    I really don't want to see RRP posts for 2-year old technology.

      • +13

        I didn’t know $674.10 was RRP. Which book are you reading from?

      • +6

        You haven't previously seen video cards, Nintendos etc posted all the time at RRP a while ago hey….

        • +4

          Yep, complaining about 2 year tech at RRP. but the switch still posted here after what 5+ years 🙄

        I've been browsing OzBargain for years, and joined to contribute a comment on my experience using a particular model of laptop (please see my first comment posted).

        Why did you join OzBargain? Was it solely to disparage people with no context, relevance, or background? What exactly do you contribute to the site apart from divisiveness and offence?

        • +3

          1611 deals and 439 competitions posted

          That's what I've done since joining

          Feel free to contribute positively to the site and then ppl might care about what you have to say to deal posters about the deals that they've posted to benefit others

          • -4

            @spackbace: I see that you don't restrict yourself to being helpful. You take a huge amount of pride in being disparaging and downright hostile towards new accounts.

            My experience of you is simply one of nastiness. It will take you a great deal of effort to impress me. I'm sure you don't care - which only underscores my opinion of you from your actions.

          • -4

            @spackbace: And let's be honest, this posting didn't help anybody. It was RRP for a 2-year old gaming system - which has been repeatedly demonstrated to be cheaper to obtain from Costo at below RRP.

            Maybe you don't understand the word "bargain". Which makes me wonder what those 1,611 "deals" you posted in the past were all about.

            • +2

              @[Deactivated]: No one cares what you have to say. All I am seeing is a troll out of dungeons. If you have a cheaper than $654 deal then let us see. You sound as relevant on this deal as the dirt in my toenail.

              • -2

                @Pricebeat: I had many upvotes for my comment about the irrelevancy of this post. That means many people do care what I have to say. Go, have a look at the upvotes for yourself.

                • +3

                  @[Deactivated]: Trolls caring about trolls doesn’t count. The ones who have upvoted yours, see how they have ended up on this post. Ran right away.

                  I don’t have to. I don’t post this for votes, otherwise I would have stopped long ago. But what I do love is putting trolls back in their place. Now go check how many times I have done that

            • +4

              @[Deactivated]: You can wonder all you want but all posts are clearly visible

              You say about me being negative, yet you jumped on a deal post to say you didn't wanna see it, how positive is that? Deal poster has gone to the effort to post, to show how the price can actually be brought down cheaper, and you thought ppl cared that you didn't wanna see the post

              Yet you bothered to click in, and then bothered to comment

              Yet I'm the negative one? 😂

              You are also yet to actually positively vote for any deal, to show support to the person who shared it

              Yeah well done champ, you might wanna take a good look in the mirror or gtfo

              • -1

                @spackbace: My posts are as clearly visible as yours. You'll notice I've only been helpful. In fact the comment you decided to deride here was heavily upvoted. Maybe you're just out of touch when it comes to distinguishing a good deal from bad.

                • +3

                  @[Deactivated]: Yep, totally helpful by letting everyone know what you don't like

                  All while never voting for deals you do actually like

                  Again, well done champ

                  • @spackbace: Oh, sorry, did I not do enough upvoting for you in the short time I've had this account registered?

                    On the one hand you don't like new accounts. On the other hand you expect an awful lot from new accounts. Want to achieve some consistency on your thoughts there?

    • +6

      WOW! just had to get in there quick on the hate?!?!

      Read the post, this is clearly about how to get it under RRP!!!

      And here's another idea maybe don't click on the posts that advertise at RRP. That way you don't have to see them…wow magic!

      • Yet the post complaining about the RRP on 2-year old tech was strongly upvoted. Maybe you don't like it, but a lot of other users did.

        Then @spackbace decided to deride the popular post with an attack on the account simply because it had been registered recently. That had to be nipped in the bud quickly because deriding new user accounts is hardly beneficial for the site.

        • +2

          Wow great logic, completely agree, should have applied this logic to the post in first place…

          "Maybe you don't like it, but a lot of other users did."

          And you are still avoiding the fact that it is under RRP so this invalidates your original comment.

          More so…

          "complaining about the RRP on 2-year old tech was strongly upvoted."

          Who would have gathered that complaining about something in this day and age would have garnered some support!!

          Clearly some people aren't reading the actual post.

          Also if its not for you why not just move on? Why stop by with your invalidated 2 cents no one asked for?

        • +2

          That had to be nipped in the bud quickly because deriding new user accounts is hardly beneficial for the site.

          No, there was no 'nipping in the bud', because any user, be they new or old, should know not to attack deal posters for no reason. The deal votes outweighing the votes on your comment prove that, and the votes brought the deal to the front page

          It's like trying to talk sense with a child here. It seems I probably am

            @spackbace:

            It's like trying to talk sense with a child here. It seems I probably am

            Ah, there it is. Everybody that isn't you is a child, right? How mature. Talk about sinking the black ball before the end of the game. I just won this whole conversation.

