    I don't like these offers as not everyone has an American express card.

    • +90

      so because some don't have an amex card the ones who do shouldn't know about good deals?

        • +64

          We are one community and this is not the place to spread your amexaphobic comments…

        • +31

          Comments like these are precisely the reason why i am so reluctant to post deals myself.
          This is a community. Or supposedly.
          @trent86 has done a decent job of putting this up and helped people. Obviously he has gone to some effort too.
          Only to get moaned at that it isnt good enough, because someone doesnt have an AMEX card….

          Good work Trent, keep it up! :)

        • +1

          Go get a AMEX so you dont get disappointed next time
          Or maybe just don't blame the society for your own problem

        • -1

          @mcp2kpro: considering so many have +'ed my first post id say it's a bit more then just a problem for myself.

        • +5

          @holden93: but if you look at how many ppl have +'ed the deal itself, you'd realized your problem is very small compare to majority. No deal is suitable for 100% of population, just pay attention to those interested to you and don't waste your time with others.

        • Seriously? People shouldn't have to be 'disappointed' ?? How about harden up!! I almost thought this post was satire making fun of easily offended people on tumblr. Don't have an Amex? Move on! Too easy

        • +1

          @mcp2kpro: idk if you know this but so far a total of 60 people have +ed my top comment it's should 19 cause each time it receive a neg it goes down so far 41 people have neged it

          whole half of the overall negs it's still a considerable amount of people agreeing with me.

        • +3

          @holden93:

          Was it so hard to just click back if an offer doesnt apply to you?

        • -1

          @holden93: so according to your right mind & a whole 60 dudes who agreed with you. Only nation-wide deal should be posted, any region specific or the likes most likely will disappoint a whole lot of other people and should be removed?
          60 ppl have agreed with you, good achievement though.

          @mcp2kpro: you are taking EVERYTHING out on context and therefore you will receive NO response from me regarding this.

          In other words im not going to feed the troll.

        • OMG, wow, you have to put up with being disappointed, how do stand it!?

          As an Amex holder, I appreciate the deal.

          There are all sorts of deals that require all sorts of memberships, cashrewards sign up, ebay membership, residency in Australia, [VIC ONLY}, NSW stores only, David Jones in store only (I don't live in a town with one), paypal only, the list is endless.

          The community is separated, what a load - If it bothers anyone, just sign up for an Amex and stop taking it out on others who want to see the good deal. It doesn't cost me anything to have mine!

    • +42

      I don't like any offers as not everyone has money to spend.

      • +16

        And I don't like being up at 3am with insomnia.

        • 4:36 am here. FML! :(

        • This proves OZB never sleeps.

      • I'm here for the freebies.

      • I don't like online deals as not everyone has fingers to type.

      • +4

        I don't like spending money, that's why I have AMEX

    • +15

      Well I especially dont like 93 model holdens…

    • 100% Agree. Title should be renamed to: 'Harvey Norman AMEX Deal: PS4 500GB $322, XB1 500GB $322, Canon 1200D $248 (after $25 voucher)".
      Amex deals are fine, but it needs to be much more clearer as the deal relies on it and not everyone has an amex card.

      • +42

        How much more clearer do you want it, it says in brackets in title (After Voucher & Amex) I wouldn't have posted it if it hadn't been done before but it's been done plenty of times over the past year

        • +6

          well to Orpheus' credit, the title of the thread before being edited was:

          PS4 500GB $322, XB1 500GB $322, Canon 1200D $248, PS4 1TB Bundle $447 (after Offers) + More @HN

          and

          PS4 500GB $322, XB1 500GB $322, Canon 1200D $248, PS4 1TB Bundle $447 (after Offers) + More @HN

          and now it is

          PS4 500GB $322, XB1 500GB $322, Canon 1200D $248 (after Voucher & AmEx) + More @ Harvey Norman

          plus "Amex deals" aren't really bargains because not everyone can get it. It would fall under the Price Match rules I would think, because not everyone can get the price offered.

          Price matching is a bonus, and other members of OzBargain need to arrange their own price match.

          @Makoto: Um no when he made the comment the change had already applied, no revision has been done in over 2 hrs and his comment was just over an hr ago

        • -5

          @TRENT86: you can load the page at any time before commenting and not see the revisions
          you do know how the internet works, right?

