We have since 1969.

Infernal Monkey · Jun 18, 2014

Holy shit. Sell the exclusive Skylanders figure + game on eBay and that's almost $100 for a Wii U.

Caramello · Jun 18, 2014

That's an insane price.

We do, but it's only K-Mart by name, it's not owned by the same company

First thing I thought aswell. I would jump on a WiiU, a great catalogue of games and more to come, IMO Nintendo's first part is untouchable.

KMart and Target are the 2 main retailer stores in Australia. Most sizable towns get them before Big W, JB Hifi, etc.

CmdrShepard · Jun 18, 2014

Geese i wonder how much i could trade in that Skylanders stuff for - this is easily the cheapest the Wii U has been and if i could get $20-30 for the Skylanders i could easily see yself picking up Mario Kart 8.

SwiftDeath · Jun 18, 2014

What problems would one run into having a smaller internal HDD like that? Can I just survive on an External?

Oh it's Australia. My mistake

Zushin · Jun 18, 2014

Great price. I was lucky last year when Dick Smith were selling Premium consoles for $214 and had everything (games, controllers, etc) at half price to pick one up.

Stabby McSter · Jun 18, 2014

I AIN'T NO BASIC BITCH

also, that's pretty cheap

Bishop89 · Jun 18, 2014

Good price, but I need premium dude, PREMIUUUUMMM.

ThoseDeafMutes · Jun 18, 2014

Why does the price on the WiiU say "pk" if the 2DS bundle price says "ea"? Aren't they both "packs"?

I demand answers, K-mart.

Zengar · Jun 18, 2014

I'd buy it at that price if the WiiU weren't region locked.

Poimandres · Jun 18, 2014

I would certainly be grabbing one if I didn't already hit up the Dick Smith sale. Hehe.

CraZed · Jun 18, 2014

What a steal!

Its still over $300 here.

Benzychenz · Jun 18, 2014

Damn, that's an insane price. And looking at ebay the exclusive figure goes for like $30.

SZGF · Jun 18, 2014

Dang, if I didn't jump on the EBgames pack I would be all over this

shink · Jun 18, 2014

So tempting but I gotta stop spending so money on consoles/games I have no time to play.

FUME5 · Jun 18, 2014

Well, if any stores near me have stock (or can I get this online) I guess I'm picking up a Wii U next week...that I probably won't play until Bayo 2 comes out.

BlitzBlake · Jun 18, 2014

Any issues with the 8gb if I'm not going digital. Will I still need an external for system updates?

My 8gb still has a good 2.5gb left after all the massive updates so you'll be good.

That said I kind of wish I had the 32gb to have room for NES Remix, Pullblox World, the free game from Mario Kart 8 etc without having to buy an external but eh.

Jomjom · Jun 18, 2014

Are your Kmarts as barren and dirty looking as the ones in the US?

Infernal Monkey · Jun 18, 2014

BlitzBlake said:

I bought the Skylanders bundle from Target a few months back, and system updates alone since then left me with about 2GB of free space. So you should be right for now.

Guevara · Jun 18, 2014

Shit I'd just about buy a Wii U for that and I'm a hater.

Dead Man · Jun 18, 2014

I'll go look, but I expect to find none available at any Kmart near me on the 26th.

boredandlazy · Jun 18, 2014

Don't even really care about Nintendo stuff and even I'm tempted. Probably won't bite though, got enough stuff to play already.

Fasty · Jun 18, 2014

Woah... that's CRAZY. Good find. Might have to jump on this one!

Yep.

liquidtmd · Jun 18, 2014

'Meeeh I'd bite if it were $149'

Am I doing it right?

Jump on it fellow AusGAFers.

You won't regret it!

?oe?oe · Jun 18, 2014

Oh snap, I've got plenty of spare HDDs laying around. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm decisions.

Box of Bunnies · Jun 18, 2014

I heartily endorse this event or product.

matrix-cat · Jun 18, 2014

Great price, retailers have been getting absolutely cut-throat lately.

Ebay's already flooded with unboxed Skylanders starter packs, though, so don't get your hopes up on that front

GoofsterStud · Jun 18, 2014

Good deal!

Karsticles · Jun 18, 2014

I am really glad that this deal is not in the USA, or I might want to buy another one.

DaSorcerer7 · Jun 18, 2014

That's an amazing price.

ss-hikaru · Jun 18, 2014

Thanks for the heads up! Passing this info onto a friend whose kid has been wanting a Wii U for ages

I hope for her sake that she sells the Skylanders bit though haha.

Bishop89 · Jun 18, 2014

I really want the premium one.
Hate electronics which are not black, + the whole 10% discount for online purchases + Bigger internal storage.

As much as a good deal this is... Im going to regret it once the premium edition gets a heavy discount.

KAP151 · Jun 18, 2014

Im prolly gonna jump on this and sell off the Skylanders shit.

Purchase MK8 and enjoy my free game.

I'm sorry but Kmart lost relvency a long time ago. Target should just be the Coles brand not both Kmart or Target.

Bulbasaur · Jun 18, 2014

Dear Lord... That's cheaper than a 3DS XL

Witchfinder General · Jun 18, 2014

I'd be more interested if it was the premium version for $200 without a game.

If you sell Nintendo Land and all the Skylanders stuff its basically $130 at best.

Mulgrok · Jun 18, 2014

If it were that cheap near me I would buy it for Bayonetta 1&2!
