Diablo 3 is in this week's catalogue (starting Thursday) at Big W for $58. $1 cheaper than Dick Smith.

Most stores got the stock in today (only about 20 copies at my local store – under embargo) and will be selling them tomorrow for the $58 price (despite the catalogue not starting til Thursday).

Cheaper than Dick Smith, JB, Game and EB Games.

Mod: Link directly to the product.

      I was kidding people! I hate EB as much (or more!) as anyone else :)

      It was mainly just to show the rip off price of being $30 extra

          It was obvious he was being sarcastic to anyone who can read.

          If you need a tag you aint doing it right.

          Actually, no - it wasn't obvious he was being sarcastic, Poxy. Sarcasm is more often than not lost in text because there is no well known way to denote it in written form. It is especially difficult when your audience is a bunch of people that don't know you, and your sense of humour, personally. This is why people have suggested over the years (as in, over the last half-millennium) punctuation like the irony mark or percontation point. I am pretty well versed in reading, but did not take that as sarcastic. Though it may just be that my literacy is no match for your incredibly superior brain.

      They're shutting down because they weren't competitive enough.
      You expect people to hand money to businesses that choose to rip off their customers, just so they won't go into administration?

      Ridiculous.

    • ozhunter on 14/05/2012 - 19:41
      +67

      They probably only have 1 copy available, and it will take 1 month to get it delivered.

      • virtualds on 14/05/2012 - 19:43

        lol….true

      • machej on 14/05/2012 - 19:54
        +4

        Be a bit more realistic, they will probably have 2 copies but the staff already bought those copies and the website will simply overload and you'll get to see the resented "sold out" image. (It's ridiculous they can do this even though they got 500+ likes which probably means more then 500 purchases would happen)

        • scud70 on 14/05/2012 - 21:18

          Its not ridiculous if they have 500 people visit there site and without having to give away below cost products :-) it is the most pointless "sale" I've ever seen… I would believe they have 0 stock and the server crashes are part of the cover to make it look like they actually have something…. lol

      • Peepers on 14/05/2012 - 21:40

        And shipping will be $84.

          Yep, a dollar for every day it takes them to process the order & eventually ship it to you! :p

    we can price match bigw price in jb hifi, so i can save petrol and time not to rush into local bigw.

  • kickmiass on 14/05/2012 - 19:54

    Confusing description… is big W selling D3 tomorrow? the release date? which is a Tuesday? or is it selling it o Thursday at $58

    if they are selling D3 tomorrow, il buy it tomorrow if its a decent price..

    • Associatedplexor @ BIG W on 14/05/2012 - 20:00
      +2

      Tomorrow. Like the description says.

  • Scratch2k on 14/05/2012 - 20:01

    20 copies in stock?? Is that some sort of joke? I suppose if nothing else it will force DSE/JB/EB to lower their price on release.

  • Associatedplexor @ BIG W on 14/05/2012 - 20:05

    Big W generally don't sell a lot of PC games besides Sims, and never get enough adequate stock… I remember when Battlefield 3 came out they got about 100 copies of both the Xbox and PS3 versions, but 5 of the PC version…

    • moo on 14/05/2012 - 20:12

      Sounds like PC gaming isn't the core focus of BigW, though one must ask why bother at all with the 20 copies per store sale? It will probably generate more frustration amongst gamers. Food for thoughts, that's all.

      • fieldafar on 14/05/2012 - 20:49

        You could try a Big W at a regional area…

  • zerar on 14/05/2012 - 20:09

    20 copies…hahahahaahah…I live right near Brisbane CBD can you imagine how many people will be going to anywhere in the City that sells PC games tomorrow like BigW to pick up a copy. Good luck to you if you manage to get a copy though. I pre-ordered via battle net ages ago so it's already ready to go for tomorrow.

    And catch of the day is a bad joke like someone else said there site is hit with so much traffic it can rarely handle customers on good stuff. Every time I've wanted to buy something on one of there deals I've gotten server too busy messages. I'll pass on buying from them.

    If I had to buy a copy I would go Dicksmith Online for $1 more.

      It should be on the front page

  • Associatedplexor @ BIG W on 14/05/2012 - 20:18

    Not on the website yet. But it's definitely $58.

      Cause they're more than likely run by two different teams?

  • realwecan on 14/05/2012 - 21:14

    Anyone got the "shipped" email confirmation from DSE? Mine is still processing, and their website suggests 1-4 business day for metro area delivery. So I may even end up getting mine by next Monday?

    • lord henry on 14/05/2012 - 21:20

      The site said it would be shipped tomorrow.

      • realwecan on 14/05/2012 - 21:26

      I have also been struggling to find a D3 bargain. It's like there aren't any gamers on this site.

  • atlas on 14/05/2012 - 21:30

    Wondering if I should cancel my pre-order and attempt a local pickup…

    • illusionarybreeze on 14/05/2012 - 22:17

      Will it cost you more than a dollar to get to the nearest shop?

      • atlas on 14/05/2012 - 23:08
        +1

        Not unless you count the calories burned in my legs.

        But the point is my pre-delivery was with with Gamewave and they sent an email out saying that their stock, which is supposedly coming from the UK, will arrive between 15-17 May and then take another 1-3 days for local delivery. That is potentially a week after local release!

  • videoman on 15/05/2012 - 08:28

    Just installed the game and its not working yet :(

    I guess we have to wait until the 15th in the USA before we can play (tomorrow)?

    EDIT:

    Looks like if your battle.net account is registered in the USA then you have to wait until 12:01am PDT before you can play. Global Play, which will allow you to play on other server groups other than you're attached to, doesn't go online until 12:01am PDT as well.

    BigW had no stock till Thursday, this was at Macquarie Park. EB however price matched it, so either way it's a win!
