Little side note

To all ozbargainers, please be as kind as you can to all Big W staff. Can you imagine them searching for each game in the draw then when they go put it in the cases, they go back to their register and see another 5+ people waiting in line just to do it all again with the next customer? You got some others who aren't interested in the deal (like people who have to get their digital photos printed) and some of them may get impatient. This causes big stress for both the staff member and the customer. Please praise them for their efforts as thats the least we can all contribute.

Thank you

        • Ahh cool. Are things marked down? How did you know which games would be $3 and which wouldn't?

        • +3

          @darren870: I used the self-scanning machine like a boss.

        • It was old ones and for little kids lol nothing epic

  • Any Wii U games??

    • I got a mario and sonic at olympic games, I think Sonic Boom was scanning at $3 too.

      • +1

        At HighPoint it did not!

  • +1

    Not scanning at that price at merrylands nsw yet…

    • Thanks. Saved me a trip.

    • Was there any games or consoles?

  • +2

    Too lazy to go out and hunt. I'll just sit back and enjoy the fun from home :-).

  • Which of these games has the highest trade in value at EB? Anyone know?

    • Wouldnt get more than $10 for any of them

      • Still, a quick $7 profit per game is not bad.

  • FIFA XBOX one bundle not on sale

  • At BigW right now, starting tomorrow at this store

    • Which store?

    • and what store is that

  • Wow, what a deal on those ps4 games.

  • Just went to Big W booval, no $3 games here. Checked out a bunch of Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles just in case, Nada. Cheapest I found was $59

    • +1

      I overhead the lady at the counter tell someone on the phone it must be a pricing error. A couple minutes later a male staff member removed all the xbox one titles listed above. There wasn't many. He looked very pleased with himself.

  • Sorry Parkmore Melbourne

  • That's weird that others aren't getting the prices. At South Yarra they all scanned as $3.

  • Can confirm got games at $3. 2ds pokemon y console for $50 and xbone titanfall bundle for $200

    • Whereabouts?

    • +1

      Can you post the receipt?

    • i thought sale hasnt started?

      • It has

        • did you get any

        • -2

          @toneey: yep 18 x1 consoles xD

    • +1

      Receipt must be at home somewhere with some other stuff I bought. Came to see my nephew and give him his presents (http://imgur.com/9lSxxXn) .. Deal is definitely live

      • Nice buy! Can you post receipt mate?

  • Nothing marked down at Big W Woden yet. They also don't appear to have any stock, unless they bring it out for the event?

  • Is there a difference between scanning it in isle yourself and having them do it at the counter? I figure it is the same system.

    • I tried both and got the same price for both.

    • The Big W near me (Warrawong) state on their self scanning machines in the isles that they only display the full price and that the discount price shows up at the checkouts.

      Can confirm this is how it worked for us when we were there yesterday buying some of the decor glassware (pyrex counterpart) items, which were 50% off. Scanned at full price on the price check machines in the isles, but appeared with a message saying something like "discounted price will show at the checkouts", which is what happened.

      • I believe the self scan devices are updated less often.

  • +1

    The sales girl had them right there on the counter marking them and said tomorrow. If I go in at opening tomorrow and there gone I'm gonna be pissed

    • why don't you put the items on hold? then you'll be guaranteed to get the items as they will be put inside the office.

  • +5

    $3 is just dumb. I hate when stores do this. It should be a gradual reduction. $3 just means the ebay sellers will be out in force tomorrow morning. Good luck to anyone that actually wants to play one of the games that gets sold from Big W tomorrow.

    • I hope the scalpers aren't out. There is not a huge profit to be made really. As long as it's not disgusting mayhem like when dick smith did this.

      Even the Xbox one games would probably trade in at EB for $10ish.

      • +4

        Yeah exactly. They trade in at EB for $10 which means they're worth $20-30 on ebay. It's a ridiculous clearance price, why can't they just slowly reduce them? There are games on that list I'd happily pay $10-15 for.

        • +1

          Probably why Big w is going down the gutter in recent profit results, they have no idea

      • +1

        omg i remember that, dick smith parramatta had about 50 or more people out the front waiting for them to open, utter mayhem

    • It has been gradual though, all of the stuff listed here was in our first round of drop zone. For example, battlefield was $10 on ps4/xbone. This would just be a final push to get rid of what's left

  • No QLD reports yet? Guess I'll have to make one of my own when I clock off work in 20 minutes!

    • +1

      Nothing at robina or burleigh

    • +1

      Nothing at Macarthur Central CBD

    • Nothing in Mt Gravatt :(

  • $3 Xbox 360 console? Are you freaking kidding me?

  • +2

    Macarthur central in Brisbane didn't seem to have $3 prices yet, still at normal drop zone price.

  • Is 'Dropzone' like a bargain bin or is it an actual section of the store? Where should be looking?

  • +1

    The "dropzone" is a section of the store, usually a mess to dig through.

  • Went to my local Big W stores I live inbetween Campsie and Rockdale and they both confirmed that price will reflect tomorrow and not scanning at the clearance price today.

    • Did they have much in stock though? I doubt we'll find any.

      • Didn't see much stock to be honest

        • I just called the campsie store.. and they said nothing like this happening tomorrow.

        • @trvchandru: I was just there a few hours ago & I saw nothing like this.
          I managed to get sealed copy of 007 From Russia With Love for Xbox original for $3 at Campisie store last year around Christmas period.

          I might try again early tomorrow morning. I'm really looking for Vita games

    • -2

      How did you ask? I just rang up and they have no ideas of a game dropzone sale…?

