Tinsanta Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Now that the Console has been Released what are the best deals In town, The reason I am interested is that I work at Toys R Us and we want to beat them, or at least match them. We have the Consoles Retailing for $979.99 That $20 below RRP and Most games going for $98.99 with some going for as low as $87.99 both below RRP. Or if you have any other PS3 Packs that beat us the I would Love to hear from you! Also if your looking for stock info I can help you with that to.
Tinsanta Posted March 27, 2007 Author Posted March 27, 2007 search is your friend - click me Thanks, I was just thinking Post launch Deals and ongoing price competition. We are also interested in feedback for future deals, what people what to see with their console or games that we should get more of. Although I can add myself to that forum.
pixelengine Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Well... my regard for Toys R Us certainly dropped last Friday when I went to pick up my preorder including the PS3, Motorstorm, Resistance and 50% of another game (which would have been F1). When I went to pick it up, I was kindly informed that there was no stock of ANY of those three games due to the store only receiving very limited quantities, DESPITE Toys R Us being quite happy to accept my initial preorder. Following that, I quickly headed over to EB where they gladly matched the deal... This was at the Chadstone store BTW.

This was at the Chadstone store BTW. I am sorry to hear that, Chadstone was inundated with PS3 Pre-orders. They were our second largest pre-order store in Australia following a SA store. We do of course apologise about that incident, I am looking at the stock levels and it appears you were not the only one as stock level is negative. We had plenty of PS3 but games sony and affiliates cut back numbers so some titles we were low on. We aimed to have as much stock in as possible but last minute pre-orders sadly depleted our stock of the games and communication was not relayed for the staff to stop pre orders in that store. This I take responsibility for as I was in charge of the pre order stock distribution and do apologise for you inconvenience and hope we can regain your regard.

As PS3 games are region free maybe you should look at being competitive with people at places like Play-Asia, where a lot of forum members will shop.
attilathepun Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 My regard for TRU went up substantially when I went to pick up my pre-order and it came to a total of $1046. I am not sure who was responsible for that little error, but thanks!

MarkH. Is it a definate that PS3 games are region free (sorry for my ignorance), but if this is the case, I will now be ordering my games from OS.

Tinsanta Posted March 27, 2007 Author Posted March 27, 2007 As PS3 games are region free maybe you should look at being competitive with people at places like Play-Asia, where a lot of forum members will shop. I have just had a bit of a look around Play Asia, and they do appear a bit cheaper once delivery is taken into account. I will bring it up with my supervisor and see what he says, although our margins are already quite low so I don't think we will be able to match dollar for dollar but it might be a talking point when we next meet our vendors to discuss cost. If our cost goes down then we can pass on the savings to you. Luckily we have big brother Toys R Us US behind us so that gives little old TRU Australia a bit of weight behind us. Will let you know how it progresses.

We are also interested in feedback for future deals, what people what to see with their console or games that we should get more of. Although I can add myself to that forum. Is it still possible to get the pre-release package of console and two games, R:FOM and Motorstorm, and a half game for $1099? That's the deal I was looking at if it was still available. From the brochure, I was under the impression that the package was available after launch but you didn't get the half price game.
quietboy Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Your Welcome, can you tell me what item you bought? Have to love it when a store error works in your favour! i got the same deal at tru. motorstorm, resistance fom and ridge racer 7 for the same price of 1049 at Northland. I was told this was a directive through tru management. Mind you tinsanta I was called about my preorder (got the last allocation phew!) and told to come at 11, they will process orders as per arrival order for 1201 start. turned up to find they have changed their mind and processed orders as per order number, being the last, had to wait until 1245. Not happy, plus they had the manager running out the ps3 from the office and some other tru guy just standing there waiting for all of us to go so he could buy his. that guy could have processed us and made it a bit quicker through the checkouts. nic
