And 3B, not 3B+, which is worth noting
This website shows 3B+, maybe different stock though? Processor Type: MicrocontrollerRevision: Model B+

That's from the About tab
@Zorlin: You could be right, I have no idea I just got the above info from their parent website which I listed in the description 👍
do you mean 3B or 3B+ ?
thanks
I only saw 3B, not 3B+.
Looks very much like 3B, not 3B+
Is the Premium a 3B as well?
By the looks of things, yes.
How do you know if it's 1, 2 or 4GB? All options are available to the market as I understand it. Link doesn't seem to say but maybe I'm not looking in the right place.
It's a Raspberry Pi 3B, not a 4. Only the 4 comes with different memory sizes.
(So it'll be 1GB).
Oh yep. Sorry my error. Brain saw a 4. It's all good. Ta.
It's listed.
"Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
This board is one of the later versions of Raspberry Pi. It features theBroadcom BCM2837 SoC with a CPU speed of 1.2GHz. There is also 1GB of memorycapacity on board."
I thought only the Pi4 came in 1/2/4GB configurations?
What is this one used for? Do you think 11 years old son would like to play it with?
All sorts of things. I have a few, one for Kodi, one for FlightAware ADS-B tracking, but most importantly, one for RetroPie.
Ist better to play Arcade (specially if you playing with light guns) from a PC?
I've never tried any light gun games. I'm a fan of really old school arcade stuff, like Ghosts'n'Goblins for example.
Lightguns only work on CRT TVs
@beebul: Not really, im using Aimtrack light guns on 2019 Sony 65 inch model.
for the tv size i upgraded the gun bar.
How did that sneak in?
Good question
Cheers, grabbed a couple for my home network
or not. Got the charge on my credit card and tax invoice, no shipping details yet and my order history now says "You have placed no orders."
Update: order is there now, status is "processing", still not a good sign if they are oos
Just running pfblockerng now but use the pi for unifi. Cheap great devices that can be used for anything
Out of curiosity, does setting up an ad blocker like that affect things like Cashrewards and Shopback tracking? Even on mobile?
I've got it set up and cashback still works for me
It affects mine, generally the shop won't open when you click on the referrer's link. You can just disable the ad blocker.
Are there white lists to let this stuff through?
@Thrifty McGifty: There are so many affiliate networks involved it's easier just to have a toggle for Pi Hole.
Didnt this mob just go into administration?
risky to buy…then?
Use credit card, no risk :)
Just literally read this article before coming to check on OzB https://www.news.com.au/finance/business/retail/not-a-great-…
The premium kit is $29.99. This deal should be in the title as it's much better value than the starter…
doesn't starter come with more stuff?
Most people wouldn't need mouse and keyboard etc
What's in the premium? It's sold out on both links and so we can't see anymore
Last time I ordered from coop they cancelled the orders.
Curious Planet has the option for PayPal checkout, but it always takes me to the normal checkout. Anyone else having this issue?
Yeah
So, the product code for the R-Pi in the start kit is 896-8660. The link doesn't work, but a quick Google takes me to the RS Online UK page and clearly states:

Did the price just go down to $45 instead of $52.95?
I think op is including shipping
ok cool!
Let's hope that deliver..
And not ozbargained.
So i'm a rookie. What can I do with this? All I know is I like retro gaming…… and i could possibly get into other stuff, like coding. Would someone mind giving me some of the main things a casual could get out of this?
Most common uses are things like Retropie for your retro gaming, installing a network-wide adblocker via pi-hole, maybe use it as a media player if you installed kodi on it, could be the brains of a smart home if you installed home assistant on it, plug a usb drive in to make it into network-wide storage like a cheapo NAS. Those are the things that get trotted out but effectively it's a little computer so if you've got the skills and it ain't toot axing then it can normally coaxed into dong whatever you fancy.
for retro gaming i have a Pi Zero and a Pi 3B+ they work great and i use old PS3 controllers, they can be used for a lot of things the list is very very long, think of them as IOT computers that you can build yourself.. but if you know coding etc i think you can do anything you want with them :)
Thanks guys. Very interesting. In terms of retro gaming what systems could it actually do, or even PC games up to what kinda year etc? :)
This is what i use (link below), retropi and i have a library of NES, SNES, Megadrive games .. SOME PS and N64 games are possible but they do hit the wall at the RASpi 3 level .. but snes games run well no issues so far. Super easy to use and you can also install Kodi and use it as a multimedia centre as well as a retro gaming … you can install linux distro's but not sure about pc games i havent tried it… maybe if they work with linux its possible (very old ones)
Site slow for anyone?
Oh yes!
it's struggling big time. not sure if this is gonna work for me
edit: was quick using that parent company link. all ordered now - no need to create an account either
Apparently crap from the reviews I've read.
Righto. Explains the price.
Cheers OP . Finally after 30 mins struggling with the website managed to order the premium kit . Site is getting smashed .
Happened last time round when it was NatGeo.
Damn that ozbargain devil is sitting on my shoulder saying 'buy one, buy one' but then on the other shoulder is a little voice saying I have so many consoles and other techno stuff connected everywhere in the house already that makes me think what the hell could I use it for…. oh the dilemma.
Would Adblock block cash back sites?
Also, this would also block ads from apps like 7-Plus and Nine Now, right?
you can add whitelist to pi-hole
Can anyone suggest what can we do with these and what sort of programming skills are required ?
I have Home Assistant running on mine. Allows me to integrate all my smart home products from different brands under the one controller.
Has anyone here made a magic mirror using these?
built one with a PI zero
Just received an email to say my order has shipped with tracking. That was quick!
Premium kit now showing as out of stock
But still orderable on parent website… Better use that CC protection
Cheers grabbed 2 premium kits from the other website listed as the first was out of stock
Can replace my pi b+ and pi2 now
Ordered, my first Pi 3
I need to grab another 5 units or so for a class I teach and both sources are sold out - I can't find any other particularly good deals, did anyone have any better luck?
you can get starter kit (as of now) at https://www.coop.com.au/raspberry-pi-3-starter-kit/000000896…
any link I can buy only even 1 ?
Can this be programmed into a chromecast or a netflix box. Thanks.
Out of stock on the beginner kit to now :(
What optimus said^
Premium kits sold out on both sites now.
Managed to get a starter kit. Thanks OP
Would've preferred to get the premium kit don't need the keyboard, mouse etc. but still a great deal. Got the starter kit. For everyone asking what you can do with these, there's a ton of stuff if you don't mind a little tinkering. I have a retro pie and another one hooked up to the official RPi lcd running picoreplayer and squeezebox.
Edit: Forgot the most important part - Thanks OP! :)
Same, had to get the starter kit :(
Would prefer the premium kit….
Thanks OP - got my order in early and have already received a shipping notification.
Just ordered and not even sure why. I think I just got ozbargained :D
Buy now, think later. The ozbargain motto.
I bought more than I needed just to get the free shipping :/
Same :D
Amazing! There's one of these shops near my work, I just went in and picked up their last raspberry pi. A lot of the other stuff in there is 70% off too - some good Xmas presents for nerdy kids
Mine got cancelled.
Yeah, cancelled.
Wow that Premium kit is amazing value !!
