    Cheers OP, ordered both.

    Tried price matching at JB, but no luck. Not the end of the world though, still great bargains.

    Now I need a switch, any good deals for the oled model?

      Doesn't seem to be great deals at the moment. The Coles gift Mastercards are 10% off (e.g. $250 card for $231.30 including activation fee). You may need to buy gift cards somewhere with it to use multiple, doesn't always work online for gift cards, but should in store.

      If you use those it would reduce the price a bit, but the best offers are when there's a good ebay coupon than works on Big W or a Big W sale on the OLED combined with an okay ebay coupon. If you're really lucky a Big W sale combined with a good ebay coupon would be the dream.

      There also may be various deals around for Black Friday next month.

    • tallkid123 on 21/10/2022 - 10:07

      Do have any old consoles like a PS4? EB Games is doing a decent trade in offer until Halloween. Someone posted the deal in the gaming section about 2 weeks ago.

    Tried matching JB for a friend with Amazon link, but got copy and paste answer with Harvey Norman version is not steelbook.. Could at least update the wording to Amazon, lol.

    • dbmitch on 21/10/2022 - 14:32

      JB won't match HN? They literally won't match their rival electronics brick-and-mortar shop??

      • CodeXD on 21/10/2022 - 14:35

        JB is giving out bonus steelbook for pre-orders, which neither Amazon or HN is doing.

        • dbmitch on 21/10/2022 - 14:42

          well, if $20+ is worth steel to you, then might have to bite the bullet.

          Not sure about historical prices for these editions vs regular box copies on the collectors market, but it seems based on a few mins of searching, people just want the games

            @dbmitch: Definitely not worth the extra money, but free bonus is always a plus.

    Chatted with HN to cancel my preorder for Violet. Email received 1 hr later with confirmation of cancellation.

    Pre-ordered from Amazon now :)

    Oof… First early review is not good.

    Performance is pretty bad apparently.

    Not surprising with how the other recent games are.

    • Miss B on 23/10/2022 - 00:10

      I wasn't that interested, was mostly getting it because of the price. I'll probably just cancel I think, but I'll see how I'm feeling closer to the release date.

  • db87 on 22/10/2022 - 23:54

    My first Pokemon game since the OG back on Gameboy. Looking forward to playing with my daughter now, I went with Violet as that's her favourite colour and well, motorcycle Pokemon. Gotta catch 'em all!

        Haha nope, but that's ok. Just walking around My Little Pony keeps the kids happy so actual gameplay can be forgiven. For ~$50 it's cheap thrills entering in to something they don't know any better of.

    • Brakus on 30/10/2022 - 18:48

      Funny that we’re in the same boat. First pokemon game after gameboy red and yellow. Hope my kid will like this one

    Am I the only one who misses the old 2d versions of Pokémon before they made this 3d graphics crap?

    • Circly on 23/10/2022 - 13:24
      +1

      Nope… The 3d ones arguably look worse and more one dimensional in world design.

      Much easier too.

    I just preordered and it applied a $20 promotion - it came down to $28. No idea what promotion that is and how it got applied. Mystery!

  • OzBoganYeah on 26/10/2022 - 16:13

    Does preordering from amazon include the special pikachu holding the balloons? If not, which retailer has the offer available?

        Mines still showing 18th, but I just tried their support to see when it's shipping and the agent was adamant it won't ship until the 18th

          Mine tomorrow by 8PM

            @based: Lucky you, when did you buy the game? I hesitated and did some research to see if I wanted the new game and then looked into each exclusive.

            Pokemon Violet ordered Oct 21.

            Still hasn't shipped for me. Looks like I'll get it monday then…

            • based on 17/11/2022 - 13:37

    • Oceadge on 18/11/2022 - 10:33

      Mine hasn't been shipped yet either.
      I never get pre-ordered games on launch day any more from Amazon. I don't get it… I ordered something from Amazon a couple of weeks ago and it was delivered the following day. Why can't they ship pre-ordered games to everyone on the day before launch day?

