Boo hissss
didn't scan at that price for me.Just to be clear, a lot of the 'drop zone' items will be in a particular 'drop zone' area, cordoned away from the normal areas you'd expect to find these items in.
Obviously you're not going to find 2DS's and Xbones in an uncovered tray near the sporting goods, but I'd expect to find games and accessories there. At least, in my local BigW, the main drop zone area is a cluster fuck shoe horned in near the gardening and sports stuff. And then there are roll cages setup around the store nearer to where the items would ordinarily live, along with just some items still on the shelf in their normal areas, but with drop zone stickers.
So you may have to hunt a little bit.
But more likely, everything is long gone by now in most stores.

I said damn... Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3 and Mon Hunter would have been tops!
If anyone comes across these games, I'd be willing to trade for the Xbox One titles I picked up
- UFC
- Trails Fusion
- Murdered
- COD Ghosts
I would trade ALL of these for ANY of the above mentioned Wii U titles. Or Rayman Legends + NFS for PS4. If there's no traders, I'd be willing to sell these to any X1 owner for cost price to share the sales love.
Got a spare copy Of Nintendoland, Epic Mickey 2 WiiU (Hit me up if you want to trade).
And some cruddy XB1 titles. PlaynCharge kit with a HDMI cable was also $3 so i grabbed that as well.
In all honesty, it was mostly 360/PS3/DS and Wii shovelware. People were just grabbing handfuls of shit not even caring - i spose at $3 a game, who cares.

Same with the one I went to. The store didn't get the memo about the gaming drop zone, but luckily, prices scanned properly. We had to get the games off the shelves. Really bummed that they didn't have TW101 in stock for $3
I managed to pick up a Titanfall Xbox One bundle. Had to ask if they had any in stock mind you. Everything was out back.
My mate (who is a massive collector and reseller) picked up 2x Fifa Xbox bundles, 11x PSPs, 5x 3DS Pokemon bundles, 5x 2DS Pokemon bundles and 30x $3 games. Just cleaned them out.

Motherfucker sounds like the fabled Broden from OzB. Good luck to him/her!

Arrived at opening and not much there from the get go. Picked up a bunch of Skylanders, Disney Infinity and NBA 2K14 on Xbone which got traded in at EB. Got a couple of 360 games for the neighbours kids, a 360 chatpad for a mate and all I ended up with for myself was a Turtle Beach Wii U headset. Hooray? Rang up a couple of nearby Big Ws but got bored sounding teenagers who said everything good had been OZBargain'd.
But I bought a tiger bread loaf at Woolworths on my way out so the morning wasn't a total bummer.

Xbox One Wireless Controller with Halo Master Chief Collection and Forza Horizon 2 for $74
http://www.bigw.com.au/product/xbox...ion-and-forza-horizon-2/p/WCC100000000212530/
Great deal whether you have the games or not, can trade or sell them and you're basically looking at a $35 controller.

Shin Megami Tensei IV is half off on the 3DS eShop for $13. Haven't played the game, but sounds like a bit of a steal.

Wollongong and Gold Coast are the only places with all day breakfast at Maccas right now.
That's not true, both Maccas in Melton, West of Melbourne have it.

I missed the Tassie Big W dropzone Deals again. ah well. (not like they ever have anything)
XBOX ONE with Halo: Master Chief Collection for $375.20 here. I now own all three consoles this generation! Great price!
So, so tempted...
I still think I'll wait until the end of the year though. I'm not particularly interested in the Master Chief collection, there are going to be more bundles around that price near Christmas (maybe including the 1TB version with a better controller), and I also have about $100 in Westfield vouchers that I'd like to use to make it even cheaper.

I haven't got a specific brand recommendation, but I'd recommend buying a standalone USB hard drive (making sure it's the smaller 2.5", and not a larger 3.5" drive).
You can take the drive out of it's enclosure, put it in the PS4, and then put the drive that was originally in the PS4 into the now empty enclosure. That way you get an upgraded PS4 HDD, as well as a 500GB external drive.
Couldn't be bothered going to Target to get Uncharted for $68 so just went to EB instead. I'm glad I also asked for a sealed copy, otherwise the girl behind the counter wouldn't have thrown in the extra preorder bonus codes they had back there.
I know EB Games can be annoying a lot of the time (like overcharging exclusive collector's editions) but I still enjoy being a customer to them at my local store. I like how easy it is to price match and return a game if I don't like it in 7 days fully refunded, no questions asked.
All digital future is going to suck on consoles if they don't have easy refunds soon. I'd also complain about internet speeds but it's more Sony limited at the moment rather than Australia's infrastructure.
