    MUCH BETTER compared to COTD and 1-day - at least the servers didn't crash. Great stuff DaniloChan
    - VlVh on 22/10/2009 - 15:27
      
      Agreed. Managed to get one too!!
      - crumble on 22/10/2009 - 15:40
        
        @VlVh: The only thing I've wanted so far is the lego, but I could have got everything. That's huge really compared to COTD. Maybe the discounts aren't as huge but IMO they are good bargains nonetheless in their own right.
- Smigit on 22/10/2009 - 15:10
  
  grats. Got it in my cart and had it in there for 8 mins before it was gone.
  
  Decided I probably am happy with my PSP 3000, especially since it's able to run homebrew on it.
  - Crownie on 22/10/2009 - 15:13
    
    Yeah.
    Even @ $250, I don't think the PSP GO is worth it.
    Rather get another Xbox 360 instead :)
    - fma007 on 22/10/2009 - 15:21
      
      i'm sure they'll crack the PSP-Go soon enough :)
      Wonder if we still get the 3 free games with it..
      
      i wouldn't mind a xbox 360. The missing piece of my console collection
Crownie on 22/10/2009 - 15:07

GRRR.
Can't log into my account.
Had a PSP in my cart @ 3pm but it wouldn't let me buy it :(
obeelemon on 22/10/2009 - 15:15

Looked like they only had 3 x PSP Go's to sell.
- Smigit on 22/10/2009 - 15:19
  
  How do you know? I had it in my cart for ages before it said it had sold out.
  - obeelemon on 22/10/2009 - 15:25
    
    LOL! I don't really know how much they had, but when i tried to check out via paypal, it went back to the cart page and had a message that told me there were only 3 PSP Go in stock, and that the remaining stock was -3 (or something to that effect).
    - Smigit on 22/10/2009 - 15:26
      
      fair enough. I thought you just threw out a random number :)
    - rle02 on 22/10/2009 - 15:37
      
      when i tried to check out (after deliberating for about 10 minutes…lol) it told me there were -91 in stock!
suchislife12 on 22/10/2009 - 15:16

has the pc gone yet
- maf101 on 22/10/2009 - 15:21
  
  Nope. So far we've had:
  - Wii Nunchuck
  - Benq G2420HD 24” LCD monitor
  - Lego Bricks Box
  - Sony PSP Go
porsche26c on 22/10/2009 - 15:21

just got psp go i bought it but i have a funny feeling its not going to get delivered.
how did u know they only had 3?
- fma007 on 22/10/2009 - 15:24
  
  He is being sarcastic, probably because it sold out so fast and he didn't get one.
  - obeelemon on 22/10/2009 - 15:29
    
    you think so? :)
qtvinsta on 22/10/2009 - 15:25

i managed to purchase the psp go.

The whole experience was pretty laggy, but the transaction completed and now i have a printed order confirmation and tax invoice with the word paid on it.

- Smigit on 22/10/2009 - 15:33
  
  I'd assume they can't really afford to have the entire site go down on the hour if they are trying to sell other products to other people.
interiordesigns on 22/10/2009 - 15:32

im hoping they have a netbook
MiCCAS on 22/10/2009 - 15:51

I think the PCs are up next, then the iPod touch.. I could be wrong though, don't count on it.
- fma007 on 22/10/2009 - 16:01
  
  wrong.. 4gb mp3 player :)
  - MiCCAS on 22/10/2009 - 16:04
    
    Well, thar you go, cancel out that idea! :)
MrGareth on 22/10/2009 - 15:54

A general question about paypal… I think I have a paypal account, but I only ever use my credit card with it to buy things (i.e. I don't actually have any money in my paypal account). Can I still use the cashback system with it? Or I have to put in money first, to be able to get the cashback for some of these items being sold?
- ozblogger on 22/10/2009 - 15:59
  
  yeah the cashback will show up as Credit in your account, which you can use to pay for anything else
  OR, get it transferred to your bank Account for a fee (I think so)
  - danilochan on 22/10/2009 - 16:05
    
    yes, the PayPal Cashback will be transfered as credit in your PayPal account.
    - MrGareth on 22/10/2009 - 16:07
      
      Cool - I thought that perhaps I'd have to put money into my account, and buy the item using that money, to be eligible for the cashback. So I instead can log into my paypal account, but pay using my credit card, and still get the cashback, which would be put into my paypal account (which I could then use to pay for other things I buy). That's right?
ozblogger on 22/10/2009 - 16:00

Now this isn't fair trying to pass on cheap mp4 touch screen players, when people are expecting iPod touch
ahh nvm, it was on the home page as a banner,
for what it's worth the website seems to hold better than cotd for sure
rle02 on 22/10/2009 - 16:06

The Netvistas they currently have advertised on their website dont look so great.
They come in 3 configurations which are all powered by a by a 1.1ghz celeron…
20gb, 40gb and 80gb
I think i will pass if these are the PCs being offered
- fma007 on 22/10/2009 - 16:36
  
  well its pretty cheap :) what would u expect?
  - rle02 on 22/10/2009 - 17:08
    
    yeah I know… I was hoping for something to use a HTPC :)
brillian on 22/10/2009 - 16:15

I can't open their website now. Anyone has this problem?

