of other games, such as Raymond and tekken vs street fighter left on the shelves. Sure some of the big ticket games like skyrim for $10 were gone, but I reckon the deal, and DSE should get the +

  • There is still some limited stock left if you're willing to drive to get it.

    I got NBA 2K12, Street fighter vs Tekken, Need for speed - The Run.

    Desperate to play, but holding off until exams finish in a weeks time!

  • +2

    Got a email yesterday (about 10 days after order) that stock was exhausted and had to phone up for a refund.
    I expected as much after about the 3rd day, but having to call up for a refund is a bit annoying. Apparently the refund is to take a week. What a useless system they have.

    • Yep I have received the same emails. Spent over an hour in the phone queue over 3 calls waiting for them to pick up.

    • Same here. Ordered 3 games, they told me each was discontinued and not receiving further stock,(this was after when they said its on backorder) not sure about the 3rd game. Told them to cancel the whole thing. Looks like ill have to ring up as well. The games being Doom 3, Street Fighter X Tekken and Reality Fighters.

  • Yep absolute joke!! 3 out of the 4 games i purchased and payed for are out of stock! had to call for a refund

  • Same here. 4 games were cancelled. One game (Just Dance 3) was delivered. Had to fork out $7 for delivery of a game that I didn't really need :-(

    I don't want to call and be place on a queue.

    I created the PayPal disrupt. Hopefully I will get my refund soon!

  • For WA - Cannington, Carousel and Livingston are all out of stock now.

    I got 2 x Wii games, 3 x Xbox 360 and 2 x NDS games for $18! :)

    There was some left over in Cannington however they were being held for someone that called just before I came in.

  • I ordered 3 games on 4/6, heard nothing from them, then I called them last Monday twice, the first one was on hold then got cut off. I have been advised my order was on pick and should arrive in the next few days. I waited until the end of week and still no sight of my order, no email, no update. I will log a Paypal dispute next week to recover my money. Good bye DS, I will never come back again. Bad customer service. No wonder why more Ausies are buying goods overseas these days.

  • Yesterday i picked up COD Modern Warfare 3 PC for $5 and Starcraft II PC for $1.87 from the clearance bin at the Yeppoon store. So two games for $6.87 now there's a bargain. Glad i waited out before buying COD Modern Warfare 3 PC as it's now scans at the checkout as only $5 if you can find it any where. Kudos to those who paid $10 for it you got ripped off by $5.

  • +1

    Thank. Just got 3 copies of COD MW3 for $5 each. Vendor said prices were psychotic.

    • No worries.

      The salesperson seemed to laugh when i bought my COD MW3 + Starcraft 2 PC for $6.87 total. Crazy prices yeah. I bet he wished he knew it was there.

  • COD Modern Warfare 3 has been removed from the Dick Smith website so looks like it's over probably sold out every where. Was good while it lasted. $5 for COD MW3 PC was an absolute bargain.

  • Still waiting for games to come in :-(

  • I still haven't got my refund for the games I bought from this deal back in June!