            • +2

              @[Deactivated]: The fact you think, and have to express, that you think you 'won' a conversation just proved everything 😂

              Well done champ

        My mistake, missed that initially.

        i'm actually asking a serious question. i bought this the other day at JB by walking in and I paid the same price. so where's the deal?

        • How much did you pay? As per description this is $674.10. Unless you got a cheaper deal that you negged this for? Then I would love to know where’s the deal?

    Waiting for pro model at this point. I bought a One X and it got barely a few years legit support.

    Have a PS5 for this Gen but will get a series X when gears 6 drops.

    • Keep waiting!

      • Yeah for sure. Nothing worth jumping in for if you already have a decent PC or PS5.

        • I'd imagine a PC would Trump an X pro also.
          I have a PC, switch and Xsx and probably play on the Xsx more just out of convenience.
          I have been thinking about a PS5 but there are only a few games that interest me, also the class action thing for faulty consoles kind of puts me off.

          • @Spendmore: I’ve actually never heard of it until you mentioned it. Just looked it up.

            You mean this

            “If the suit is founded in truth, it means a large portion of PS5 owners must suffer from this issue and Sony has not acted to solve it in any way. However, reports on the issue seem scarce, and while the PS5 suffered from stability issues around launch, a lot of problems were fixed with updates to the system software. Some specific games would also cause issues, but generally, such games also receive patches. For an issue to persist across so many updates that have fixed other problems would be exceedingly unlikely, but it is also possible that a more recent update introduced a problem” ?

            Seems like a non material issue at this stage.

            Non of my friends or myself have experienced any of the above.

            • @BusMan247: I haven't heard of it before this week but interested to see how it pans out, the only defect I heard of was incorrect sticker placement causing issues with the fan.

    Soo the bargain is gift cards which you then combine with RRP?!

    • +3

      We got a mr obvious here.

      Do you also go around saying?
      “So the deal is a coupon code which you then combine with RRP?!”

  • +1

    Ozb really needs a new category/tag called "Restock Reminder" or something.

  • +2

    I think it’s being called a deal because the console is not easily obtainable through normal means, similar to but less so than the PS5.

    Not sure why neg noobs keeping negging when they don’t seem to come up with their own deals.

    Pathetic really, so much excrement masquerading as human bots.

    • Not sure why neg noobs keeping negging when they don’t seem to come up with their own deals.

      It’s one way to look cool and relevant on Ozbargain

      • +2

        Pretty sure the only way to be cool and relevant is use bold text

        • JV, probably
    • The post clearly showed a financial benefit for buying the Xbox, not the availability of it.

  • -1

    Do the perk and gift card apply on for this specific Xbox? I can’t see this though on JB Hifi.
    If not, then it isn’t a deal for Xbox, as some stated just stock availability.

    • Did you even try?

      • Try to open the link to see the promotion or try to buy a tv to see if I will be sent a gift card?

  • -7

    I think I agree with others as I too don’t feel this belongs here because its not a discount on rrp.

      I feel someone with no contribution shouldn’t be telling what belongs here and what doesn’t

    Shite. It just went out of stock. Now I am trapped with my teen ultimate gift card :( Any Suggestions what to do ?

    • +2

      Call your local stores tomorrow. One of them may have stock

      • Sadly I bought the GC worth $729 ( had a $20 perks coupon which expires today). Do you know if the store would accept multiple payment modes?

        • +1

          Yeah definitely. You can pay $729 with gift card and rest with your debit/credit card

        • Listing is back up.

          • @Pricebeat: Thanks mate! But can't really buy them as the perks coupon expired yesterday and JB treats Ultimate gift card as a debit card. I can only use one card per purchase. Unfortunately there is no getting around this. Called JB today and it seems series X is online only and can't be bought from store. So basically as of now there is no way to use my GC and pay the remaining amount using another method of payment.

            • @ninohax: What others have done is to buy JB hifi gift cards with these cards and then use them online.

              • @Pricebeat: Finally purchased it following @hanofee advice :)

                And FYI if anyone is thinking of purchasing JB gift cards directly from them it took 20 minutes for the delivery of the digital gift card. So not really ideal if you need to make an immediate payment.

            • +2

              @ninohax: alternatively, u can buy $20 JB gift card (from Shopback or so), then apply it first to reduce it back to 729 before paying with your ultimate for that exact amount. no need to go to store

  • +4

    $734 at Costco Adelaide. There was a pallet full today

  • Couldn't every single item at JB be posted as a bargain by using gift cards?

    • Feel free?

      • That would be a waste of time and dilute the idea of what a bargain is.
        The bargain here seems to be a place with 10% off gift cards.
