This is a bit of a dupe, but Dick Smith have listed the final price of Grand Theft Auto V as $79.98. See…

http://www.lasoo.com.au/offer/xbox-360-games/grand-theft-aut…

The $10 preorder offer ends today, so (I assume) if you pre-order today at Dick Smith, the game will only cost $69.98. A saving of roughly $10 from the $79 price of Target/K-Mart.

http://www.lasoo.com.au/offer/xbox-360-games/grand-theft-aut…

Unik explains it easily, "Pay $10 for pre order and dse will double it. Price tomorrow is $79.98. Pick it up tomorrow and pay only $59.98."

    nice! almost on par with importing!

  • berger on 16/09/2013 - 08:37

    It would still cost a total of $79.98?

    I put my $10 down last week, assuming its $10 off the final price, so i need to pay balance of $69.98?

    im not fussed, i was prepared to pay $100+ for it.

    • steveau on 16/09/2013 - 08:41

      If you put down $10, Dick Smith puts in an extra $10. So if you've put down $10, you should only have to pay a balance of $59.98.

          That's not confusing, berger specifically asked how much he would have to pay after he had already paid his $10 deposit.

  • IsometricBacon on 16/09/2013 - 08:44

    So you would need to make the pre-order in store? Was thinking of picking this up on my way home tomorrow.

    • steveau on 16/09/2013 - 08:50

      Yes, the pre-order bonus ends today (according to Lasoo).

        Usually the last day to pre-order something is the day before it comes out.

    links don't work for me? Am I doing something wrong?

      I've updated the links, try now.

    • steveau on 16/09/2013 - 08:57

      Just ask them to do the pre-order $10 for the value of $20 and yeah the code might be helpful

    • eathb on 16/09/2013 - 18:18

      When I did it, I grabbed a catalogue from the front of the store, flipped to the page with the preorder, showed it to them and ordered.

  • pitoui on 16/09/2013 - 09:15

    Do we need to give them the code "YG1954" when paying the deposit?

    • Stuzi on 16/09/2013 - 09:19

      you have to go into store and tell them the code YGGTAVPREORDER1 (for ps3 version, 2 for 360). Apparently its in the fine print of the catalogue.

      • cynic on 16/09/2013 - 09:37

        Thanks for that. It must be super fine print as I have been over that catalogue several times and can't see it :) I can see a code for the PS3 bundle but nothing for these.

    • cynic on 16/09/2013 - 09:20

      YG1954 is the Xbox 360 version

    From Whirlpool - Krozlink writes…

    I called up Dick Smith to ask about the $10 preorder discount. The guy said it was $89 so with the discount it would be down to $79.

    Do we really think DSE are going to play ball here? I know toxic got hammered for saying this I think he is on the money.

    Edit: I'm going to preorder from there and take my chances, worse case we get the game for $79 anyways.

    • froodo on 16/09/2013 - 09:23

      Yep, I think I would rather pay $79 at target than having a chance of paying $69 at DSE and having to deal with those SOBs. And I think the chances of paying $69 are very slim.

        Yep I have had trouble with click and collect - even without any mention of secret codes or preorder deals. Expect your local dick member of staff (3 phallic references in one - woot woot) working there to have no clue about what you mean when you mention this…

  • g12345567 on 16/09/2013 - 09:30

    From what I see. Current listed price is $87.98. Will they stick you with that preorder price less $10 = $77.98 on your invoice?

    Or will you get a receipt for $10 preorder discount meaning they may charge you the new release day price $79.98 less $10 = $69.98?

    • Stuzi on 16/09/2013 - 09:39
      +1

      That is still unknown although Krozlink from Whirlpool has rang them twice and they are saying $87.98-$10 is what his store are rolling with. I think it could vary depending on store and how they approach this, although a company email would have probably been sent instructing staff to charge $77.98.

  • j4ck on 16/09/2013 - 09:37

    Might give my local store a call and see what they can do.

    • steveau on 16/09/2013 - 09:42

      Interested to hear the outcome. You would think that when you pick up a pre-order, you would hope to pay the launch price… though $69 is very cheap.

    79.98 at target and 89 at jb, i dont get how they can charge you an extra 10 bucks for the blimp

    does the dlc really cost that much?

    • Koolbargain on 16/09/2013 - 10:46

      The blimp is free everywhere upon preorder. The $10 is just mark up.

