Just been in store and looked at the catalogue. Whether or not it was a misprint at this particular store or not I'm not sure but my local store definitely shows this exact deal at $569.
If the catalogue starts in 3 days, would the deal be live in store yet anyway?
I believe the catalogue is current but this particular deal doesn't go live until Thursday. At least on the catalogue I saw it said available from 03/10/2019.
They have done this tons of times in the past
Have a bundle for X dollars
and then lower it for a sale
It's clearly a price error.
Probably a deliberate one, Kogan style.
everyone, lets smash jb with phone calls, just for kicks…..
This is not a common-place sale as well - there was this one and one other Amazon sale I believe which was down underneath $400.
I would consider $400-450 a good deal on a X One X currently, although if you have patience it'll obviously drop further in the next year.
Did either of you actually read the comments in that bargain? It was a price error…
Anthem even counts?
It’s over $200 off the price. What the hell are you bitching about?
If only there was a method to give them to someone who wants to play them in exchange for money to spend on games YOU like…
What is this sorcery you speak off? Blasphemy. There is no such method.
/s
I agree, those games aren’t to my liking at all. But if the bundle really was $329 it’s still a bargain even you give the games away for free.
if fifa is a code im happy to buy it off anyone that buys the package and doesn't want it.
If you have a catalogue print, you could claim price guarantee under your credit card provided sufficient difference threshold is being met.
That's a really good idea
Wowee a steal at that price…gamepass and an X is amazing value
This is a pricing error. Correct price is meant to be $569
Having worked for JB for 5 years in TV sales most of what the guy said is the truth alot of those digital codes are provided from Microsoft or Sony and cant be changed as it's supplier funded even Staff don't get consoles cheaper we have to wait for boxing day or black Friday sales (that's when I got my Xbox one s battlefield 1 edition for $279) So that's why EB, HN etc says they can't price match because they have been given different offers too etc.
I know a hn employee that bought the cod bundle 3 years ago.
The code is a license to use on a machine.
Oh, my.
The entitlement is strong with this one.
What is the best or avergae price for an additional XBox wireless controller ?
$60 seems normal, but I bought mine for $50.
Enlighten me please with $50 deal
I just found one on ebay actually, would recommend that route if there are any still at a decent price
Looks like the other 3 games for PS4 were the Uncharted trilogy based on the jb website image…
Everyone crying price error. The sale doesn't start until 3 October. Just because it isn't currently this price on the website (as at 30 September) doesn't make it a "price error".
I got the catalogue in the mail today too. Says $329. Might try my luck on Thursday morning.
It's likely a pricing error. Hope it is not, but consider PS4 Slim package price is much higher, the odds is not so good.
Let us know how you go, just messaged my mate at Garden city they were all notified its a price error about it on this morning's meeting !
they are selling them off cheap as the Xbox 2 next gen is coming
Not until December 2020. Probably going to be clearing them out some time next year.
Assuming it isnt an error, is it worth it knowing the next gen consoles are out around November next yr?
Yes, at this price (if it is not a pricing error), the XB1X bundle will sellout very quickly. There are people really into latest FIFA and NBA games (so selling those two games should get you back a decent amount). Even just the console for $329 is a good deal.
Next gen console will be $650AUD at least, given how weak AUD is.
Definitely worth it knowing that you should wait a further 12 months after launch for them to iron out the bugs in a new console.
This would be far too cheap to be real.
This pricing is almost like a target clearance price where they're happy to lose money.
Pricing error is more likely. As people have pointed out, based on the page:
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/pages/xbox-bundles
Both XB1S ($329) and XB1X ($569) bundles (with these two games) end 10/10/2019. It doesn't make sense to clear XB1X now.
Might not be a pricing error. This generation is nearly over. I know the X is beast. But still hard to justify that much on a console with 12 months left on its life.
What?…. You must be joe king.
Sold my Xbox One X not long ago, No point of keeping it just for gears 5, Gamepass is ok but I realised I should only be playing one game at a time otherwise it's just a waste of money, I sold Astral Chain which I didn't finish to play Borderlands 3 which I hope to finish before the outer world's, I still buying cheap Xbox one games to go onto the next Xbox though as I will buy both ps5 and xb2 at launch.
Thanks for letting us know.
This all sounds like terrible advice.
I bet it's gonna be the digital console
The Xbox one x doesn’t have digital only version.
Thanks Captain obvious. I'm referring to the price…
Holy crap that’s amazing! Buying one for sure
Been waiting for a bundle like this so I can pick up 2k20 and fifa 20 off gumtree for cheap lol
If you've got price protection on your credit card you could just buy the bundle at 569 then claim the difference back on the insurance if you have a hard copy of the catalogue
Yes. Proof might be required for a claim this size. Check your price protection t&c
Hard copy of the catalogue is proof you'd think?
Yep.
@BewareOfThe Dog: Is it likely to be honored?
Ie using 28degree card.
Do you have to purchase from same shop?
Xbox or PS4?
Both + Switch + PC + Android device + iOS device
Look alike Xbox is the real bargain here. I’m still stuck in the 90s lol. Need to read up on the latest offerings.
Better be careful with these pricing errors , or poor Ivan will develop PTSD and demand compensation.
great deal if true, will keep my fingers crossed for you guys, very happy with my xb1x

Looks like its for the One S price. Unlikely to be valid considering this is for the same promotional period on their site with the same One X bundle listed at $569
They will have posters around the store apologising for the price error
That $329 is def S Price and the S is a Piece of S***
And paying $499 for a base PS4, games or not this late into the console cycle is ridiculous. Most of those games are under $20. This aint smashing prices!
any good sales on ps4 pro?
Would any other store price match if I show catalogue?
Most likely not. They'd look at the website, to see what it says.
If it is true I might pull the trigger on this Xbox despite the fact that I already own a Ps4 Pro and PS4 Slim.
