      This post and the few above seem to confirm that this may be a deal for Sony employees only.

      I would imagine there is probably some coupon code that allows this deal to be processed?

      • tondyd3 on 15/07/2013 - 22:03

        no code , i just edit again with some screen shot :)

        • Telios on 15/07/2013 - 22:12

          No i know that price is available, but I was referring to all the people saying that they couldn't complete payment either BPay or Credit card.

          Time will tell I guess.

    Win Win!

  • bibiphok on 15/07/2013 - 22:32

    So, mistake or real bargain!? Would be good to see if the orders are not cancelled

    • liverpool2009 on 15/07/2013 - 22:34
      +2

      Sadly, I think it was mistake given 'staff clearance'. The back ordered are the most likely to be cancelled.

      • Telios on 15/07/2013 - 22:44
        +2

        Yeah as I posted above, the prominence of the "staff clearance" makes me think this was a leaked staff sale, and either was intended to be limited to staff only and they fucked up, or it was in the process of being implemented and Ozbargaineers caught them mid-effort.

        Maybe a few will slip through the cracks.

        • juzz0 on 16/07/2013 - 10:17

          Out of pure curiosity how often do they have these staff sales? Anyone know? The organisations I worked for gave a 10% discount at best (and even that excluded some blue ribbon items) $99 is an OBSCENE bargain for this console (compared to the standard prices which well exceed $200). I just paid $290+ for a console with one game and memory card.

    If Sony can sell these PS Vita Wifi for $99 it shows how much of a gigantic markup there are on these things.

    • BlazinPast on 15/07/2013 - 22:47
      +5

      Not really, it was on staff clearance. They probably made a loss.

        • BlazinPast on 15/07/2013 - 22:59
          +3

          I highly highly doubt they would be making a profit at $99. They wouldn't set their RRP that high if it cost <$99 to manufacture.

          I guess you don't know manufacturers deliberately highly inflate their RRP far above what it's actually worth.

          You're a tool. When it comes to video games, they don't do that. They make their money off software sales, not hardware.

          You need to compare how much an iphone or galaxy s4 costs with respect to a Vita.

    So i put 2 in my cart and got to payment screen then hesitated (do i really need this). Went back to reduce quantity to 1 and the site was ozbargained. Kept refreshing and item was still in cart. Then site went down. Opened new browser tab and 2 items still in cart. Kept refreshing and was able to pay via cc. Refreshed again to a Thank You order placed - backordered. Now i dont know if ill need them lol.

    Moral of the story (as with other OzBargain deals)
    1. Do not hesitate (buy now ask later)
    2. Dont be greedy (only buy quantity you need)
    3. Always keep trying :-)

  • caff3ry on 15/07/2013 - 22:58

      What payment option you used?

  • megatallica on 15/07/2013 - 23:05

    cc

  • bhum01 on 15/07/2013 - 23:07

    I just got the order through, and received a confirmation email.
    Paid by bpay.

  • burningrage on 15/07/2013 - 23:11
    +1

    I can report that through tortuous Back click and re-enter (not to mention the so many "are you sure?" pages with loading that took ages), the order was processed as backorder.

    Paid via CC.

    Now status is in Payment Processing.

  • sp3tsnaz on 15/07/2013 - 23:13

    I'm in the same boat, although I didn't get a confirmation page after the CC one and no email :/

    But $99 is pending in my bank page…

    So not sure if it took money out but didn't process the order.

    • sp3tsnaz on 15/07/2013 - 23:19

      Bah, just tried again and it did the same… now there is another 99 pending on the debit card and nothing in my orders and no email…

      Might email them and see what's up, don't really want to try a 3rd time… worst cases they refund me, best case they send me 1 and refund the other.

      • burningrage on 15/07/2013 - 23:24
        +2

        Suggest logging into My Sony and check on "My Orders" link and see how many Order ID has been generated….

        • sp3tsnaz on 15/07/2013 - 23:25

          Yeah checked there, none in there so it looks like it crashed at the payment stage before actually processing the order.

          Have emailed them with a screenie of my card balance so hopefully they can sort it out.

        • puffinfresh on 16/07/2013 - 01:28

          Same problem for me. CC has been charged, no email, no orders listed. I might do another order and select Pay IT @ Post just in case.

          Edit: Actually, after refreshing the failed page, I was taken back to the 'Place Order' section and clicked to continue, but an error said something along the lines of "Duplicate order detected. Check your email for confirmation". So they've got my order there somewhere.

          Edit 2: It finally showed up in My Orders. Still no email though.

  • Veeedka on 15/07/2013 - 23:14

    Do they expect us to pay for this now while it's in backorder?

    How do you pay via bpay… I got my order through, but I didn't input any credit card details or anything. Just a reference number.

  • GunnerMcDagget on 15/07/2013 - 23:14

    Yes. It still works. My order finally went through after about 40 minutes of pages timing out and about 5 pages stating that I should update my cart as these items are on backorder.

    • burningrage on 15/07/2013 - 23:34
      +1

      When you attempted to place the order, it will direct you to an "are you sure?" page to confirm you are ordering backordered product so no ETA given.

      After this, you are taken to payment method screen and if you made it past this page (assuming you're using CC as payment method), it will go to ANOTHER "are you sure?" page that ask you to choose one of 2 options (delete order or keep it as it is)

      It is after this page, then you get to the CC input screen and the rest is history…

      • sp3tsnaz on 15/07/2013 - 23:36
        +1

        Or if you are me… the rest is a Gateway timeout page with money taken and no confirmation lol

        • burningrage on 15/07/2013 - 23:38

          This is like russian roulette…. :-)
