BigW are having a 30% off DVD & TV stuff. Chromecast was $48 and with 30% off comes down to $33.60 (ignore price on website).
Do they have CC2 or is that excluded?
Didn't see one there
Big W don't sell CC2 as of yet, although it can be found within store inventory management.
not sure why you would buy an inferior product for 15$ less
are you saying the chrome cast is bad? I'm confused lol
He's saying the new one is worth paying the extra $15.
Whats the difference?
what can the C2 do that the C1 cant???
It can look like a hockey puck in three different colours.
Doubles as a harpic toilet block/cage, while providing Netflix.
Serious question?
Why pay 45% more, for 0% improvement. This is OzBargain, and there is zero benefit for me.
You'll notice the difference if you've got Wireless AC 5ghz equipment and live in an apartment block surrounded by Wireless N devices like me. I've already bought my CC2 off the eBay sale for $47 odd and dont regret it.
It starts streaming faster and it buffers less.
Second that. If it's $25 less than cc2. I'll buy.
Plus 10% off with gift card
Lol good luck finding one. They're all gone.
Yeh the lady told me so many 'Asians' came in and got them all. I managed to get the last gift card at Waverly Gardens
Cc2 is $46.40 (plus postage if relevant) at Bing Lee and $47.20 at Good Guys as part of the current eBay tech sale. Got mine yesterday. No big differences noticed yet, but I do like that I can run it over my 5ghz network so that it doesn't interfere with the baby monitor.
Our house is an odd 2 storey, with microwaves, baby monitor, tablets, laptops, 2 chromecast 1's… Never had a problem. And we're still running an OLD low-medium Billion 2.4Ghz modem/router. Only obvious thing: I need to back my torrents off for a Skype call.
What does cc2 do that cc1 doesn't? Just 5ghz? Does that improve streaming quality?
yes but there have been reports on whirlpool that it has trouble picking up the 5Ghz signal/5ghz makes no difference.
No trouble with mine with 5ghz, only thing is it gets very hot which is a bit of concerning
2.4GHz constantly drops out for me on the CC1 but the CC2 with 5GHz can stream 1080p fine.
I just picked up a Chromecast 2 so I'd have a Chromecast for the spare room and there's not that much of a difference. It feels a little snappier and supports 5GHz wifi but whether it's worth the extra $20 depends on how much you need 5GHz.
And supports wireless ac.
Possible to price beat 5% off at OW ?
Most likely not because this is a percentage off sale, which officeworks don't match.
CC2 is $38 - why would you buy CC1? CC2 has faster wifi and 5Ghz
Where from?

Got a link, I cant find it on COTD?

Might be useful adding this info into the description.
Only if the store has stock. Melbourne QV has nothing and I'm pissed off.
They will get more back in stock probably after the deal ends.
Went to Big W Joondalup.It scanned at $48.The girl knew nothing about the deal.I left empty handed.
Sorry for the noob question but does anyone know if JB will price match this? I have a $30 voucher to use!
Cheers
Has this deal worked for anyone? The man at the counter had no idea and when scanned it was $48. I Left with nothing
I had the same issue.
For those who don't have a Big W nearby, it's $34 at Harvey Norman until 31st March and also at Officeworks.
