FIFA 16 $55.20 (PS3/Xbox 360) $63.20 (PS4/Xbox One) @ JB Hi-Fi

510

Fifa 16 (at least previous generation) has had a big price drop, now undercutting other deals from Target and Big W. There's also the Deluxe Edition on PS3/Xbox 360 for $75.20, which is slightly more than Mighty Ape had it, but they are no longer listing the product. Good deal in comparison to the RRP. The next gen deals aren't as good but are on par with other stores as well as Mighty Ape

EDIT: Added Xbox One and PS4, similar to Target and Big W pricing for Standard, haven't checked Deluxe comparison

    Price dropped for PS4/Xbox one as well.

    Standard:$63.20

    Deluxe: $85.60

    • Cheers, will add to top

    • is there anywhere that actually says its $85.60? a friend isnt going to believe me without some sort of proof

      • +1

        you should really read all the comments, it DID say that price, seems to have gone back up to a price that is too high to justify IMO (deluxe)

        • haha oops my bad…they came up between the 20 minutes of me trying to work out where on the jb site it was $85 lol…it all makes sense now. i pre ordered the deluxe a few days ago but have a $20 voucher from ninerewards so its not too bad for me i guess

  • Is the deluxe really worth it at all?

    • +1

      Only if you play FUT

      40 premium gold packs is worth 6000 FIFA points (Cost around $78)

      The extra $20 on top of the standard version is worth it for me.

      • I've only touched on Ultimate Team. I should look into a little more.

    • +1

      Ultimate Team is the main reason why I am upgrading from Fifa 14 (Servers will be off in February) so the Deluxe would be better for me

      • +5

        So they actually force you to upgrade every 2 years now?

  • Odd prices, is there20% off games at the moment?

    • Not that I can tell, maybe a last ditch effort to shift units before launch?

  • +1

    Wow….now FIFA games even lose value prior to launch.

    FIFA games.

    One of the quickest depreciating value items on the planet!

    • I think it has a lot more to do with the volume of sales, being one of the most popular annual release titles that is released, the cheaper prices by Big W forced the other retailers to lower their price as the volume they will sell with smaller margin profit will lead to larger profit plus potential additional item spending (also JB would purchase the largest quantity out of the big 3 retailers) selling this game cheap therefore having a potential cheaper wholesale rate so they can afford to lower the price more than the others.

      But if they don't lower the price they could be left with a lot of excess stock they cant move if people go buy it from Target or Big W instead and since the bulk of sales for this game would most likely be purchased in the first week of release having the right release price is crucial.

      Or you could be EB and charge $110 and not move many units but make triple your competitors in profit per unit and be lucky to make the same amount of profit as them.

      • Mostly it has to do with the fact is is an annual release.

        Same thing happens to other sport titles and COD, Ass creed etc.

        The yearly cycle for these games leading into the holiday period is all about planned obsolescence.

        If you wait until Feb/Mar after most are done with these games, youll get them for $20-$30 on ebay , gumtree etc

      • Or you could be EB and charge $110 and not move many units

        You know EB Games makes up for the majority of videogame sales in Australia, right?

        • +1

          Actually I didn't. I thought most parents savvied up to their over inflated prices and it was just he few grandparents and maybe really young kids that fall for their ridiculous over the top RRP sale prices.

          I guess OzBargain isn't common knowledge for everyone ;(

        • @yacman: It's amazing to see people go there and pay full retail price when a few shops away they could be getting it for $20-$30 cheaper at somewhere like JB (which probably isn't the cheapest option either). I actually used to go into EB just to see the newest titles and told people in the register line that it was cheaper at 'x' place out of spite for EB, bloody ludicrous pricing.

        • -2

          told people in the register line that it was cheaper at 'x' place out of spite for EB, bloody ludicrous pricing.

          Douche move, you're just making the employees look bad for doing their job.

          Also to be fair, EB doesn't have the ability (like every other store that sells games does) of selling other things in the store to the customer to gain profit. Big W, JB, Target etc. can afford to sell their games at minimal margin - or even a loss - because the customer could walk out with a TV or sound system, which gives them enough profit to cover a few hundred more game sales.

          Furthermore, though EB is more expensive, you generally get extra stuff with it if you pre-order (even though I hate that publishers hold that stuff back from the customers in the first place).

        • +1

          @noodlesfordaddy: This guy is the Batman of fair pricing and you advise that a douche move? If I was in the line and someone advised me of that I'd be more than happy to listen.

