    Nice price on the wiiu bundle! Though i haven't really seen too many around lately.

  • would that be the new ps4 model?

    • 500gb is old?

      • +11

        Nah, some 500GB ones can also be the new one (coined the C chasis). It is more energy efficient, significantly quieter and has physical buttons instead of capacitative.

    • What the new model? Thought they only have the one. With one having 1tb hard drive but same model

      • -1

        New series is CUH-1200. CUH-1215 for North America and CUH-1216 for Europe. I believe we have Europe's version.

  • +1

    This particular WiiU bundle has been around over a year so there may be limited quantities left and it was probably scheduled for a price drop. $300 is a good price but with one game pad included and Mario Kart being the bundled game you would probably want another controller/remote. Are there any current specials on that peripheral anywhere? Also note that it is a pre-installed game (so on the plus side you don't have to download, on the negative you don't own a physical copy).

    • +7

      The Wii U has only ever had 1 Game Pad included as you can only use one of those per system. There was an update coming one day for dual game pad support but don't know if that will ever happen now. You can use your old Wii remotes or you can get a Pro controller. Target had remotes for $39 for the last 2 weeks but has ended now. They still stock the Pro Controller if you can find it in store for $40.

      There is also an earlier MK8 bundle with a hard copy of the game, the barcode is different and it doesn't have the pre installed text on the front of the box. Very hard to find but if anyone still has stock it will be Kmart. Could also try price match with Big W etc although don't try Target as they don't unless it's a specific sale.

      Anyway thanks Trent as always. PS4 is tempting at that price.

      Edit:
      Wii U MK8 Bundle with Hard copy of game SKU: P_42159568
      Wii U MK8 Bundle with pre installed game SKU: P_42073154

      There is a new bundle coming out in November as well with Mario Kart + Splatoon so that could be the reason for clearing this.

      It's an EB Games link so it'll probably be cheaper elsewhere Wii U + Mario Kart 8 + Splatoon

      • +1

        Thanks for the heads up, "Splatoon download code" anyone else annoyed with the trend for bundles to contain download codes (some of which eat up GBs of your quota) and not a physical copy of the game? Maybe they've done the math and concluded buyer resale is cutting into the volume they sell (so try and push download codes with bundles) but for many buyers resale is one of the driving reasons behind purchasing it. Personally I don't turnover the game within a week of finishing, I might sell it for half of what I paid six months down the line but it's comforting to know I can derive some residual value from it. To me a download code is worth little more than half the physical RRP. I don't mind the pre-installed component (it's been around since Alex the Kidd and before) but having that + a download code (not a "real" copy of the game) for that entry price is a bit of a cop out.

        • Downloadable games and "addon dlc/sequels' sold in console bundles and games bundles are increasing sadly. EB games in USA are pushing back since it goes against their business model and trying to carry less/none of the bundles that don't include physical games from what I heard on a podcast.

          Also sometimes they (sony) bundle a promo copy of a game with the console and those are promo not for resale editions and they can't be traded in for some legal reason.

          For me the value of a digital game is way lower than half of rrp.
          If a I'm buying a digital version of the game usually it's like under $10 and I'll wait for that to be GOTY edition too.

        • I personally prefer download codes.. I only ever play fifa and COD because fifa is in the console and when I get sick of it I can switch to my digital version COD without getting up :)

        • Probably because of people (like me) that buy the bundles, then return the sealed hardcopy of the games for store credit…

      • The BigW online ebay store has that particular Wii bundle at the moment. Comes to $351.96 free delivery using the CGIFT20 code at the checkout.

  • Cheapest price ever for PS4? Hardly any Kmarts have consoles any more. Getting new stock, or clearing old?

    • Yeah new low. I'd personally get the new cooler / quieter model but this is very cheap

    • +1

      If you're willing to go through the hassle of selling some games…

      The Big W deal is better…

      PS4 1T + 3 games for $489 with a 5% off using cashreward to buy eGiftcards

      • is it the new model? also cant find it online the deal.

        • Yeah, according this deal, it is the CUH-1216 model.

        • @ProjectZero: FFF I dont have a credit card only paypal so thats useless for me. augh

        • @ProjectZero: Well their all sold out, I just bought a gift card and the consoles are all sold out, no idea what to use 589 gift card on..

