Eight is being terribly conservative. I was thinking more like two.

I have to agree, I normally hate MK games and MKDS was incredibly fun...

I hate this they have all versions of Marvel Ultimate Alliance except the 360 version, looks like I better call the Indy stores tomorrow.The Washington Square TRUs got them today. I counted at least 5 copies left when I was there a little before 4 today.

My TRU was still Bully-less as of today.

As was mine. The store employees seemed about as frustrated as I was. I ended up buying another 39.99 game to act as exchange fodder for when the game *finally* comes in.

Following up a post made yesterday about the Red Tag Glitch. I went by TRU today to pick up games versus the 2 for $30 PS2 GH sale also going on this week.

I bought:

Trapt - 20.98 - 4.20 Red Tag Clearance = $16.78
Soul Calibur III - 19.99 - 4.00 Red Tag Clearance (who knew?) = $15.99
Shadow of the Colossus - $19.99 - $19.99 B2G1 = FREE

Given this information with a previous post with a successful glitch of $29.99, $20.99 Red Tag, and a free $19.99, you can likely get a free game as high as your most expensive Red Tag. It'd be nice if you could get a free $xx.xx off of any two Red Tags, but that just wouldn't make sense. Are there even any Red Tags above $30? Could be a good way to score $20 or $30, though.

I was excited and surprised when I was expecting a $40+ ticket. =) Is there a list of Red Tag games to help other CAGs save a couple bucks?

Hopefully Castleton has them since they are closer to me, but if not hopefully Washington Square will still have them and I can have them hold me a copy.

The local TRUs still don't have what I really want (Tales of the Abyss and God Hand) so I'll probably make one last stop Saturday.

How did you guys do this BB price match thing?
Do you take all three games into BB and show them you got 3 games from toysrus for the prifce of two and they then let you get three games for the price of two?
Somebody who has done this please let me know.

Bestbuy given CRAP out of me when i pricematch with TRU today. Stupidly employees told me they only pricematch the games in the ad is show. I pointed 2-5 times "BUy 2 get 1 free all on videogames" then the cashier say Oh... so he call the supervisor & 2 leads over but they still telling me they only match the games in the pictures. I got VERY PISS OFF, and walk in to Movie section to pickup some horror DVD on sales this week. I RAN into the manager & handed him the ad " Do you Pricematch with TRU"? He say YES and let me know if anyone given you hard time. he's so nice given his name & Say sorry!!

I endup pickup Vykyrie Profiles 2, Rules of Rose and Disagea 2. :)

Well Circuit City be a better store to try and pricematch with? That's what I'm reading. If you've got one nearby go for it. I don't really have one near here, it isn't worth the trip if they deny me/ don't have what I want.

I believe Trapt is $20.98 before 20% discount. After it is around $16.

Excellent - is Phoenix Wright in stock at most TRUs?

Not at my location in Greenville, SC. When I visited Tuesday to pick up my games, they had just about everything I expected in stock. But I can't say I saw anything as rare as Phoenix Wright, although they surprisingly had Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow behind the glass shelving. I still want Contact, but from what I'm reading, sounds like I'll be striking out.




This deal seems awfully straight foward for there to be 1,000 posts on it. I guess that just means the promotion has been a huge sucess!

After the recent lameness with the Best Buy online DS special, I think a good, legitimate, working deal is a breath of fresh air.

It should be made clear that you're one of probably 8 people who feel that way. :)
I found it fun at first, but then it became frustatingly hard because I would lose a Grand Prix by like 1 point overall:bomb: . Also, the WiFi was also hard when you faced snakers. I much preferred Double Dash over MKDS. I may like NSMB more, because MKDS was only my third DS game, and with my first one being Nintendogs Best Friends, it got boring:drool: , especially since I beat SM64 rather quickly.

Anyways, I went to Toys R Us, and they DID have Clubhouse Games and MegaMan ZX, unlike the cashier said on the phone. So I had gotten:
MegaMan ZX
Magical Starsign
Clubhouse Games

Saint's Row
Dead Rising
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
I picked up Magical Starsign out of curiousity. Also I feel that I should have picked up that last 10.48 Psychonauts for Xbox:cry:

Not really, it's only like a 45 minute drive from me. I don't remember where Washington Square is at, but I'm guess it'd be an extra 15 minutes to my drive.

