JB Hi-Fi are doing another Wicked Wednesday sale, which is for tomorrow only (19/7). A Nintendo Switch console bundle for $488 is part of the sale and it seems to be the cheapest (local price) lately.

Check your email for a unique (I think) barcode that entitles 5% off almost everything store-wide.
Original 5% off for newsletter subscribers deal

Use that voucher to get another 5% off the $488 Nintendo Switch bundle (to $463.60) - which includes one of three games:

Arms
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Just Dance 2017

Could save even more with discounted giftcards from your favourite provide like CashRewards.

It says "Not to be combined with any other offer." in the T&C's, so are you sure that price is achievable?

  The 5% off voucher did not state the console in its exclusions list. Maybe call them/ask tomorrow to double-check?
- thrillhouse on 19/07/2017 - 15:59
  
  Worked for me in store
socheap on 18/07/2017 - 22:16

Any way to still get the 5% voucher?
- silverrat23 on 18/07/2017 - 22:17
  
  Sign up to their newsletter (with your disposable email). Not sure how long it takes to receive, but it should be before opening tomorrow.

Would jump on it if they had splatoon out and on that list. Arms doesn't do it for me, and Mario Kart isn't different enough from the wii u for me to want it … and just dance - please.
- Sanvy on 18/07/2017 - 22:44
  
  Unfortunately splatoon launches on the 21st, one may have thought we would get bundles but Nintendo in their wisdom did not ship these to the west. Im hoping the Odyssey bundle gets made (as in they make one), I keep uhmin and ahhing at these bundles but at this price (Compare to kogans 373 + game for $68 or so, it comes damn close), so I am seriously tempted now….

    It's only a few bucks difference. Just get it you tightarse!
    - Sanvy on 18/07/2017 - 23:05
      
      I'll wear "label" that proudly here. The prospect of an Odyssey bundle also is lurking in the back of my head. :D frak it, ill go in tomorrow if the 5% off applies ill be coming home with MK and the Wi..er Switch…

Interestingly the email actually shows a picture of Mario Odyssey instead of Mario Kart 8. Doubtful anything can be done about it, but I wouldn't mind Odyssey preordered :P

5% voucher works. Plus you can save more with discounted Ultimate Kids gift cards (around 10 - 14.5%) (ending today at Woolworths).
- eviledward on 18/07/2017 - 23:04
  
  Can you explain how that deal works briefly?
  - alllieet on 18/07/2017 - 23:10
    
    Google JB Hi Fi subscription 5%, it should come up with their newsletter where you can enter your email. You'll get a discount code within a few minutes (make sure you check spam / promo boxes). Good deal! Just bought it myself with some discounted gift cards too.
    - eviledward on 18/07/2017 - 23:12
      
      oh that part I get, was just wondering about the Ultimate kids gift cards.
      
      Had a bit of a read in another deal. Seems like you'll get your money back through Woolworths points from what I gather.
    - eviledward on 18/07/2017 - 23:12
      
      Oh and I think I can get straight 5% off for my gift cards. Same for you?

    Go to Woolies and buy $460 worth of Ultimate Kids giftcards at a discounted rate (only sold in $20 and $50 denominations I believe).
    
    Obtain 5% off voucher from email.
    
    Go to JB and buy the bundle with said giftcards and voucher.
  - prince22 on 18/07/2017 - 23:14

    You get 1000 woolworths rewards points (worth $5) for every $50 Ultimate Kids gift cards. Every 2000 points deduct $10 in future shop at woolworths. You cam purchase these cards using wish egift cards (5% discounted). Sadly, the deal on UK gift cards ends today.
    - eviledward on 18/07/2017 - 23:15
      
      Ok thanks prince22, guess I won't be able to buy them online tonight and pick them up tomorrow when I go to JB in store?
    - CaptainNewspeak on 18/07/2017 - 23:53
      
      Lol dude, the miser that I am I just went to the local woolies ( that closes at 12 tonight) and bought $250 worth on the way home. Should come in handy tomorrow!

Yep, can confirm, 5% voucher works.

I was waiting for another sub $400 sale, but this works out pretty similar needing to buy MK8 on top (and those sales are hard to catch).

Purchased, C&C :)
[Deactivated] on 18/07/2017 - 23:16

$463.6 is a pretty good price
With no waiting time from postage too
Cheapest MK8 was the last Target ebay offer $58.65

Bringing the cost to this offer
Making the console itself become ~$405 which is still a great deal
eviledward on 18/07/2017 - 23:17

Anybody here think getting extended warranty in store is worth it? Or even trying to bargain with the guys at JB in store worth it?
- [Deactivated] on 18/07/2017 - 23:21
  
  I prefer to pay with credit card that comes with extended warranty
  Since this 5% off is not a ebay (paypal) offer
  the tax invoice amount matches to the credit card statement
  so the CC extended warranty is entitled
  
  I am paying using my Citibank Signature
  the excess per claim is $100, not great but far better than Westpac CC ($250 excess)
- choodi on 19/07/2017 - 12:21
  
  Not much point to be honest. Nintendo hardware tends to be almost bulletproof and the extended warranty is probably not going to cover accidental damage anyway.

Cheaper than kogan deal?

  No, about $30 off if you include MK8 — probably the only game worth getting. If they had Zelda as part of the bundle it would be sweeter. In just after ^

    I have played 1-2 switch once and I think its a fun game in a party with friends
    Can't compare the value to MK8 but not as bad as some reviews mentioned

      @eviledward: I was, just got home, but I had some social engineering to do.. He originally said sorry it was a mistake and that JB hifi is giving an apology to everyone.. I said I can't see an apology on the website though.. then I basically let him talk himself into honoring the deal anyway.
      
      Then the 5% is done at the counter.
      
      So, yep, just might take some work or not work in certain stores.

Cheapest place to buy Zelda?
- muwu on 19/07/2017 - 09:20
  
  Asking myself this too.
  
  I think it's Target, $74, but their eBay store is out of stock.
  
  I think I'll let MK8 tide me over until a BoTW sale.

  You can get the Zelda bundle on the BigW eBay store for $477 Delivered ATM using COZZIE. Here's the Link

  Check Costco if you're a member. Can't recall the exact price but from memory it was a little over $70

Welp, looks like im pulling the trigger finally today after hearing all the theorys about the patents they own and why the switch is a perfect move for nintendo to get into the VR(Well, AR more likely) space.

I hope stock levels are good.

Wish they had the pro controllers on special.

Redrice on 19/07/2017 - 11:04

Is it possible to have the game swapped with another title in-store?
For example, you order the bundle with Just Dance 17 (JB price $89) and swap for Zelda:BOTW (JB price $79) in-store do you think it's something they can do with no additional costs?

  The only way to know is to ask them(it doesn't hurt to), but generally no. Personally I would say your chance is slim to none.

Picked one up. Is the console meant to come unsealed? They said that's normal but I hope that is the case. Been stung before with returned products sold as new.

  Did you mean unsealed like no wrapping around the box? Then yes
  If you meant the console wasn't in a plastic sleeve, then no!

    Yeah, I mean the box itself. There was no tape or seal on it. The contents look fine though, although I haven't had time to open it up and have a good look yet.

      Mine also unsealed. I think that's how they're all shipped. A lot of games don't come shrink-wrapped either these days.

This was posted 6 years 9 months 5 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
