FYI, The Good Guys price matched Sony Store, almost. $2030 delivered in Perth. Worth the extra small cost to get it locally IMHO.

Zackeroo on Don't ask why, but I need the CHEAPEST 40" Smart TV with a good design (fairly thin bezels)

Yes, but some devices need 1.5v or they won't work.

I wouldn't chance it but I think all alkaline cells will leak given enough time, but from my experience Duracell are maybe the worst.

zombrex on Flyhal FC600 Two Batteries RTR 1/16 2.4G 4WD 60km/h Brushless RC Car US$79.10 (~A$110) CN Stock Delivered @ Banggood

Yes but it'd be top heavy. Be careful not to roll the car on a hard surface and damage the camera. Been there, done that.

Damn, just bought this a couple of days ago after looking at it for weeks. Why does this always happen?

I just got one from the Joondalup W.A. store. Looks like they've restocked. There were another 4 left.
