Price Disclaimer

Last updated: 2 April 2026

The short version

Prices on this Site are collected automatically and may not reflect what a retailer is charging right now. Always check the retailer's website before you buy. We are a price comparison tool — we are not the seller, and we have no control over what retailers charge.

1. How prices are collected

Prices displayed on whataryabuyin.com are collected automatically by software that visits Australian retailer websites on a scheduled basis. Prices are not provided directly by retailers and are not updated in real time.

There will always be a delay between when a retailer changes a price and when that change is reflected on this Site. The "prices last checked" timestamp shown on each game page indicates when our system last retrieved the price — it does not guarantee the price is current at the moment you are reading it.

Prices for some retailers are entered and maintained manually on an infrequent basis and may be less current than automatically scraped prices.

2. Link and URL accuracy

Product page links on this Site are discovered automatically. Our system searches for the correct retailer product page for each game, but this process is not perfect. In some cases a link may point to the wrong edition of a game, the wrong platform version, or an unrelated product at that retailer.

Always confirm that you are on the correct product page before adding anything to your cart or completing a purchase. If you spot a broken or incorrect link, you can report it using the "Report an issue" link on the relevant game page.

3. Always verify before you buy

Before making any purchase, always check the price on the retailer's own website. The price shown on this Site may differ from the price you are charged at the point of sale due to:

  • Price changes made by the retailer since our last scrape
  • Flash sales, member discounts, or promotional pricing we cannot detect
  • Regional pricing variations within Australia
  • Bundle pricing or multi-copy discounts
  • Pricing errors on the retailer's own website
  • Stock availability affecting listed prices

We accept no responsibility for any loss, inconvenience, or disappointment arising from a discrepancy between the price shown on this Site and the price charged by a retailer.

4. We are not the seller

whataryabuyin.com is a price comparison service. We do not sell games, process payments, or hold stock. When you click a "View Deal" link, you are directed to the retailer's own website, where that retailer's terms and conditions — including their pricing, stock availability, returns policy, and consumer guarantees — apply.

Any transaction you enter into is solely between you and the retailer. We are not a party to that transaction and accept no liability in relation to it.

5. Physical and digital pricing

Where both physical and digital editions of a game are listed, these are separate products sold by different retailers under different conditions. Digital editions are typically tied to a platform account and cannot be resold or traded. Physical editions may be subject to shipping costs not reflected in the listed price.

The "best price" shown on this Site reflects the lowest scraped price across all retailers and formats. Depending on your preference for physical or digital, the best price available to you may differ from the overall lowest price shown.

6. Preorder pricing

Prices displayed for unreleased games are preorder prices at the time of our last scrape. Preorder prices are subject to change by the retailer at any time before the game's release date, including on or after release day.

We recommend confirming preorder pricing directly with the retailer before placing a preorder, particularly for games with a release date that is several months away.

7. Currency

All prices displayed on this Site are in Australian dollars (AUD) and include GST where applicable. We do not display prices in any other currency or perform currency conversion.

Prices shown for digital storefronts (PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Nintendo eShop) are the AUD prices displayed on those platforms at the time of our last scrape. Platform storefronts occasionally display prices exclusive of GST during checkout — the final price you pay may differ slightly from what is displayed here.

8. Affiliate links

At present, this Site does not use affiliate links. All "View Deal" links are plain direct links to retailer product pages. We do not earn any commission or referral fee when you click through to a retailer or make a purchase.

If this changes in the future, this page will be updated to disclose the nature of any affiliate relationships clearly and prominently.

9. No endorsement of retailers

The inclusion of a retailer on this Site does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or approval of that retailer or its products. Retailers are listed for price comparison purposes only.

We have no commercial relationship with any retailer listed on this Site and are not compensated by any retailer for inclusion or placement.

10. Cross-generational titles

Some games were originally released on previous-generation consoles (such as PS4 or Xbox One) and are also playable on current-generation hardware (PS5 or Xbox Series X) via backwards compatibility. On this Site, all games are listed under the current-generation platform — meaning a game listed as PS5 may be a native PS5 title or a PS4 title that is playable on PS5 via backwards compatibility.

Always confirm the edition you are purchasing on the retailer's product page before completing your purchase. If you own a PS4, check that the edition you are buying is compatible with your console — not all titles available on PS5 include a PS4 version.

11. Game editions

Where multiple editions of a game are available (such as Standard, Deluxe, or Ultimate editions), this Site intends to display the price for the standard edition only. If the standard edition is no longer available at a retailer, the cheapest available edition may be displayed instead.

A game listing on this Site that does not explicitly name an edition should be treated as the standard edition. However, always confirm the specific edition you are purchasing on the retailer's product page — we cannot guarantee that the edition displayed matches your expectation in all cases.

12. Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in this disclaimer limits, excludes, or modifies any rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)), including any consumer guarantees that cannot be excluded by law.

Your statutory rights as a consumer apply to transactions with the retailer you purchase from — not to your use of this price comparison Site, which is provided free of charge.

Note: This disclaimer was prepared in good faith to accurately describe how this Site works. If you have a dispute with a retailer about a price, that dispute is between you and the retailer — contact the retailer directly, or the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) if you believe your consumer rights have been breached.