  • FreoIsaac on 16/09/2013 - 11:05
    +3

    i think why people are getting confused about the pre-order deal and the current price is because the pre-order deal was in last weeks catalog and the week before that too (it was not just for GTA V but a whole lot of upcoming new releases that if you put $10 down , dick smith would match it and put in another $10 but the new $79.98 price for GTA V is only listed in the catalog that begins tomorrrow, so dick smiths system has not updated the price so if you ask staff they look it up on system today being monday its going to show the old price not the price as of tuesday.

    best option is to take a copy of both last weeks catalog showing the deal and this weeks catalog showing the price. also none of this can be done online, have to go to actual store.

    edit:here are the actual pages from the catalog -

    last weeks with the $10 deposit + $10 off deal - http://www.lasoo.com.au/catalogue/dick-smith-catalogue-weekl…

    this weeks catalog sale period 17th-23rd showing the $79.98 price - http://www.lasoo.com.au/catalogue/dick-smith-catalogue-get-o…

    It's really simple guys. Pay $10 for pre order and dse will double it. Price tomorrow is $79.98. Pick it up tomorrow and pay only $59.98

  • [Deactivated] on 16/09/2013 - 11:51

    • umadbrahhhh on 16/09/2013 - 11:56
      +3

      you're confusing people. Best case it's $69, worst case it's $79. Although if it ends up being $79 I'd be pretty salty, seems like a cheap grab at customers for the same price. Plus no midnight launch.

    For those who are a bit skeptical:

    "The great news is that the price will definitely NOT BE more than $87.98, and if you have your pre-order in that means we give you another $10 off that price (or off our launch week price if it's cheaper again!)"

        • jowo on 16/09/2013 - 18:43

          If you don't order from a PAL region (eg. UK), you're going to have issues with DLC. (have to create a PSN account for that country)

          And you can't trade in overseas copies to places like EB.

    Just went to my local dick smith, they told me the price was $87 something. Asked then if they would price match target (@$79) and they said no, that was below cost. Hmmm….

    • steveau on 16/09/2013 - 13:54
      +3

      Pre-order it at $87, get the preorder bonus, and tomorrow the price for the game will be reduced to $79.98 as part of their catalogue (that starts tomorrow).

      • Newtz4 on 16/09/2013 - 14:20

        Yeah that might be a plan… I'm suprised the guy didn't mention the $10 off though if he was still able to do it. I think he was the manager too.
        Went in to jbhifi also, said they would price match target, but that they weren't taking any more preorders so I would have to come in tomorrow to do it…

        • Newtz4 on 16/09/2013 - 16:05

          So I went to Target to buy it, even if it didn't come with the pre order blimp, and they weren't taking pre orders anymore either.

          So in the end I managed to score it from EB games for $59 plus priority queuing for the standard edition. Not sure if this comes with the blimp but I don't care tbh as it's a great price!

          Also, thought I would mention, the guys at Dick Smith said they had been playing GTA V all week out the back!
          Gotta love those Dick Smith employees!

        • yacman on 16/09/2013 - 18:00

          I have a feeling he means he paid $10 deposit and now tomorrow only has to pay $59 =$69 total like the rest of us…

          I am surprised though that EB would price match, they said time today they will be price matching $89 on launch and it's an order from head office but they shouldn't be because they don't HAVE TO price match at midnight cause the competitor isn't open (what a load of crap from them guys, so arrogant).

          Also on a side note, I confirmed today that this deal is confusing because alot of you don't realise this is a PRE-ORDER DEAL for any game at DSE not just GTA V it expires tomorrow because the game is released tomorrow and can no longer be pre-ordered, I confirmed with my store today there is no special code required it is all part of the promotion, but make sure you mention it because most staff seem clueless about this promotion.

          Now something you guys may have an answer for me for, JB said they sold out of the DLC blimp at my local store because it come separate to them last week and they have it out with the pre-orders, sick smith didn't even know they offered the DLC and said it must be in the case, can anyone confirm this?

        • Newtz4 on 16/09/2013 - 18:25

          Nope, paid $59 total. Paid it in full today (that way I get 'express lane' tomorrow), no deposit.

          He said that there had been quite a few people coming in price matching it with Target today, didn't even look up the price, just said "alright that'll be $59!". So looks like it could have been a mistake on his part!

          Although, the guy at the counter did say that there's a chance they won't be able to honor the price matches tomorrow when people go to pick up their copy, and if they won't just to tell them to give a refund and go to target to buy it! (he said that!)
          I'm guessing they will though, they're gonna be so packed out with people all day (apparently), so i'm guessing they will be trying to get customers in and out the door as soon as possible!

          I'll see if I can get a pic up when I get home.

    too much stuffing around with dick smith, staff dont know anything, have to tell them codes. They should make the $10 offer visible on their website, and allow you to pre-order online for pickup in store. less hassle to get it from Kmart/Target for $79 for me..
