The Usual specs:

tegra 3 quad core
android 4.0
Only 20 in stock for grand opening special on September 29th!
If this doesn't meet the "reasonable quantity's", feel free to delete.
Sure it's enough.
Even those bargain from HN or DSE they have more than 20 when they first being posted but still so many people complain and neg the deal.
That is what I mean 20 are not enough for ozbargainers.
Neg me doesn't matter, let see how many of you will neg this deal on 29 Sept.
haha its funny because you are probably right, there is always lots of angry ozb'ers that miss out. But its still a deal!
No negs yet??
Looks like the Asus Transformer TF300 - so that's a damn good bargain, especially since I bought mine for $550!
Very good Deal but only 20 of them!
So OZBargain meetup at RT Edwards Helensvale ?, How does this Saturday sound… ?
Will meet OZbargainers there, and then go to Harbor Town afterwards. A shopping Saturday!
Would someone please confirm the model to facilitate pricematching at Officeworks for those of us who are not in Qld but also like a good deal?
You can't get a pricematch interstate. Only works for a local competitor
With respect, JB has previously pricematched an interstate competitor's price.
Tempting … very tempting. I think I might ring my local JB & Good Guys in the morning to see if they can do a deal.
I wonder how long the queue will be?
I was successful in getting OW to price match with a JB store in QLD a couple of months ago.
I dont think you can pricematch for limited quantities like this.
This is Amazing! wish it was in driving distance.
Let the hunger games begin!!
LOL SPOT ON !
Let the odds be in MY favour
Can someone buy for me for a fee?
Your pm is off?
On now
I wonder how many units are going to be held for staff?
Model in title please - all the other unnecessary BS can be cut.
Wow, incredible price.
Having said that, at this quantity they will be out within a minute and this is only a tactic to get people in store. Surprised that this is encouraged on OzBargain, tbh.
can anyone post the receipt so that we could try to pricematch? Hopefully it might go through if we're lucky
Did you read? Only start on 29 Sept.
You'd be very lucky to get a price-match, IMO, since OfficeWorks have kinda been putting their foot down lately. Depends which cashier you get - luck of the draw, really.
I got some BS from Office works woolloongabba saying that the TF300 that JB and HN had is different from their model. hence they do not have to honour it. i call BS. Ive lost faith in OW since that lady, just say you had no stock instead of lying to me like that.
There are more upvotes than tablets for sale… some people are going to be disappointed.
Just wondering what newspaper this is in? Gold Coast Bulletin or Brissie paper? Today's?
I think it was yesterdays. Not sure about which paper the flyer was in as i found it on the lunchroom table.. Lol
If I lived close I would check it out but to drive 25 minutes and use my toll just to get there then find out I missed out. I'm sure these will go down to that price slowly…….for now I'm stuck with my HP Touchpad
After the 29th can someone please post receipt? I have to work on saturday but definitely want to try and pricematch at OW
i think i might rent it.
Found the catalogue. It was in yesterdays Gold Coast Bulletin as a catalogue not an advert in the paper.
Can we have the link please?
No links just a printed catalogue
When to OW today, the staff said he need to see the company name (RT Edwards Helensvale) on the picture to price match?
Anyone has a better picture of that catalogue?
Went to OW today, the staff said he need to see the company name (RT Edwards) on the picture to price match.
Anyone has a better picture of that catalogue?
Will they just price match? or BEAT the price? lol~
And which OW did you go to if it's not too much to ask~
Hope this is not a refurbished tablet. Kindly see the link, where it is again AUD 299 with free delivery

The link you've given is the TF100 model, the original transformer. I think this deal is for the TF300.
Just came back from Officeworks. They said they will definitely price match but only on Saturday (the day of the sale) AND if RT Edwards Helensvale have it in stock. Interesting enough they also mentioned that they became aware of the sale because of OZbargain. So looks like they do check this website.
They are selling only 20 at this price. They will run out quickly.
Officeworks opens at 8, pretty sure RT would open at 9 or 10 so just get in early if you want one.
which store is that? would be greatly appreciated if you could tell us~ ;)
Sharkfan can you please post up a full version of the catalogue??? It will be greatly appreciated :)
Try this.

Uploaded by camera. Not sure if it usable.
Tyvm but the link is not working for me :( is there an alternate link at all?
Already checked with another store they said they would price match it for their store stock if I bring in the catalogue even if it's printed.
Sorry stupid phone didnt copy the whole link. Here you go

ty sooooooo much!! <333333333333333333
Checked at underwood and lutwyche store they said they never do any price matching on specials like that only shelf prices.
I think the staff are confused and don't know their own policy~ On their website it clearly says they price match on sale items too.
Here is the officeworks price guarantee link
http://www.officeworks.com.au/retail/content/Lowest-Price-Gu…
can OW price match the item? coz,the ads is no mention the model number?
I will try my local OW tomorrow and post the receipt if I get lucky to get TF300 at this price.
Anyone getting the deal at RT, please (or pretty please) post the receipt.
Since you can never have too many receipts for price match so each one counts :)
Cheers
Highly doubt as they even refused to price match WD portable Hd from amazon when it clearly said in stock. With only 20 units they will definitely make an excuse that advertised item is out of stock.
The reason why they didn't price match the WD portable Hd is because the drive at amazon has a 2 year warranty and the one at OW is 3 years. If you read their Price match T&C it clearly states that they DON'T price match if it's "Non identical products and services (inclusive of non identical warranties)".
got mine. At OW will post it later. But OW said. When the 20is gone. They are not going to match it. Anyone want me to purchase for them. Hurry! I m on the 3rd of the Q!
Can you purchase one for me please please?
Now. I got two. Anyone want to buy from me? I m in GC
Could you please let me know how can I pay you money and how can I get it from you?
sent it to you when payment is clear, can we use paypal? i m not sure, coz, that is my first time selling stuff…
Lucky picking 2 up @ OW was limited to one per customer @ RT Edwards gone by the 21st person in the store. Lucky me was No. 18 though.
@Dannel / @Maniac au
Please post/upload the OW or RT receipts so we can go to the local OW for price match.
Thanks in advance
Dannel

Thanks OP and @Maniac au got mine from OW for $283.10 around 2PM today. Was the last one on display lol
Officeworks Croydon and Prospect SA would not beat that price :(
Same in NSW
Hi,
Does anyone got one to sale? I am in Logan area. OW refused as it was limited stock. So let me know if someone got one for sale.
Thanks
Bummer got a dud. Screen not clipped in right.
Hmm mine is also a dud. It is randomly crashing every 5 mins. Will be taking it back for a replacement.
Have you checked transformerforums.com for any tips
Take it that is without any other apps installed?
Yeah I've tried a doing all types of different boots, uninstalling apps and changing settings etc but nothing seems to work, really annoying. I'll just try my luck with a replacement.
Did you update to the latest firmware? I got firmware update notification as soon as I connected mine to Wifi.
Got mine swapped @ another store this morning, still charging up but I think it may also have issues.
I had mine on charging all night but strangley enough, it only charged the dock. I had to remove the tablet from the dock and charge it separately to turn it on. docked it afterwards and now its working fine.

My exchanged tablet is a dud again it was the other way round.
Docked it didn't charge at all. Charged the tablet separately was fine charged the dock okay. But when put together the touchscreen stops working and the keyboard doesn't work either locks the tablet up completely had to be reset with a pin in the left hand side.
However tablet works in my other dock spoke to Asus and pretty much confirmed faulty dock. So have to exchange it again tomorrow.
