Good Evening Everyone!

I hope you all have your pre-orders paid off or are in the process of doing so for the PlayStation 4 Pro, launching tonight at EB Games stores across Australia.

JB-Hi-Fi is implementing this deal regarding Rise of the Tomb Raider, Skyrim: Special Edition, Dishonored 2 and Watch_Dogs 2. If you pick up a PS4 Pro console you will receive any of those titles for $39.

I have my pre-order with EB Games and have since phoned them, they will further discount their copies of these titles to $39. It's not a massive saving, but might drive those consumers to giving these games a go!

(Included a picture from my email as there was no direct link to the deal).

Happy Launch All!

    Thanks man! Any $ off is a saving!

    • AssociatedThePriceMatchGuy @ JB Hi-Fi on 09/11/2016 - 20:03

      At this awesome price, which of these titles are you going for? I'm thinking Skyrim and Watch_Dogs 2. I love me my open world games!

      • ScruffTheJanitor on 09/11/2016 - 20:14

        Dishonored 2 would be my pick

        • AssociatedThePriceMatchGuy @ JB Hi-Fi on 09/11/2016 - 20:22

          Played it at the EB Games Expo, it was the only title I sadly walked away from. I really wanted to enjoy it as the first was awesome, but alas I will pass on it.

        • ScruffTheJanitor on 09/11/2016 - 20:35

          @ThePriceMatchGuy:
          ? Early reports say its way better than the first.

        • AssociatedThePriceMatchGuy @ JB Hi-Fi on 09/11/2016 - 20:49

          @ScruffTheJanitor: Yeah, early reports. A month ago I played the game, each to their own though.

        • ScruffTheJanitor on 09/11/2016 - 20:49

          @ThePriceMatchGuy: Played a demo of the game

          @ScruffTheJanitor: It was the final version of the game. I got to experience the first two missions in a vendor's experience. You'll probably have no fuss with it, I just prefer open world games with greater purpose.

          @ThePriceMatchGuy: The game didnt go gold until last week.

        • AssociatedThePriceMatchGuy @ JB Hi-Fi on 09/11/2016 - 20:57

          @ScruffTheJanitor: Unless the developers lied to us then! Which would be very cheeky!

        • ruddiger7 on 10/11/2016 - 09:08

          @ScruffTheJanitor: Usually games go gold with at least 4 weeks till launch. I doubt it went gold a week out. Not enough time to print and distribute worldwide.

        • Poimandres on 10/11/2016 - 12:51

          @ruddiger7: It DOES have a 9gb day 1 patch on PS4 though, so performance etc should be improved.

          Still, these impressions are disconcerting especially coming from someone who liked the first game. I'd like to hear more about why you didn't like it.

        • AssociatedThePriceMatchGuy @ JB Hi-Fi on 09/11/2016 - 20:19

          If you have had the games pre-ordered at EB Games they will happily price match.

        • TLZ on 09/11/2016 - 20:38

          @ThePriceMatchGuy: Hi mate. I have my Pro pre-ordereed and I don't have any games pre-ordered but now that I saw your deal I'd like to get them for that price. But it seems I can't….

        • AssociatedThePriceMatchGuy @ JB Hi-Fi on 09/11/2016 - 20:48

          @TLZ: You may still be able to get them for that price as technically JB's advertisement states that you can just pick those titles up with a PS4 Pro. If EB Games really wants to be technical regarding the deal, pre-order the game and pick it up 5 minutes later! ha ha

        • TLZ on 09/11/2016 - 20:53

          @ThePriceMatchGuy: Oh mine's preordered with EB. Tried Rise of the Tomb Raider on their site but it's a "buy new" now, not pre-order so I guess I'm out of luck.

          @TLZ: Honestly I think you will be able to buy both games for $39. They will not sacrifice displeasing a customer over $10.

    • King Steuart on 09/11/2016 - 20:07

      They always match console deals at launch.

        They will match this deal for their standard copies of the game, as JB-Hi-Fi is doing the same. @Putnum, you are incorrect. Unless a competitor is selling an identically stocked bundle EB Games will not match it. Fortunately this is an identical deal.

        • King Steuart on 09/11/2016 - 20:12

          So they will match it but I'm wrong. Gotcha!

      • Garagesale on 09/11/2016 - 21:18

        no they dont.
        eb match all game prices but not console deals.
        if they do u are very lucky

        in this case they are matching game prices

        • AssociatedThePriceMatchGuy @ JB Hi-Fi on 09/11/2016 - 21:20

          In the off chance the console deal is identical to a competitor but cheaper, yes they will price match :)

        • [Deactivated] on 10/11/2016 - 13:56

          @ThePriceMatchGuy: I work at EB. We won't match bundles.

        • AssociatedThePriceMatchGuy @ JB Hi-Fi on 10/11/2016 - 16:50

          @noodlesfordaddy: You hearing what I'm saying chap? If the deal is identical (PS4 Console on its own) and at a cheaper price EB Games will match. How long have you been with the company for?

        • [Deactivated] on 10/11/2016 - 16:52

          @ThePriceMatchGuy: If it's an individual item then it'll (normally) be matched, but by "deal" I assume multiple items under 1 price, which is precisely what we can't match

        • AssociatedThePriceMatchGuy @ JB Hi-Fi on 10/11/2016 - 16:56

          @noodlesfordaddy: If, for example Big W sold a PS4 with Uncharted 4 at $30 cheaper than EB Games and if EB Games was offering the same deal exactly they will. How I got my original PS4.

