Australian Gaming Bargains - 25/10/07

PALGN Feature | A little quieter than usual.

Many retailers appear to be taking a break this week with notably no new bargains from Target or Big W and just a few specials on offer at Kmart. Don’t despair though, Myer and Dick Smith stores have started their new catalogues which will ease the pain slightly. We’d also like to remind Xbox 360 owners that JB Hi-Fi are offering the recently released Half-Life: Orange Box for the fetching price of just $79.

forgive me if I am wrong, but the price for the standalone guitar hero III seems to be more expensive than the bundle?

Joseph

It should be $69. Cheers for spotting that.

Dunno if it's just a screwup at my local store, but JB Perth had Folklore labelled as $79.

Joseph

Hmmm. In their catelouge, they've listed it as $94. Upbove it, MotorStorm is $79 and beside it, Conan is $79.

It suggests your local store has either messed up (which isn't a bad thing for consumers in this case), or they've started the new JB catelouge a bit ealier.

Can anyone confirm the $79 price tag at a second store?

EDITED:

Updated to include Wow Sight and Sound specials.

Two new Toys R Us catalogues, but one isnt working on their website yet.

JB will often lower their prices if another store has it at the cheaper price, so the $79 thing could be an individual store's price. I'll check my one this evening though.

The other one is likely for thier baby products. I actually went in there yesterday but they didn't have their new catalogues out yet. Thanks for the heads up.

The 1st and 3rd ones from the left are new today, but the 1st one still isnt linking to anything. Dont think the one that isnt working is for baby products. Look at the cover.

Ahh, okay. It looks like there's a PlayStation 2 console on the cover. Hard to make out though. I may go into Toys R Us tommorow to take advantage of the $10 discount voucher. I'll see if they have a carbon copy while I'm there.

The WOW Sight and Sound Xbox 360 Pro console for $449 is factory refurbished units only. Given the failure rate of 360s, it might be fine, but they are not brand new.

If they really are selling it that cheap, grab it is my advice.

Best PS3 game yet (released so far) imo. Nice to see it coming out nice and quickly after the U.S release, not something you see that often on PS3.
