      Not really.

      • Agreed

        If u factor in 1TB + 3 games

        Some previous deals were better

  • -5

    Would be better if it was the 1TB console.

    • +104

      And if it was free and home delivered.

    • +70

      and if they gave you $368

          +1

          Haha, seems like you crossed that arbitrary ozbargain line!

      • Tough. You went to Target instead. Now you have me, your ugly boyfriend.

      • And she was blonde.

      • Hot girlfriend better than PS4

        • +14

          Cost more than $368

        • -1

          How about you start with a girl…who's not necessarily 'hot'…

        • Then maybe it would be cheaper perhaps…

        • Lets hope the whatever bundled with is good then, if more than $368 :)

        • @Gavman:

          Not for one hour

        • How about a hot girlfriend who buys you a PS4 for Christmas? Hint hint

        • @Gavman:

          Much cheaper if u get a street hooker…

    • +29

      and my axe.

    • -5

      and woke you up

    • +2

      better yet if they gave you a tv to play it on

    • And cured cancer.

    • +32

      The only downside is you end up stuck with an xbox one…

        • +16

          I hear JB is bundling their xbox one with a sense of humour next week.

        • -4

          Better than the Nothing that comes bundled with this PS4 :)

        • @TheOneWhoKnocks: He meant it does not come with a sense of humour. It's only for serious gamers!

        • -2

          @daerka: Who live in their mum's basement room :)

      why would you want to give a handy to Roy Roger's horse?

      punctuation means the difference between helping your uncle, Jack, off a horse and helping your uncle….

      • I LOLd :)

    • You mean R2.

  • Folks what console has the best Driving Simulator? and what would that game be called? ( i wasn't very impressed with GT5 on PS3)

    • +7
      • Xbox One has Forza 6 (skip 5 - heard it was mediocre) and Forza Horizon 2 (not a sim, but close enough).
      • Both PS4 and Xbox One has Project Cars, which is a new direct competitor to the Forza games.
      • The best options (if you have the money) is buying a gaming PC, where games like rfactor and iracing has even more realistic options to tinker with.
      • Forza 5 was awesome, it just got destroyed in reviews because it was a launch title and people wanted to hate the XB1. It was the best playing Forza by a country mile, but because it had cardboard cutout crowds (like every single racing game in existence….) and the optional microtransactions it copped a lot of undeserved criticism.

        With Forza 6 out now however there is really no reason to go back to Forza 5, as it's an upgraded F5.

        One thing that works against the XB1 is the lack of steering wheel options. There are only a few that work, and they're all $500+ iirc.

        • Loading times on Forza 5 are terrible. Worse than GT5 even.

        • @twig: they were terrible, no doubt, but nothing beats GT5s loading. Going from one menu to another took 30+ seconds of loading lol.

        • Have you posted this exact comment somewhere else? I'm getting the strangest sense of deja vu. Maybe on Reddit?

        • The Logitech G920 was on sale recently I think it worked out around $250. Cheap option for Xbox one racing, but I have to be honest after setting up my PC properly there's no way I'm going back to console racing.

        • +1

          @awaiko: Nope, wrote it on the spot here.

    • -1

      I hear you can drive golf carts on your PS4.

      • +3

        small golf carts or a large console?

      • +3

        Your inner fanboyness is protruding joeno.

    • What silverrat23 said.

      Personally, I went with the Xbox One for Forza. Project Cars isn't all that flash on the One though, apparently runs better on the PS4, and even better on the PC.

    • I'm absolutely amazed with Project Cars mate. I'm playing on the PS4 version over at ROOZ (Google it) and having a blast with clean racing and weekly race meetings in a league with several divisions to suit all skill levels. The game apparently runs a bit better on PS4.

    • Gran Turismo 7 is coming to PS4 and is the best real driving simulator, also PS4 has all the best wheels to get the simulation experience.

    • +1

      Since you're asking which console. I am assuming you're not interested in a PC Driving Simulator (because that's where you'll find the best experience). If that assumption is true, then Project Cars is the most "realistic" driving simulator, and it's available on both XBox One & PS4 as suggested above. That's my recommendation.

  • +1

    Do u guys know if this is the new version?

    • +1

      500gb is the old stock

      • +5

        OK but is it the CUH-1200 or CUH-1100? The 1200 is a revised hardware version

        • All 500gb are the new one

        • +3

          @Spentgecko07: So even old stock sitting in warehouse magically got a hardware revision?

        • +1

          There's still a lot of the old cuh-11xx stock floating around so unless you purchase in store it's uncertain what you will get (which is why this deal is good). Strangely though, I called big w bourke St and south yarra (VIC) and neither of them have any stock for the 500gb model, and supposedly the next restock isn't until the 7th, when this deal will be over :-/

        • +2

          @lyle88: the Melbourne city store has over 30 consoles all of which are 1200 model so not sure who you spoke to but they aren't telling you the truth.

