      price match?

      • +4

        If any retailer is smart, they'll 'sell out' dying this period.

    • -7

      Probably pricing error

      • Why a pricing error? The PS4 1TB was $279 a few months ago.

    Awesome entry level price

  • +4

    Finally! Have been waiting for another deal before christmas - maybe other places will follow suit/beat the price!

  • Wow great price. Especially with those cheap PlayStation hits games!

  • +3

    Is the rest of the catalogue available anywhere?

    • most likely have to go in store. Being in sydney, I am not sure if we have the same deal as they guy who posted it.

            @Griffindinho: Definitely not Uncharted waters.

            • @2024: And won't be the Last of Us to make a great pun.

        • Any chance "my blood" a reference to the twenty one pilots song?πŸ˜‚

      • Internet would be a better place without the puns

    Amazon Black Friday deal was far superior especially if you wanted Spider-Man but this is still a great price for the console with the best games this generation.

    • How much was the PS4/spiderman on the Amazon Black Friday deal?

        • +5

          Not to forget, $50 cashback from shopback for 1hr 15 mins.. πŸ˜‰

      • +1

        I got it from Amazon on Black Friday for 220.4 in total after cashback and Spider-Man included

    • im not going to start a fan boy war, but the forza horizon series on xbox only are the only reason i got an xbox one. gran turismo just isnt 'fun' anymore

      • +1

        I played GT5 a fair bit, enjoyed some, but the sections where you farm out large driving sections to a bot were bizarre.

        • +1

          theres a fine line between giving the gamers what they wants VS giving the game designer what they want. i think in gt's case, theyve given a bit too much leniency to the dev's to go wild

          • @DiscoJango: Polyphony Digital should have done more. However, got to give them a bit of credit for adding more contents in (i.e. GT League - which is basically offline mode though short). Sure, Forza Horizon 4 is probably more fun for most people, but GT Sport has done enough for me (considered how little I paid for it). I just generally don't enjoy games that drag on too much.

            Racing fans would prefer PC or XB1 simply because there are more titles and variety from FH4 and FMS7. I still have active GamePass subscription (from the $1 per month deal) and already finished RDR2, yet I have no interest to play FH4 anymore - just finding it repetitive and not motivated to spend time collecting credits to buy the remaining houses, could not be bothered paying other players to buy credits from them to buy those houses). For $2, I certainly got my money worth out of FH4, but I personally wouldn't pay for FH4 (I already paid for FH2, FH3 and FMS7). I spent so little time on FMS7 it really was a waste of money for me.

      • πŸ˜‚ GT Sport was only ever intended to be a online sim but nobody followed its development, blindly bought the game & was bitterly disappointed even though there was about 50 hours of single player content before the updates. It's plenty of fun if you enjoy competitive multi-player otherwise best you wait for GT7.

        • That comes down to poor communication on sonys behalf then. If "no one" knew it was supposed to be an "online only simulator" and Sony did, well that says something.

          • @DiscoJango: Played both. Enjoyed both and got tired of both fairly quickly. GT Sport is more like Forza Motorsport 7 than Forza Horizon. Also, I thought most people knew GT Sport is not like the normal GT.

            While Forza Horizon 4 is probably more fun for most people, after playing all 4 seasons once, I got tired of it. Just cannot be bothered spending time collecting CRs to buy those last few expensive houses. Also, it does feel that Microsoft milk their customers on Forza a bit too much for this gen (I own FH2, FH3 and FMS 7). I am glad it is $1 for Game Pass in Nov and Dec. It is a PlayAnywhere title so I can play it on Windows 10 as well.

            Had more fun with FH4 than GT Sport, but children in my household prefer GT Sport (because of the motion control mode on dual shock 4) - weird because I cannot play properly with motion control on DS4.

          • @DiscoJango: No they never sold it as anything but an online sim & the title is a dead giveaway, not GT7, "Sport" that thing we do with & against others. It has FiA accreditation, something no other racing game except GT6 has achieved.

      • +1

        Gran Turismo Sport will outsold Forza when it's all said and done. With all the free update lately GTS is getting pretty fun and competitive.

    Get slim over pro, youll thank me for not having to play with earmuffs

    • +4

      My new Pro is whisper quiet.

    • +6

      A new version of the pro has been released which apparently Amazon was selling on their Black Friday deals and they have fixed the jet engine fans.

    • +1

      Only the Pro 70xx series is really bad. Get in on the Spidey bundle (71xx) or RDR2 bundle (72xx) series and it's OK.

      • Can confirm 7102B is noisy af

      • My pro sounded like a jet engine until i replaced my fan, thermal pads and thermal pads. Whisper quiet now. Well worth it!

    • Isn't the Pro more powerful than the slim? Like it provides better fps and/or resolution?

      • -3

        Games get an actual 1-2% performance boost, very happy with my slim

        • +1

          Some newer games (and older games that have been updated with Pro support) have built-in Pro performance modes, and they very obviously perform better when compared to a Slim.

          I don't think anyone would be unhappy with the performance of a Slim, but it's not a negligible difference as you're insinuating.

