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.

I still can't believe the price JB have the MS steering wheel for. $10 more than some games at their RRP price. Nuts! Insanity! So on and so forth. icon_wink.gif

Also $84 for the Limited Edition of Forza 2 at JB as well? Sold.

Well the price for the steering wheel seems logical to me. JB always sold it for $20 under RRP and now until July 31 Microsoft have reduced the RRP price of it to $150. So it's just their normal pricing scheme for it.

What's the price for God of War II at JB? The price is missing on the list.
price added.

it doesn't say in the catalogue, but the "2 for $XX" items at Big W are also individually available for half $XX.

so there doesn't have to be 2 items you want to get the benefit.

It's not the fact that JB are selling it for $20 less than the (current) RRP that is the surprise. It's the whole idea of a steering wheel being only $10 more than some games. It's not just any steering wheel either, it's an official one and more importantly a decent one. That's what is surprising, well to me anyway. If you told me that I could buy a decent steering wheel for $130 at the start of the year, I would have told you that you're dreaming so yeah, this price is quite a surprise and a good one at that.

Dead Rising is $44 on sale now and K-Mart.

Saints Row has gone platinum so it is now $49.95 and probably cheaper at JB.
