  • Jinglebell on 17/08/2014 - 12:28

    Tempting to buy an extra controller and charging station, but that's an extra $95.
    People were saying the charging station is just for neat looking and save electricity (stop charging when full).
    Anyone has suggestion whether to get them?

    Just under 1400 of them sold now, still ticking along at a couple a minute on average.

        How often do they have this sale? I might get one next time pending ppl's experiences of this sale. Will be interesting to see how many people will be put on backorder. 1715 sold in the last 24hrs, I wonder if they actually have that many in stock

      • Oatmeal on 17/08/2014 - 19:48

        Dick Smith sells a PS4 for $500, getting $400 from the customer and $100 from eBay. Is this correct? If so, how are eBay making any money on each PS4 sale?

        • muncan on 17/08/2014 - 19:56

          Correct. In this case, eBay don't need to turn a profit. This is advertising 2.0, where everyone's a winner!

        • Oatmeal on 17/08/2014 - 20:07

          @muncan:
          I understand that they get good advertising from this but still… seems like rather costly advertising if this is indeed there aim.

        • Sleutheren on 18/08/2014 - 00:02

          It's also advertising PayPal. I'm sure they've had a lot of new members join since they started running these campaigns which are only valid if you pay via PayPal.

          +1

          @Oatmeal: LOL 2~3 Million $ in Advertising spends over couple of months for ebay is pocket change. They make that much money in couple of weeks by all the commission.

          Samsung spent like over 5M $ in Australia alone for a single phone S5 Marketing costs

          And ya if Ebay teams up with DSE and sends Sony a cheque of couple of Million $ advance payment for 5000 PS4 @ 400$ each I am sure Sony will say welcome. Thats a lot of revenue for a week's sale for even Sony's PS Department. :P

        • teajay74 on 18/08/2014 - 13:11

          @Oatmeal: I suspect that eBay in the long run wants to become a kind of default 'shopfront' for the big retailers, so they will probably lose money in the short term in the hope of gaining far more back in the long run through commissions.

  • kaal on 17/08/2014 - 19:13

    There's going to be a lot of disappointing customers. No way DSE have that many ps4 in stock.

        No, I am not. I doubt they have nearly 2000 ps4 to send to everyone. Goodluck though as I got one from the first ebay sale

        • Sleutheren on 18/08/2014 - 00:04

          I'm fairly confident Dick Smith would have an agreement in place with Sony, securing the required amount of units. After all, getting the console into customer homes is the hard part. Once it's in, Sony can sell the software pretty easily. Win win for both companies (and eBay and PayPal).

        • Gehirn on 18/08/2014 - 13:15

          Why not? On launch they were able to get themselves an extra 300 consoles to sell on the day to those that didn't preorder. And now here we are in a time where PS4's are more freely available.

  • stewy on 17/08/2014 - 19:15

    I stuck to my saving mode for the first sale, but the temptation was too much second time around!

    Although, I just realised the system accepted my PO Box address but the info page says they don't delivery to PO Boxes. This will be interesting trying to deal with them to change it…

  • jusrus on 17/08/2014 - 19:41

    I bought one and a couple of cheap Vita games too. Transaction appears in my PayPal account as saying paid etc, but money hasn't come out of my bank account - is this usual for these DSE/eBay sales? Do they charge on delivery?

  • vid_ghost on 17/08/2014 - 20:07

    If you count the previous sales counter before they reset it

    The total number of consoles dick smith has sold today is 4816 PS4's As of writing this at 8:10pm
    At $100 off the standard price of $499 thats a saving of $481.600 dollars that stayed in all our pockets LOL Well done to everyone who purchased one. ozbargain'ers came out in force for todays sale!

    At this time, 8.20pm 1,835 PS4's have been sold since 10am, equating at RRP ($550) that $1,009,250 dollars worth of PS4's have been sold. Minus the $50 discount DSE applied before the 20% discount came out, $917,000 worth of PS4's at Dick Smith price before the ebay code. 20% of $917,000 is $183,000 worth of ebay rebates to Dick Smith which is a hella costly promotion just for PS4s not including the TV's, Headphones, Smartphones, games and accessories that are also being sold. My guess is at the end of the promotion on Thursday ebay will spending $300,000 plus or more on this promotion.

    • muncan on 17/08/2014 - 20:49

      Probably!!! :) Happens all the time.. Some people out there even pay full drive away prices for cars and feel happy when they get a free set of $80 mats!! FREE lol .. i walk into a dealer and get $6000 off the drive away price FREE mats, tinting, it all comes down to the person.. if you dont know you could of saved something you will never care.

      • bagachin on 17/08/2014 - 21:04

        I will pay you 50 bucks for every 1000 bucks you help me to save on my next car purchase~;) No kidding btw…I know it's possible, but I just don't have the skill.

        • vid_ghost on 17/08/2014 - 21:34

          use a company like carbroker.com.au
          to get you the best price on the car model you want..

          No obligation free prices they get a commision of around $250-600 if you buy the car at the price they supplied you.. THEY do get close to rock bottom so its not a bad idea at all… another tip is look on carsales.com.au for the cheapest pricing for the model car you want and ask whatever dealer you go to to price match and toss in extra's like tint, mats, ext.

          Have your mobile phone with you with the link of the price on carsales to prove it.. if they dont want to know about it then call the number on the ADD and go buy it from "THAT" dealer!

      I tried a PS4 last weekend at a friends place, played Battlefield 4, Watch Dogs and Infamous Second Son. Not really interested as all the multi-platform titles I can get for cheaper on PC (Except Ubi titles, don't like their PC versions). I am more interested in an Xbox One for Halo MCC & Forza Horizon 2, but am not knowing whether to bite the bullet and buy one or both next time a good promotion comes up closer to Xmas with more games available such as The Crew and AC:Unity which I will only play on console. Will definitely get a PS4 when Uncharted 4 launches though.

      • vid_ghost on 17/08/2014 - 21:31