        • @shadowrukia: damn, sorry about that mate. I plan on going into the store to check for store and then buying the egiftcard on my phone at the counter

        • @ProjectZero: it takes long to get the gift card emailed its not a 3 second thing, just a warning I guess ima wait for a new bundle

        • @shadowrukia: How long did it take for you?

        • @ProjectZero: couple hours. most people its taken way longer

      • -2

        just a bit worry some of the bigw bundle games come with digital copy.

  • +1

    How do people know it's the old PS4 console? I was hoping to get the white PS4 with this deal

    • Ok I spoke on the phone to my local kmart and they said it's most likely the old version that's on sale (no white) since they are getting out of the gaming division.

      • oh…thats upsetting. NZ kmart went out of the gaming division in 2009 =(

        • Toys R Us too I think…

          Well my local one does not sell videogames…Someone please confirm?

        • @first in line:
          Aside from some of the Infinity and Skylanders stuff, correct

  • +7

    If it is on catalogue price matching should be easier so I don't see why big w, target, JB HiFi and eb games cannot price match the ps4 or wii u mk8 bundle.

  • My wife just put Lego Dimensions on Layby 2 days ago :(

    Anyway I can get it for the cheaper price?

    • +2
      1. Go to store
      2. Ask them to price match
    • I think you can cancel the layby and pay a layby cancellation fee. It was $4 if I remember. actually that was for big w so IDK what kmart would do.

  • Been waiting for a price like that on the Wii u Mario Kart bundle. Anyone know if this is online also?

  • +1

    The ps4 shown in the catalogue is all matte with no shiny half, meaning it must be the new model. Personally this is the best deal atm as I don't have to spend $100+ on games I don't want.

    • +3

      I have the old one and haven't noticed noise or heat so not sure what the deal is there, old or new great price.

  • +1

    Finally a good price for the mario cart bundle!

  • My two closest Kmarts have pretty much stopped selling consoles, with only a few old titles leftover. It's been that way for almost a year now so not sure how much stock you guys are fighting over who are interested.

    • +7

      Yeah guessing this is a final clear out of left overs. After all the sad housewives got their granny panties in a knot about GTA, Kmart have been slowly pulling out of video games.

      Selling copies of Fifty Shades of Grey to the sexless whingers is perfectly ok but, apparently.

    • +1

      Too little stock in my local too, can't be bothered…still have plenty of unplayed PS3 and Xbox One games….

  • +4

    (projector is not actually 1080p)

    • Yep Projector is 640x480 (just supporting inputs up to 1080).

  • VG Price on the PS4

  • +2

    PS4 comes up as $479 when i click on it.

    EIDT: ahhh starts monday

  • Gonna try get the PS4, low stock everywhere though…none at Dandenong

  • Can we go to other stores and maybe try to get them to price match the ps4?

    • +2

      try ebgames, target and jb

      • Do we have to wait till monday for when the sales on? Or can we be cheeky and try now

        • Go ahead and try, wont hurt to try

        • @shadowrukia:
          Exactly. If anyone tries, let us know.

          @bansharkfin: can you post a receipt? :)

        • +4

          I tried at Parramatta.

          The salesman showed me a text on his phone saying they have been instructed not to match this deal and they are confident Kmart don't have enough stock.

          So I tried Kmart thinking I could buy on 28 degrees and claim back the difference…. No stock there either. I'll keep waiting for a cheap deal. it will come lol

        • @bansharkfin: proof?

        • +2

          @shadowrukia:
          Look in the pudding.

    wouldve been huge bargain if that projector was in fact 1080p native

  • Is this online or in-store???

    • +1

      When you click on the PS4, it is written in-store only.

  • Should be both

    • Thanks for the neg. I should have checked first.

  • Daaaaaang, that PS4 is so tempting. The only thing holding me back is that it's the 500gb model (I know the storage space can be upgraded but that adds time and money).

  • $349 is quite cheap for a PS4, HN is still selling the PS3 for $298.

  • I tried to price match the ps4 at jb Brisbane and they said no, the price is way below cosy price

    • Below cost price? Sounds like they're telling fibs imo.

  • Guys, do we know what time on Monday the offer becomes effective?

  • +1

    could always go to the store, laybuy one, then cancel Monday and say you will buy it on the spot.

  • +1

    So what shops can pricematch kmart? that's a good question!

