1751

Was browsing through some cheap games on the DSE website and noticed this gem.

Looks to be click and collect only, but most store near me are showing stock.

    Damn nice price but no stock at any store near me :(

    starcraft 1 Battlechest is only $5 if you prefer BW-

    http://dicksmith.com.au/product/YG8765/pccd-starcraft-battle…

    • it says low stock for me. is it mean I can get it?

      • -1

        BW is much better then Starcraft 2.

        I wish they left Starcraft the way it was. There use to be so many players online now there hardly any.

      • You will need to contact the stores with low stock and ask them if they have it in stock—they may hold one for you if you ask.

  • +2

    thanks. pretty damn good price imo.

  • Beenleigh and Mermaid Beach (low) Gold Coast have stock.

    Edit: All gone.

  • Pretty nice deal, but I'm sadly not in Aus to go get myself a copy.

  • WOW, wasn't this just $60 like 3 months ago!??

    • +1

      I think i bought it on special when it was like $40 or so.. about 1 month after its release.

      Though i havent touched it for like 8 months.

  • +1

    Low Stock on Planet Earth.

  • +3

    I love hearing: "Carrier has arrived"

    I hate hearing: "Nuclear launch detected"

    :)

    • You should play BW then.

      • rarely anyone builds carriers in sc2. close to useless.

    • -1

      I hate hearing: "Nuclear launch detected"

      Spawn more overlords. Problem solved.

      • theblacksheepwall

        • My life for Aiur.

  • +2

    no more stock, lucky managed to get 1 from the closest dse, thanks OP

  • Cheapest price ive ever seen for this game! No stock near me though :(

  • I've waiting awhile now for a sale on this..
    Too bad there isn't any stock at all near me :(

    If it says 'low stock' what are the chances that I'll get a copy

    • Give them a call and get them to check.

      • I would but it's New Years Day so the store is closed.
        Ah well..

  • My local store had stock, but got distracted by TV. Now showing as low stock :(

  • +5

    This is sort of a dupe of this isn't it ?
    http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/89642

    • Yes dupe,Even though this deal deserve its own post.

    • +1

      Yeah, but to be fair when I posted this deal, Starcraft 2 wasn't listed as a part of the other deal yet.

      I thought this was so cheap that deserved its own page.

      • +1

        That's why I added to the existing post. We have another individual post for Super Mario 3D Land as well.

  • good price!

  • Is this SEA or US?

    • +1

      It's the SEA version but you can change it to the US version for free when you register with battle.net. Blizzard chose not to region lock for the AU/NZ folks. :)

      If you're into multiplayer, the SEA region is not as active as the US version.

  • I just put through my Click and Collect order - for some reason the total price jumped to $14.95, even though my item total is still $10. This happen to anyone else?

    • +13

      It's $14.95 for professionals, $10 for the general public

      • What exactly does it make me a professional in? I'm not sure I want the job.

        • +3

          ask Gerry Harvey, he's the expert on this topic.

        • +2

          If you're Korean, you're automatically a professional.

  • all out of stock near me

  • +3

    If somebody got starcraftII, please pm me. I am in Melbourne. I am willing to pay 15 bucks.

    • +5

      Why neg him for asking that?

        • +3

          He might be willing to pick it up from somewhere? Or someone could just sell him the CD key?

        • +2

          you can be cheap, but that's reaching borderline douchery

    • +1

      Plus vote to try and even up the unfair neg votes.

      He didnt say "delivered for $15". He's willing to pay $15, and no doubt arrange to pick it up or something (hence the mention of Melbourne).

    • +1

      I thought him offering $15 would be well received, what is up with this.

      • What can I say? I'm a professional. :P

  • +3

    Already own this but I'm tempted to buy another one just for giggles. The curse of oz bargain.

  • Nice! Will go great with…you guessed it, HotS. :D
    11wks to go…

  • Ok, well Innaloo, Perth CBD, Morley, Mirrabooka all out of stock. Good deal to any who can get it.

  • +1

    Nice find. However StarCraft 2 was somewhat underwhelming. It didn't last long before I have it left to dust on the selves. played a few weeks that's it.

    It's nowhere as good as SC1 and Broodwar.

    Paid $77 at release. Didn't think it was worth it =/

    Should have waited for $10

    • I have stock near me. Contemplating buying this.

      Was a big fan of original and BW. Played it all through high school.

      What exactly is underwhelming about the newer installment? And there's an expansion coming soon too?

      • +1

        Dunno about everyone else, I just found the story really boring.. Original SC, and it's expac were heaps better.

        • +1

          The mission design where you could play the missions and their branches in any order you want put limitations on how the story could be told. It couldn't be a linear serialized story because that would require things happen in order. So most of the missions and developments are just small side plots.

          Still the mission design was great and lots of fun. As was the customization of units and research.

          I thought the game was well worth it. Story wasn't great but missions were fun, units were fun. Each map had some unique hook to it.

