I don't think Harvey Norman is particularly fond of Nintendo products. I don't remember ever seeing a Gamecube in their stores, and when I went to get a DS they said they didn't sell Nintendo products. As a matter of fact, I don't think they sell any Nintendo products at all (Don't quote me on that though). Which is a pity because Harvey Norman is one of the major electronics / gaming retailers in Australia. Maybe Microsoft or Sony has some sort of sponsorship deal with them?

The last nintendo products i remember being in harvey norman was gbc and nintendo 64. They possibly could have had gba as well.

I still have an original promotional poster from Zelda OOT that i got from a Harvey Norman back in the day.

I bought a Gamecube from them on day one. They didnt advertise the gamecube and only by chance did i stumble upon it and the salesman didnt recommend it cause it didnt play DVD's. They did one of the worse jobs of selling nintendo products and were the first to discontinue it 6 to 10 months into the life of GameCube. 9 australian for a gamecube , 2 games and 2 controllers. They certainly saw me comming. The Gameswizards will get my business this time. they actually know their product.



On a side note both them and Dommayne (also owned by harvey norman) are overpriced on almost everything

yeah, cant remember ever seeing nintendo gear at harveys. wouldnt buy it there anyway as they are always overprived. i mean come on, $120 for some xbox 360 games.... i always go to jb hifi as they are always cheaper or this smaller suburban store who usually have much cheaper prices again.

Harvey Norman is one of the largest chain stores in Australia and they deal in everything from furniture, carpets, bathrooms, tv, sound, games, computers, etc... lots of stuff, they even started a new brand called Domayne that's a little more upmarket, but mainly because there's a large following of people that despise Harvey Norman. They've historically sold Nintendo Products, up to the gamecube and ds, but were very early to drop gamecube support, and only support the handhelds in a limited capacity.

And now due to their willingness to abandon Nintendo, they're being kept out of the circle, it needs to be bared in mind that since Sony came to market in Australia Nintendo's supprt in Oz has significantly dropped, with only now the GBA and DS bringing a resurgence to the Nintendo brand. I know a lot of people that couldn't give a crap about the gamecube but are genuinely excited about the Wii, so hopefully that crew will come around.

A lot of retailers in cluding JB Hifi, Myer, David Jones, EB, Target, Toys R Us, Big W, ***** Smith, etc... which make up the vast majority of retail outlets in australia are giving major support though, so there will be lots of places for people to find Wii's down under... just not at Harvey's... oh well, their service sucks anyway.!!!
