It’s Gerry, I know, but it comes with 10% back in HN gift card. Good if you don’t want to go everywhere to Colesworth to scavenge for gift cards
Bonus Gift Card will expire 1 month from the date of issue.

Wait you got your card already?
Liar liar pants on fire
Thanks OP - thought I’d try my luck at JBhifi
I technically scored each switch 2 for $556.8
Walked into my local JBhifi and managed obtain a price match of the HN deal through the lady manager. I just had to show some skin & flex my muscles a lil lol ;)
I paid with the 20x reward gift card that currently on at Woolies I obtained nearby after the negotiation
basically each switch 2 was matched to the HN deal $696 + 10% in JBhifi gift card ($69.60) plus return of $69.60 in EDR points (20x $696 in TCN gift card) resulting in a saving of $139.2
$696 - $139.2 = $556.80 each (down from $696) per standard switch 2
I’m happy with this deal per the non MKW switch 2 bundle
Plus $70 in rewards points for each switch 2 at Woolies
I got away with this deal I guess because of the 5x switches 2 lol
Even more big brain move is to purchase under different order so you can use the 10% gift card from first order on second order haha
That’s right - scored 5x gift cards each $69.6 (each as a seperate transaction)
Cards are issued on switch 2 pickup on release date though. Will be useful for other stuff like games etc on the day
Not bad but I still think the good guys deal was better. Side note, why do you need 5? Lol
now thats ozbargaining!
Any chance you could upload a JB receipt so I can try my luck at my local? Cheers legend!
Thanks mate
I’m hesitant to share the receipt as it is for an item yet to be picked up. I hope that’s understandable
I had no success to get the deal via online chat but had luck instore. The fellow ozbargainer who did it first inspired me to chase the deal as well. (Thanks @JKH25)
I was excited about the prospect of playing my huge library of Switch 1 games on Switch 2, imagining all the free resolution and framerate upgrades that could so easily be enable in backwards compat mode, but instead they are wanting $20 to $30 per game for an upgrade fee, while a handful of games offer free upgrades of varying usefulness.
I guess Microsoft has spoiled me with their free upgrades for their back catalog over the years.
My understanding is that most your library will play on the switch 2, but you pay to get those resolution and framerate upgrades, or some other things. Personally I think I'm satisfied not having those upgrades as long as I can play my library
Dont buy a PS5 then you will be shocked.
JBHifi refused to price match this deal via chat
same :(
same
Likewise but I had a feeling I’ll be luckier instore. (I was)
I just asked JBHifi, they refused to adjust the price offered.
I've called almost every store in Perth region and no one was willing to do it :(
Done! Cheers OP!
For online click and collect order, does anyone know if the gift card comes in an email straight away?
comes in an email a couple hours after collecting the full order
Are these preorders real reserving stock? I'd switch my 50$ eb deposit to this. If I could actually pickup stock day 1 ish.
I would do this too if I pickup will be available on the day 1.
An associate commented that stock outweigh orders. Seems like a common thing in Australia in all retailers. I'm gonna move my preorder over.
yep, our store definitely is receiving more than preordered
@HardlyNormal: My order says backordered currently, is this normal for pre orders? Will the console be ready for pick up on the release day? Cheers!
@Azza000: yep, this is a generic backorder message. you can call the store to see if you will get it on launch for assurance if you want!
Will be using 10% gift card to heavily discount the pro controller. No brainer.
Got a notification saying my order was delayed? I'm assuming it's because it's a pre-order and not a situation where I can't pick it up in 2 weeks…
Yep, generic message
Sweet as. Thought so, but the wording was a bit confusing. Cheers for the clarification.
Any purchases made after now aren’t guaranteed launch day, i’d recommend to contact the store you are buying from to make sure they can support it on launch day. Stores now have exact amounts they are receiving expected for launch so we should be able to see when you would get it
Thanks, called my local and they said they’ll have stock for launch day if I was to order now so I’ve just put one in now.
Tried to place an order 4 times and it keeps getting cancelled :(
try different payment method
No luck, missed out I guess
I just ordered the console and Mario Kart separately totalling $814. I used $800 gift cards (3% off with BUPA) and paid $14 balance with PayPal. The confirmation email doesn't mention the gift card and has the total paid as $14. Now I'm thinking maybe the 10% back in GC will only be for the $14 and won't include the amount paid in gift cards. Does anyone know if this is the case? I've checked T&C and there is no mention that gift cards don't count towards the 10% back.
I've also ordered last minute paid gift cards and $500 CC got confirmation Fri 23 May, 23:59 with red txt stating "Bonus 10% in Gift Cards when you spend $500 or more* Ends 11:59PM AEST 23/5/25 ".
Will see what happens at pickup if 10% back HN GC will be supplied
I got the email "Payment authorisation for order was not successful." Charged my CC, consumed my giftcards too and will be reversed in 3-5 business days, rip rip
gift cards 100% count towards the bonus 10% gift card offer
Awesome, thanks Hardly. It just wouldn't have been the first time Gerry misled the people that's all.
Is there a reason why you didn't order the bundle?
Is 10% back in HN gift card expired with the purchase ?
Oh no the deal's ended. Anyone know when the deal will be back?
maybe close to eofy, but definitely not before launch
The legend at my local HN did it for $750. I then used the 75 back to purchase Nintendo eshop credits.