        • +1

          I found the storyline to be ok, but I pretty much got it for multiplayer. Which I am still playing now

  • +1

    awesome! good find op

  • Gears of War 3 $20 good deal!

  • +2

    bought 1. opened box hope cd key not used by anyone else. Thanks OP

    • Yeah, someone mentioned that above. When I posted this deal, Starcraft 2 wasn't listed in the other deal.

  • +2

    abit greedy there mate.

  • Is this steamworks?

    • +3

      No Blizzard games activate on steam

  • +4

    this game also includes virginity protection, because you will never lose it

    • -1

      What if you already lost it, what will it do for you now?

  • +1

    I purchased the last on at Fountain Gate Vic
    http://imgur.com/mg5TU

    Display Box and all!

  • -4

    I couldn't find any stock in South-Eastern Victoria. Would JB (or Kmart etc) price match this offer?

    • I highly doubt it because this is clearance stock.
      Doesn't hurt to try though

      • I give up…I tried an EB Games but they were out of stock.

        • Because you were too slow means its a bad deal??

  • Picked up last copy at Erina, NSW

  • +1

    No stock at Doncaster nor Nunawading… sigh just not meant to be… :(

  • +1

    Picked the last from Glendale NSW. The tag shows 49.90 but when I told him about the discrepancy between online price and store price, he double checked and found that it was only AUD10. Even the store rep was surprised.

  • Sorry if you had some sort of scheme going on in Canberra (city store). I went in there and noticed there was 1 still on the shelves which I got.

  • +3

    $10 for StarCraft II

    well, it's about time….

  • No stocks in north shore Sydney, but thanks for sharing that. Actually I already have an access to East-Asian server (for Korea & Taiwan) but thought it was a good chance to get another one on U.S server. I hope I can get a chance to transfer my account into the US server because it's too laggy to play on East-Asian server in Australia. BUT- I know it won't happen because I know what will happen in the US server if it's allowed.

  • Grabbed the last one from the Toombul, Brisbane store. Thank god I decided to go the the gym early today (the gym is 20m from DSE).

  • Just grabbed the last one at golden grove village(SA). Great helpful staff.

  • I got owned, no game or key inside. Not worth the trip back to return either. Spewing!

    • Classic DSE, call them up and complain.

    • I picked up mine today was open box on display, the guy forgot to put the content in until I told him. Was a bit worried because of open box, but successfully registered the key on battle.net, so all good for $10,

      • I reckon I got the display box, they forgot to put the game inside. Had all the other crap and somehow I missed the seal when checking - I was in a rush :(

        • So basically for $10 you bought a box, notepad & some 7day trial keys…

        • -2

          If you got the product key, you can download the installer from Battle.net. But I am guessing the product key is on the DVD sleeve.

        • spot on grab_ur_freebies and yes mythbror the cd key is on the sleeve (that is not present)

  • Picked up one at Leichardt NSW. Was told there is one left.

    i'm trying to post what i believe is bargain, it's a logitech g110 gaming keyboard from dicksmith but the domain dicksmith.com.au is banned at the moment. anyway this keyboard was advertised as clearance of 40% off at $53.96 (before new year) so i did a click and collect but didn't realize reservation is only valid for 24 hours and i was out of town the next day for the new year's eve party so i missed out on it. checked it again last night and found that it's only $40! so i ordered it again and was able to pick it up today, got told it's $80 normally. I also checked officewors and it's $69 there, so i think this is really a good deal. By the way i'm not a gamer so i'm not sure if this is a good keyboard, only bought it as a late xmas present for my nephew. cheers

    • thanks dude, ordered one from my closest dick smith.

    • Excellent price, I bought that price second hand, Only strange thing I found was when playing you can't use more than 2+ arrows at a time, Not sure how to disable it either but it's great cause you can change the lighting of the keys and the strength of the light. Looks great just don't put the bottom bit on.

  • Just got the last one from Midland Gate S/C in WA. It was the display one, but happy to have this game finally. Thanks, OP!

  • -1

    I picked up the last two from Rhodes today.

  • Picked up last one at Karingal

  • Picked up the last display copy at my local, and looks to be the last one in the state! Thanks OP

  • +2

    Was able to get EB to price match by showing them the website.

    • holy shit are you serious?
      might have to try this @_@

  • finally started to install the game but i am not able to sign up to battle.net. anyone having issue?

    • The install and sign up was really painful!

      • lol you just make a battle.net account and add the game to your account (enter the CD key). What did you try and do?

        • Just a long wait for it to install and download all the updates. Followed by not being able to reset my battle.net password which hasn't been used for 11 years so had to make a new account. Then registered the CD key but it still wasn't registered within the game for about 5 minutes. Enjoying the game now.

        • Exact same problem, ended up making a new battle net account

  • Expired?

    Can't find this on their site??

  • eh i was going to pickup my starcraft 1 copy but cbfed
    and they put it back on the shelf but it looks like they dont even sell it anymore
    Can just buy the key online and register with the account anyway and saves having the annoying physical disc
