MOD: Dicksmith has informed us that this is a Pricing Error. Please do not place any further orders.

Seems these were part of a bundle that has been unbundled, similar to Big W's Gunstringer / Fruit Ninja deal.

Express delivery is $9.95 per order - limit of 5 of each item.

I spotted this a few days ago, and Phalaxis and Shooty McLooty on Whirlpool gave it a crack…both got theirs delivered today:

I put in an order this morning for 3 x 3 month xbox live codes, and have just been sent the tracking number from AAE.

          Thanks for the tip! Done too. Hoping it doesn't go out of stock or something before they reserve it… fingers crossed for a year for 5c!

          +2

          I did click and collect also they gave me a call saying they won't accept it, you have to buy the console to get it free. So buy online if you still want.

        • Tal_Shiar on 21/03/2012 - 00:21

          Actually you should hope that they actually reserve it with dick smith

        • Mikinoz on 21/03/2012 - 10:18

    maximum 5 per transaction.

    ordered it twice (2 sets of 5 items) to the same address and it still went through fine :)

    OI GUYS

    Tried once to order for delivery, it rejected me and said they don't have 5 available, adjusted my order to one. Tried again, got:

    Hey there, the item below is not available for Home Delivery
    They will remain in your cart after purchase of available items

    Seems it is expired. Managed to put a click and collect order through first, hopefully they don't tell me I need to buy an Xbox with it like they told others.

    far out bought 5x xbox live codes, for $10, was in such a hurry didnt get a game with it for an extra cent :(

    oh and btw the collect in store option makes you pay an extra 9.95 too for some reason :S

      Don't worry Billy Brown I did the same thing. Don't be fussed though, you just got 1 1/4 years Live for $10!

  • footywiz11 on 20/03/2012 - 21:57

    I doubt that you can get them in-store due to the conditions being that you have to purchase a Kinect 250GB console.

    • winga26 on 20/03/2012 - 22:07

      I tried for click and collect because the website crashed after I had everything I wanted in the cart and once it reloaded it was all gone. I guess I'll find out more tomorrow morning, I don't see any terms saying that it won't be honoured in store.

      • Ughhh on 20/03/2012 - 22:13

        It says in the product description

        Free 3 Xbox360 Live Gold 3 Month Subscription Card when you purchase the Xbox 360 250GB Kinect Console (YG5439).

        So I doubt they will honour it.

  • kosh52 on 20/03/2012 - 22:24

    i just purchased the carnival games bundle (im assuming game + 3mnths xbox live gold?) online. It said sold out online but i did a store pickup at southland (one of the last stores to have stock) and my order went through, giving me a confirmation email with order number. So im hoping I will get this. Sort of regretting not giving my mobile number though because it says they text you when the order is ready to be picked up. Also it charged me 1 cent since its a store pickup which means i basically got this for nothing.

    seems too good to be true…