  • BIG W wont price match any PS4s at kmart

  • Just wondering if we had the final verdict on whether old or new consoles. Anyone have a hook up in Kmart who can check? atm we only have a "most likely" the older model. Its worth investigating. Mate of mines ps4 died recently. Little concerned this may be a thing for older models?

  • JBHIFI Said they WOULD price match the $349 500gb PS4 provided target had them in stock at the time of purchase

    • +3

      What kind of excuse when Kmart has sale they also want Target has stock!

      • Im retarded - I meant provided Kmart had stock not target

  • EB games price matched the ps4 for me today $349. They knew it was starting on Monday but did it anyway. YMMV

    • Did they give you a new or older model?

      • +2

        EB gave me the 1202A so new. JB also price matched Fifa 16 for me 89 down to 64 per Kmart catalogue so win win.

        • Nice, might try that instead of hoping the Kmart stock is newer models and not old.

  • Target priced match PS4(White) for $349 and Fifa 16 for $64 for me today. JB wouldn't do it till Monday since the Kmart sales wont start till then, but they said they'll still price match once sales start given Kmart have it in stock.

    • What store?

      • Parramatta is ready to do this

        But I price matched the 1TB bundle for $489 in the hope of selling off a few games

    • which Target was this?

      Tried to price match at BigW, staff said yes (after showing the kmart catelog)… then came back from the back store and said the manager said no for some stupid. >_>

      • Northland store in Melbourne.

  • At 7am this morning, there was only one PS4 left at Burwood (Vic) store. They're 24hr. The cashier said at midnight, he sold 7 in 10mins. His colleague said he moved 10 in the first hour. You'd want to be hitting the other stores right on open to get one at this price.
    Thanks to OP!

  • +1

    thanks op for post.
    my dad is retired and as soon as he picks up the junk mail he'll read it and put in recycle bin, noone else at home gets to see whats coming up on special >:(
    Went to kmart campbellfield this morning and layby my ps4 yeh!!!
    now ordered my flybuys reward kmart gift cards.
    to make even more cheap cheap :)
    cheers

  • IMO the Big W deal is superior (if you can get it) https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/215872

    I have read posts on other forums that people have sold the three games for $160 but even if you sell the games for $90 you are getting a 1tb console for under $400 which in my eyes is better than a 500gb for $350. Reports of people stampeding into stores at midnight over this is a bit ridiculous. But good post OP.

  • Got a wiiu bundle from Fountain Gate - they now have 2 left no holds.

  • WiiU bundle is also good but when Splatoon (which is a much more recent game than MK8) is bundled with the premium console in deals in the past month (for between $305 and $319) it isn't that fantastic. Considering the time since release it really should be the new RRP, but I guess the dollar hasn't helped things.

    In saying this I missed out on the Splatoon deals (not due to lack of stock, just laziness on my part and not having the spare $$$ at the time) so I've really gone after this. I have called nine stores, one store has two left but the person who works in the section doesn't get in until nine. And I can't drive an hour on the chance that the two consoles I was told were there last night are there. So yeah.

    • +1

      I like mario rather than splatoon so was worth the wait for me :)

      Just need to hope some other mario games come on sale leading into christmas.

  • What's so special about 2x $20 iTunes for $30?
    It's basically 20% of $40, the 20% off discount is fairly common

    • +3

      $10 off $40, how did you get 20% off?

      • Oh Oh, sorry mate, 20% of $40 is $32.
        My mistake, this Special deal get you another $2 extra off the common specials.
        sowy sowy sowy!

        • That extra $2 off is 5%. So yeah, it is a big deal because these iTunes card are 25% off……which are quite rare nowadays

  • Anyone have any luck online for the Wii U? Just continually says no stock for me - yet didn't state this was in store only. I was hoping K Mart would do the good deed again like a couple of years ago when they had the Wii Mario Kart at some v cheap price like $39. I was looking to upgrade and suspect others were too. I can't get to a store until just before closing tonight and so think that will be a waste of time. Not even going to try and persuade them to hold one over the phone (probably have no stock no anyway)?

    Just hoping there will be other good Wii U bargains before Christmas. Apart from this deal the console seems to have been left out of other retailers recent sales…..

    • Looks like only the one with preinstalled Mario Kart is in stock link

      • Yeah, that's what I'm after. Looks like it will go through but when I put my postcode in it says no stock for that delivery region….

    • See my post above if you are in Victoria.

      The Knmart website for stock is misleading as it said my store had none when they had 3

  • A Few left at Caboolture QLD
