EB Games Wacky Wednesday

190

EB Games are having a Wacky Wednesday sale this Wednesday, following on from their Mad Monday the other day.

See links in discussion below for more details:

  • UFC will be on sale for ~$55
  • Mario Kart for Wii $69
  • DJ Hero $99
  • Rock Band guitar/drum/mic for $55
  • Rock Band kit + AC/DC Rock Band game $88
  • Wii consoles $296
  • Prices are in store and online as well
  • A new Edge Plus card will be launched on Wednesday offering 15% discount on pre-owned and 15% increase on trades
  • Edge Plus costs $29.95 and comes with a 12 month game magazine subscription
  • The old Edge card will not be available for sale from 16/12/09

Mad Monday had some good deals (eg. Fifa 08 for PS3 $10) so I'm hoping wacky Wednesday also delivers the goods.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and give this a pre-emptive plus, only because I picked up a couple of christmas presents on the mad monday.

  • I am doubtful about this one. Can't see it being anywhere near as good as Mad Monday, only because the sale is going to be in store aswell.

  • +2

    New Edge+ cards are $29.95.

    (Plastic card, not paper!)

    • $29.95 for 12 months
    • 15% more on trade ins
    • 15% off on pre owned titles
    • 12 month subscription to the Citris media published Game Informer Australia magazine.

    • Supposedly your name will be printed on the card.

    • It acts as a loyalty card, new scheme to come in next year.
    • Regarding EDGE+: This is old news.

      We've known about EDGE+ for a good month now thanks to our good friend Crazy CS @ whirlpool: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1320173&r…

      Also Wii consoles $297 tomorrow…

        Thanks mate, he's also linked a picture that was originally published on WP. Not everyone uses WP though, so thanks Turd for the heads up.

      • "We've" who is "we've", dont think ozbargain is whirlpool.

        Anyways that's where I got the info from, but didnt want to cross link.

  • I am planning on buying a PS3 tomorrow - I was looking at the Play TV 250gb bundle with two games at EB - I'm hoping they'll make it even better value tomorrow.

  • I am hoping that have some great deals on wii games, need to increase my collection…. :)

  • +3

    I would like to see the older PS3 games going for cheap, but they are always so hard to find! On the Mad Monday sale, they had FIFA 08 for $10, so I grabbed that one, but that's all I grabbed.

    I have something like 25 Xbox 360 games, which I mostly bought for between $10-$20 each. It's much harder to find PS3 games in this price range!

    (In case you're wondering, I like to collect games - even if they're not really that good. I don't even play them, they just get added to the collection. It's my own sad little hobby).

    • haha you're just like me, except I intend to play the games. But I have so many games I don't even know where to start!

    • +1

      I buy most of my PS3 games cheap from the UK. A good search engine site is www.find-games.co.uk

      • thanks very much for this website.

    This was just posted on EB Games Twitter, something to do with Rock Band + AC/DC for $88

  • I shall admit I was surprised last Mad Monday at the good deals… I was even going to purchase something, but they don't except paypal… only credit cards.

  • Photos gone….. deleted.. deal was rock band + acdc for $88

  • i put the pic into photoshop to fix the blurryness and i think forza and halo are $68?

  • •UFC will be on sale for ~$55

    WOW Sight & Sound have UFC for $44 (360 + PS3) in stores and the web shop - https://shop.1wow.com.au/

    • UFC 2009 $39.00 at Big W.

  • Those 2 deals are amazing prices.

    •Rock Band guitar/drum/mic for $55
    •Rock Band kit + AC/DC Rock Band game $88

    • agreed. where is more info?

  • UFC is platinum now, hence you can get for around $50 everywhere now. And it is in stores for $55 right now anyway.

    Hahaha just got this info from a mate at ebgames…. they just sent an email to their staff

    I have put teh pic on Flickr..

    • thats the same one i posted 20mins before urs.lol

  • where was the info about the rock band deals?

  • What are the diff old EDGE (paper) vs 2010 EDGE (plastic)?

    • 2009 - 10% trade values, 10% pre owned, FREE, untrackable

      2010 - 15% trade value, 15% pre owned, $29.95, Free subscribtion to EB's own mag, plastic, trackable.

      • Apparently the mag is Gameinformer? That's not EB is it?

      • 2009 - … FREE

        How did you get it free? I paid for mine $10-$20 can't remember exactly.
        My edge won't expire till July 2010…so what happend after 16 Dec 09? Do I still get 10% or 15% just like new edge?

        • Oh sorry I mean $10. Mine was free coz I bought a lot of items from EB at the time and they gave it to me for free.

          Yea all EDGE 2009 cards expire 31/12/2010, unless otherwise shown on your card. ie. if you got yours on the 1/11/2009, it will expire on the 1/11/2010.

          They have stopped selling the EDGE2009 cards now

    Sales are also online prices too..

    From EBGamesAus twitter:

    WackyWednesday…. available in our stores and online!!! soon… very soon

    • Nothing special for Wii!!!

      • Never anything special for Wii, needs to have good games first!

      • $99 Guitar Hero 5 isn't too bad. It usually doesn't get the lower price like the PS and XBox versions do. When I looked at it on the weekend it was $159.

  • Is it just the games that come on their flyers, or are there more specials?

  • should update the description.
    im pretty sure the deal is smackdown 2010 for $55, not ufc

  • Are those rock band instruments compatible with Guitar Hero 5? I just bought the guitar pack on the madness monday sale and was wanting the whole band set but they didn't have a sale on that.

    • Where is the rock band bundle??? There must be more items still to be added.

  • my bet is it's store only.

  • The rock band bundle isn't showing up as a wacky wednesday deal on the site. Search for Rock Band and you will find it. I just bought it. Postage was $6.43 for express. Pretty happy with that. I thought the sale wasn't supposed to start until 8am though…

  • its up, search " Rock band". Brought Rock Band and GTA IV. 130 all up including postage. Bargain.

    i wasn't able to get to a store till this afternoon so Im pleased that these went up online

  • Just picked up the Rock Band Instrument Pack + AC/DC for Xbox 360. Awesome deal. It says that it includes "1 x Wireless Guitar", but I thought that the Rock Band guitar for 360 was wired? Is it a typo?

  • There are a few good older games for $30. For example, if you havent got Prince of Persia you should buy it right now. And I know no-one will agree with this, but Fracture is a good game! I'd pay $30 for it!

    • I bought Prince of Persia a week or two ago from K-Mart for $19. :)

  • Any bargain for Wii?

  • Lips bundle at $34 is a great price. Includes two wireless mics ($50 each if you buy the MS branded one, which is identical to the ones in the bundle). I just checked compatibility and these work with GH:Metallica and GH5 and RB2 and Beatles:RB. But not earlier titles.

    $99 for DJ Hero also the best price going.

  • yep, grabbed cod:waw and gta4. thx!

  • my ps3 rock band + AC/DC game arrived today! super fast delivery considering I selected standard shipping.

  • has anybody who brought online not have thier package shiped yet? I ordered before 9am that morning and it still hasnt been shiped. Im really hoping it arrives before christmas.