        • [Deactivated] on 10/11/2016 - 19:11

          @ThePriceMatchGuy: You got a special deal then, because I've been at EB for 4 years now and have always been told we cannot match bundles.

    Skyrim and Dishonored 2 for me. Providing EB come through with the goods.

    • AssociatedThePriceMatchGuy @ JB Hi-Fi on 09/11/2016 - 20:19

      Phoned 3 different stores, 2 in my local area and 1 in a different state. All said that if you have the games pre-ordered prior they will match.

      • fatpizza on 09/11/2016 - 20:49

        Wait, so I have to preorderthe games? I can't just buy them when I pay for my PS4 Pro?

        • AssociatedThePriceMatchGuy @ JB Hi-Fi on 09/11/2016 - 20:56

          That's just what they said on the phone. I'm pretty sure you can pick them up for $39 with your Pro.

      • Garagesale on 09/11/2016 - 21:17

        trouble is skyrim is already released so you cant preorder it you can only put a deposit on it.

        • AssociatedThePriceMatchGuy @ JB Hi-Fi on 09/11/2016 - 21:19

          Yup, for this reason disregard the need to pre-order. I believe they just said that for Watch_Dogs 2 only.

      Does anyone have an idea based on the past how long it will be before the PS4 pro will be bundled with a game? I'm selling my PS4 1TB tomorrow to a guy for $350 and then was going to buy the Pro. I justs bought the PS VR so I'll upgrade in the next few weeks. Do you think there will be a Christmas special?

      • [Deactivated] on 10/11/2016 - 13:57

      Opposite. Called my local store and have put $39 on all 4 of them. Watchdogs 2 and Skyrim for me and the other two will make great Christmas presents.

      • AussieGargain on 09/11/2016 - 21:45

    If you're buying one, might even be smart to buy the game if you want it or not, you can give to a pal for xmas, sell it, or whatever. It's a fairly significant saving for a AAA game.

    Also the games are, of course - entirely compatible with all PS4s

    This price is tempting,however,I can't help thinking that they all have PC versions and playing the latter could be indeed much cheaper,will wait for PS4 Pro comes with games like FF XV,Kingdom Hearts 2.8,Ninokuni 2 and etc.

          The PS4 Pro and the PSVR are the same price Australia wide. EB Games is happy to always price match your games. I personally prefer to shop there because of their sweet EB World loyalty system, Game Guarantee offering and Exclusives. Not to mention I like talking to people who actually know a thing or two about video games.

      Doesn't release until next Tuesday, need to keep that in mind. Hopefully it doesn't need to be done in the same transaction.

  • Izefyre on 09/11/2016 - 23:37

    I hope we don't get disappointed with the pro. Early youtube reviews are not awesome, not really much improvement for an average gamer. I'm not a technical person so probably won't notice anything amazing like night and day difference against the original. I won't be getting a 4K TV anytime soon so I won't be really taking much of an advantage of the pro. At least you future proof your console but then again they will release a slimmer version more likely sometime in the future or if they have plans to match the upcoming xbox scorpio. Oh well, they just want us to spend heaps, if only these games are cheap I won't mind upgrading each and every time they make upgrades but the sad reality is no.

    This is like getting an iphone, people get crazy over an "S" version even if no innovation was made with the product. I say, they must have marketing geniuses to get us to buy their products even if no drastic changes were really made on the previous one.

    • fatpizza on 09/11/2016 - 23:48

      The improvements to PSVR games is a big positive to me. The improvements to 1080p games I've seen(ones that are patched anyway) whilst more subtle, is enough to make me happy with the purchase.

    • xenoic on 09/11/2016 - 23:56

      They made a mistake marketing it as a 4K because it's really a highly capable 1080p console with a consistent high frame rate. That's the biggest advantage over the Xbox One S.

      A lot of people thinks it's for a 4K TV only but you're wrong. Have a dig around the video reviews in YouTube. You'll get the idea.

      • Izefyre on 10/11/2016 - 00:03

        Let's just hope there are noticeable differences. I can't wait to test drive the pro tomorrow. I'll remain positive for now. :)

      • mantamuzza on 10/11/2016 - 07:37

        Interesting as I watch some reviews and am now a bit torn. I picked up my Xbox 1s yesterday and have the pro on pre order but just wondering if it's worth it or just stick with the Xbox as I am not sure how better the games will be on my oled tv

        Just the picture the OP link us too. EB has a very similar deal atm. $50 each i think, so they had no issue matching Watchdogs. Although i had to pay the full amount instead of a $10 preorder i usually do.

    My EB refused to price match on Dishonored. Came up with some excuse about how you can only choose one game at JB and that it was a bundle which means he didn't have to match it. A little annoyed but it's not the end of the world. Skyrim cost the same either way so I still bought that. $50 for Dishonored 2 is still a good price.

    • [Deactivated] on 10/11/2016 - 14:02
      +2

      Actual EB policy is that we don't match bundles, and honestly he's right. And it's true, like he said you can only choose 1 game at JB, you can't really combine 2 deals from 2 different retailers into 1 and then cry when it doesn't go your way.

      • fatpizza on 10/11/2016 - 14:25
        -1

        Firstly I didn't cry about it, I didn't make a fuss about it and I still ended up buying everything I wanted. Doesn't change the fact that there are people here who got the deal matched whilst I missed out.
        I also wasn't aware of the rule allowing only one game at JB. There's nothing mentioned of it here, and it wasn't mentioned on the picture in this deal.
        Plus I had no idea the JB deal was regarded as a bundle.