      So this is not a catalogue thing but grab up and get only discounted price at check out?

  • Just rang Runaway Bay, they've got no such items. (some ps2 games only)

  • +1

    Has anyone seen the sale started in SA yet?

    • +1

      Not at TTP

    • Yeah, at Cumberland Park. I bought the 2DS for $50

    • +1

      Was just at Cumberland Park, they're pretty much cleaned out apart from a few 2DS consoles. I picked up Murdered Soul Suspect PS4 for $3

    • 2DS Stock seems to be ok
      No Xbox One Stock in 100km radius of Adelaide.
      No PS Vita stock either, same radius.

  • Big W in Morwell, vic had bugger all decent games left…unless you want gears 3 on the 360.

  • +2

    I rang Liverpool store and the guy said its all sold out

    • He took them all :-P

      • I called and he said the only cheap consoles was the Xbox One Fifa bundle, of which they didn't have in store.

    • +6

      I called and while they were 'checking' I could hear chatter along the lines of 'hide them, put them away'

  • So much for starts tomorrow, but cheers anyway.

  • I rang Fairfield, they said it starts tomorrow.

    I suspect that there will be very limited stock!!

  • Went to WA store and not on sale yet.

    • Which store did you visit? Did they confirm it for tomorrow?

    • Which store in WA?

      • Sorry, Went to Mandurah. Staff member refused to give my friend the item in Warnbo and they went to Cockburn or Rockingham instead but no stock except DS and got 2. Another friend went elsewhere not sure where and they refused to give the xboxs.

    Work is going to be horrible tomorrow! These sales bring out the worst in every one.

    • +2

      i'll be stationed to do recovery in toys and home ent tomorrow. i'll rather crawl on all four and let them f**k me where the sun doesnt shine then actually attempting to keep the presentation up to standard.

      and then toys sales starts in a week . Oh god !!!!

      • i'll rather crawl on all four and let them f**k me where the sun doesnt shine

        Invitation accepted!

        Now which store did you say you worked at?

      • Yeah, Its a fun time of year!

  • +1

    Can anyone take a photo of the Vita with a 50 buck price tag?

    Not too long ago, they were throwing them out for 150 and I price matched at JB, but the one I got was a dud, then they swapped it and that one was a dud and I got my money back. 50 bucks and screw it, I'll deal with a broken touch screen…don't ask.

    Anyway, the reason I'd want a photo, is because NO BIG W'S AT ALL, in my area have ANY Vita's in stock, so heads up for anyone who was gonna go to the Big W's in

    Ringwood (Eastland)
    Lilydale
    Forest Hill

    Because you ain't leaving with shit.

    • Cheers, least I don't need to bother checking. Any games though, despite the lack of Vitas?

      • Southland don't have any vitas or vita games. They had one vita sd card for $3 when I was there.

      • Last time I was at Eastland, which is my main one, a week or so ago they still had a fair few games and a couple of 8gig cards in stock. I'd go have a look myself, but I've got pretty well all they had, they just have the standard ones like Killzone and Ratchet & Clank anyway.

    • Did they have anything from the OP's list?

    • Tried ringing pretty well every store within an hour's drive of my house this morning.

      Only place that had any Vita's left was Box Hill, and the guy claimed there was "like 50 people" waiting for them when they opened at 8am.

      In short, you ain't getting a Vita out of this, everything else is fair game.

  • Thanks op. Picked up Xbox one games from big w Marion SA. Plenty of 360, ps3 and Xbox one games left.
    Sniper Elite 3, fantasia, nba 2k14, call of duty ghosts, ufc, and forza 5.

    • Were they in the Drop Zone area? I can only seem to see COD Ghosts 360 there atm.

      Edit: found them.

  • +1

    Just talked to two ACT stores on the phone. Both confirmed sale starts tomorrow and stores should not be selling at those prices yet, i.e. "I wouldn't want to be those store managers" - Store manager I talked to.

    Anyway, both stores said they have had 50+ calls this afternoon about the sale and have asked some staff to come in at 6am tomorrow to prepare for what is coming. Good luck everyone.

    Oh and one of them read out all the games he has going on sale and there were heaps more titles than what is listed here so far.

    • If you spoke to Gunghalin they were lying ;)

      People have already ravaged the stand

      • Went to Gungahlin too. Only thing I managed to grab was "Lords of the Fallen" for $3. Luckily one of the staff was kind to spare it from his pile of games. On the receipt it says price overide from $59 to $3. The girl at the counter said the store manager told them to clear stuff now. They apparently had a few Xbox one consoles and some 3DS Handhelds that were priced at $3. So bummed I missed it.

    • Don't suppose you remember any standouts from the list?

      I'd love to know what else is up for sale!

    • I raced over to Woden after I read Lucifer's reply and turns out the person I spoke to on the phone had no idea. The sale has already hit there; all XBOne games have gone, only some random PS3 games and some Skylanders gear was left. Damn.

  • I just phoned every store in WA, no Xbox 360 Consoles are in stock, if ever will be.

    Was hoping to pick up (1), but my luck sucks.

    • Did they tell you which store has started this sale?

  • It's real. It's legit. Unbelievable deal. Just picked up some Xbox One + Xbox 360 Games for me and my brother. Thank you so much @testuser and @gem90! This is the BEST deal I've seen in all my OZBargain years. PS: I happened to arrive 30 minutes prior to absolute chaos at my local Big W (everyone was polite and friendly though). Once again, thank you and well done.
