JB Hi-Fi Has A Pretty Good Sale Tonight…

Kotaku AU

They’re calling it JB’s Gift Giving Frenzy. Starting from 6pm today until late JB Hi-Fi have a pretty decent sale going on, and I’m thinking of heading over the road to my local to check it out, considering the fact they have some petty good sales in the games department.

Batman: Arkham City for $55 is the one that jumps out at me. As does an Xbox 360 for $169 (the 4GB model). How about Gears of War3 for $47? Yep. Come this evening my moneys will be seriously depleted.

      They will likely be staying open later specifically for this sale… check on their website.

      They have regular sales (called “Friends and Family”?) that have similar discounts and are only after normal business hours.

      What happens is they close the store as usual and then a little while later, reopen for those who are there for the sale.

      It’s a very good deal and anyone who’s interested should go. Of course, they’ve had 20% off DVDs and BluRays for a few days now, so I’m well stocked in everything I would have bought anyhow.

    LA Noire for $39 is a pretty sweet deal. Too bad the GOTY edition is just around the corner.

      Brink for $9? didn’t it only come out last year? must be pretty bad game

        It was very poorly received due to poor AI in the single-player, and not a very large community in the multi-player effectively making the game unplayable.

        And it came out May of this year.

          The only other game they’re selling for $9 is Kane & Lynch and yet still – I’m sorely tempted. Also they have Star Wars Force Unleashed II for $20 and I’m tempted by that – damn cheap craptacular games!

    How convenient… It was my birthday Monday and I ended up with a stack of JB vouchers and no idea what to use them on. Guess I’ll drop in for a look tonight.

      Hah, I recently went out to buy a new 360 and when I asked the price at Myers they told me, amongst other prices for different versions, that they had the 4GB 360 on clearance for $100 or some bullshit price. Suffice to say they didn’t have any stock left though :P

      I might see about picking up a copy of that as well. I’ve seen the first two seasons and swore to myself I’d watch the third before TOR came out, which I’ve yet to do.
