JB have slashed the price of the new
Nintendo 3DS to $298, cut by more than $50 charged by most other retailers including rivals Harvey Norman and Dick Smith (the RRP is $349).
The price also pulls the rug out from under online rivals, whose lowest price is $338 from mwave.com.au, although when shipping costs are added on the total bill comes to over $350 mark.
In fact, some online stores are charging $400 and above for
Nintendo's latest release.
And it's not just game consoles that are going cheap this weekend.
Harvey Norman has cut 40 per cent off its
Toshiba laptop range, including the Qosmio F60/05E Laptop, Satellite L650 and C650D.
According to its website, the offer only goes on until tomorrow, Saturday 2nd.
And it's not just consoles going cheap at JB Hi Fi, who have also cut some of its PC prices, selling
Apple Macs at 10 per cent off including the MacBook Air ($1196), MacBook
Pro and iMac.
Like Harvey's the yellow store also has offers on some
Toshiba and
Samsung notebooks. And this price battle could intensify among the major players further as soon as Harveys brings its online trading site to life, which is set to happen very soon.
This comes as a report out today suggest JB Hi Fi will outperform the market rivals this year as the retail space continues its competitive jostle for market share.
