    Nooooo! I need to go to MSY on Monday so they can replace some broken crap they gave me a week ago! lol

    I hear Holden Hill is all outta stock of EVERYTHING, guys! ;)

    Edit: some genuine advice, guys - don't bother with order online, pick up in store, just go straight in. They NEVER get back to you.

      No problem with ordering it online. Every branch is different I guess. I usually go to the Mitcham store.

    • blazeninja on 10/08/2014 - 09:33

      I rang in Friday lunch time to ask if they had an EVGA 770 2gb at ultimo. They smsed me in the afternoon that they did and I went to pick it up.

    • elusive on 11/08/2014 - 15:42

      Ordering online saved me. They were out of stock well before I managed to get there (with signs taped up around the room, no less), but they did fulfill the online pickup/reservation I made the day before.

      • The Gent on 12/08/2014 - 14:17

        Still waiting for my "order" of computer parts to be emailed through after over a week.

        I bought the parts the day after I ordered them from Adelaide CBD store, where I reserved them online. The reason I haven't cancelled is I want to know when they're actually going to get back to me.

        Their organisation (and customer service especially) is a complete joke.

        The only reasoning for their success is grey market merch, bought in bulk at sweat-shop prices and presumably underpaying their staff, based on the level of service you receive…to bring you (admittedly) fantastically low prices.

        Little bit angry at them at the moment, as you can probably tell.

      If you find a lower price online or advertised within 30 days of your purchase we will refund 120% of the difference.

      • spackbace on 10/08/2014 - 00:57

        That would make it only $1.60 after they refund the 120%!

      • wtfnodeal on 10/08/2014 - 01:04

        Too risky relying on TGG price guarantee if they come up with some excuses or sold out right before you claim the price guarantee (happened to me once at the time i emailed them was the competitor had stock but when TGG replied said out of stock).

      • tim_geo on 10/08/2014 - 01:04

        But I'm guessing they will say something along the lines of below cost price, so therefore instead, they will refund the difference between what you paid and cost??

        I haven't read the terms, I would strongly suggest anyone going down this path to think about it carefully.

    • [Deactivated] on 10/08/2014 - 13:21
      +1

      The pricing that is being offered to dealers - in various roundabout ways - is part of Samsung's strategy for promoting for the 'EVO' rebranding of the product-line, worldwide.

      If this price was attached to an EVO memory-card deal from an Aliexpress seller, it would - even now - been deemed 'fake/scam'…

      (The … was for anyone who recalls a certain, reasonably likely legit, Ali-seller EVO deal that was pulled several weeks ago from OzBargain.)

      The HC means High Capacity. Usually any cards over 4GB will be advertised as MicroSDHC. It is still a MicroSD card. Most old or low/middle end smartphones take MicroSD card up to 32GB. This card will most likely work on your phone.

      I did maybe 2 hours ago, I got two for $9 ea (they clicked the Victoria location button when first getting to MSY site). They checked the MSY website, saw the price, attendants jaw nearly hit the floor, looked at MSY warranty, said something about MSY must get some free from Samsung for some deal as TGG sometimes get stuff free too from Samsung. Honoured it no worries though, said to me twas a damn good price.

        The ones I got from MSY have a bit of white label paper stuck over the "10 year" part of the warranty… rather dodgy.

          It's definitely a 32GB card but is it genuine is what we're wondering.

        • elusive on 11/08/2014 - 17:56

          @nadan:

          I suspect the reader @foobar tested on either wasn't capable of UHS-I, or had other limitations (USB 2.0?). But I don't think I have an UHS-I reader either…

          Anyway, I'll test it in a couple hours. I hope I don't confirm his results.

        • foobar on 11/08/2014 - 17:58

          @elusive:

          I've already stated it was a USB2.0 reader :) I've had good results previously with it though, testing a SanDisk 16GB UHS-1 card in it now, so far it's slower than the Evo.

        • elusive on 11/08/2014 - 18:00

          @foobar:

          Ah, sorry, I didn't really read it properly. In that case, you'd max out at 30 at best. Maybe lower if it's one of those cheap eBay readers.