        • +1

          You have contributed to the forum and posted a good deal. Many deals are subjected to terms and conditions. Yours is subject to the having an AMEX card etc which you have made it clear.
          Merry Christmas.

        • @Makoto: That's not how the internet works that's how caching works. Completely different things. These days any browser will check to see if it has been updated anyway.

        • @krisosha: usually…

        • @Jackson: and unusually it's because their using IE.

    • +2

      I'm based in NZ, but had been following trent's post when I was in Oz for months. I don't cry about the deals I can't get as I'm in NZ. So I'm sure you'll get over it too

      • -4

        But its clearly stated this is Ozbargain, unlike this deal that isnt clearly stating its Amex only. Hence this deal being misleading.

        • +2

          Just had a look at this deal and I don't find it misleading at all.

        • How are deals like these misleading? Why do people feel like it's their god damn right to be entitled to every single discount. Go get an AMEX for free and stop complaining.

    • +1

      Most banks have dual mc or visa with Amex now and if not there are free Amex cards like the Qantas one which are eligible for these offers.

    • +4

      First world problems, really.

    • ask your mum to apply one for you

    • There are 0$ fee amex. Qantas AMEX I'm using it. Need referral?

    • And not everybody likes every bargain … lets close the internet.

  • Is the black one more likely to be a newer model?

    • also interested in this as black is out of stock for me

  • +4

    Damn, no Amex. I'll just cry in the corner.

  • i can't believe this has so many comments and votes already this early in the morning

    • +8

      it's the morning already? time for bed soon lol

  • Can someone explain the cash back offer? I can't find out anywhere how it works

  • +5

    should post the deals without the Amex discount already added, then add it as another incentive

    • -4

      Just to make you feel priveleged to be the targeted audience in a specific post? Ozb is about lowest possible price or highest possible discounts at that point in time mate.

      • +1

        When you need an AMEX to get the offer and the majority have yearly fees then I see his point.

      • +2

        Considering most people wouldn't have an amex card and you pay for it usually, it should be seperate in the title and description in my opinion, still a great deal though

        • I disagree with this. It would make the difference between it being a deal or not.

          There is a generous discount for Amex holders. Posting the original price would not be the cheapest price around and therefore not be a bargain worth posting.

          This would make it less noticeable / findable for eligible cardholders.

          I would rather see if something is a bargain, and then work out if I am eligible for it, just like what happens when I see something is limited to a particular state only, or a particular 'in-store' offer that is a 1000+km away, and therefore I can't get it, its too bad.

        • @MrFrugalSmith: If you have to pay for the better deal then its not a deal for most, all i'm saying is Amex should be mentioned after the deal, like cash rewards is on most deals

  • +4

    are all cash back/cash rewards payments included in a bargain final price? no ?

    then the exact same thing should be applied to the Amex crap

  • +10

    Stop complaining geez. If you want to be apart of the bargain get an Amex card, if you can't or don't have one then look elsewhere! Thanks OP

    • +1

      yep, there are currently like 4 fee-free Amex cards on offer, just get one simply for these offers

  • Damn. HN voucher doesn't work for the 1TB PS4 deal.

    • +3

      Yeah it doesn't work on bundles where there are multiple products added, the xb1 ac bundle should work though as it's classed as 1 product :)

      • +2

        I see. Cheers for the reply and your hard work putting these together Trent!

  • Much better deal on the 500gb than the 1Tb. Only after the 1Tb so not much use to me but thanks for posting. Also don't have Amex so inconsequential.

  • Nice deals thanks Trent

  • Been waiting for console deals… I want a camera. Is kinetic better than sonys implementation?

    What console has better driving games and kids games where hand movement can be used as the controller?

    Thanks

    • I have no idea so I think it is appropriate that I comment. I would choose the Xbox.

      • Xbox kinect is much better than ps4 eye. Ps4 eye is only good for auto logging in ps4 using facial recognition. At least the xbox can use Skype and you can change tv channel using voice if you have the tv tuner as well.
        I have both and probably wouldn't buy them again or recommend. Very rarely do games utilize them.
        I believe xbox has better driving games. Kids games are generally released on both platforms

    • +1

      You have head of Nintendo Wii U? There are more games suitable for kids and family also the Wii remote gets used on more Wii and Wii U games. But the graphic nowhere as good as PS4 or XBox One and likely a new gen Nintendo console will come out in 2016.

