After Dick Smith’s poorly handled video game sale last week, it seems as though it’s attempting to make amends, by offering 30% off on all games and accessories until this Sunday.
Lines have started forming outside Dick Smith stores this morning in preparation for the retailer’s massive games clearance this week.
Three price lists that supposedly belong to Dick Smith have been leaked, suggesting that the Aussie retailer is planning a sale bigger than anything we’ve seen recently.
As we’re all aware, Nintendo has been forced to give the Nintendo 3DS a much publicised — and much discussed — price drop for the 3DS. The new RRP is $250, but we’ve just gotten word that Dick Smith are about to start selling the 3DS for a ridiculously low $199.
Missed the massive GAME sale? Didn’t get around to buying any of those Steam games? Don’t worry – new consoles and plenty of sequels will make for consistent good deals in the months to come. And if you aren’t enamoured with the bells & whistles of the new 360 Slim, now might be your time. Here’s what’s good at the moment.
Stop work right now. Call your nearest Dick Smith Electronics store. Ask them if they have Brütal Legend on PS3 in stock. If yes, go there immediately and buy it.
Most of the PSP bundles you can get right now either pack in a first-party game like Gran Turismo or LittleBigPlanet or they offload something you probably don’t want, such as Harry Potter or Transformers. But this is a bit different.
Racing fans who haven’t yet picked up the new Colin McRae rally sim from Codemasters might want to investigate the current Dick Smith catalogue first.
Guitar Hero World Tour’s full bundle was over $300 at launch. At Dick Smith, it’s now under $200.