    • rlay3 on 18/11/2022 - 12:38

      Mine just arrived. Not shrink wrapped, and nothing else inside besides the game cartridge.

  • Ellimist22 on 17/11/2022 - 15:38

    Did anyone else who pre ordered before the price drop still get charged the higher price, despite the pre-order price guarantee?

      Would like to know if anyone receives it today

    • CodeXD on 18/11/2022 - 11:43

      That's rough… when did you buy it?

      Weird to have that date for preorder, looking at it now:

      FREE Prime delivery November 28 - December 13

  • BigRedPanda on 18/11/2022 - 12:00

    Delivery date updated to 16th of December… Ffs

    Took advantage of this deal, was stoked for delivery on day of release.

    Woke up to a email this morning from Amazon saying delivery wont be until the 15-18th of December… My daughter has been so psyched for this game sigh

  • karkassa on 18/11/2022 - 12:15

    Same here, updated to 16/12. Ridiculous for a pre-order. Does Amazon support provide any compensation coupons in those cases?

    • based on 18/11/2022 - 12:20
      +1

      Everyone posting that seems to be WA based, pretty poor form if they just forgot about Perth
      Amazon seems to be showing in stock for scarlet, are all the delayed ones violet?

    • apoc11 on 18/11/2022 - 12:25

      Same here. Just chatted with Amazon support and explained the inconvenience of being told of a 1 month delay on the day of delivery, even though the order was placed a month ago - defeats the whole purpose of pre-ordering, especially now that even HN doesn't have it on special.

      They offered a $10 promotional credit as an exception, but were able to increase that to $20 as I asked to escalate to manager/team leader. ymmv
      Just checked my account and $20 credit shows up in the checkout.

      • Richy on 18/11/2022 - 14:04

        Same delay with mine. Though I've contacted support now and all they did is now charge my credit card and said it will arrive in 3-7 business days…. The audacity. No credit whatsoever, even after asking for some compensation. Think i'll just cancel it…

        **Update, in the end I said I would cancel and was offered $5 credit. I said I would want it cancelled still and was put to another agent. That agent could not provide anything further and just cancelled the order anyway… Not great.

  • HS10 on 18/11/2022 - 12:21

    Tempted to just cancel my order.. but worried the date will change again

  • Kdw26488 on 18/11/2022 - 12:50

    Pre-ordered the dual pack in June to be told it won't come until December. Lol

    I too got $20 credit from Amazon chat.. do I just cancel my order now. Hmmm

    • based on 18/11/2022 - 13:18

      I guess if you value that credit at $20 you can still grab it from bricks and mortar today and it's essentially still $50

    I'm devastated. Hoped to play it on release. Mine still hasnt shipped yet. ETA next Wednesday, but I'm not holding my breath.

  • Gryllis on 19/11/2022 - 11:15

    Violet still says not shipped but is apparently arriving 21-22 Nov for me in SA. Was charged yesterday, but the charge has since disappeared today. Thanks, Amazon.

    Surprisingly i got it today.

  • Dingus on 21/11/2022 - 12:14

    Mine still hasn't shipped, says 21-22 Nov. Probably the last time I preorder from Amazon… even though it was cheap. At this point would rather pay a little more and get it on the day. I am in Canberra thought it would have got here before Perth but there ya go!

    • CodeXD on 21/11/2022 - 12:15

      From experience, you need to preorder super early to get it on release day so they can allocate stock accordingly. You are guaranteed the cheapest price from when you order til when it ships, and you can also cancel any time within that too if you end up changing your mind.

      My friend ordered on 20th Oct, received it on release day 18th Nov

      I ordered 21st Oct, received 20th Nov.

      • Dingus on 21/11/2022 - 12:25

        I get that, but with that example I ordered mine on October 20th too and no sign of shipping. They took the money for it on Friday so I assumed they would send it then at least but nothing.

        • CodeXD on 21/11/2022 - 12:31

          Mine was sent on Sat and Received Sun. 21-22 Nov means at latest you'll get it tomorrow.
