      I've already received the catalogue in the mail. Brisbane. Might not be in all Cities…. Plot twist

      • OZcheepsk8 on 29/01/2019 - 22:30

        hopefully they match their own stores nationwide…

      The OP has a picture at the top of the Ad showing the special price.

      I checked the website, they only have 2x current catalogues on their website atm. There might be a scan somewhere on the internet of the upcoming catalogue, but I haven't looked.

      Can anyone confirm if another state/store can have their own version of the catalogues? I thought there is just ONE catalogue for all JB stores country wide…

    • johnnyle on 30/01/2019 - 02:42

      Prob you just ruined something loads of ppl here have been waiting for.

  • ironworthy on 29/01/2019 - 21:18

  • ADrunkSquirrel on 29/01/2019 - 22:31

    I'll be heading in on Thursday to ask for the difference refunded, as I bought it early so as not to miss out. Lady on the phone said it'd be fine and she put it aside for me at the time.

    Gon' cry if I end up spending $800 on this thing, no joke :(

  • CheapGit on 30/01/2019 - 01:37
    +15

    It looks like to many people are going in-store and bringing up this deal instead of waiting.

    I put up this deal to be helpful and not for people to abuse the system, whether that be hoping to get a refund, price drop protection or whatever.

    There is only one version of this JB catalogue and I've had a copy sitting at work since couple days before posting.

    If they decide to pull it or change the catalogue after its now been printed for whatever reason the changes may show up here https://www.jbhifi.com.au/General/Catalogue-Corrections/

    I'm not associated with JB but my company gets lots of catalogues early.
    I've resisted posting early deals from the catalogues in the past….

      no not that many, only a couple ppl that are probably "junior" Ozb'ers TBH.

      A note to all - DO NOT bring this up until the deal officially starts!! Otherwise you're just ruining it for yourself and everyone else! Please DO NOT DO IT!!

      OP - maybe you would wanna add this warning to your post…

        I think it would be a lot more than a couple since there is now no stock available in Melbourne CBD.
        When this deal was posted all 3 Melbourne city stores had stock.

  • Tyrx on 30/01/2019 - 06:31

    There is no legal requirement for JBHIFI to honor their price guarantee and/or change of mind returns. ACL only states that the store must follow their policy if they have one, and there are clauses in the JBHIFI policy which enables them to reject returns for such reasons. There is going to be a lot of salty individuals in this thread when they realise that their "pre-order" scheme won't work. People have attempted this in the past and it's never worked out well for them.

  • giventofly on 30/01/2019 - 08:04

    I bought $500 worth of vouchers for this deal. Hope it's available online. If not, I might just get a Pixel 3 for the missus.

      Hopefully they didn't just see the same OzB deal that we have :p that said, the store i went to said they were getting more stock presumably in the lead up to this deal so fingers crossed or im eating $320 (yes I know this is my own fault lol).

      I honestly hadnt considered that buying beforehand and asking for the price difference refunded after to be wrong.

      • mlburnian on 30/01/2019 - 11:26

      G7:
      + If you like LCD more than OLED
      + If you like the fastest CPU on the market currently
      + If you like a narrower form factor
      + If you like to play music through your phone's speaker
      + Take lots of selfies

      V30:
      + If you like OLED
      + Dont mind a little older CPU
      + Better battery life
      + Slightly wider form factor
      + Save a bit of $$

      • Major Mess on 30/01/2019 - 16:40

        Plus 4k 60fps
        20% less battery life than the V30 tho.

  • PrimalNuke on 30/01/2019 - 10:36

    Called and put one on hold last night (store had 4). The store just called to tell me of the price drop and to make sure I pick it up Thursday, not today. The salesperson was more than happy to hold it despite the sale. Pretty good service that I wasn’t expecting.

    • kclaw89 on 30/01/2019 - 10:56

      Which store did you visit? The one I asked the staff said they know nothing about the discount

      • PrimalNuke on 30/01/2019 - 15:31

    • OfTheOverflow on 30/01/2019 - 13:44

      Grab a Spigen case, i got the Rugged Armor one.

    • Zeral on 31/01/2019 - 08:39

      Ringke fusion case with spigen style ring or iring.

      Phone is big so it's easier handle the phone by holding the ring, free kickstand, and the bumper is thick so it won't scratch the screen when it drops on a flat surface.

      I've had the phone for a yr with no screen protector on my note 8 and v30 and have had no problems.
      If you're an outdoor person then maybe it's best that you get a screen protector in case you drop it onto a rock or something.

      Using a screen protector just doesn't feel as good and it makes the bumper from a case negligible and pointless.

