If anyone's interested, I have a new A500 leather case+screen protector+stylus sitting around for nothing (sold my A500 before these items arrived from oversea).
Can put it on eBay for $15 if someone needs.Yes, interested!
And we may just return with something special :p
16GB microSD?
Isnt this Wifi only version?.
yes.A500 is wifi only and A501 is 3G model.
What's the voucher good for?
"With every purchase of an Acer tablet you will receive an eGift Voucher you can use to redeem music or ebooks". So not good for anything really.
You're right no one has any use for music or ebooks.
Well it depends on what music/ ebook store the voucher is good for and whether the files have drm. Would be pretty useless if the files aren't portable or if the range is rubbish
They better give $100 for purchase any Acer stuff (eg. Acer laptop) or something
Go to officeworks, ask them to beat the price by 5%. By law, they have to, they put a public announcement everywhere.
yeah i gonna try OW is this any good
They might say they don't have stock…
always pretend to be buying first and then bring up the subject of HN's promo beginning with "Oh by the way…."
Which law is that? They don't have to beat the price at all, no matter what they say.
I wasn't aware that a company can create its own laws.
What did you mean?
LOL this will be the third time OW get stung by this ninja attack from HN
Would love to see their reaction again on this :D
They don't "have" to do anything, they have terms and conditions that protect them from "having" to do it.
The contact law, competition and consumer law.
Doesn't apply to the price match guarantee.
It is a offer to public, another format of agreement.
1st year Law?
It's not a binding agreement, it's an invitation to purchase the item at a given price. The law varies from state to state.
In summing up, it's the Constitution, it's Mabo, it's justice, it's law, it's the vibe.
It is unlawful for businesses to make false or misleading representations about goods or services in promotions or advertising. Misleading and deceptive conduct….. Would be a job for the ACCC!
Whats the e-card for then?
For eBooks or musics, books on that website are normally priced around $70-$1xx. You can find some books for $2x but I am sure you won't buy it…
Great tablet and for $386, it's nuts. Expect all three of the others (OW/DSE/JB) to be at the same price tomorrow morning, so it's really a matter of who you prefer to buy from or who has one in stock in your local area.
Nah..I tried that before, JB could not match the price at all
Only officeworks will lower its' price i think.
JB in Melbourne CBD matched the HN price the last time this sale was on. They best they could do was $382.
i'll buy it when the price drops to below $250
It'll be 2 generations old by then and you'd be tempted for the latest one :)
Just bought one. Note that the price on the shelf was the original pricing so I had to ask the sales guy. He didn't even know about it and had to look it up. As I was paying another sales guy walked past and commented how a lot of people had bought them today but couldn't understand why as they'd apparently been the same price for a month. I mentioned Ozbargain and he was like aaaaahhhhh it all makes sense now.
http://dicksmith.com.au/product/XC8103/iconia-a500-16gb-wifi… Much better value ate Dick Smith for $488, Lol jks
again, next generation is coming out soon ( i mean asus transformation 2). self-control….wait…..
Will this work?
- Buy in the Good Guys ($480) using Amex ($30 gift card)
- Get the 120% price match refund = (480-386)*1.2 = ($112.8)
- (I am going oversea next month) Tourist GST refund = ($480/11) = 52.8
So the true cost of the tab = $480-30-112.8-52.8= $284.4
Yay or Nay?
Where do you get $52.8 (the figure I get is $43.6) GST credit from?
Maths fail. Instead of dividing by 11, he multiplied by 0.11.
$43.6-ish is the correct amount.
Actually you are correct…
$480-30-112.8-43.6 =$293.6
Got one from Garden City Brisbane. There were two left in stock back around midday. Price was not marked down on the floor, but I got the sale price just by asking. Didn't get that voucher though, not that I'm worried.
Edit: Just realised the voucher is redeemed online here

I've negotiated the A501 16GB 3G for $500.is that a good deal?
Well apart from the special VIP sale that that guy got… I took the receipt into TGG and there was no way that they can do that price and no one else will. I saw another guy got $430 in a 40% off sale. Just wondering what other best prices are out there?
i was going to get this or the asus eee pad, but once i found out that the acer cannot play video files over 100mb, i went for the asus
WHAAAT? WTF is it being used for then?
Can you backup your claim?
I've played 3GB files on it no worries so I don't know whhere that comes from?
got the info from a cnet review, and the jb hifi sales consultant said the same thing…
unless the latest software update has resolved this issue since the cnet review
Not a bad price. Dealfox had it for $350 or $300 refurb not too long ago. Don't think many people care about the e-card voucher.
Still a good price. +ve
