Pretty shit. Massive line. Almost no stock.

ACCC should investigate. No doubt it was DSE themselves who leaked the list in the hope it would go viral so they could get. Past the reasonable
quantity laws by not advertising it themselves.

Ugh this, I went to 2 stores, no DSi's (or any other consoles), no G15s, G19's, or the sidewinder, no MX518 or G9 in stock whatsoever.

All it was was a handful of shitty games :(((((

They didn't even have the wii fit board thing lol

Yeh the store I was at they opened at 8.30 and sold one of each console and that was it. Just crap games from then on (with low quantities too). Was pretty much over by 8.45.

I kinda expected the consoles to be in very low if any supply.

But keyboards cmon.

Fuck I really dont want to ever use anything other than a G15 or maybe G19, I love this keyboard as if it were my own child, hope it never breaks ever.

It was a sale with nothing but shitty stuff noone would buy and like 1 or 2 cheap consoles taken by whoever walked in first.

The lack of stock is virtually criminal

Massive scam, the owners didn't even know it was on. Like wth.

I've lost all trust in the stupid company and its no wonder they're getting sold off. Deceptive clearance scams is not the way to enter back into the market.

otherwise known as bait advertising.
How's it bait advertising? They just posted it on facebook. If it was on TVs and stuff then it would be bait advertising.

Baiting customers into their store with dodgy advertising, not baiting and switching.

I was thinking that.

It depends on someone reporting it -you've got this rafy

Seriously it's fully illegal, read the trades practices act, someone send relevant links, reference pertinent section of the act to the ACCC.