I saw 5 copies of Phoenix Wright on Saturday for $19.99 each and wensday there was only 1 copy left. *sigh* I ended up getting that copy of Phoenix Wright and two donkey konga bongos w/donkey konga 2 for $19.99 each.
After the deal the total was around $42.xx

the red tag glitch works. Here's mine.

Makai Kingdom : 20.98 - 4.20 = 16.78

Makai Kingdom : 20.98 - 4.20 = 16.78

Lumines: 19.95 = 0.00

So if you get a red tag item that has a higher tag price, you'll be able to get one free game below that red tag priice, even after the discount.

According to the OP, games bought through this promotion can only be exchanged for games released prior to the end of the promotion, so, no, you can't exchange them later for games that haven't been released yet.


Are you serious?? i was about to go pick some x360 games..
but theres nothing i want to get except marvel.. so i was going to exchange them later..

is this YMMV or store policy??

From what I understand this how the glitch works.

You have the CSR scan the Red Tagged game(s) you are purchasing first then you have them ring up the regularly priced game you are trying to get as your third game so that it is the free game (as long as the regularly priced game is less than what the original price of the Red Tagged game(s) you are purchasing with it).


Like this example that is shown by musicnoteless:
the red tag glitch works. Here's mine.

Makai Kingdom : 20.98 - 4.20 = 16.78

Makai Kingdom : 20.98 - 4.20 = 16.78

Lumines: 19.95 = 0.00

So if you get a red tag item that has a higher tag price, you'll be able to get one free game below that red tag priice, even after the discount.
Essentially Makai Kingdom would be the Red Tagged game(s) that are used in the example as 20.98 before discount and 16.78 after the 20% discount that comes with the Red Tag games at TRU and then he got Lumines as his free game even though it is more than the discounted price of the Red Tagged games.

I also got the red tag glitch to work accidentally. Castlevania Curse of Darkness was red tagged, scanned first, and I picked up two other $20 games. Castlevania's 20% off worked, so after tax I got 3 $20 games for ~$38.

I don't believe the scan order matters. The red tag game was the last one scanned in on my purchase and the glitch still worked. It is just the prices that matter.

wwwhhhat?

$120 for the three games minus 10% is $108 divided by three is $36 apiece....then again, i could be totally off base

2 Games @ $59.99 = $119.98
1 Game @ $.01 = $119.99
Subtract 10% = $107.99
Divide by 3 to see total actual amount - $36 each.

You are bad at math or had a typo.

The glitch is really not that great. At most it saves you 20% on one game which is not red tagged, but even then it is HIGHLY specific to the games you are getting. Most people will not find or want two red tag games and a normal game that is a slightly lower price. Basically, don't try to get the glitch to work, unless those three particular games were actually the games you wanted.

I seriously think I spend more time now shopping and buying games then I do playing them any more. In the last three months I've bought at least 75 games (yikes I shouldn't have counted and I could have gone on thinking it was in the $20s), at least 40 of which are unopened and of the opened maybe a dozen have been played more then three or four hours. I almost wish I could bring myself to return or sell some of this stuff.

The two nearest TRU stores got shipments of new games today - PSU, Magical Starsign, etc. but they only have display cases for Devil Summoner, having not received the actual copies. Should I expect these by the end of the sale? One clerk said that they get actual copies a week after display cases, but couldn't personally tell me when the Devil Summoner cases were shipped.

JasonTerminator

Apparently PSU for the 360 was delayed everywhere until tomorrow (Thursday). I'm hoping my TRU gets it.

I thought it was just my TRU! I wasn't sure if I wanted to get it anyway, since I'm still trying to figure out which version suits me the best.

Anyway, mine didn't have Bully, SMT: Devil Summoner, Contact, NSMB, Metroid Prime: Hunters or Mario Kart DS.

I ended up buying two sets:

$20 games - Me and My Katamari, Wipeout Pure, and Advance Wars DS
$40 games - Okami, Suikoden V, and Ace Combat X.

