Aldi are opening a store in Leopold, VIC. Can confirm it is Store specific.

Xbox One 1TB Console, wireless controller and headset - $149
Xbox One Wireless Controller (with play and charge kit) - $49.99

Obviously being Aldi one can only guess how many will be available.

For those in need, maybe a trip to the wonderful Bellarine may be in order.

Edit. updated photo to include all store opening specials. The other notables are the air con. robot vac and treadmill. and lets not forget the smoker. Apparently a cracking deal!

          @easternculture:

          Would they even have the old model anymore?

          I thought all the local stores have cleared them out by now.

  • lyl-Lychee on 15/03/2017 - 19:13

    Cheaper then a high end standalone blue-ray player.

    Might get another xbox then for the living room. Does anyone know if Ebgames or JBHIFI will price match Aldi?

      I can only imagine being store specific, geographical location may be the killer. worth a try though. The other issue is most other stores probably have the consoles in a package with games etc.

    • sween64 on 15/03/2017 - 21:13

      JB won't. They don't have a price match policy AFIK and will just say no.

      • Tuftsdude on 15/03/2017 - 21:20

        Actually they've price matched stuff for me before.

        • sween64 on 15/03/2017 - 21:24

          With this kind of mark down? My guess is it is below cost!

        • Tuftsdude on 15/03/2017 - 23:18

          @sween64:I'm not sure if they'd do it with this kind of mark down, but they have price matched a few items for me in the past. Best way to find out is to give it a try yourself!

        • sween64 on 16/03/2017 - 08:18

          @Tuftsdude: I've had them knock off about $100 off a $500 TV in response to a flash sale by Dick Smith. They do price match, they just don't have a publicly available set of T&C's regarding it. They can't be forced in to a price match they don't think is reasonableness can't be bothered with. They never price matched $30 Telstra Starter Kits down to $10 for me.

          @sween64: They've done it for me before as well, but not always. A lot of the time they will also use the (entirely fair IMO) excuse that there must be stock available at that price. That involves calling the Aldi store and confirming.

    • JeffKennett on 15/03/2017 - 19:21

        Even smokers up to $40,000. I even know the people from Hark - who make these.

        Bbqs galore also sells the identical smoker rebranded too but renamed "arrosto"

          @LymeLychee:

          Yep but I would order from hark. I think the shelves are around $10 + postage. There is also a hanger aswell on top to hang sausages.

          Any reason why you want MORE shelves?

          Go to hark directly it will be A LOT cheaper

        • lyl-Lychee on 15/03/2017 - 21:06

          @neofelis: Great info, thanks mate.
          Just looking at more shelves as a "just in case need them" scenario. You're right though, the included 4 should be plenty already.

          You wont need more shelves. If anything these smokers are a gateway into a proper Weber Smokey Mountain or an offset like a Radar Hills, Southern Cross Smokers, Yoder Smoker, BullockHead Creek, Silver Creek Smokers etc.

      I've thought about getting that in past years. I've no experience with smoking either and sometimes wonder if it creates carcinogenic food … but at $99 I'm tempted to take the risk.

        Haha it 100% doesnt. Its not char its bark that forms on the outside of the meat. Its a process of smoke and caramelisation or pellicle which its formally known as.

          We're all continually scaremongered into everything causes cancer.

          Another report says "the level at which PAH exposure begins to cause health problems has yet to be determined. The Environment Protection Agency is working to quantify that, but The American Cancer Society notes that with respects to HCA and PAH, “whether such exposure causes cancer in humans is unclear.”

          I can assure you the smoked meat we have here is nothing compared to texas. Many people report that after eating some brisket they felt like they've smoked a packet of cigarettes. We dont use THAT much smoke over here.

          If in doubt buy some Colgin Liquid smoke from usafoods. No carcinogens.

      Uh, yeah.. this sounds like complete bullshit, do you by chance happen to have ANY proof at all, that this console is a refurb?

      • d1s34s3d on 15/03/2017 - 20:56

        None on me. Not saying this one is but the ones they have sold in the past will have a sign on the display stating it is a refurb. I have seen this personally on other consoles sold there. This is the first I've heard of the xboz one being sold through aldi. Just wished to advise people of the possibility and not to denounce this bargain in any way.
        I didn't clearly state what I meant before sorry.

      • d1s34s3d on 15/03/2017 - 21:00

        Additionally the 60 day satisfaction warranty listed in the ad for this reminded me about the small sign in store for the other consoles. Was a similar warranty listed with those.

          You cannot void your protection given by the ACCC by purchasing something that has claims to be just a 60 day satisfaction guarantee, if that is indeed what it is.

        • d1s34s3d on 15/03/2017 - 23:53

          @dfaktz: you have a certain level of protection for new items and a lot less for second hand and/or refurbished items. That is in accordance with accc. Fairly certain it's a minimum of 30 days for non new items. Been a while since I've needed to check on that though.