    • +3

      Even if you have a 1080p display get a pro, so much better in every aspect & all Pro models started out quiet, my launch model was silent for by he first 12 months. Taking into consideration the new model runs hotter yet is quieter & Sonys poor quality & application of thermal products the new model will also be loud in 12 to 18 months.

      I just stripped down my launch pro & replaced the thermal paste & pads with Thermal Grizzly, the fan still spins up but nowhere near as loud as it was. Also bought a slim last month d the UI is laggy as all hell.

      • +2

        Even if you have a 1080p display get a pro

        That's some pretty broad advice, while I think the Pro is worth the extra over the Slim, I wouldn't recommend it to everyone.

        If you appreciate console gaming and the exclusives the PlayStation has to offer, get the Pro, but if you're a parent just looking to buy a console for your child, the Slim is the better option.

        • Yeah, it was aimed at gamers. It's not like a parent is going to drop $460+ when you can get a slim for $300 or less. My daughter wanted a Xbox for Christmas last year, I sure as hell didn't get her a X πŸ˜‚

          • +1

            @Liamhos08:

            Yeah, it was aimed at gamers.

            Fair enough, but how are members that are parents shopping for their children meant to know that?

            • @magic8ballgag: Because the original comment was "you'll thank me not having to play with earmuffs".

              • @Liamhos08: I don't quite understand your logic.

                Your recommendation was that everyone should just buy the Pro model console, regardless of whether they had a 1080p or 4k display, which isn't great advice.

                • @magic8ballgag: The person that made the comment is a gamer & a parent isn't going spend almost double the $ on a pro & I did say "Even if you have a 1080p display".

                  • +1

                    @Liamhos08:

                    The person that made the comment is a gamer

                    What does that have to do with your comment?

                    a parent isn't going spend almost double the $ on a pro

                    They might if they read your recommendation.

                    • @magic8ballgag: πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈI was replying to the original comment (a gamer) & so what if they do by their kid a pro, as I said it's a better experience, better graphics & frame rates even @ 1080p, more responsive UI & faster load times. From my experience with the Pro, slim & og PS4 you'd be best to avoid the slim, I've only had the slim since the 4th of December & I've already had to reinstall the system software which would be a monumental headache for a parent with no idea.

                      • +1

                        @Liamhos08: If money isn't an issue, then they can buy their child a unicorn for all I care, but I think it's ill-advised to tell everyone to not buy a Slim simply because you've had a bad experience with one.

                        For the record, I own a Pro console and have previously owned a Slim also, and I agree with what you've said comparing the two, although they are both suited to different people.

                        • @magic8ballgag: Well my point was I was replying to a gamer & therefore speaking to gamers, my bad for assuming but I highly doubt 95% of people in this community would spend that much unless they were capable of it. While I didn't buy my daughter a one X for Christmas I did get her the 1TB minecraft xbox which cost me $400 & if the X was available for $500 I probably would have got it for her, I'm by no means well off but it tis the season to spoil them rotten πŸ˜‚ anyway, Merry Christmas.

  • If you have the rest of the catalogue available, would you happen to know if the Pokemon Lets Go + Pokeball Plus bundle is going down to $99 again from next week? The Ozbargainer in my can't bear to pay an additional $10 if I don't have to..!

    • +1

      No sale on the bundle but Pokemon let’s go on it’s own is $62 if that helps.

      • Thanks for checking!

    • -1

      If it's for a kid I think the Pokeball plus would be a good purchase but other than that I don't think it's worth the extra ~$30

  • +2

    Is there any pro deals or just the slim?
    Seems like no pro deals coming before Christmas need to use my $50 Harvey cash back lol

    • $469 for Pro in that sale.

      Not the best deal but better than full retail I guess.

      • Bundled or console alone?
        Might just get mr Harvey to match $419 after cash back.
        Not as good as last years deal $419 with $100 Amex cashback

    • +2

      Buy a gift card then wait

      • gift card online or in store?

  • -1

    Are there any Xbox one x deals in this catalogue?

  • Decent price for the pro too, can see some cheap bundles coming up from JB and EB to compete for the end of the Christmas rush.

    • +2

      look out for amazon mainly

      • True, I don't think they will do another cheap bundle though but can see JB and EB doing something this week.

        • +1

          nah i reckon they will they want to keep competition and it was announced via multiple sites that sony will play a big part in amazon sales and nintendo so yeh the amazon sale is looking to be a stellar

  • +1

    Hoping that Amazon come in with a ripper deal before Christmas, especially for the Pro

    • +1

      Probably have to wait until Boxing Day for a ripper Pro deal.

      • I live in hope haha

        • +1

          Ditto! Just also have to hope any sales for a Pro will be on a 72 series model, not 71.

  • Does anyone know if these sales start at midnight on their website or at a later time?

  • -3

    Good price to flog on gumtree for quick profit.

    • +1

      Of course Broden says that.

    • How much do you charge on scumtree? $350 lol

    • Can someone please link us back to the original? Before my time I think, but was golden.

    • +1

      We need more Broden licence plates in the gift shop, I repeat, we are sold out of Broden licence plates.

    • +1

      Surprised you didn't "Broden" the $199 Harvey Norman (Amex deal) ones 2 years ago.

    • Mate, where have you been? I thought you disappeared.