I'm probably gonna see a movie tomorrow night, and my TRU is right across the street from the theater, so I'll probably stop by tomorrow and see if they get in Bully, because I might trade Suikoden V or Ace Combat for it (I'm trying to figure out if Suikoden is getting harder to find, or is gonna get cheaper soon. Ace Combat will certainly get cheaper, but that's a hot game and it came out this week I think.)

And I might also look more at the DS games, since they did have Mario and Luigi 2 and Megaman ZX. I'm considering getting Animal Crossing or Mario Vs. Donkey Kong 2, but I'm not 100% convinced I want those games. If they get more NSMB though, it's ON.

Mario vs. DK 2 $29.99
Clubhouse Games $29.99
Trauma Center (finally) $29.99

I was trying to get Contact, but the guy said they only got like 4 copies and they sold out pretty quickly.

TRU in Merritt Island, FL, still doesnt look like they've got any new shipments. Either that or they haven't stocked the shelves yet.

But I'll keep checking back. I would really like Contact.

I went to this TRU last night and I see you bought the M v DK 2 I wanted ;)


Here's my story and it's YMMV I'm sure, but be warned this is what I was told.

Went to the TRU here (Melbourne, FL), they had Splinter Cell and Marvel Ultimate Alliance, but no Tiger Woods 07. She told me I could try to wait and see if they got any in before the end of the week, but if they didn't then I was SOL. So she called the other TRU that had Tiger in stock and got them to hold one, I bought Splinter Cell, Marvel UA, and NBA 2k7 and headed over to the other TRU to exchange. Told me they couldn't do just the return for one of them, I had to return all the games and then she just rang it up again with the 3 I wanted. Just a warning for people who are buying things now with the intention of returning them later. I made sure that the game I was returning wasnt listed as the free one, but it didn't seem to matter.

I was able to successfully exchange my 2nd copy of Saints Row yesterday for Tiger Woods. They told me that as long as the game wasn't the free game, it could be exchanged. Seems kind of silly since I didn't choose which one the cashier rang up for free...luckily I had two copies of the same game because one of my Saints Rows was the free game.

Okami (PS2)

I wanted the first two for 360 but they didn't have either one. I was also hoping to get Devil Summoner or the new Tales game, but they didn't have either of those.

Wow Orri, great haul. But I don't think I've ever seen someone with such varied tastes before. You have some truly awesome games mixed in with some real crap (lol, not trying to offend).


LOL! Thanks.

Yeah, there are a couple of stinkers in there.

I collect for the DS, which explains some of that. The Curious George is because my 2 year old son LOVES that stupid monkey. :lol:

Everything else is for me to play....eventually.

Wait... we actually play these pieces of plastic?... I seem to remember this... long long ago...

I seriously think I spend more time now shopping and buying games then I do playing them any more. In the last three months I've bought at least 75 games (yikes I shouldn't have counted and I could have gone on thinking it was in the $20s), at least 40 of which are unopened and of the opened maybe a dozen have been played more then three or four hours. I almost wish I could bring myself to return or sell some of this stuff.

TRUE doesn't even describe that statement!

I checked last night (71 PS2, 56 GCN, 71 XBOX, 16 PSP, 58 DS) and I also have more sealed games than I do opened ones.

The ratio, unfortunately is about 75% sealed games to opened.

I WANT to play all/most of these games. I simply never have time.

The biggest problem is that many of these newer games take 80 hours or so. That would take me months to get through, and that's just one game.

Hell, I still haven't even played the Grand Theft Auto III that I have sealed.

Well, I'll get to them someday...;)

Yeah -- I'm with you (50 PS2, 40 XBX, 44 GCN, 25 DC) -- not as many unopened games since I never planned to return any of them :-) and I love flipping through the manuals -- it's as close as I get sometimes to "playing" the game.

That's one of the reasons why I need to pick up an Action Replay for my systems -- only way I'll ever get through those RPGs ... <sigh> there's something ironic about that.

Anyways, I returned my Replay MAX for PS2 (on account of all the memory card issues -- kept the GCN one though since it comes with a nice mem card, though I'm told it works only on older GCNS, which mine is).