  $9.99 Shipping when pay with PayPal Express.
furythree on 22/10/2009 - 17:09

it would be good if they updated the pictures of items as they go instead of question marks.
BarginHunter on 22/10/2009 - 17:13

not sure if i should buy two 1tb lacie hard drives or wait for 2tb drives to become cheaper. Also worried bout warranty only being 2 years would rather 3. Help me decide peoples :)
- furythree on 22/10/2009 - 17:18
  
  hold out. lacie are overrated. ive seen plenty of better deals regarding 1tb portable hdds on this site.
rle02 on 22/10/2009 - 17:13

I think the website has done remarkably well considering the traffic it must be facing!
Well done Shopping Square!!
- excite on 22/10/2009 - 17:25
  
  But you do not expect heavy traffic for such "hot" deals.

US Version DSi - Isn't the console region locked?
- danilochan on 22/10/2009 - 18:08
  
  we tested the machine, it is compatiable with all the DS game (AU version) our office
  - rle02 on 22/10/2009 - 18:16
    
    Does it come with a US charger?
    - danilochan on 22/10/2009 - 18:19
      
      comes 1x AU approved compatiable Charger
      We will take out the Original US Charger, because AU seller cannot provide it to customer.
Crownie on 22/10/2009 - 18:04

what's the difference between paying with paypal express and paypal? is paypal express only with credit card or something?
- danilochan on 22/10/2009 - 18:32
  
  Basically, they are same. but you only can get extra postage discount by choosing PayPal Express option in related promotion.
- anthony on 22/10/2009 - 18:52
  
  Paypal express signs you into your paypal account and uses the information contained in it. It will also use any funds in your paypal balance before charging your credit card.
  
  Normal paypal checkout you need to enter all your details however will only charge your credit card.
  This is good if you have a paypal balance and want your purchase to be charged to your credit card

rappez on 22/10/2009 - 18:20

just wondering… what type of warranty comes with it?
- danilochan on 22/10/2009 - 18:35
  
  for the NDSi, ShoppingSquare provide 1 year warranty service with 30 days DOA replacement. Same as our Digital Camera's offer.
suchislife12 on 22/10/2009 - 18:27

I voted negative when the website went down. How do I remove it?

Lame, cheaper on Dealextreme. $6 postage??
[Deactivated] on 22/10/2009 - 20:15

did anyone get the PC? I just found about the deal :(
suchislife12 on 22/10/2009 - 20:25

The pc hasnt happened yet
xiaoboy on 22/10/2009 - 20:29

Looking at their catalogue, the PC would seemingly be:
IBM Celeron Netvista 20GB Desktop PC System Refurbished
Celeron 1100
Frequency (Mhz) 1100
Bus Speed (Mhz) 100
Clock Multiplier 11
256 MB Ram
DVD Rom
Floppy Disk Drive
Windows XP Pro CD Key C.O.A ONLY

Good luck trying to run anything decent half decent with that performance.
For $9 + $20 postage, i guess it's great for older folks or the kids.
- Pixus on 22/10/2009 - 21:03
  
  "Windows XP Pro CD Key C.O.A ONLY"
  What does this mean? Do you only get the cd key? No disk?
- edgar28 on 22/10/2009 - 21:41
  
  I've got Acer P4 1.8, running Win Xp sp3…… run like snail (during boot up)…….have to reinstall and stop update to sp3 (stay at sp2) to run smoothly
suchislife12 on 22/10/2009 - 20:31

Oh well its basically free :P
xiaoboy on 22/10/2009 - 20:32

Not sure abt the iPod touch either, possibly re-furbished ?
Never heard of a Gen 3 either.
App's clearance store is offering a refurbised Gen 2 for $219 or Gen 1 for $199 with 12mths Mac warranty.
Suddently doesn't seem as attractive as before.
suchislife12 on 22/10/2009 - 21:01

Ipod. I guess the computer will be last :(
edgar28 on 22/10/2009 - 21:03