        • @Gringoesai: No shit, I'm saying you're making the employees look bad though for something not under their control.

        • @noodlesfordaddy: So you go to Coles and you purchase a 250g packet of product x and the you walk past the woolworths and product x is cheaper, you think that is the staff's fault? Most people are aware that the staff in these types of stores (ie; corporation's) have nothing to do with price setting. Couldn't disagree with you more. Have you worked in retail?

        • Most people are aware that the staff in these types of stores (ie; corporation's) have nothing to do with price setting.

          You'd think so, wouldn't you.

          Have you worked in retail?

          Sure have. At EB Games. So I know what I'm talking about.

    • The price actually goes up after launch, just look at it now $70-80 depending on the shop.

  • Do you really need to pre-order now to receive the extra digital goodies in the standard/deluxe versions or is that marketing talk? I just plan to walk in on the 24th.

    • If you are going to play Ultimate Team pre-ordering is worth it, deluxe edition if you are a hard core for Ultimate Team, otherwise no reason to.

      • But I thought the deals just came with the game whether you pre-ordered or not. Damn, I better get on it.

        • I was under the impression that pre-ordering the Deluxe edition just secured you a copy, and maybe gave you a steelbook like last year.

  • I got fifa 14, is fifa 16 a lot better?

    • If you want to play online, you will have to upgrade. Fifa 16 looks like a minor upgrade and fifa 15 was a minor upgrade, so I would say it's moderately better.

      • icic
        no online for me
        just a casual gamer (although no gaming these days with a newborn :(

        • Offline modes have been neglected in the last few years, so I'd just wait until you can get fifa 16 at a good price.

    • +1

      aahh will have to
      was always a fan of PES in the early days (or winning eleven, the jap version)

    • +2

      I tried PES demo this year, surprisingly good, even to a 17 years FIFA fan like me

  • Thanks

    The Xbox one deluxe link is for the standard edition

    • Edited, thanks

  • So the Deluxe kit says it comes with 40 gold packs worth $75.
    The standard version says it comes with 15 gold packs worth $15.

    One of them is FoS (full of …..)

    • True

    • +1

      Oh you can swear on the internet, I won't tell.

    • The one with 15 is standard gold packs. The one with 40 is premium gold packs.

    • +1

      Deluxe comes with 40 Premium gold packs and the standard comes with 15 Gold packs.

      • -1

        I think the point is that:
        Standard 15 gold packs worth $15 ($1 p/gold pack)
        Deluxe 40 gold packs worth $75 ($1.87 p/gold pack)

        • +2

          Isn't the point that premium gold pack > gold pack so it's not an apples-to-apples comparison?

          *** 3 rare items vs 1 rare item per pack if you care about that sort of thing.

        • -1

          @dazweeja:

          Ah, didn't notice the distinction between premium gold and gold. You'd think they could make it more discernible, like call one gold the other silver.

        • @Bozman: Or Gold-Gold, compared to Gold. ;)

  • tried the demo on ps3, seems to have a big learning curve..and am i the only one who feels it is very SLOW motion (the players movement etc..?)

    • Yes, it's to encourage passing

  • Need to give Pro Evo a look in this year, got huge reviews this time. This deal seems like a 20% off price too.

  • +3

    Hoping that NBA2k16 will have similar deals!

  • Still too expensive for my liking …I'm happy to wait a few months for the fifa 16 to go under $50

  • Does Dicksmith price match at all? Have a gift card with them. Hopefully their catalogue comes out today..

    edit - looks like they do unless its 'below their cost price' which I cant imagine would be the case..
    http://www.dicksmith.com.au/techxpert-advice/price-matching

    • I'm sure he'll be a dick about it.

      He has a novel of T's & C's

  • Anyone seen a good Xbox One Bundle with FIFA 16?

  • Just now clicked the "pre-order" button on the Deluxe version and now showing as $107 at checkout. Wtf JB

  • yeah $79 for standard xbox one, I missed the boat :(

  • after my big justification on the cheap price looks like they have put the prices back up to unrealistic pricing. what a shame.

  • Is it just me or are prices back to normal now? PS4 standard coming up at $79. I did see the discounted price about fifteen minutes ago though…

    Woah way too slow haha

    • Nope, it's not just you, it has returned to its original price.

  • +1

    Important to note guys that the Gold packs are received at a rate of one per week. Not all at once. So you will still have a povo team for a while.

    • if you get the deluxe its 2 per week but in saying that, i dont think ive packed many good players

  • TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, JB will never be cheaper than TARGET AND BIGW, It was a price error, price is now back to $79….

