    Not bad for the PS3 500 combo. However that link sends me to a page where it's $558 and temp out of stock.

    • unity1 on 05/12/2013 - 03:23

      Prices have yet to be updated as I mentioned above. They should update their stock levels when they update their prices. They will look foolish if they don't have any stock on the first day of their sale.

      • BH1 on 05/12/2013 - 03:30

        Seems like it is only available by click and collect, contrary to their T&Cs. Any way looks like most stores have stock at the moment.

        Offer was online only, so please explain to me how all Dick Smith staff have hoarded the stock.

        We deal with enough ridiculous customers on a daily basis, and even more now it's coming into Christmas, so quit making accusations at a generalised level about myself and the rest of the companies staff, particularly when you've no idea on actual stock levels prior to the deal.

        Sincerely,
        Disgruntled Employee, thanks to you.

        Don't patronise people. DSE deals always low stock and even there's stock is hidden behind counters by staff

    • xordis on 08/12/2013 - 14:49

      If you want GTA5 and TLOU this is a good combo.
      I would put both those games around $50 value, which puts the console down near $200.
      500GB drive/caddy adds another $50 which means you are paying about $150 which isn't too bad for a PS3 at the moment.

      All based on you wanting those two games and not wanting to upgrade the 500GB drive anytime soon.

    • patella on 05/12/2013 - 09:19

      looking at the product codes they appear to be the same battery (HR-3UTGB8) which would mean its 2000mAh and good for 1800 cycles. The only difference would be the colours.

    • ESEMCE on 05/12/2013 - 09:24

      Rouge is 2nd generation, Uomo is 3rd generation.
      If anything, that just means that Uomos are likely to be "newer" from the factory.

        You can get it here -
        http://ru.nkon.nl/r-maha-powerex-mh-c9000-charger.html

        This is the memorex-branded maha. You can get the maha branded one for a bit more.

        Bought recently - no issues with transaction and delivery, and started using a few days ago. Bloody brilliant. Using the "break in" program it revived (up to 2000 mAh) 4 x 2500 Sanyos (pre-Eneloop) that I haven't used for at least 6 years and were dead and wouldn't charge on any other chargers. I'm going to run the break in cycle on all my batteries now - just to get them to max / prime condition.

        Such a waste buying other cheapo chargers over the years - better just to buy something decent like this.

    Quick question. Why do these Enloop deals always get such a big backing?
    I mean I can go to my local store or search online for other brands for cheaper.

    Is it that they have larger cycles? Or are they more powerful?

    Thanks.

    • ESEMCE on 05/12/2013 - 10:43
      +4

      They're Low Self Discharge (LSD) rechargeables made by the people who invested the technology.
      They're significantly better (in my and other's opinions) than standard rechargeable AA's.
      If you can find cheaper LSD batteries, then by all means post a deal, but I suspect you can only find cheaper on the inferior standard rechargeables.

      • shredu on 05/12/2013 - 10:48

        Thanks for the explanation.

        Another question I am always wondering, why is $20 deals on this batteries a good deal, considering that it has been like that for the past 2-3 years or so?

        Has the model improved but still at $20? Or is $20 still a sweet price point even after so many years?

          50% off standard price even if it's quite regular is a bargain…
          As I pointed out above, it's been quite some time since the last offer (not counting to 2 for the price of one offer)

      • TedJ on 05/12/2013 - 15:53

        If you can find cheaper LSD batteries, then by all means post a deal, but I suspect you can only find cheaper on the inferior standard rechargeables.

        Like these you mean? The Turnigy AA batteries are my go to if Eneloops aren't currently on special. Their AAAs are also excellent.

        • ESEMCE on 05/12/2013 - 16:11

          Have you tried adding postage?
          Hobbyking batteries are good, but thy're regularly out of stock and their shipping cost makes them more than $20 for 8.
          In my case Shipping is $10.06 for a total of $22.78

        • TedJ on 05/12/2013 - 22:15

          Have you tried adding postage?

          Yes, which is why I pointed out that I buy them when the eneloops aren't on special. ;)

        • ESEMCE on 06/12/2013 - 08:38

          You must be desperate for batteries if you can't wait for them to come back on Special!

    • team teri on 05/12/2013 - 10:55

      They are absolutely perfect in devices that spend lots of time off but when you need them you need them. I.e. you don't want to grab that flashlight in a power outage and find that the batteries are flat…

      At this price you only have to recharge them twice to be ahead of Duracell single use batteries (even when those are on special).

        • unity1 on 05/12/2013 - 11:05

          It doesn't say while stocks last in the T&Cs so they will probably honour all orders over the 4 days (for the batteries but probably not the PS3) but you just never know with DS.