Used that money to pick up 3 ridiculously cheap games:

Killzone ($3.98)
Viewtiful Joe ($3.98) - heck have the GCN one, but this has Dante!
Devil May Cry 2 FREE -- sure, it's not that good, but I want the trilogy

And I even got change back after returning my Replay Max. Nice!

Now when do I play them??? Who knows.

You sound like my dad. He would tape everything on TV and stockpile it in a cabinet and watch maybe 10% of it. The rest was "for retirement." I think he has the entire run of Seinfeld archived in there, which is less impressive now that you can get pretty much everything on DVD.

And he's been retired for four years now and hasn't watched any of it.

Or maybe people just came in bought them because of the sale.

I know when we went in Monday they had copies of Cooking Mamma, Super Mario Sunshine, and a lot of copies of MK: A in.

Then when we went back yesterday to get Cooking Mamma, Super Mario Sunshine, and Brain Age...they were sold out of the first two. Not to mention they were getting pretty low on MK: A.

So don't blame the store, blame the sale or blame yourself for not getting the games sooner.

Wow...Both TRUs within a reasonable distance of me started with crap selection of DS games (I know because I scouted them out last week) and added nothing in terms of shipments this week (that goes for more copies of old games AND new releases). I've checked 2 or 3 times at each and no new games arrived. Just got more picked over. Pathetic.

No they have not even got them in stock yet. I have spoke to each of these stores everyday since Sunday and they have not even recieved the initial shipment of copies before the sale. :bomb:

They will most likely hold these titles back until after the sale. They did this last year also.

Well you could always buy games priced the same as the ones you want and try to exchange them for them when your store does get them in stock. At the very least you can just return them for a full refund if they dont.

My ToysRUs has just about everything still. The only title I haven't seen is Contact. I could still walk in and purchase 3 copies of Okami if I wanted, no problem. Maybe once I become a bit more established on this site I will start trading with its users. SoCal stores seem to always carry an overbundance of categories (not just ToysRUs).

What I did today is buy Justice League and Mortal Kombat for PS2 and will exchange them for the xbox versions later. I made sure they could do this before I made the purchase and they said it would be fine.

So all in all I think it finally worked out but still a pain.

They let me exchange a title for another. What they did was was returned all 3 from the receipt and recalculate the B2G1 free with the new title. I paid the difference for the better title. They may have only let me exchange the title cause the promotion is still going on but i highly doubt it. Seems more like YMMV

I'm really kicking myself, the first store I went to in CT on Sunday had SC:DA 360, but I didn't get it cuz they didn't have anything else I wanted. Now I'm back in NYC and no one has it.

Three trips tho, got:

Baten Kaitos: Origins
Okami
Valkyrie Profile 2

Ultimate Spiderman (GC)
Psychonauts (Xbox)
Advent Rising (Xbox - what the hell it was like $8 after the deal)

Scooby Doo: Who's Watching Who PSP (These games are surprisingly fun!)
God of War
Final Fantasy X (to replace the copy my best friend's husband sold after I lent it to them - so sad I have to get the GH version now...)

So like 9 games for about $170.

I was at the Times Square Store today, they have PSU and Marvel Ultimate for every platform BUT 360 (I remember last year they held some titles back from this sale too.) They had Magical Starsign, but no Contact. Too bad about the reviews for MS, it looked like it was gonna be sweet.

Nothing new at East Brunswick, NJ store. I ended up price-matching at BB:

I have a question regarding returns. I've confirmed that I can indeed exchange the games within 30 days at my store. However, I bought Okami, Lego Star Wars II, and Magical Starsign. I bought Lego Star Wars II as my exchange item, but it is not the free item. I intend to exchange it for Contact if/when they get it in. Now, my question is since my exchange item is $40 plus tax, what will happen when I get a $35 plus tax game? Will I get the excess money back? Can I only exchange for a game from $40 to $35 (the price range required to keep my buy 2 get 1 free)?

Also, should I wait for Fatal Frame III to drop? My TRU has some, but with the next generation coming soon ... I'm thinking drops on all older games.