        • @L1QU1DD: weird, do you think its worth seeing if the price dips a bit lower on boxing day or just get one now?

        • its the 1200, got one today.
          I had know idea and the staff member opened the box and showed me how it was the new model (I had know idea of model numbers, just knew there was a new model)
          New one doesnt have a shiny top and has buttons for the power and eject.

    • +1

      New Version CUH-1200. Just bought one.

  • great deal :) is it going to be all of big w in store?

    thanks !

  • +1

    I wonder if Lay-by would be available on this? Probably not though ;/

    • +1

      Also curious about this. Anyone have any previous experience with big w layby?

  • Don't forget 5% cashback with Cash Rewards. I still don't know why Big W posts don't have the Cashback icon underneath them?

  • +1

    And by 5% cashback I mean the discounted e-gift cards on Cash Rewards

    • You answered your own question :) There is no cashback at Big W, discounted gift cards aren't shown in the cashback link below 'go to deal' and can be obtained at a number of locations.

      Thanks

      PS Are you associated with Cashrewards or Big W? I think we need to fix up your associations as you've marked yourself at both in the past.

  • +16

    I don't really see the deal here. Big W store stock levels are never that great. Currently you can buy the same console from Big W ebay store delivered for $368.90 after cash rewards.

    You can purchase the 1TB version + 3 games delivered from Target ebay store for $400.90 after cash rewards.

    This deal may only be of benefit for people wanting to use gift cards, but otherwise not worth the hassle to save $0.90 on the current ebay deal.

    • Link please? Cheers

    • +7

      New 1TB console alone would be worth the extra $32.90 IMO, even without the games. If you want black, that is.

      • is it the new C chassis console?

        • +1

          I dont think the cuh-12xx (c chassis) model with 1tb has hit the stores yet, except in a few select bundles (battlefront I think, maybe also mgs5)

    • +4

      I got excited at this deal but then saw the Target one. It came down to $402.7 after cash rewards. So essentially $53 pays for for 3 games + double the capacity. Even if the games are sold for $10 each that means you're paying $23 to double the capacity, a no brainer IMO.

      • can you tell me how did you get the 402 price, frankly i have never used cashrewards so you might have to show me the steps please.

        thanks in advance.

        • Sign up to cash rewards
          Log in
          Click the eBay link on the front page and it will track your eBay purchases and rebate you 3% back of your total purchase price

        • +3

          @jas0nt: The ebay price for 1 tb console is 519 dollars and 3% cashback will be 15$, how did you get 402 ?

    • the ebay deal is great value.

    • Huh its $519 at Target as per your link

  • I only got my PS3 in freaking September of 2011, why could last gen's prices have not dropped so quickly? #WoeIsMe

    • Xbox 360 was only $69 with 3 games for boxing day 2013. Might dive a bit earlier into this gen of consoles but still loving the 360.

      • Nice. If you had no console at all, honestly at this point I'd still say pick up a 360 (or PS3) just because of the sheer amount of games and the god damned low prices.

        My PS4 is nice and all, but I'll admit the only reason I got it day one was to make fun of the asshole who had a PS3 for 4 years before me. There was no need to upgrade then and even now there's still little reason to, Metal Gear Solid 5 got a (albeit crappy) last gen port, it still gets the new Call of Duty's (Blops 3's campaign was terrible, nothing lost there to be honest) and it even got a "new" GTA just yesterday.

  • +5

    I think I got a better deal yesterday at Big W Eastgardens:

    Playstation 4 1TB
    Fall Out 4
    Destiny (+expansion)
    Extra Controller

    Total: $510.

    I originally wanted to get this deal: https://www.bigw.com.au/bigw-catalogues#view=product&itemId=…
    but they ran out of the 2 games. I asked them if they would let me pick and they were ok with it.

    I wasn't interested in Jurassic Park Blu-ray since I've already seen it at the cinemas and don't think I would want to watch it again. They agreed to swap the blu ray out and give me a discount on a second controller.

    Those guys are absolute legends. Great customer service. Would recommend * both thumbs up *

      damm might be difficult to repeat

      • I'll try today!

    • why?

    • I don't think you can consider that a valid reason to neg

    • I think it's good for a stand-alone console. but considering the 1TB + 3 games + 3 months Stan for $415.20 (and $402.74 with cashback). value wise I would say the Crew/Journey/Minecraft + 3 months of Stan is worth more than $30-45 (not to mention the 500GB extra storage).

  • +1

    I have gone off console gaming. The games are expensive and they only work for that generation. I remember having a fire sale to get rid of my last PS3 games.

    I like the PS3 as a device but its sole purpose now is as a media device (Both Netflix and from the media server).

    I wonder if it gets sad and wonders why I dont want to play with it anymore…

    Oh and I have rejoined the PC master race!

    • +3

      The flexibility of PC is endless…
