[Fredescu]

They bumped up all their prices on eBay by 20% or more lol

Which ones? PS4 and Vita seem the same.

Edit:
Oh wow, price histories:

Yup. Just extra profit in their pockets since eBay are the ones paying the 20%.

Greedy as fuck. They bumped some stuff up last time there was an eBay sale but nowhere near as much as this. Pretty much every item on their store has been bumped up this time.

I'll just wait for the next dicksmith.com.au sale.

Going to have to bookmark this I think, because I couldn't see a quick way to get to the page? Easy enough to get an item ID from the URL and put it at the end though.

A quick example:
http://offer.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBidsLogin&item=251506405568 (selling for $169)
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SENNHEISER-Momentum-On-Ear-Headphones-Black-/251506405568 (listed at $300)

Already brought up on OzBargain. Can't do much about it since it's Dick Smith changing the prices, not eBay.

If it was on Dick Smiths own website the ACCC could hit them up but since it's a 3rd party deal DSE can get away with it.

 

[Shaneus]

PS. Rep, reckon I'll get the steelbook *and* PS+ Driveclubs. Does OGS look like the cheapest to you for ye olde steelbook? Worth risking potential damage in getting it posted?

 

[dishwasherlove]

Thanks for your help last night with that Destiny strike Rep. I had almost enough vanguard points to buy some new gloves and bump me to level 27... But I opted for the legendary flaming armband. I think I made the right choice. I think Destiny will just be about logging in for an hour or so and doing the daily strike with a friend or two. Don't feel the need to grind now. No way I will be geared enough for the raid any time soon.

Also everyone with PS+ should grab that Capcom DnD brawler on PS3 this month. Classic games.

 

[r1chard]

Media Molecule are going to be at PAXAus.

One of my favourite devs of all time, and I have to give my ticket to someone else

 

[Rizzi]

Thanks! I intend to sink my teeth into the game on the weekend.

I'm really enjoying it. The combat is a lot like the Arkham Batman games, but you start out kinda squishy. Archers and spear throwers will fuck your shit up hard if you don't focus on them.

27's are fine for raiding. Group experience, communication and knowing what your specific role is exactly when and where it's needed are key.

well no PS+ for me this month I guess

Yeah, 27 is fine, as long as everyone knows what to do.

Helps to have a bunch of 28/29's in the team.

Hard raid is a different story. :/

If there are enough Ausgaffers over 26 we can do the raid tonight or on the weekend?

Let me know if you guys are up for it. With a good team we can finish it in 1 hour, but if it's your first time, expect 2-3 hours.

I should be able to raid tonight.

I was helping some new raiders last night and finished up right at Atheon, so I have a save point here to just knock him off Only trouble I've already finished the raid this week

Spoiler

No loot

My GT is the same as GAF name, Xbone.

 

[dishwasherlove]

I'm still level 26. I'll be around tonight for whatever. I think most people are playing on PS4.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Everyone else is on PS4 Ozzy, sorry.

I've done the normal raid too, and 1/3 of it on hard. Still fun to play with new players and it's probably the only thing in Destiny worth playing over and over again without any rewards.

 

[Darklord]

DSE being a bit cuntish, damn.

Their ebay store is HORRIBLY run. Just look at their negative feedback. They screwed my friends over when they sold them tablets then never sent them for weeks. They don't have items in stock but but still sell them and claim they do. They have zero communication as well.

Yep, GAF is very much a PS4 zone. It's alright I have a 10 year old clan that games together, almost all on X1

I want to raid but I'm stuck at 25. I never get any good items. ;_;

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

You should now, after the patch. Do the daily/weekly stuff, play vanguard tiger and you should be able to progress beyond 25 very soon.

 

[dishwasherlove]

Queen chest and helmet + vanguard class vendor boots and gloves is what pushed me out of the level 22-25 funk. Gotta grind vanguard rep to level 2 though.

 

[Darklord]

Oh cool. I just leveled up my cryptarch, got a legendary engram, and it's for a hunter. This game can get fucked.

Possibly, shouldn't get damaged on the way over.

It's like $15 more expensive at JB. Annoying they don't have a sale on at the moment :/

I wonder if that JB Music voucher thing will still be valid at launch? That would get you 20% off I think.

No probs! Had to run the daily solo as your mate was only level 20. Level 28 mission wouldn't have been fun!

I'll make sure to give them lots of hugs and tell them how awesome they are while you can't

I'm up for it. Just let me know when.

Currently swapping my stock PS4 HDD for a 2TB one. Taking ages to transfer all my capture videos to PC lol

Yup, effectively 2 separate companies. Insane trying to deal with their online support for the eBay store. Took me weeks to get my voucher they owed me.

In store is fantastic. A+ service. Online sales can be messy unless you know how to work it.

 

[shanshan310]

well no PS+ for me this month I guess

It's the perfect opportunity to buy incredibly cheap old consoles and practise your Japanese Jint!

Everyone. There is a Paradox sale going on on Steam. I highly recommend picking up both Europa Universalis IV and Crusader Kings 2.


I am going to further support them with this purchase.

If it is not real it is easily the most authentic cheesy 80s fake I've ever seen. So if it's not real, it's fooled me - even as it gets increasingly silly

And if it is a fake, all these production stills at the studios apparent website make it even more elaborate.

Seems legit, though I don't know if it was ever actually released, by the description on the studio site.

AW HELL YEAH. Payday today so WHY NOT. Just hope I can find a copy

 

[markot]

I don't know about ssb on the 3ds... Would anyone play it after the wiiu version comes out? The controls on the 3ds and most portables are too small for fighters.

 

[reptilescorpio]

The grand strat pack is great value, $9 for Crusader Kings 2, Europa Universalis 4, Hearts of Iron 3 and Victoria 2!

All the sequels you could ever want!

Until CK3/EU5/HoI4/VC3 inevitably.

HoI4 is coming Q1 next year.