I bought Black, Exit, and Cooking Mama on Sunday (one for me, two for gifts) and went back yesterday to get Ultimate Alliance for PS2 (along with Okami and Bully). Even though I could see copies of Ultimate Alliance behind the register in the glass case, the guy said the game is not on sale at Toys R Us until sometime between "the 26th and November 9th". Huh? Anyone else have this problem? I figure maybe they're just holding on to it until the sale is over, but in years past I seem to recall even new releases being included.

If the other 2 games were $40 games, it will be recalculated to make the $35 game the freebie, hence getting you 0 back.

Was surprised to see Touch Detective there, although I was also hoping for Contact.

When they have an abundance of Touch Detective and no Contact, both equally niche, it's time for us to all give up. I was so close to getting what I wanted today though. BB had Contact, Rocket Slime and Dawn of Sorrow and the clerk asked about matching and he told me they would!... but only if the other store had them in stock! (sound of me deflating) Oh so close and yet oh so far.

So anyway I gave in and picked up Trauma Center, Touch Detective and LSW 2 and hopefully be able to trade LSW in for Rocket Slime at another store. Might trade Touch Detective too since the reviews have been kind of dismal, but the only thing I can think of to replace it is FIFA 07. Problem there is for virtually the same price I can get the XBox versions.

The glitch is really not that great. At most it saves you 20% on one game which is not red tagged, but even then it is HIGHLY specific to the games you are getting. Most people will not find or want two red tag games and a normal game that is a slightly lower price. Basically, don't try to get the glitch to work, unless those three particular games were actually the games you wanted.

Definitely true. But, 20% is still a nice percentage. It isn't the free for all that the green tag games were, although if the Red Tag Clearance ever gets higher. . .

I wanted all three games that I picked up, and if anyone else can take advantage of that, it makes a good deal better, and that's what we're all about. =)

I looked today at TRU and was disappointed in what I found. Was hoping to find Contact but no luck. They did have Magical Starsign but it was $35, even though it's $30 at Best Buy. And they were down to one copy of Clubhouse Games (I was going to pick one up for myself and a 2nd for a gift) so I decided to pass. With Contact and Magical Starsign being $35, it suddenly isn't such a great deal compared to buying them for $25 with the GGC, really only save $5 which isn't really worth having to buy 3 games when their selection wasn't what I was hoping.

The ratio, unfortunately is about 75% sealed games to opened.

I WANT to play all/most of these games. I simply never have time.

The biggest problem is that many of these newer games take 80 hours or so. That would take me months to get through, and that's just one game.

Hell, I still haven't even played the Grand Theft Auto III that I have sealed.

Well, I'll get to them someday...;)


Yeah sales like this are pretty crazy, i've picked up around 17 or so games this week (not all from the sale) I've lost track of some of my total numbers but I have aruond 170 DS games (there are about 10 in the US that I dont own) I have 69/69 360 games, around 450 xbox games, around 500 ps2 games, around 140 or so gcn games, around 110 psp games.

Okay, so I could get 3 titles. For example: Splinter Cell DA (360), Marvel Ultimate Allicance (360), and Enchanted Arms (360). Wait around for F.E.A.R to be released and return it for Enchanted Arms. Is this acceptable?

This sale sucked so bad....My local Toys R us Got one copy of MUA on 360 and the employee sold it to his best buddy who was getting it when i was there.

No PSU, no Valkyrie Profile 2, no Disgaea 2, no Devil Summoner...They had like nothing....

my local toys r us had 6 trauma centers but the person said someone came and bought all 6 at one time.

Toys r us sucks now. Not just for the video games ...but toys too. Wal mart and target get all the good stuff.

After stalking Toys R Us for a few days, I was able to exchange a game I bought for the newly arrive Touch Detective. They still didn't have Contact, so I guess I'll be waiting on playing that one. I have a ton of games to play right now anyway.

So in the end I got:
Dalmations & Friends
Clubhouse Games
Touch Detective

I went on sunday and picked up 6 games and then I was in there today and surprisingly they had tons of games left much more so than the previous years. I think people are saving their money for Wii and PS3 this year.

I ended up picking up 3 more today: Okami, Baten Kaitos 2 and Legend of Heroes 2

Heh, oh yeah, I'm supposed to be saving my money for the Wii. Eeep...