        • AlanHB on 05/12/2013 - 11:12

          You're right. I shouldn't be so picky anyway considering PS3 prices are dropping across the board. I'm just sucking myself into the ozbargain rampage.

  • AG_ACT on 05/12/2013 - 11:34

    First time I'm buying Eneloop batteries. I'm just about to order a charger from Amazon; and I was wondeirng:
    1. do the batteries come charged in the pack
    2. I know it's not the best for them, but can you temproarily use a standard energizer etc charger to charge these for the time being?

    • BlazinPast on 05/12/2013 - 11:43
      1. Yes.
      2. Why not just keep using your Energizer batteries until your new charger comes? I think you could use Eneloop batteries in an Energizer charger but I wouldn't recommend it. Besides, they come fully charged and you're given 8 of them. That should last you a good month until all the batteries are completely drained.
    • cheepwun on 07/12/2013 - 15:43
      1. All eneloop batteries come pre-charged. The longer they have been on the shelf, the less charge they generally have. They like being kept in cool storage too, since higher temperatures contribute to charge loss. Generally they are just like buying disposables since they come pre-charged, so there's not much to worry about there.
      2. any charger that charges Ni-Mh batteries can be used, though it's best to use a better one that terminates the charge properly and each battery getting individual charge treatment. All rechargeable batteries benefit from a good charger that charges properly and terminates at the right time.

      Keep in mind:
      "Recharge each battery up to 500 times"

      The higher capacity per cell means shorter recharge life. It's a trade-off.

    anyone know is there any difference between Dick Smith "Eneloop Tones 'UOMO' 8 x AA Rechargeable NiMH LSD Batteries" and the COTD "Eneloop Glitter AA Rechargeable Batteries 8-Pack" ? same price with free shipping but COTD u get extra $10 voucher for spending $25 ?

    • huydn on 07/12/2013 - 03:50

      COTD glitter pack is only 2nd gen.

      UOMO and ROUGE packs are 3rd gen, meaning they have:

      • More max cycles (1800 vs 1500).
      • Retain more charge while sitting on the shelves.
      • (Theoretically) more charge out of the box. For example, the UOMO/ROUGE packs I just got from DS were made in 04/13. Not sure about the glitter packs as I never owned them. They could be made quite recently as well so need confirmation here. I think this applies particularly for AAA packs. Some 2nd gen packs I got online were made as early as 08/10 (they are still being sold) while some 3rd gen packs are made in 11/12. So they have more charge out of the box but not too big of an issue I guess.

      And lastly as you said free shipping only applies to orders over $25.

    Mine have 2013-6 printed on the top of the pack (June 2013 manufacture date, I presume)

    All batteries in the Rouge pack have white tops except the white battery. They went to the trouble of giving a pink top to the white batteries in the Rouge pack. Attention to detail. While the Uomo batteries all have black tops.

    Back of the Rouge pack shows big eneloop logo in sparkles. The Uomo pack omits the sparkles on its logo.

    Both packs look better in the flesh than online. These 'limited editions' sure can suck you in…

    Thanks OP - got 8 Rouges.

    I'm getting charged 4.95 delivery when I try to check out?

      Likewise. Sydney. Looks like they've added postage on now.

        Good news. They're available at same price with free postage from the Dick Smith ebay store.

        Use this link and scroll down -http://stores.ebay.com.au/Dick-Smith-Online/_i.html?_nkw=eneloop&submit.x=0&submit.y=0

        I didn't realise they had an ebay store. It popped up in a price comparison search. It looks legit and I see there have been previous Ozbargain deals from it. I've ordered a pack. It says they're available for another 22 days - let's see if that means at this price and with free delivery.

        Funny - I wasn't sure I wanted to buy - really just getting them to replace AAs of other brands - but then the price went up by the delivery charge and I felt I had missed out - and now feel I've scored a deal by finding them on the ebay store and saving the $5. My wife and I earn pretty well- so the $5 (or the $25 for that matter is neither here nor there) - Typical (Oz)bargain mentality right ? A bit sad really - but we love it.

    Can anyone recommend some battery cases ? I got 5 or so years ago - basic compact plastic ones that clip close and can hold either 4xAA or (4xAAA snugly in a different configuration - simple but clever design).

      The Blow moulded packaging the batteries come in could be easily used as a case..
      My UOMO's were delivered yesterday and the back-plate of the packaging slides on/off nicely.

      You can get those exact cases off ebay very cheap.

      • belbo on 11/12/2013 - 21:05

        Thanks. I see they have some nice ones - including eneloop branded ones, pretty cheap the nkon site. Not sure about postage though. Something to bundle if you're buying the maha charger from them.

    Should they be charged before 1st use?