    • who confirmed the price error?

      they will price match on the day (Target or Big W) but I don't think anyone else was offering the Deluxe (worth it if your into ultimate team) will be that cheap anywhere to price match.

    • Standard is back to $64…

  • Already a pre-order, but I'll be getting them to price match this:
    http://www.target.com.au/p/fifa-2-16-ps4/58319482 $64

  • Any good prices for PC yet?

  • Does JB price match target/big w if I pre order today? I think they do not price match on pre order? I would like to use my $50 jb giftcard…

    • I was able to price match when I pre-ordered FIFA, but that was 3-4 years ago.

      However, I didn't get the bonus stuff that comes with pre-ordered copies of the game. From memory, it was something for online (I think this was before UT existed) that I didn't care about anyway. The bonus stuff wasn't offered by target/big w/whomever I wanted them to price match so I thought that was pretty reasonable

  • how much is the deluxe edition at Big W and will JB price match it on release day?

    • -3

      $64

  • looks like it may of been a price error after-all anyone manage to successfully purchase?

    Base game on next gen is $64

    Unfortunately deluxe is siting at $107

    • Only PS4 Deluxe version is $107
      Xbox One Deluxe: $99

      • Thanks I missed that, still a bit too expensive IMO

        good luck to anyone who got it for $84.

        You think we could price match a receipt in-store?

  • The price is back to $64. not bad. I will pre-order in store tonight.

  • JB back to crap prices. Where's the best place for deluxe version?

  • I was too slow too :(

    • Now that standard is back to $64, should this be re-opened with a revised title?

      • Nope it's equal to Big W and Target so not exactly a deal.

        • Fair enough but it's a deal for me. You can't pre-order at that price at either of those places. There's value in getting it sent out tomorrow and not having to try your luck at physical stores on Thursday.

  • I'm still seeing the cheap price. I bought one when this first went up and got a confirmation.

  • not bad for the 67th best soccer game of all time.

  • Great, I had Pre-ordered the deluxe edition over a month back.
    Waiting for FIFA 16 eagerly.
    Have been buying FIFA for a decade- have FIFA 06 on PS2 and then all versions of FIFA games released since 2008, including doubles- for PS3 and PS4.

  • Ps4 deluxe for 99/-
    For me, it to s a bargain!

  • Good prices, but if we order now we won't get it until next week.
    I want to play NOW!

  • so i preordered and put down a deposit after seeing it at $55. there's nothing on my receipt that says it was $55 when I preordered it, so will i have to pay $64?

    shonk

    • I don't know, most people are saying it was a price error, maybe contact JB about it?

  • Did anyone manage to screenshot the JB price of $85 for the PS4 Deluxe ?

    I just called EB and they said they will price match as long as i bring proof of that JB price when i go to pick it up

  • I just received this from JB Hi-Fi after pre ordering yesterday.

    'Thank you for your online pre-order for “FIFA 16” through JB Hi-Fi Online.

    In keeping up with JB Hi-Fi lowest price guarantee for all pre-orders we will be issuing you with a partial refund in the amount of $15.80 as the price for this title has since changed.'

    I'll certainly take it, but seems odd? Has the price dropped to $50 somewhere?

    • Yeah, that's strange. I bought it for $64 this morning, and have just received that email as well.

    • Yep me too, only difference is I bought mine for $64 as soon as this offer came up, before it expired and then subsequently got marked down again.

      I would gladly take this game for $48, a true bargain!

  • Bought Deluxe Edition yesterday for 107, got email today that 22$ will be refunded since the price has changed :) So total to 85, very cheap for Deluxe Edition.

  • Still works for $64. Placed an order for store pick so i'll grab it after uni today :) Thanks op.

  • Priced at $64 for PS4 in store. Just purchased mine. No price match necessary. Deal should be unmarked as Expired.

  • +1

    Anyone know what's the in store price for the deluxe version ps4? Is it also priced in store at $85?

  • got it for $55.20 as per the advertised price the other day, contacted them via twitter asking if the price would still be honoured, given I preordered it when it was being advertised for that price.
    bit of back and forth with the twitter dude and the store got it done.

  • Just got my $15.80 refund from JB Hifi - only paid $55.20 via paypal initially, total price now just on $40. Sweet

    • Me too on PS4 version….do you think they'll realise and chase us back for the money? lol

  • Any chance of still getting the deluxe edition for $85 now?

    • Sorry meant to upvote
