        • particle on 21/09/2020 - 23:42

          I'm currently having a poor preorder experience with JB. Still waiting for them to ship my S7+ - they say my order is delayed due to "extremely high demand". However i was one of the first to preorder, and ppl who had ordered well after me have got theirs. It's as tho JB are prioritising newer customers to make more sales, and since they already have my money i'm not much of a priority to them i guess. Preordering direct from the manufacturer would be much safer.

  • superforever on 21/09/2020 - 21:04

    People whinge about the 5% off eBay promos, but 1.5% cash back on RRP is sweet? Ok, Ozbargain.

    • Iggemo on 21/09/2020 - 21:11

      RRP is clearly sweet in and of itself for consoles, all the Nintendo Switch deals over the years have proven that time and time again on this site.

    • SydStrand on 21/09/2020 - 21:17
      +2

      For a new, in-demand product that will likely sell out and few bargains to be had, a measly 1.5% 'off' is about the best you can hope for, unless Amazon/Zip Pay do a similar $30 + $50 cashback promotion.

        “Likely sell out”? Based on what, the reception the PS5 has last week?

        • gromit on 22/09/2020 - 08:51

          “Likely sell out”? Based on what

          based on it not being 9am yet and preorders are already all sold out.

          • aja12 on 22/09/2020 - 09:05
            -2

            @gromit: You do realise it’s not sold out, stock is being released in controlled waves. So next LAUNCH STOCK preorders at EB go live at 12:00pm. This is Microsoft controlling stock flow, not being out of stock.

            • gromit on 22/09/2020 - 09:09

              @aja12: and you think this stock is also not going to instantly be snapped up? based on what?

              • aja12 on 22/09/2020 - 09:14
                -3

                @gromit: If Xbox is playing the stock manipulation game, then yes, they probably will.

                My comment is based on what? Based on Xbox selling so poorly compared to Sony and Nintendo for years now, all Xbox Studios games being available on PC, Xbox Studios publishing games on competing platforms, Xbox not having a big system selling game at launch, Xbox treating PC players better than console players etc.

                • gromit on 22/09/2020 - 09:32
                  -1

                  @aja12: the reality is xbox has the most powerful system this time around with better pricing. Sony has a much poorer game lineup this gen also. I would actually expect, stock permitting and unless something drastic changes before EOY, that xbox will easily be the best selling this gen. staging pre order windows is not manipulating stock.

    • [Deactivated] on 21/09/2020 - 21:18

      Historically what do they generally drop down to 6-12 months post release, $50-$100 off?

    • klownvandamn on 21/09/2020 - 21:24

      wait

    • Mi2 on 21/09/2020 - 21:28

      I mean even if they offer it with 2 controller at the same price as now, I would consider it as a good deal. Especially PS5. I'm sure Microsoft does but not sure about Sony. In the next 6 months after release.

    • mangobango on 21/09/2020 - 23:49

      I'm personally waiting.

      Nothing really excites for next gen at the moment, and by the time something does there'll likely be a cheaper "slim" version of these consoles.

        3090 is worse than 3080 in terms of cost per frame. Not a huge difference in games.

      • elcheapodeniro on 21/09/2020 - 22:38

        sorry - I haven't used them yet so didn't want to advise without vetting - but seems legit. Will take time to process gift card, so probably best just dropping $200 EB Games holding payment and then pony up for rest with cards - less trade ins etc, if you go that route.

          Depending on the service you use the Gift Cards are often e-cards and delivered instantly. I got one for JB HiFi through Suncorp last week and it was instantaneous, I could use it straight away on JB's website.

      • jimbobaus on 21/09/2020 - 21:59

        as linked above, there are many services which sell digital gift cards (instant delivery) for various % off
        so you can stand in the store, have to pay $301 and buy $301 exactly in gift cards and get % off … then use that gift card immediately in store to pay

        • vid_ghost on 22/09/2020 - 13:00

          xbox series x

          More power and comes with Dolby Atmos making it better for 4k movies.. That's what i will be mostly using it for.

          • BadGiraffe on 24/09/2020 - 14:41

            @vid_ghost: I'm considering it so I can get old games to play. I've never has an XBox, but I want to get all the old LEGO games and such.

            More power is one thing, but the PS exclusives are fantastic.

            I'm saying goodbye to my hot Steaming pile of shame. Can't be bothered messing around with PCs anymore. Might do the same and get 2 consoles eventually.

        +1

        i disagree, there are titles that are great on consoles , and there are titles great on PC, and each of the preferences are subjective. unfortunately, the argument nowadays often devolves into "PC vs Consoles".

        it's a nightmare (imo) to play city sim games on a console, just as it's a nightmare to play action/VS fighting games on a keyboard and a mouse (and poor PC ports).

        Each platform have their market, it's really an odd thing to see people arguing themselves blue in the face over a platform like it's their favourite team and they have real $ stake in it.

        PC+Xbox is cool, because xbox play anywhere. my switch gets 800+ hours on just 1 game (it's not zelda), and my PS 4 Pro for final fantasy and other titles I don't get on xbox.

        i dont see a need for any pc vs console drama?

            The two main deals i was commenting on was the Zip Pay/Amazon deal (which in itself IS a deal cause you get $80 off)
            and the EB Games Trade in deal, which i consider a deal because you get money off by trading something in.

            The others i was not as active on but you are correct so i will fix that error.

            I am 100% on board being called out on my Hypocrisy
            I should point out i will be buying both consoles and am on record that i think the Series X is a better console

            but you called me out and I will own it

            EDIT: I have negged the deals now (not Amazon or EB as they are deals, as i have not negged the Xbox Trade in deal either or the Telstra Offer)
