Your site says "Warranty: 3 Year PLE Standard Return to Base" yet the XFX site says "XFX Exclusive 5 Year Warranty. XFX offers a top of it's class 5 Year Warranty on all PSUs."
Which is it?

sounds like they're offering to handle the warranty themselves for 3 years, after that you're dealing with the manufacturer.
Australian consumer laws may not agree with that stance.
Approaching the retailer or manufacturer
The retailer who sold you the product or service cannot refuse to help you by sending you to the manufacturer or importer. You can approach the manufacturer or importer directly, however, you will only be entitled to recover costs from them, which include an amount for reduction in the product’s value and in some cases compensation for damages or loss. You cannot demand a repair, replacement or refund from the manufacturer.

'No refund' signs and expired warranties
It is against the law for businesses to tell you or show signs stating that they do not give refunds under any circumstances, including for gifts and during sales.
Your rights under the consumer guarantees do not have a specific expiry date and can apply even after any warranties you’ve got from a business have expired.
I would leave law to the lawyers, I don't think that completely answers the question. If the store advertise 3 years and the manufacturer advertise 5 years, and as long as 3 years is 'reasonable' then does the store need to match the manufacturer? I don't know.
As i said the manufacturer advertises 5 years warranty only for goods sold in the United States. Its in the XFX warranty statement on their web site.
I bet you the XFX Power Supply warranty for Australia is 3 years warranty. Australia is down in the distribution chain which is as it states on the XFX warranty statement "governed by a separate agreement".
@The Land of Smeg:
Cobalt is 100% correct on that one however if it is dependent on country then that's another thing all together.
Besides your opinion became worthless as soon as you ripped off target by refunding a 7 year old GTA game.
And by the way lawyers don't handle this stuff, ombudsmen do.
@Day2Deal: I don't think that you quite get how am Ombudsman works. Ombudsman positions are based on law, not personal opinions and they use real lawyers to take action.
They can't take action on something just because someone personally thinks something is 'unfair', they have to be reasonably sure after getting advice from their lawyers that they would likely win in court if the company doesn't resolve the problem before it gets that far. They are not going to take action against a company that has no basis in law to do so.
Are you a lawyer to know that his interpretation is '100% correct'? I'm not saying that he's not correct, I'm just saying that the quoted paragraphs don't 100% confirm what he said.
Maybe he is 100% correct… but that can't be confirmed without a clear position statement (which by nature is based on law) that specifically mentions this type of situation of differing warranties, or a lawyer qualified to say so.
I'm just saying that just because you agree with something that should be right doesn't mean that it actually is.
Without 100% knowing the legal position, it is possible it could be legal for a store to only offer 3 year warranty even on an item which is usually 5 years, in a case where the item is heavily discounted and the store makes it clear that the warranty is a lesser term but still reasonable for the price paid. So there is room for doubt.
This isn't a matter of my personal opinion, only a matter of fact.
You bringing up a old topic from last year about what I did last year is a low blow that had no relevance to this topic AT ALL, and only proves that you didn't even read that topic properly. If you want to talk about it I am happy to talk on PM or another post that is actually on topic for that.
You people's are all getting confused. There is no need to go to an Ombudsman or any other legal person in Australia. You people's need to actually read the XFX warranty policy on their web site. You people's are quoting the United States only warranty when saying 5 years warranty.
Only 5 years warranty on stock bought in the United States. Every where else in the distribution chain is governed by a separate warranty agreement. So this 5 years warranty that you've been quoting about applies to the United States only. It says so straight in the XFX warranty policy for Power Supplies.
Any way i've already said this enough. Enough said!.
@The Land of Smeg:
Actually I have been in similar situations such as where the company refuses to replace a DOA product and the ombudsman is who fixed the issue for me. He fully looks into it and checks the evidence then acts on it.
The exact same thing can be applied here and as for the lawyer crack you tried, my mother is and said that he is correct and you obviously didn't read as it says depending on country or situation if you like.
And read that topic and it was obvious that you were only doing it for money, you only donated because you were coping so much crap.
@Day2Deal: You are so far off topic it is not even funny.
As hollykryten keeps pointing out, XFX warranty for Australia 3 years, 5 years is only for USA.
On this side topic of ombudsmen & consumer law, Ombudsman helped you in your case because they already had a clear position (checked by a lawyer) that you were in the right. DOA is not the same as a 3 year old product that is not under store warranty but is still under manufacturer warranty. I have not been able to find a clear position statement on what ACL expects in this circumstance. I don't know what your lawyer mother has to do with it.
As far as my post history, that is far more off-topic than anything else. It has absolutely no bearing on the topics of this thread or the side topic of ACL.
If you really must know: it was a (failed) attempt to make a point about Target/Kmart feigning a sense of moral obligation when really they were looking to make a quick buck from publicity. Honestly $49 is not a huge amount to me and I didn't do it to get rich for the sake of $49.
If I was really after getting $49 then I would have got the store credit and kept it to myself then posting my deeds on OzBargain. It wasn't until someone pointed out to me that I shouldn't keep the $49, I realised my mistake and sought to correct it - it was purely an unintentional oversight. If I would have realised that where the $49 should go was important to the message when I first did it I would have donated in the first place, but you can't change the past.
If you read all my posts in that topic carefully you could actually see that I was trying to say a lot between the lines which I realised after is not the best way to make a statement because most people didn't get it. I hope that it explains it for you and you find it satisfactory since you keep bringing it up.
@The Land of Smeg:
wow you can't read, once again i'll repeat 'however if it is dependent on country then that's another thing all together.'
It's checked by the ombudsmen, i would know because i've used them before unlike you who obviously doesn't know what your talking about.
and DOA isn't the only time I've used them.
If you look at the warranty statement on the XFX web site it states 5 years limited warranty for products purchased in the United States and looks like that only applies to end user customers in the United States. In other words 5 years warranty only when sold in the United States. And then it goes on to say this "Other persons in the distribution chain, including those purchasing hardware products for resale, are governed by a separate agreement.". So obviously distributed in Australia being resold at Australian retailers being further down in the distribution chain it falls under a different warranty agreement than that 5 year limited warranty that they have in the United States. It could well be that the XFX warranty for the goods sold in Australia is only 3 years warranty.
It's common that customers in the United States get say 5 years warranty but customers in Australia get a lesser warranty.
I did say that depending on country it's a whole other thing, no harm done though. :)
Op as you have put the words Free for shipping on over $200
with this deal not equal $200, could you please list the shipping prices.
they have a shipping calculator on the product page. aus post registered is $16.21 to adelaide, i'd imagine it would be similar for other areas :)
$23 to tas
Thanks so much for this. Been eyeing PSUs all day and was just about to settle for an EVGA 1300W one for around $290 (much more wattage than I needed), then this just pops up at the right time.
1300watts and $290… Looks like you'd really strayed.
was just about to settle for an EVGA 1300W one for around $290
Guess we know who bought the tri-sli graphics cards from the deal earlier lol
How much are these normally?
It has the same internals as a Seasonic 1050W Gold and they sell for $259+

