Price matched with JB, they also have a promo that includes the steelbook with a pre-order
Really good deal considering you can also sell the steelbooks to get the cost even lower (I sold my Arceus steelbook for $40)
Correct, JB is the way! :D
They stopped.
JB said couldn’t price as different product.
Ordered, and immediately got a delayed email - I hope they mean delayed until November 18th haha.
Hope so too.
Get delay email as well
I got this email too, so I asked their online chat.
Hi there, my name is Jamie. Thank you for contacting us and I hope you are well. It still would be Available from the 18th November 2022. Just ignore the backorder, when pre orders are placed, that's just the status that it comes up as. But still looks fine for the 18th November 2022.
Thanks OP! I had JB price matched this, I don’t trust HN esp with their customer service. Was on the fence before but at this price, easy..
40th in queue for a JB price match. Not today Gerry ;)
84th hahaha…i see a virtual queue of ozbargainers this morning.
JB told me they don't price match pre-orders. :(
What did you guys say to have it matched?
I just said can they price match Harvey Norman and they just sent me a link to buy it. Maybe try get another agent
Thanks I'll try again
Don't bother, they are no longer price matching because theirs comes with a steelbook
@Kail: JB has the regular product too, no? https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/nintendo-switch-pokmon-sc…
@portard: See the "DON'T MISS OUT ON THESE!" section which says what they are including. Usual "we don't have to price match" BS.
Can someone provide me their order number? So i can price match?
If you get Dannie, they cant help
JB isn't matching anymore guys, cause it's not a like-for-like product
Just got the same response
I got the same reply, not considered the same since JB pre-order comes with the steelbook
was 68 in queue but left since they aren't price matching
I was 39th when I hopped into chat and waited just to get the copy pasted response. Seems like a lot of us are asking for a price match lol
Lol unlucky guys :((
RIP.
Hi
Thanks for reaching out to us today,
Unfortunately JBHIFI will not be price matching Harvey Norman's Pokemon Scarlet or Violet preorder pricing due to the products not being like for like.
Our unit comes with a bonus steelbook + an exclusive refreshment DLC which is not available with the Harvey Norman copy.If there is anything else I can assist you with today please let me know
It's over boys. Come on Amazon…
None in stock but ordered. Thing is Harvey's aren't good with communication and you might be waiting for ages (or forever) for the game to be ordered in.
It's a pre-order. The game isn't released until 18th Nov.
Do we know if they had a number of expected stock, and have run out of that? Or do they list all preorders as out of stock?
Personally for this price I don't mind if mine comes late in a second batch, as long as they don't cancel my order.
It originally showed green and backorder available when you choose a store. Now it is red and out of stock.
@Saltysez: The text was orange when I ordered, I see it's red now yeah. I'm guessing green meant their first batch of stock, orange meant delayed stock and red means no you aren't getting it? I guess we'll have to wait and see.
@Kail: Sorry it could've been orange, I'm just going by memory when I ordered. Orange could make more sense as it said backorder available.
Still 68 bucks in Amazon
Don't want to get from Gerry, pre ordered on Amazon and hoping they will price match by the end of the day.
I purchased the multi purpose master card from Coles yesterday at 7% off. Then I used this card bought a $100 Amazon gift card from ShopBack with 2% off. Then I used my Amazon credit to purchase $96 ultimate home gift card at 8% off. And JB Hi- Fi gave me a price match on both games. I finally spent $80.64 on both games. Although this is quite messy, I just hope JB Hi Fi won’t cancel my order now…
Big brain
Thanks for the summary.
Unbelievable both a bargain and Pokémon Master.
Where else can we pricematch? I don't wanna give Gerry my shekels
EB Games.
We gooo to eb
EB only price match on the day of release. They probably won't match as HN doesn't have steelbook, but you can always try.
Damn I wish they had this price for actual good games such as Bayo 3. Cue the wrath of poke fans
I have you a down vote lol
JB Direct sucks 😆

NO PRICE MATCH FOR YOU!
JB Hifi online would not price match.
