Australian Gaming Bargains - 07/06/07

PALGN News | 2 for $40, $50, $60 and $80.
There’s a huge amount of bargains this week, so much so there’s not nearly enough room to list all the highlights in this small – and probably ignored – paragraph. Still, there’s several bundles including a very enticing PlayStation 3 pack at JB Hi-Fi which includes a console and 2 games for $1039 – arguable one of the best prices you can find for the system thus far. JB Hi-Fi have continued the dazzling specials with the newly released Mario Strikers Charged Football for only $69. The Pokemon phenomenon is making an increasing presence among retailer adverts with everyone now taking pre-orders for Diamond/Pearl and offering various bonuses. Also, please take note that Big W’s sale will last for two weeks and other than that, take a good look at the list as there’s something for everyone.

Mario Strikers Charged Football: $69 - You just cannot go past that.

I like the 'Sony Central' deals. They made me laugh. $999 for the console!!! Bargin!
4 years ago
That Strikers price should really help sell the game out too. Hopefully build a good starting Wifi community. I'll be grabbing mine in a few hours that's for sure.

Well next week I'll be picking up Condemned and Oblivion in the 2 for $80 deal and then 2 weeks later I'll pick up Shadowrun or Dead Rising from JB and then a few weeks after that I'll pick up Gears of War, Crackdown and the Gradius collection from EB.

My god I'm going to be broke for a while.
4 years ago
I think I'm gonna pick up that PS3 pack from JB, but I'm not too crash hot on F1 Championship. I'll have to see how much JB/EB will trade it in for.
4 years ago
That's a great price for Forza 2 Limited Edition from JB, will definately get my EB to price match the pre-order I have.

Bah, I wish I saw this earlier. I went to JB and they didn't have Strikers, so I got it at EB for $100. Oh well, I guess I'll return it and then rebuy it from JB icon_biggrin.gif

Is Big W still selling Chocobo Tales and EBA for 50 each?

If you are refering to an older list then it is unlikely as the sale would've ended by now.

As they've started a new sale it's fairly unlikely that their old sale is still going. Most likely it would have finished yesterday or maybe today.

You should get around $40 for it at JB, so it won't be so bad if you don't like it.

I think I'm gonna have to pick up Picross DS. Reading reviews it sounds like a fun little puzzle game and for 34.95 the price sure is right icon_biggrin.gif

Lol @ Myer $94 Shadowrun on Xbox 360. It's $69.95 RRP icon_annoyed.gif

Oh yeah Joseph might wanna chalk up that Harvey Norman Chatswood Chase are selling the PS3 for $899!! Cheapest i've seen!

JB HiFi's shares went up 88cents today.

Must be all the people buying Mario Strikers.

Far out, PS2 is far from over! - momentum is going to keep growing with this level of quality & discounting. Sony's got new games on tap, lots of buzz and good prices on the quality older stuff. Come on Nintendo pull your act together... Quick, someone whip that old donkey!

Wish there was a JB here.

I can honestly say this:

It's not a typo on PALGN's behalf, Myer really do have it advertised for $94. I was wondering why JB Hi-Fi were selling it heaps cheaper than Myer. icon_razz.gif

Looks like Harvey Norman have too many PS3s in stock.
