billgates: ^ Seems like a waste to buy the blu-ray player because the TV they have purchased cannot even do 720P!

Not at all! We have a HD ready plasma (purchased when full HD TVs were a lot more expensive). Watching BluRay movies on it is a far superior viewing experience to DVDs.

Noel Leeming are selling the TiVo 320GB for only $199 - in store only, one per customer. That is a great freeview box for the price!!!

Bought on this morning after seeing this posted in the Tivo section.

Me too, I was the one who asked the question why they wern't listed online anymore. Grabbed one for my in-laws and used some birthday money to pick up one for me, and got my folks to grab one too. At that price it's only a bit more than a freeview decoder. Going away for a week but hopefully have time to set it up tonight.

I went to the Warehouse in St Lukes, Auckland & they happily price matched the Xbox for $174, awesome :-)

Don't go to the Warehouse on Dominion Road, the manager refused to price match.

Its not an issue with your browser or system timezone settings is it? Dates look fine to me here

Hmm, the OS date and time are ok, I'm running firefox 8.0.1, I can't find any time or date settings in the options of the browser itself. hmmm..

Weird. Looks OK in 8.0.1 for me here (on OSX Snow Leopard and Windows 7)

Did you get the Kinect from DSE for $99 too?

I found an old work voucher :) $50 off

so total cost for me:
- Work HDD 320gb from vendor $0 free
- Case for internal HDD $7.20NZD Ebay
- Xbox $174 at Warehouse
- Kinect after discount $49 Dick Smith
- Crackdown $19 at Dick Smith

$223 all up for a 320gb+4gb Kinect console

Might be able to convince the wife that we can still keep the 2nd Playstation too

Picked up an x5 yesterday and I'm stoked with it. Nicest phone I have ever owned, but that is not saying much! $250 is what the original u8150 was worth when I got it free on 2 degrees plan.

Try Vultr using this link and get us both some credit:

Ahhh that's done it, weird though, because this is the first time I've noticed it. hmm. Oh well.

Nah, it's my second Xbox. I already have a Kinect but rarely use it. Thanks for posting about the Warehouse price matching, I never expected them to price match this deal lol.