For SLI / XFire users I imagine, otherwise it seems like overkill?
Yep overkill for single GPU users. Good for someone looking to buy a premium PSU in this price bracket maybe looking for a 750 or 850W unit.
Yes would need 2 285/290/980/titanx to actually use 70% of the wattage of this.
Was really tempted but the reviews on Neweggs are rather mixed. A lot of failures after 3-7months.

thats a shame, they do have good warranty and PLE seem to be reliable to people think its worth biting the bullet?

Anyone have feedback on PLE?
Never heard of them
Negged by PLE?
Haha!, my normal store of purchase is UMart, double negg inc?
I'm in QLD, I'm also not aware of them. MSY or UMart for me.
You must be in the Eastern States.
They've had a few branches in Perth for years now; they're definitely a cut above MSY in terms of customer service (though not as cheap obviously), as well as reliability, turnaround on orders/shipping and how they deal with disputes/RMAs but I have had problems with them either mixing up orders and sending the wrong stuff out or taking their sweet goddamned time to backorder stock (granted, I have placed about 20 orders with PLE in the last 5 months; work-related).
I have no experience with the new Heatherton branch in Melbourne though, so I have no idea if those guys have their sh*t together.
Like pretty much everyone else out there though, their online stock availability status doesn't mean jack. Always call up and confirm/re-confirm stock availability before you order anything.
Been buying from them for many years in Perth. Their customer service is way above MSY and Austin. They have been reliable and have made a good name for themselves in Perth.
+1 for PLE no hassle warranties. Had a Logitech KB get a super squeaky space bar and the swap out for a newie was painless.
not sure, if it has Denki San Ace Silent Fan in it or not.
Good price. Review of this unit's bigger brother, which should be same platform. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story…
dang :/ just bought TTe Toughpower 850W from MSY for $189. Not yet opened, not sure should I return that one and get this one instead.
I've always wondered: PSUs are not typically a component that depreciates, does it? I mean new models come out and then the price goes down, but generally speaking, like speakers, sound cards and keyboards, these do not really go down in price over the years. Would it be a silly choice, then, to buy one now and use it later? (Assuming that I WILL use it maybe 1 year down the track).
Yes it does depreciate in price over time.
Sound Cards and Keyboards go down in price when a new model comes out to replace it and that also applies to PSU's. I mean it's not as if sound cards and keyboards that were around 5 years ago are the same price today. Take the Logitech G19 keyboard for example that retailed at retailers for $399. LogitechShop ended up selling that same keyboard a few years later for $115 delivered.
his question is more regarding the technical capabilities. And he is right in that regard. Ibm model-M keyboards are over 20 years old yet outperform every keyboard available on the market today.
Wasn't mistakable he was asking if the price goes down over the years. Said nothing about technical capabilities.
I don't trust because you have rather bad message reading skills.
Was not like that at all. shiny1 was asking if the PSU prices go down over the years. And would it be a good idea to buy one now but use it a year down the track if the price on PSU's doesn't go down over time. He essentially wants to buy one now if the price on PSU's doesn't go down over time, keep it in storage and use it a year later when he needs to use it. There was nothing about PSU technical capabilities at all in the message. You totally misread it. You need to brush up on your message reading skills.
Message was all about price. Shiny1 is thinking about buying it now (but asking if the price might go down even further at a later date) and if not would it be a good idea to buy it now and keep it in storage for later use. Must be going at a fairly good price at the moment.
@hollykryten:
well that doesn't really make sense seeing as once a device is phased out and replaced by newer models you can't even buy it anyway unless it's second hand. Your keyboard example is very rare too btw.
Now the only thing I can hear in my PC is my HDD.
This model should have the same guts as a Seasonic, which makes this an excellent price