But seriously, I noticed that Toys R Us is doing okay at replenishing, but some of the goodies were gone from the Greenville, SC Toys R Us. On Tuesday, they seemed to have full stock, but as of yesterday, Harvest Moon, Dalmations & Friends, MegaMan -- all seemed to be gone. Definitely no Trauma Center or Phoenix Wright.

As much as I want to go pick up more games, I have to pay for another school semester next week.

That guy was jerking yer chain. We never get just one copy of a new game. Only time there may be a single copy arriving is if it's a replensihment shipment, typically consisting of older games, pc games and cd's.

my toys r us doesn't have any of the games i want (tales of the abyss/devil summoner/bully for ps2 or splinter Cell/Marvel for 360). I was able to price match at Circuit City but they didn't have any of the PS2 games either. So I got Double Agent, Marvel Ultimate Alliance and another Double Agent for a friend. They charged me $40 for each game instead of giving me one for free. This basically means I can't return any of the games for something else =/.

I think I'll wait until Saturday to see if CC or TRU gets Devil summoner/ Tales of the Abyss in stock. If they don't, I'll just buy 3 $50 games at TRU and take my chances at exchanging. If not, I can just return for full money back.

I does still work you just need to add them to the cart like before. However on things like Ultimate Alliance, it wont work, because the site still lists it as a preorder.

I went back to my B&M today and finally found:

SC Double Agent YEAH!

I also got Saints Row and Dead Rising.

I plan on trading Saints Row back in for PSU when they get some for 360 and Dead Rising will probably drop before Christmas so I will probably trade it back in for something else. After the deals over. :D (My store has already approved exchanges after the deal for me.)

Currently considering:
Call of Duty 3
Project 8
Rainbow Six Vegas

My TRU had PSU but only for PS2.

I was thinking of sitting this round out, but that free shipping deal combined with the 20 dollars off orders over 100 just forced me to bite. I would have waited till tomorrow to see what else comes around, but I didn't want to take a chance on them changing the terms of the offers (aka making it so you can't stack them).

So, for 129.89 (tax included), I got the following:

X360 Hitman: Blood Money
X360 Tomb Raider Legend
DS Metroid Prime Hunters
DS Mario vs. DK 2
DS Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team
DS Star Fox Command

Over all, that should have cost me 195 before tax (which in Chicago, would have normally pushed things over 210 dollars) and and additional six bucks for shipping. So I saved around 90 bucks when it was all said and done... I love this sale!

Appears the game has to be notated as eligble for the B2G1 promotion, which rules out pre-orders and several of the best recent releases like Touch Detective, Magical Starsign, etc.

Since my local TRU sold out of MUA (360), I went to BB to price match for 3 360 games (all $60). At first, they were reluctant, and then I told them that other BBs were allowing this. So they called TRU to make sure it was legit. To price match, they charged me 40/game (SP:DA, TWoods 07, and MUA). I asked them if I could use my 2 GGCs and when she scanned them, she got both of them to work. Wish I had 3.

Then I tried to get the 1600 pts (since i was buying 360 games). Unfortunately, the 5$ price didn't pop up on the register, so I didn't push it and told them I didn't want them. Wonder if I "reminded" them of their deal, I could have gotten 3 1600 pt cards for 15$ along w/ the 3 games. Oh well - may go back w/ my receipt and see if I can get the cards before the sale ends.

the 20$ off 100$ online is a better deal (vs. 3 GGCs for 15$ off), but it sounds like some recent games are not available. If you can get the pts at BB for 5$ w/ this deal, that would be even sweeter.

this may be YMMV since there seems to be some BBs and CCs not price matching

I've bought so much and it would be so ddificult to do returns and mix and match, and since I don't wnat to opurchase anymore, I'm just not going to take advantage of this new coupon. I just wish it had shown up earlier.

But I am definately not spending any more on games.

10-27-2006, 04:36 PM
I did notice the Web site has a shipping date of 10/28 for both Touch Detective and Magical Starsign, which makes me wonder if they will be eligible for the online B2G1 as of tomorrow, the last day of the deal. Guess we'll see.

