        Did you take in anything to show them the DJ price? I'm thinking I'll go to Big W tomorrow with a printout of the DJ website and some of these receipts and try my luck.

          I phoned 1st. They accepted my word for it - though I was prepared to show them the website on the phone. I did try another BigW 1st but they refused on the grounds that "David Jones is not a direct competitor"

        • crotchoftheday on 10/07/2011 - 11:12

          Well, Big W Doncaster said no when I called them. Won't match unless it's in a paper catalogue.

      • rmk on 09/07/2011 - 21:27

        thanks if I decide to get one i'll try David jones in the city or Big W on Monday, can you please possibly put up your receipt as it might help to have one from WA .. I am really surprised Big W did it as I've tried before at Big W Phoenix and they said no straight out. Mind you I wasn't very forceful and didn't ask for the manager!

    Stupid question but are EB Games matching these prices?

    • Tal_Shiar on 09/07/2011 - 22:21

      Atleast you asked, but generally no, it would be a near miracle for them to do so

    • Garyyy on 09/07/2011 - 22:33

      If it's a huge reduction, they'll most likely turn you away. From personal experience they don't price match web offers either.

    • gilbarc on 09/07/2011 - 23:40

      I'm pretty sure EB don't price match hardware at all anymore, unfortunately.

        This is true.

    • Super_Dre on 10/07/2011 - 12:47

      I asked a friend who works at EB if they would. They said they will only price match in-store items that are in stock

    I got mine yesterday from David Jones Parramatta, also pricematched Zelda from DSE, so $245 for the console + Ocarina of time, I couldn't be happier. The person at the register was heaps nice though and matched it straight away without question :D

    • Keef on 10/07/2011 - 13:03

      so whats the verdict for those who do not have a 3DS? are they any good?

      • Twisty on 10/07/2011 - 14:19

        They are fantastic

      • filshells on 10/07/2011 - 15:13

        I am really impressed. Its got all the awesomeness of the original ds with way better graphics, more goodies and 3D.

        Some quality titles coming along soon as well.

      • LibertyPrime on 10/07/2011 - 18:39

        The only criticism of the console was the price vs the more specced Vita, and also the lack of quality launch titles. But at $199, and with Zelda now released, along with the eShop and other goodies, the console is actually worth it. I wouldn't pay more than $300 for the Console with a decent game. On the plus side the build quality is astounding.

      • GreatWhiteHunter on 11/07/2011 - 18:20

        My kids have a DS Lite, Dsi, Dsi XL and a 3DS between them.

        XL is the best in their opinion due to the large screen size. Would be good if 3DS screen was the XL size…

    • ronyh on 10/07/2011 - 18:17

      any chance could get a copy of your receipt going to DJ parra tomorrow morning would be helpful, thanks.

      • LibertyPrime on 10/07/2011 - 18:40

        I'll try and find the receipt, but like I said, they didn't question the price. I had a print-out of the website and the page loaded on my phone as backup. You might also notice the complete lack of staff at Parramatta, so don't be surprised if you have to go to a different department to ask for someone to be sent to serve you.

  • zhouhon0781 on 10/07/2011 - 15:39

    I went to DJ Wollongong and showed the proves. They wrote down my phone and promised to call me tomorrow after they check the information from the company. Unfortunately.

    Was in Sydney CBD and tried DJ there. Was told they had no more stock. No one else would price match. Tried Myers, JB, Game…

  • diddy50 on 10/07/2011 - 18:01

    Success! Jb at maribyrnong. Bought two.

    Reason for the price match was dj had stock at the cbd store and I could buy either colour…

    So I bought both…

    • crotchoftheday on 10/07/2011 - 18:49

      Receipt?

      • deviant on 10/07/2011 - 19:19

        yep receipt would be awesome

      $275 buy it now!

      • diddy50 on 10/07/2011 - 21:07

        hahaha yep selling both! good find!
        I bought my daughter a monkey ball pack from JB for $298 the other day.
        Need to balance the high price of that cost :)

      • diddy50 on 10/07/2011 - 21:13

        plus you saw that FAST! only just put them up!
        you must really want one…
        (free shipping for you!)

        • crotchoftheday on 10/07/2011 - 21:26

          Heh. I'm not that keen. For $200 though, sure.

    • rmk on 10/07/2011 - 20:39

        think he said there were 3 or 4 to the person on the phone and they put one aside for them

        • rmk on 10/07/2011 - 21:02

          thanks muchly

  • GreatWhiteHunter on 10/07/2011 - 20:28

    Hmm went so Sydney CBD - they said they had no stock but they had 5 in the cabinet.

    Then they said it was an internet only special…

      So they lied to you? Are you sure you weren't in a Harvey Norman store?

  • rmk on 11/07/2011 - 10:27

    Looks like David Jones have taken the page down! Now it's back up with a changed price but still out of stock

    • zhouhon0781 on 11/07/2011 - 11:37

      Looks like it was a mistake.

        good for all those that managed to get it price matched, I decided in the end I didn't really need another console!

  • markis on 14/07/2011 - 13:42

    Got 1 at jb hifi Carindale. Those guys are always helpful. $199 + Zelda $49 = $248

  • purplebangle on 14/07/2011 - 19:01

    Saw a 3DS in action at Myer today, kinda makes me want one now. Too bad it's probably too late to price match.

    • [Deactivated] on 14/07/2011 - 19:34

      Save your money for the 3DS Lite, 3DSi or 3DSi XL ;)
