    Thanks kk828! I'm not up to date with console trends - I thought this was pretty new? Anyone know why they'd be discounting this - I had a quick look on ebay and second hand ones are selling for more than $99?

  • Is this instore

  • great deal

  • If only i had xbox 360

    This was spotted in the latest GAME catalogue by falcc on Whirlpool yesterday, so it should be instore too:

    Now all we need is a 4GB Xbox 360 for $199 ; )

    • Isn't there a sale in K-Mart with the 4GB Xbox and Kinect, plus 3 games for $299? That would be a better value in your case.

      For people like me who has not so slim (old) Xbox 360, this is a great price for Kinect!

    • Hey I have a new xBox 360 for $199. I have never used it and its brand new. interested?? PM me

      • Hey, I might be interested. How do I Pm you?

    Great price, i bought this a couple months back from BigW for around $118 thought it couldn't be cheaper. Jump in before it's gone people.
    Nice first post KK.

  • A much more justifiable price.

  • Still think it's a gimmick but nice price anyway

  • its cool but its a noisy when its starting up or moving

  • Im pretty sure this will be a lame waste of money and will be lucky to get used more than once, but for the price I just cant say no :P

  • Just got mine, Thanks

    this is handy!! wish M$OFT Would make one

  • good deal mate. Nice first post

  • +2

    great price i paid 187 when it first came out. dont regret it .. kinect is cool

  • Good price… Anyone know why there is a star against works with any xbox 360? Are there limitations?

    • Dunno, but the only difference between the two Xbox's is that the new one has an extra power port on the back for Kinect. If you use the older Xbox, you'll need a separate outlet. It works on all xbox 360 afaik, so it might just be the powerpoint thing.

      • +4

        I did and I was disgusted at the 'future' of gaming.

    • Troll begone!

  • Thanks for this. I got JB to price match it as they were closer to me than Game.

    • hey,

      do they ring Game and see if they got in stock first before they give you the price match ?

      thanks.

  • way to go on your first post ! Thanks.

  • Out of stock!

    • 4gb model?

  • good price…. i bought this not too long ago when BigW had it for sale (and published here on OzBargain actually). i thought at $115 it was pretty good pricing, but at $99…. wow!

  • +1

    ok, had the day off so i drove around my area to see if anyone would price match…NOBODY was willing to do it!

    EBgames Southland Vic, the guy said yes we have plenty of kinects in stock, when asked for the price match, magically he had none!
    EBgames DFO Moorabbin, they couldn't do it but at least they did not flat out lie to me.
    EBgames chadstone, wouldn't do it but was honest and nice about it.

    EB games price match policy doesn't mean sh2t! Don't understand how they can make promises like this…it should be illegal…

    JB Hi Fi Southland, wouldn't do it.
    JB Hi Fi Chadstone, wouldn't do it.

    Havery Normal Chadstone, wouldn't do it. Even with their 110% price guarantee signs everywhere. Clearly on the sigh it as ANY ADVERTISED PRICE…but apparently, because the website say 1 week only it doesn't count because its categorized as a "special event" and its not an everyday price. Doesn't that exempt them from all advertised prices then??

    Apart from OW, does anyone's price guarantee mean anything these days?

    Oh, I ended up buying it online as game.com.au seem to have stock again

    • +3

      Report that to the ACCC. Misleading and deceptive conduct by HN Chadstone xD

      • -1

        I know I should report it to the ACCC but i'm too lazy :p

        Instead, I'm going to boycott Harvey Norman Chadstone and EBgame Southland, and avoid Harvey Norman and EBgames in general if possible, they don't deserve my business.

        And bitch about it to my friends and family so maybe they won't do business with them either…

    • The staffer blatantly lied to your face? That's really poor.

    • Interesting, you went to every other place except GAME. lol

  • Its back in stock!

  • stock is available ONLINE again, just ordered one

  • me too, just got mine. been checking the site all day hoping for stock!

  • Good price. Plenty in my local GAME store.

  • Walked around Perth City, GAME and all three EB's were cleaned out of stock today, but JB HiFi will still price match. Nice bargain!

  • Is this compatible with an old Xbox 360? Haven't touched mine in almost 2 years.

    • Yes it is you just need to plug it into the wall as well as the xbox, with the newer Slim you just need to plug it into the console

  • out of stock.

  • i finally picked one up of these yesterday from the GAME store, they had plenty in stock. since i couldn't purchase online being out of stock all the time.

    now time to play some ufc personal trainer :D

  • Just got one from JB-hifi in Brisbane, pricematched the $99. Score.

  • Ordered from GAME online on the 5th, received today (8th).

    Perfect.. thanks again OzBargain!

  • Was talking about this whilst buying something different at Dick Smith and the guy on till said I can sell you one at that price if you like - so i bought it!

  • Got mine at Canberra City… only 2 left when I asked on Friday! Thanks OzBargain!

    Just an update, called Game eastland and knox Vic, both said they don't have any stock and no one in vic did either. I ended up bringing up the K-mart website price promise (http://www.kmart.com.au/PricePromise.aspx) where they match any retailers advertised price. Called up K-mart Burwood VIC and explained the situation and even asked if GAME had to have stock for them to price match and she said NO. So off i went with my printed catalog and they happily price matched when i got there.

    So for all interested and had no luck at game, just print a game catalog and head off to kmart

    • having bad feeling about this. but gonna try it out lmao

      • lol let me know how go go, just called ahead in case you get someone who says no. when i went to the counter it was actually a different younger guy than i spoke to on the phone, and i thought oh no there is no way this guy is gonna do it, but sure enough he just looked at the print out and was like yeh no worries, didn't even call a manager or anything to get authorisation

        • OMG!!!just got it from NSW,sydney marrylands,cant believe it work lmao. thank you so much :). i suggest going after 5:30pm so that way they cant call.

    • You were lucky!

      Competitor's product must be in stock in the required quantities in a retail outlet located in Australia.

      Of course, if, for example, Game in NSW had one, then that would be OK. If no Game outlet in Australia had stock, the question is, what proof would K-mart want that the product is in stock? I doubt whether they would phone Game themselves, so being armed with a current catalogue should be enough in most situations.

      • Yeh i had this to fall back on too, as the eastland Game had told me a few vic country stores e.g wonthaggi,albury/wodonga had 1 so if they said no i was gonna say yeh just give them a call

    • hi schumi, any chance you could upload the receipt for us? cheers