  • +4

    Just a suggestion OP, wouldn't be better if you post the price before the amex offer? Because not all of us here have amex like myself. Include the amex offer as an additional discount instead. Thanks heaps!

  • Thanks Trent great job!

    Ignore the ignorance

  • Is that camera a good deal?

  • -6

    Over complicated and misleading, what next a ponzi scheme?

    Title should state the actual price of the item then the reductions, you may as well add in cash back and store employees discount.

    • I don't see how this is "over complicated", I've seen much worse ways to save a few dollars. Isn't this what OzB is about? The ones that are willing to go the extreme, will - OP is simply highlighting how to gain maximum discount.

      Not sure why you're negging the deal, where with all the discounts applied, the price is actually decent.

    • lol are you sure?

  • Holy cow, I spent too much already, please stop :D

    • Wait until boxing day sale … and you might spend even more !

  • +14

    Disappointing that so many people are getting their nickers in a knot simply because they can't take full advantage of an exclusive offer.

    I'm from Adelaide, you guys in Sydney and Melbourne get so many great deals, if I whined and complained like the people in this thread, I would be completely banned from OZBargain.

    Enjoy the Christmas season all! Stop stressing too much, it's not worth it!

    • You took the words out of my mouth.

      I get disappointed every now and then when I see great offers that aren't applicable to Adelaide (I've missed out on so many freebies from Guzman y Gomez because we don't have one!)

      Up until recently, I wasn't using Cashrewards and my Amex doesn't work with the statement credits. Boo. Move on. Not sure how this is different to any other offer that separates those in another state or those who have access to a staff card (I recall a Big W deal the other day).

  • Is the price for the kinect good?

  • -5

    the xbox is a good deal but the ps4 is a waste of money :)

    • +1

      Please take your fanboyism elseware

      • -5

        just objective fact-based comment to inform users about the deals. There are more and better games on xbone. That being said, ps4 is a better system, but Sony havent really made any first party games whatsoever and just today uncharted 4 is delayed yet again, the one game they had coming.

  • +3

    Yet another comment section that shows how 'friendly' the ozb community is…

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/216494

    Contrary to what many of you believe, nobody owes you anything. You guys need to be less self-entitled and more thankful.

    I have an amex card and I wouldn't have known about these offers without this post, so thank you Trent..

  • Back to the deal, is the canon about the same level as the Nikon d3200?

  • Two accounts may get me two vouchers but could I get the AmEx discount on the two purchase with one AmEx card?

    • "Register an eligible Card, spend $350 or more on that Card, in one or more transactions"

      So yes, as long as two purchases total above $350.

  • +2

    Or, in the case of a White PS4, get it for $318 by getting them to match BigW (https://www.bigw.com.au/product/playstation-4-console-500gb-…) or Target (http://www.target.com.au/p/playstation-4-5-gb-console-black/…) then claim the AMEX cash back.

    Credit to https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/226889 for the info.

    • Yep, this is what my bro will be doing to get himself a PS4 in preparation for Uncharted 4.

      • +1

        just fyi in case u didnt know that game was delayed again just today

        • Thanks for the heads up.

    • is your white ps4 the latest version(12xxx)?

    • +2

      Potentially you could buy it online, and then get them to do the refund after:
      "Simply show us evidence of our competitor’s advertised price for the identical product advertised either 7 days before or 7 days after your purchase."

      And that way you could potentially get it for 368 - 50 - 25= $293

      http://www.harveynorman.com.au/customer-service/price-match-…

      • is it possible to do the price match over the internet rather than doing it after purchase? (the $25 voucher is online only)

        • +1

          I doubt it. you can do the price match over line but they offer it as voucher(the amount of the price difference) and you could use it when you checkout. so under this you could not stack your $25 voucher on because only one voucher could be used at a time. so IMO basically two options now, it's either $397-$25-$50=$322 as title or $368(after pm)-$50 = $318.

      • Has anyone tried this?
