I will probably never play any of these
Actually was going to check out browns plains tomorrow morning. I'm guessing there's no consoles left?

Depends on the store. Check out Ozbargain, people have been talking about what they found this evening at assorted stores.

Reports on OzBargain say my closest Big W is already cleaned out. Not at all surprised. Wouldn't have said no to a Wii U with a ton of games for $150, but I'll live.
Some of those OzBargainers are awful, just awful. I'd rather miss out than contend with the likes of these scavengers. People buying 100+ games just to trade or onsell. Long as they got theirs, right?

I saw Jurassic World. It wasn't bad.
Correct, they're ravenous. I thought about making an account a few years back to post up bargains but some of the attitudes there made me feel a little dirty thinking about it.
Mannn I'd fucking love some of those listed PS4/Vita/WiiU games. Oh well, can't do much about it now. I'll have to keep my eye on eBay to pick them up semi-cheap lol.
It was an absolute mess top to bottom. Insane. I feel like the director had a worse time than Fincher had on Alien 3 because holy shit, it's like 5 different movies in there. Wow. I'm insanely impressed it actually plays pretty well. Like I said, it isn't a bad movie, it's just an insane mess. Just spent the last hour talking with the wife about how much doesn't make sense or mesh with other things/themes/etc. I am so confused at how it's still a quite entertaining movie. It just makes no sense whatsoever.
Favourite part was the park owner though. Holy shit he was great!

Which games are you looking for? I scoped out my local Big W this evening (nothing was on sale yet) and they had a good number of PS4 and Vita titles. Dick all Wii U titles unless you want a copy of Sonic Lost World, Nintendoland or Mario & Sonic Olympics. They did have Trauma Centre Wii and Twilight Princess which may/may not be part of the deal.
Yeah I'm gonna go and have a look tomorrow but not holding my breath. Gotta compete with staff and OzBargainers. I mean are people really that desperate to make a quick buck?

They are the ones I'm keen on if available! Wish work had something up Geelong/Melbourne way for me to drive up to tomorrow >_<
it's 2015 and people are still insane religious zealots about the console wars. threads full of people declaring "i've been a nintendo fan since 19xx and they've burned me for the last time!" but will come crawling back once a new mainline metroid or zelda gets announced. people feeling personally betrayed that nintendo fucked up. I don't understand the mentality of people who buy hardware for games that don't exist yet, nor do I understand the mentality of people who put a ridiculous amount of stock in the future direction of a company that won't materialise for almost two-three years. They're so obsessed with how well their company performs sometimes I don't think they bother playing the games that are actually out.
Sure, their presentation absolutely sucked and their first-party software lineup looks anemic. But who cares? It's almost entirely exclusive and if you want to play those games you'll have to get this console, and if you don't, then don't buy it and life will continue.
smh

Will do. I'm packing Squirrel Jr's day bag as we speak.
Sweet mother of mercy. Wii U Pro Controller for $10? Pikmin 3 and New Luigi U for $3? Wind Waker HD (which I already have digitally) is even tempting at $3.
I might just switch my purchase to a PS4 if there's one available. It now plays 3D Blu Rays and has DLNA support, both of which had me eliminate it from the running for a replacement Blu Ray player.
Did a Ctrl+F for Orion Springfield and nobody's mentioned it.
Was, although it may be because they hadn't put out sale items. Unlikely I would imagine, wasn't any of the listed sale items in the games area anyway.

So I'm standing outside Big W Orion waiting for the doors to open. I must be crazy.
I am waiting outside the one here. I am alone.

Who was it that was interested in my 970 again? I thought I wrote it down but my virtual dog ate it.

I have Squirrel Jr with me. He insisted of playing at the indoor playground around the corner instead of waiting in the trolley. I can't blame him, to be honest.
Can't be as bad as this coffee I'm drinking now.

There's like the one lady here with me. She doesn't look very fierce.
Fake edit: spoke too soon. A few mums have arrived together.

Yep just some crappy accessories here and 360 games. The bastards were already open to business when I got here 10mins before opening time with people swarming to electronics

All they had were 2DSs. Looks like it all got picked over yesterday. Oh well.
No consoles in Tamworth, way to new stock (though I think there might of been the DSs and 360 though? But I was set on a PS4). Games in normal section and lots of it newer stock anyway. I just bought a few games I wanted to play on Xbox One then left it at there. No 101 on Wii U, though I didn't give the 3DS section a hard look, but most of it seemed newer games then on clearance.
Pretty sure the guy there roaming the games section when I got there was prepairing to Ozbargin it up.
Staff unware of sale even today, they where like "$3...serious, surely that's an error, and I was like "epic awesome games clearance *hands phone LOOK AT THIS LIST*". So I've probably stuffed it up for everyone else cause she said she was going to scan them, either that or they might be in a clearance bin soon. At least before old bud gets to them maybe.

Thanks for letting me know. Sorry that it was a bust.
Good luck to everyone else. You'll probably need it.

I did alright with my Big W. About a dozen people were waiting at opening. No consoles, but decent selection of Xbone, Ps4 games etc.
Scored myself

- Nintendo land
- Mario and sonic Olympics
- Murdered PS4 (plus an extra copy for reptilescorpio!)
- COD Ghosts
Nabbed a few Xbone games for whoever wants them.
- Murdered
- COD Ghosts

What, games or consoles? Grab one if you're still there?
Pretty much. I didn't realise the ratio of people commenting on OzB to people actually reading it. I went last night and this morning to QV and even this morning people were rifling through shit.
Still no consoles though. Except the guy did say (he even showed me their computers that have stock levels/prices, was super nice!) that while the TF bundle was cancelled, one of the FIFA bundles was "OR" (which I think means they still order it in). Maybe that was the FIFA 15 one, I can't remember. Bummed I didn't get a console though, but given it looks like they didn't have any at all (and neither did Geelong) I can honestly say I tried.

I just checked and its Trials Fusion, not Titanfall. Oops!
I'll do those Xbone games for cost price to whoever wants them. What I really want is Rayman PS4 or any of the good Wii U games!