        • foobar on 11/08/2014 - 18:05

          @elusive:

          Using a different card reader now but I can't get this one to work in a USB3.0 port for some reason, currently writing to the Evo at 14.0MB/s via a USB2.0 port.

          The SanDisk 16GB card is going at a blistering 6.27MB/s so the Evo definitely seems faster than that which is a good sign I guess.

          I know I've had much higher speeds than these but I'm all out of readers I can think of, been so long since I needed to run these tests I can't remember how or in what I used to do them.

          @foobar:

          I am pretty sure it's genuine given the sale at different retailers, these aren't unique to MSY.

          @nadan:

          these aren't unique to MSY.

          A concern is that the little white sticker over the 10 year warranty might be, seems a really odd thing to do.

          The results are in on the SanDisk 16GB USH-1 card and they're not good:

          Writing speed: 6.06 MByte/s
          Reading speed: 17.5 MByte/s

          Again, this is in a USB2 reader in a USB3.0 port. I've since found another reader and tested the Evo quickly, it was no faster so I stopped it. Really need to get a fast card reader.

          Will be interested to see results from the Evo card in a high speed reader, hopefully it will deliver numbers similar to what you quoted above.

        • elusive on 11/08/2014 - 19:50

          @foobar:

          The USB 3.0 port shouldn't make any difference if your reader is only 2.0.

          I'm currently testing it on my laptop's built-in port. H2testw is going at 18MByte/s write, and that's going to take a while. Next, CrystalDiskMark followed by testing on a Galaxy S4 (i9505). Apparently the S4 is supposed to be UHS-I, and it's also Samsung, so with any luck…

          Edit: damn, apparently only the i9500 does UHS-I. This is bullshit, Samsung.

          I got 17MB/s read and 13.4MB/s write on the phone. Not too terrible, but it certainly doesn't live up to the specs.

        • foobar on 11/08/2014 - 20:08

          @elusive:

          13 write and 17 read is pretty much what I got.

          I've found that USB2 flash drives do generally work a wee bit faster in 3.0 ports, it's not a lot but I'm sure I'm not imagining it!

        • elusive on 11/08/2014 - 20:13

          @foobar:

          Laptop's reading at 37.5MByte/s. Looking decent. That's 37.5 and 18.0 vs the 44.4 and 19.1 @nadan linked above. And it also looks like the laptop reader is connected to the USB 3.0 bus, which is nice :)

          Now if only the device I was going to use it on (phone) could make use of it properly…

          As for the USB 3.0 thing, I suppose you might see that if you have a couple other devices on USB 2.0 sharing the controller shrug

          If you got similar speeds to my phone test, then your reader is likely not using UHS-I.

          Notice that it's got a great random write speed! Far better than sequential, even… this would be great as a ReadyBoost drive.

          I'm currently running comparison tests on a Sandisk card (SD, 16GB, UHS-I, "Extreme", from a DSLR). It's got better sequential write, but far worse random.

          And here it is:

    Finally worked out how to order pickup online, Click LOCATE US tab, click on PICKUP in Notification pop up, select store link from list at top, before ordering.

    Price still $26 at Brisbane stores. (stores closed)

    Ordered 5, then 4, … to see what happened - not enough stock, :-(

    But it allowed 1 at $26, but no more!!
    [UPDATE] Varsity Lakes will place more than 1 in cart.

    Try again in morning… Might have plenty of $9 stock??

    Had no problem online delivery (except added cost of post). Have 2 days to pay by bank transfer to avoid 2% fee.

    Might be able to find in store tomorrow, as not open today.

  • INFIDEL on 10/08/2014 - 14:43

    According to (Qld) site, only Geelong & QLD_Varsitylakes show in stock. Most are low stock, some no stock.
    Stock may be held back for sale from tomorrow.

      Was that pick up or delivered? Had posted issue above with pickup at QLD stores. They are closed, so haven't updated price.