"Hi jerjergege
Thanks for reaching out to us today,
Unfortunately JBHIFI will not be price matching Harvey Norman's Pokemon Scarlet or Violet preorder pricing due to the products not being like for like.

same
Man we to slow to price match at jb lol .
A nintendo switch game for only that price ? Espeically a pokemon game ????? What a deal LOL
Especially considering old Pokemon games still retail above that!
They are much better though lol
How do you know?
@ryzza22: Because the series has gone downhill since Pokemon X & Y (when they went 3D).
I much preferred the way the world was in the older games. Much more exploration in the overworked, caves, surfing etc.
Now it's all about the wild area.. Which for me is not as fun.
Even better considering $48 = ~$30 USD. Burgers are happy to pay $60 USD for a new game as standard price lol
Amazing price with the massive dive our dollar has taken in last few months. For what they are paying you could literally buy both versions if this deal comes off.
People here like to complain about $95 dollar PS5 games too but that is around $60 USD standard price over there now is $69.99 USD ~ $112 AUD.
$20 is all it took to buy people back to HN. Cheap!
More likely they will screw it up and people will hate them more than ever!
It probably cost gerry money. I'm cool with that.
I GEUSS WE BETTER BE QUICKER NEXT TIME TO PRICE MATCH THE JBHIFI…
Are you a fellow Pokemon enjoyer John?
Wasnt locked into purchase this one at launch but at this price i've not passed it up. Ordered Scarlet
Just received a delay notice
Me too, anyone know if this is standard practice on preorders or if it signals a delay in receiving it?
In order to know that we'd need to find someone who's preordered from HN before.
If such a mythological creature exists, I hope I dont meet it.Or do what I did and ask. I asked online chat. They said that's just how pre-orders are in their system. Check my earlier comment.
managed to price match JB by calling the store directly, Hurstville branch
Got pokemang violet. Can someone who got the other one trade pokemangs with me?
Sure. I'm ready when you are.
Great. Will be in touch when it comes out
I was gonna wait for the version exclusives but I had to pre order at this price
Not worth shopping at HN, I have higher standards than that.
My last experience with anything pre-ordered at Hardly Normal was atrocious.. 3 weeks before any communication, then a further few weeks for a refund, glad some people got in with JB price matching, but avoid HN at all costs if you can.
hmmm if pre-ordering kinda makes more sense to pay more get the one with steelbook yeh?
Steel books are so lame
Yeah steelbooks suck, just extra useless clutter
Thanks! Rather go through Amazon as I always seem to get it a day early.
Thanks. Will go with trusty Amazon instead. I've place an order with HN for store pick (and been charged on CC) 40 mins ago. Now wanting to cancel but dont think there's a simple cancel option when log in online…. now will have to contact their customer service =_=
Yeah only option I could find https://www.harveynorman.com.au/help-and-support/contact-us
Or give them a ring the old fashioned way.Not sure whether to go Amazon and try my luck or not bother. 40 minute drive on the day or 40 minute phone call? 😂
How to cancel order with Harvey Norman online?
Anybody could help?Jump on chat and tell them to cancel.
Thank you. Decided to order both Violet and Scarface from Amazon. Now have to call and cance the HN order cos delivery is FREE for Prime members.
Scarface
Say hello to my little Lechonk.
Amazon ftw
Cancelling through the live chat took about 20 minutes after they made me re-enter all of the information that is in my account and order:
This request will generally take 1-3 business days to be actioned. Once the request is accepted, please allow 2-5 business days for the funds to be deposited back via your original payment method. You'll also receive a credit memo in your email detailing the refund within 24-48 hours of the refund being actioned.
DO NOT ORDER FROM HV
These idiots have sent a mass confirmation email without BCC'ing people, instead CC'ing randoms.
dumb dumb rookie error
I replied to the email and scolded them, got a phone call about 10 minutes later from a very very sheepish girl apologising and saying she'll make sure it never happens again. Whoops! Not the best thing, especially with all the press around data security.
She did say it happened because of an error in the system though.
No, you just clicked the wrong button.
first, HN not HV that is our friend JV get offended.
second. what kind of email? cancellation ? confirmation ?The email said.