You know that price-matching is extremely YMMV. Policy-wise, BB and CC don't match special offers like that b/c it's not technically proce-matching.

The only reason BB is stil in business is because of convenience. They are run by a bunch of idiots and none of them have any idea of what it is like to be nice to customers. I have shopped in at least 7 different BB's and 90% of the time I get some idiot helping me or someone who is rude. I used to like them a lot until I had to actually start getting service on my laptop and bigscreen, then everything went downhill from there.

True, before christmas this poor guy was trying to buy games for his 8 year old niece and the guy helping him was giving him all these just released M rated games that were way questionable for a 8 year old girl. The guy ask if I knew anything about games and I said, yeah those games are way too expensive if you don't even know if she will like them. So I gave him We Love Katamari and the Greatest Hits of Sly 2. Any being the CAG I am, I also gave him two gamers gift cards and told him to use the coupons on the back to get $5 off on each game. The guy thanked me again after he got through the check out register for all the money I helped him save that day.

Picked up Soul Calibur III, Shadow of the Colossus, and Pokemon Leaf Green. An interesting observation is that my TRU was selling "certified" pre-owned games. There were several copies of Crimson Skies for 4.99 that said not for resale on the cover. No wonder why all the XBL 12 month kits were gone...

So I come home to check online.

And its no longer online, even though the ad says to 10/28.

The deal is still online. It's just not advertised on the main page. You can still combine the B2G1 deal online with the $20 off $100. I just did it.

So essentially, you save an additional $14 on top of the B2G1. Better than nothing.

Finally. I managed to get SC: DA. Interestingly, I came out with a slightly better than 1.5x return on investment. When I went to exchange Steambot Chronicles, the CRM did a return for the full amount (49.98, as it wasn't the free one). At that point I essentially had a buy 1 get 1 free from one of my original batches of 3 (Disgaea2, VP2, Steambot...). But I had come all that way so I was going to get my Splinter Cell, damnit. Unfortunately, SC rang up at 59.99, but that's OK cause I grabbed MK:A and the new Tony Hawk DS for free. Could have done that more efficiently but there weren't any other games 50+ that i was interested in that aren't going to drop soon. Still, I still came out with 1.55x worth of games than I paid for :D I kinda got a buy 3 get 2 free. Anyway, if anyone still wants SC: DA near chicagoland, there are 3 more copies at the 75th St Downers Grove IL location next to Gamestop, just a shame it's 59.99 now.

10-27-2006, 11:07 PM
For some reason, they charged a few dollars for the 3rd game. On your order, the 3rd Guitar Hero was $6.66. Still a good deal though because the $100 minimum is before the buy 2 get 1 free so you can get 3, $39.99 games for a little over $70

Hmm, now it seems liek the 20 off 100 won't stack. I did mangage to get an order through though when it did stack, but theres another problem. My card has been charged, yet no confirmation or order statues in my tru account. Looks like ill be callingt hem up tomorrow...damn it.

I hope I get my confirmation too, I should have taken a screen caputre I guess or printed out something since there is no mention of the order on my account.

I ended up paying the $6.66 for my 3rd game which I don't care about since with the $20 off, I still got an extra $13.33 off the order compared to buying it in store (got free shipping)

We just got in the Devil May Cry 5 year Anniversary set, consisting of DMC 1, 2 and 3 special edition for $29.99. I was contemplating getting that and two others, while using my associate discount and the 20% off any one item card. Like 5 games for ~$50... but I really don't have the money.

Hey sp00ge, I picked this up today. Was wondering if you knew whether or not TRU was getting the collector's set of Resident Evil for GameCube.

Done this deal twice. First with some DS games as gifts to younger family and another time for some stuff for me. Both had to be done as PMs because the one TRU I went to was cleaned out of most of the new releases or anything remotely good. This also goes without saying that I was treated with the utmost rudeness and disrespect by one of the employees there. I'm standing there asking him to check and see if he has a certain game in stock and he just stands there with this blank fucking stare at me and does not respond. Does not help. Spoke to a manager and I hope he gets fired. For the amount of money I was about to drop, you'd think he'd act with a bit of courtesy. Fucking moron. Might do this again tomorrow for some DS games for myself, but I already have most of anything I'd want, but I really want Magical Starsign and Contact.

