Instructions for those that will vote negative because I didn't post detailed instructions on how to request pricematch:

I have provided a recent July 2011 receipt. Print it out
Bring it to JB (or any other store that will price match).
Say: "My friend got it at this price, can you do match it/give me a price close to it?"
They override their normal $100+ price
You pay.

Now I understand why OzBargain requires more than 10 words before it accepts a post.

price matched at jb
I took a 6month old officeworks receipt and asked JB to pricematch. Only tried 1 store so I don't see why it wont work at other stores?
The value in this is that it is a new July 2011 receipt

    Good post…kinda…

  • [Deactivated] on 30/07/2011 - 20:38

    How did you price match? Never tried it before.

  • ScaryZombie on 30/07/2011 - 20:48

    would they be willing to price match with such an old receipt, it appears dated 03/07/11 (well thats the only date I can see on it), or is that still considered recent?

    Any difference between Live and Live HD?

    • GregFiona on 30/07/2011 - 21:11

      (i think it's the same model)

  • Trance N Dance on 30/07/2011 - 21:49

    Or am I just being dyslexica

  • jimcab on 30/07/2011 - 22:26

    That's great for you.. but how are we supposed to get that? Who did you price match against?

    • pilchard on 30/07/2011 - 22:53

      From experience, JB will price match themselves

        right…
        this one is lame lame lame

  • aussman on 30/07/2011 - 22:42

    pricematched who? where? how?
    No help!!!!

  • kanisius99 on 30/07/2011 - 22:50

    Price matched against whom? A month ago?

  • POWERevolution on 30/07/2011 - 22:59

    Price matched almost a month ago!?

      They won't… They'll call to verify price…

  • ozb-442 on 30/07/2011 - 23:08

    Looks like he price matched with a 28 day old receipt… And if it worked for him then why not?

      i doubt it would work at most places…

      i don't think it's a bargain if you have to go search out the 1 store in 10 to find a staff member that doesn't follow their policy properly…

  • Daedalus on 30/07/2011 - 23:38

    Why negative it? I have the receipt just print it out and bring it to JB and they will honour it?

      Does JB still sell it for $72? If not, this is an expired deal…

      price match isn't a bargain, it's a store policy.

      is the deal still on at jb for $72? if so I'll remove my -ve. If not, you are posting an expired deal.

  • ozb-442 on 30/07/2011 - 23:51

    ^^Thank you.

  • Daedalus on 30/07/2011 - 23:57

    I have posted a receipt for $72 so others can get it. cheapest listed price in the market is ~$96 for OW. So how is this not a bargain?

    Without this receipt people won't be able to get it for this price

    • jv on 30/07/2011 - 23:59

      So how is this not a bargain?

      It's not an advertised price…
      If so, provide a link

      "However, if you happen to find a cheaper advertised price on a stocked item even if it's on sale, we will not only match it, we'll beat it by 5% for bringing it to our attention."

    Bring it to JB (or any other store that will price match).

    jb are selling it for $108
    http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/computers-laptops/computer-ac…

    why would they beat their own price ???

    other stores will check the price… $72 would probably be less than wholesale…

  • Daedalus on 31/07/2011 - 00:01

    Let's just let others who are looking to buy a WD TV Live (which is awesome btw and can easily replace a HTPC, this is coming from a HTPC veteran) post back their experiences

    You can just buy at $108

    • jv on 31/07/2011 - 00:04

      You can just buy at $108

      ow sell it for $96

  • jv on 31/07/2011 - 00:03

    Also, Ozbargain posting rules

    "Do not lead bargain with price matched price. Use the offered price, then you are welcome to remind people that you can get a price match. Price matching is a bonus."

    Wow, people get so friggin angry on this site. Chill, the dude was trying to help!

    • Munificent on 31/07/2011 - 01:12

      It's cause OP didn't write for us to go easy on him/her for their 1st post. They invited the hostility upon themselves…

      Not sure if this is technically a bargain, but I can vouch for the product. It's great for streaming videos, have had no issues.

      • jv on 31/07/2011 - 01:19

        yep, great product… I have had the WD Live though freeze on some MKVs on a few occassions… These same MKV file play fine on a PC and on my Popcorn Hour…

      Wow, people get so friggin angry on this site.

      I can't see anyone getting angry… Just people posting comments and opinions… That's what this site is for…

      Unless you think posting at "-ve" implies you are angry ???????

      Fact is, you are not allowed to post a 'Price match' as a deal according to the Ozbargain Rules, that is reason for the "-ve" votes… If this was advertised somewhere for $72, would probably have 300 +'s by now…

  • [Deactivated] on 31/07/2011 - 03:04

    This is akin to a hack - not necessarily wrong - a personal choice, but its isn't a bargain directly offered by a store ie depends on store policy and staff member, so its more appropriate for the forums.

  • bryans on 02/08/2011 - 13:41

    Bought this off JB yesterday. They would only bring it down to $90 for me.
    Didn't realise it had SAMBA file support. Pretty cool and the apps are nice.

  • mrsisterfister on 25/11/2011 - 12:53

    Here's an up to date receipt (3 days ago) for the same price…