        Refurbished Xbox One consoles were sold in the past as reported here last November.

        If they do sell them refurbished in the upcoming sale (with noting any corrections), it would be appropriate to pull out the pitchforks.

        • d1s34s3d on 15/03/2017 - 21:05

          @d1s34s3d: Didn't neg you once and I indeed knew about the last deal. But your proof for this deal is horrible, some shitty news site that can't even afford an SSL cert? The article is 3 sentences..

          .. Also, they themselves don't cite any evidence at all, they are literally giving less proof than you are if we take the last deal's refurbs into account.

          @dfaktz: Well we can just wait for the sale and see if anyone is nice enough to report back. But honestly, given aldi's history of selling refurbished consoles and the price quoted I'm confident I'm right on this.
          I don't know why you're getting all worked up about it. My original post was just a heads up to alert potential buyers that, without full undeniable proof, the consoles may not be brand new bit actually refurbished models.

          @dfaktz: I have to agree with dfaktz, that website is hardly proof of anything.

          Aldi have clearly advertised refurbished models previously. I don't see any reason why they would now sell refurbished models and not advertise them as such.

          As for models with a "sign in the display", these are usually models returned to the store during the 60 day guarantee. They discount them, whack a sticker or sign on them and put them back in the cabinet.

    Robot vac was $199 when I bought it!

    • AlienC on 18/03/2017 - 10:17

      Any good? How many rooms or amount of space can it do and what features does it have like cliff detection or etc?

      • MessyG on 18/03/2017 - 17:28

        Does 3 rooms (kitchen, dining, main bedroom) plus hallway at my house no worries, you really need to run it a few times a week to keep floors clean because it wont get absolutely everything on first run (this is the same for most robot vacs). I haven't tested it on more rooms than that. It does have cliff detection but I've not tested it out as no stairs. Has a 'mop' feature which is just a cotton pad that will essentially dust the floors although it's a dry mop so it wont wash the floors but I haven't tried it. Comes with a virtual 'wall' device which works well. It's not perfect, sometimes it thinks it's out of battery when it's not (turning it off and on fixes it) and it does get stuck on my fireplace if I don't use the virtual wall and sometimes it's behaviour is mystifying (i.e will get stuck between four legs of a chair that it managed to get between). I wouldn't switch it on and leave the house for that reason because there's every chance it will surprise you getting stuck on something random.

        I'd been bugging my husband for ages re robot vac and we agreed on this one because it was so much cheaper than the rest and we haven't looked back. It's very bare bones compared to the Roomba's but if it's any indication, I've stopped bugging him about a bells and whistles one because this does a perfectly good job. For $99 I'd give it a go, Aldi are very good with returns too.

        • AlienC on 19/03/2017 - 17:08

          Hmm for $99 I don't mind if it takes a few goes to do the whole house slot roughly 3 large carpet rooms a kitchen and 3 carpet hallways.. will definitely need the virtual wall so it doesn't go tumbling down the stairs to the ground floor.

          How long does one whole house pass take? And how often do you have to empty it.. also any chance you would know how much power or energy it uses?

          Cheers thanks will definitely look more into this as a weekly cleaning top up to keep things under control dust wise.

        • MessyG on 19/03/2017 - 17:54

          @AlienC:

          Probably a couple of hours, I empty it after every clean although I have floorboards. The reviews on productreview.com.au are pretty spot on if you take away the really bad reviews. No idea on energy useage, will try and find the manual.

    Cracking price for a cracking console. This is an outstanding deal.

    • hollykryten on 15/03/2017 - 20:40

      My bet that it's a catalogue pricing error.

    You would think it must be a pricing misprint. It's probably meant to be $349. Some one accidentally typed a 1 instead of 3 and catalogue proof read fail. There's no way a brand new Xbox One 1TB console is going for $149.

    • sween64 on 15/03/2017 - 21:16

      My thoughts exactly. I hope some very lucky people get it for $149. I wonder how much I would spend on fuel getting there…

      • JD9151 on 15/03/2017 - 21:23

        Moght possibly have been $250 do you think?

        • sween64 on 15/03/2017 - 21:25

          Maybe. Either way I think $149 is an error.

      Have they just taken $100 off the xbox one and smoker?

      Then again.. the smokers they need to buy 1000 at a time. The xbox ones are old stock, could of gotten them cheap to help clear old stock.

      Its probably about right and no miss print, they're making next to no money though

      Well it is a One not a One S …. so maybe.
      (Although my money would be on it being a refurb).

      I dunno, I saw an XBox One in the cabinet of my local Aldi (VIC) on the weekend and for whatever reason $149 or $199, something like that sounds familiar as the price tag.
      (as you can tell I didn't pay much attention to it at the time lol).

      I know, pics or it didn't happen :(

    Insane, were they even this cheap when dick Smith shut?

    • silverrat23 on 15/03/2017 - 21:28

      Nope. Before Dick Smith went into liquidation, they were already gone. Way gone.