  • Naed on 30/01/2019 - 14:47

    I've located an overview of the catalogue on JB's website - I won't post details as that'll just make more people go in to hound staff. It doesn't show the price for the phone, just the discount of 40% (price is hidden by a banner). The chances of JB producing the catalogue and not going ahead are (I'm guessing) quite small - though stock is obviously going to be the major hurdle. The overview image shows 4 pages but I can't make out any other products specifically.

    I tried getting the actual catalogue from their site but JBs naming conventions for this catalogue are a bit random so I couldn't find it (or it's not accessible to public yet).

    • m9 on 30/01/2019 - 15:04

      Saw the same thumbnail and it looks identical to the cover posted by OP. All is good I guess.

  • johnnyle on 30/01/2019 - 17:18

    Called some stores to check the stocks level, the staff honestly told me to hold my eager till tomorrow as it will be on sale. So I think the deal definitely there.

    Perhaps a store updated their internal signage late Wednesday before closing. Perhaps my partner was looking out for me and found one (the only one this store had).

    Good luck all, glad I won't be at the doors at 9am (or seeing if they refresh the site at midnight or 4 am to secure stock (cough-cough).

        they would have sold it tomorrow, can't imagine anyone would get in trouble (more than having no stock, this could get a little angsty)

        • johnnyle on 30/01/2019 - 18:40

      LineageOS 16 is available on XDA
      https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/rom-line…

      other ROMs here
      https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development

      to be able to flash ROMS, you will need to unlock the bootloader and use TWRP etc, most have done this following the WTF guide, however to do this you need to flash an earlier Oreo firmware than they are shipping with.
      https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/how-to/wtf-lg-v30-t3…

      • PrimalNuke on 30/01/2019 - 19:54

        Cool thanks. I've a little experience in flashing custom roms/bootloaders and will give it a crack tomorrow.

        Are you running a custom ROM on H930DS?

        • [Deactivated] on 30/01/2019 - 19:55

          Not at the moment, I am happy with stock firmware for now, with a few enhancements.
          I will try out Lineage at some point though I imagine.

          By the way don't attempt the unlocking if the phone is on the later Oreo firmware, and you have not fully understood this method of unlocking it.

          Make sure you read up on what is needed and how to do it. The xda post has been a bit hard to follow for some.

          • PrimalNuke on 30/01/2019 - 20:10

            @[Deactivated]: Yep, will go through the full thread tomorrow with the phone and make sure I 100% understand.

            It is possible to flash back to the previous firmware, right?

            • [Deactivated] on 30/01/2019 - 20:44

              @PrimalNuke: Yes you can with the LGUP tool and the early Oreo firmware kdz file.

    • PonyTable on 31/01/2019 - 09:24

      Yes, I have had this phone for 12 Months and finally flashed/unlocked it over the xmas break. Pixel Experience and Lineage are both pretty stable, minor glitches in both, but more ongoing support for Lineage is usually the case. Issues I have experienced so far: Cant unlock phone via voice unlock, Proximity sensor is more sensitive, light sensor is more sensitive, media and ring volume is lower than stock, always on display is darker - Otherwise everything else is working (You can also patch with Magisk to hide root/unlocked bootloader get Android Pay etc working). Overall its better than the LG stock rom, significantly better battery life for one - For me it added 6 Months more life to this phone, lets see if we get wireless charging on the OnePlus 7 or 7+!

          Thanks, as I have a staff from a store told me it is one day deal. Then there was another one from a different store told me it will last for a week when I asked them when they are expecting the additional stocks to be received. A bit of confusion.

          • jassssone on 30/01/2019 - 21:42

        • jjjia on 30/01/2019 - 22:44

          Anz platinum card offers extended warranty (for another year) although insured up to purchase price.

          I'm thinking of buying this using anz card and purchasing a 12 month Kogan sim using an Amex card - from reading the T&C it seems like the screen insurance is also valid if you purchased a sim only plan - requires a minimum of 12 month for it to satisfy the condition.

          That way I get the extended warranty + screen insurance.

          • whichtyler on 31/01/2019 - 00:05

            @jjjia: Be careful with that - if it's anything like the Amex insurance it will be excluded by the small print:

            SIM Only Plan does not mean: month to month contracts, ‘no lock-in contracts’, prepaid, top up or add-on plans or purchases.

    Can't get to a store for another 6 days. Is it likely that they'll have restocked (and have not re-sold out by then), or is my only chance to get one of these to buy online for click & collect ASAP?
    I know we can't predict the future, just wondering at your best guess, how hot sales like these usually turn out.

    • OfTheOverflow on 30/01/2019 - 23:53

      It's very likely to be sold out I'm afraid. Your best bet would be to call them first thing and ask if they could put it aside for that duration, or click & collect once the price goes live.

      My store were getting a few extra units for the sale for example, as apparently many are, but I don't think there's enough to last that long without you taking one of the above steps.
