Just a heads up if anyone wants some cheap games/consoles

It looks like Dick Smith is holding a big clearance sale, getting rid of all their stock.

List of deals: http://www.ecogamer.com.au/dsearticle.html

Includes stuff like
-$40 PSP
-$20 DSi
-Gaming keyboards, mice
-$1 games
-$100 Xbox360
-$200 PS3

Begins on the 2nd of April, the sale is both online and in stores (begins 8am online)

I am slightly suspicious though. It seems a bit ~too~ cheap, especially since its the day after April Fool's.. But I will be on my computer at 8am on Monday, to see if I can snag myself a PSP

Wow seems good (if its not a prank lol)

Also I hope actual *good* games are on sale

 

[a c]

It's confirmed real on the dick smith facebook page

stocks will be limited (none) I assume.

 

[zombies]

Yeah, I was straight onto their FB page asking questions when I found out lolol (wanted to know if it was going to be online too).

But still.. how can they make any profit selling a DSi for $20?! Just seems so weird.

 

[mirakon]

It'll be gone before I get my hands on it then

Or I could just ask my mate who works at a dick smith to save something for me if that is allowed (probs not)

Also noone is buying dsi now cos of the 3ds so any sale of a dsi is a good sale otherwise it'll be wasted

 

[zombies]

Ah thats a fair point.

erg.. just realised my bus comes at 8.05am lol owell I will catch a later one Being a bit late to school is worth it if I can get some cheap stuff.

its 40$! and I figured I could hack it and download games or w/e and not worry about breaking it.

Nah just get some cheap ps3 games

Or a vita if they are cheaper too

 

[zombies]

I don't own a PS3 though. Just a PC. And vitas are like 350$

Well, 250$ + shipping if you import from america

Wat

U played assassins creed on pc

Lolwtf

Get a console then

$200 ps3 is a better deal than a$40 psp imo

 

[zombies]

Well. I played brohood and ac2 on my bro's ps3(cos of the freaking delay... ubisoft releasing PC games like 5months late just sucks) but I own them on PC (and AC1 and revelations) as well cos my little bro is a dick and he makes me pay him to use his ps3 lolol.

Plus whats wrong with AC on a computer?! I use a controller for it, I get nice graphics, can talk to my steam buddies at the same time etc etc.

PC > all consoles any day

Yes but consoles for exclusives u cant get on pc

Like for ps3 u can get gow3 and demon souls

 

[zombies]

^ Dark Soul's is being ported to PC though.

And besides, there's still tons of games to play on the PC. I'll live without a few exclusives!

Demons souls is not dark souls, it is a precursor that is a ps3 exclusive.

Yes but if a ps3 is cheap i'd get it

 

[zombies]

Derrrrr I'm not dumb. I'm saying that they're porting the sequel over.. which is good enough for me! I'd probably ragequit and give up after half an hour anyway.

200$ isn't cheap enough for me.. I could buy a gazillion pc games with that money

 

[mirakon]

Trust me dark souls is not *that* hard. Its difficult but with enough time anyone can finish it.

Its hard by modern game standards but on par with the average snes game imo in terms of difficulty

Fair enough, 200 isnt an easy investment by any means
