MrMorden said: People started laybying GH3 today at BigW and will pick em up on Sat - BigW policy is to refund the difference from a layby and a sale price - smart!!!
I also know that some people are putting like 10 on layby and will sell them on eBay next week - cheeky!



I can't find this policy on the Big W website or in the catalogue, where did these people see this?

OK I don't know if things are different over east, but my local Big W Lay-By dept had no such thing on a sign. I asked the Lay-By manager about it and she said she had never heard of such a policy regarding lay-by and that she wouldnt allow it.

I bought GH3 for $128, screw getting trampled by the hoards for $30 savings, also picked up Red Steel and Big Brain Academy with bonus remote

Think im going to do the same thing. Last time i went to a BigW one day special was for a cheap motor-mower and it was a nightmare. People everywhere running and shoving, the stock was gone in about 2 minutes. I only ended up getting one cause i found the display model. A lot of people left empty handed though.

Cant imagine how much worse it will be with teenagers...with apologies to all the mywii teenagers , who are no doubt polite and well mannered and would never push over a senior citizen to get to GH3

That is where you are wrong, my friend. When Guitar Hero is in the mix...no man, young or old, is safe from a horde of angry, tired and anxious gamers. Damn...I really hope I don't fall victim to my own kind haha.

Elraro said: As am I...but hopefully it'll be GH3 itself rather than the raincheck.

On that note, are you sure there isn't a tiny -2pt disclaimer hidden around the catalogue's page saying "No rainchecks on GH3"? You never know...

well i went all through the catalogue and they have nothing regarding any rainchecks, so either way i am gonna get it for $98

I don't like the sound of that. They told me that the other day when I was trying to price match Call Of Duty 4. "Yeah, it's fine, we'll price match that lower price when you come back with the catalogue". Hehe, doh, so much for $79 (even though no where had it for that price). I had the big w catalogue so I price matched the $84 instead.

I paid $128 for it yesterday as I weighed up the options and decided that I didn't feel like being trampled for a saving of $30. I picked up a couple of other games too (which wenre't going to be on sale for a super duper price) so I think that it was the right thing to do for me.

I'm loving guitar hero 3, its good fun
