Feel free to move this to competitions if you need.

Basically, if you call 1800 ELITE5 (1800 354 835), between 8:00am and 08:00 pm AEST on either Thursday or Friday, you can follow the prompts to receive a special code that can be redeemed at EB Games stores around Australia for a free copy of Sniper Elite 5. It appears that copies are scattered at random locations throughout Australia, but no doubt they’ll go quickly with all copies to be snapped up by Monday.

    I get Line Busy and then it hangs up. Anybody else?

      Of course. They're not renting a 500 line SIP system for this.

      Yep got line busy 25 times, then finally got through to actually ringing, and then it just rings for a minute and hangs up

        You rang 25 times? Geez

        Take a hint.

          according to his twitter, OP rang though 56 times to snag his copy lol

    Will I get a free call back quoting how to save money on energy?

    • Muscles on 26/05/2022 - 09:41

      Perhaps a Nigerian prince that has millions of dollars to transfer out of the country? You could be that lucky person!

      Do you though? Can trade the physical copy in once finished. Can you do that with game pass? ;)

        Why did I get negged? I thought it was a clever response!

          Only the xbox fanboys negged you. I'll probably also get negged for saying that lol

        i got my 2x24 months gamepass for free, so i guess i am still wining. yes it's free, not at a low turkey price.
        anyway, this is not my type of game, even it's there, i wouldn't even try it. there is always people mention gamepass, i would like to be that one this time. lol that would be fun.
        by the way i didn't neg you.

        • jollyrogga on 26/05/2022 - 11:47

          Nice one! You win. Well played mate.

      • netsurfer on 26/05/2022 - 12:28

        Is it more fun to play with physical copy where you have to install the disc? Anyone who managed to get a copy AND has access to GamePass will most likely play via GamePass.

  • shancake on 26/05/2022 - 09:49

    Congrats on getting a copy mate! Love to see an activation actually coming together.

    • jollyrogga on 26/05/2022 - 09:53

      Thank you Shannon! Really appreciate that article otherwise we wouldn't have known!

      • Thrift on 26/05/2022 - 10:00

        You don't work at EB Games? Or is that just some random dude in your Twitter profile pic wearing an EB Games sales t-shirt in an EB Games store?

          I don't. I purchased the shirt for EB Games Starlight Foundation cause last year. I'm just a fan boy haha!

      Well done soldier

    • FDA2021 on 26/05/2022 - 10:12

      So what happens, do you connect to an actual person or is it a robot reading out a code?

      • Rel81 on 26/05/2022 - 10:17
        +3

        Its a person. They take your details then ask where your postcode so they can point you to an EB store

  • brawndo on 26/05/2022 - 09:53

    Curious to know what your thinking was around posting this as a deal and not a comp.

    • jollyrogga on 26/05/2022 - 09:53

      I figured it would get more traction as a deal and then leave the ozbargain mods to decide

  • justtoreply on 26/05/2022 - 10:10

    Connects then rings out rather than hearing an automated system

    • jollyrogga on 26/05/2022 - 10:24

      Just keep trying mate! I got my copy after 56 attempts.

        Spoke with a person who took my name and postcode. She then told me a code word and said to go to an EB games close to me and say the code. The person at EB then took my name and gave me my copy

    • jollyrogga on 26/05/2022 - 10:24

      You're welcome soldier

    Seems like it's only for consoles and not PCs :(

    • jollyrogga on 26/05/2022 - 10:33

      Correct. XB1/XSX, PS4 and PS5. Let me update the post.

    • dinofreak on 26/05/2022 - 12:26

      That sucks but I guess it would have been worse if I got a free copy that I couldn't play.

  • Cheapsize on 26/05/2022 - 10:34

    Keep getting line busy. Maybe it's done for today haha

  • DoorMatt on 26/05/2022 - 10:35

    Keep getting line busy, then it rings 2 times, hangs up then I eventually get a longer ring then after a minute it hangs up. Starting to give up tbh

    • DoorMatt on 26/05/2022 - 10:45

      Called, got connected was asked to give my postcode, started to. Got the call hung up on me on the other end…

        Jesus, thats rough…

        I've called a whole heap of times now, and have heard the longer ring only three times.

        • DoorMatt on 26/05/2022 - 10:52

          I don't event think it was the person who was speaking to me because he got cut off mid sentence

  • anfm on 26/05/2022 - 11:18

    if you feel like going to Nowra for NSW EB games that's the only copies left. As he was about to give me the code the call got ended for some reason. tried 85 times to that number.

  • justtoreply on 26/05/2022 - 11:21

    121 tries then i hear it's a generic code?

    I'm in isolation ffs! Generic code will do me no good!

    • jollyrogga on 26/05/2022 - 11:33

      Generic code yes but they take your first and last name. I also got my ID checked too and they linked it with my EB World account.

  • stevo82 on 26/05/2022 - 11:25

    Apparently they only have 100 copies according to an advertisement for this competition this my be why keep getting busy signal

    • jollyrogga on 26/05/2022 - 11:32

      Can you link us to the advertisement? I only saw the Press Start post!

  • DemocracyManifest on 26/05/2022 - 11:28

    Reminded me of that Nathan For You episode with the fuel rebate.

  • Siuto on 26/05/2022 - 12:13

    I've gotten through but was cut off mid conversation when they were asking for my postcode!

            @Schmatt: You helped other people. People like me who decided not to compete with other OZBers on this one. Also, help people who are still trying to get through from wasting more time.

            There is something positive out of it. +1 from me. Also, just play it on GamePass.

      • jollyrogga on 26/05/2022 - 13:32

        • netsurfer on 26/05/2022 - 13:45

    • Smigit on 26/05/2022 - 17:44

      You think people sat there dialing a phone number to grab a code knowing they couldn’t get to EB to redeem it?

  • Krondorf on 28/05/2022 - 21:41

    So was 'tripwire' everyone elses code word?

    Probably sell or swap mine for something else though