Went down for Marvel UA, Tiger Woods 07, and Spinter Cell DA (all 360). Not one copy. What the hell? I mean they are losing a guaranteed sale here! Might just buy three crappy 360 games and exchange them when they get the copies I want.

Online, at least.

I went on one last search for Devil Summoner and came up empty-handed in that department, although I pretty much broke down under the weight of the deal in a classic CAG moment and just asked the cashier what he recommended.

Came up with Valkyrie Profile 2, Okami, and Yakuza - all games I inevitably wanted to get anyway.

Okay nevermind, for some reason it wasn't coming for a few minutes and then I got it to work. Picked up the following.

Hitman: Blood Money (360)
Need For Speed Most Wanted (360)
Flatout 2 (PS2)

All for $69.

I did this deal the other day with The Outfit, Tomb Raider and Condemned (all for 360) and the sales girl took 10% off with the Deal or No Deal coupon, so I got 3 $30 games for less than $60 total, or the way I like to think about it, $20 per game.

I'm going back to the other TRU today that I haven't gone to since the dreaded Pokemon download day. That afternoon, I couldn't get any help in there to save my life, but I'm hoping that some of the red tag stuff is still gonna be there...

This sale was a joke this year, I've been using it every year since 2001 and it was just impossible this time. I've never had a problem going into TRU and getting whatever I wanted, but between them making nothing available online and having nothing in the store it was pointless. It's no wonder they're closing stores left and right, I'm never going to bother with them again.

amusedtoe
10-28-2006, 03:13 PM
Well I think a large part of it is that it's a victim of timing this year. A lot of the stuff from the recent past is scarce because they've been doing clearance and aren't necessarily restocking these games when they're trying to make room for two new systems and the holiday games. Then by the other hand the good new stuff isn't available yet either because of release dates or a lack of hurry to get this weeks releases on the shelf. Would we all have enjoyed it more if they'd done it a couple weeks earlier or later? Sure, but it is what it is.

I'm just trying not to go back to TRU today and pick up another set of games, that's the last thing I need to do. Now I just need to keep convincing myself that Ultimate Alliance probably isn't that good (and not getting the characters the 360 gets is a horrible injustice) so I can't make a $40 set and that I probably won't find anything to finish a $20 set either. Yea that will probably wear down about 5 hours from now and I'll rush in there before close.

To think I was trying to pay off my credit card. :P

I agree with PSU, but you know what, they didn't even have to include 360 games at all. So quit bitching. They could have limited it to just GC, XB and PS2 like in years past.

My store had marvel in stock almost all week and still has a ton of NBA 2k7 in stock.

$710.16 by my calculator.

WTF? :shock: :shock: :shock:

Yep, that's about right.

(202.75, 43.38, 303.04, and 155 and some change.)

WTF?

Well, I look at it this way. I can afford it (for starters), and it's like a price drop to $20 for games that were $30, and a drop to $27 for games that were $40.

If I saw drops like that at Target (or whatever), I'd have bought them anyway.

Now the problem is just finding the time to play them. However, I'm not in a hurry (since I have a 1 week old, it's kind of tough.)

BS this year...they never restocked Splinter Cell 360 at 4 of my local stores since the sale started on sunday.

Waste of time, and yes, no wonder why TRU has been going to the dogs.

I didn't see the sign earlier in the week so I don't know if it's new but if you buy DDR Supernova ($40), Extreme 2 ($40), or Max 2 ($30) you get a free shitty Pelican home pad (regularly overpriced at $20). Buy 2 DDR games get two shitty home pads AND a free game for a total cost of ~$85 or ~$75 if one of your games is Max 2. Not too shabby if you ask me.

Sorry if this has been said a million times already. I'm not reading through the entire thread...

I don't see how you guys are bitching.

It's a toy store, not a video game store.

Sometimes they just don't get new releases the same day due to it not being high on their priority list.

Was I frustrated they were sold out of Marvel UA? Yes, but I'm not going to boycott the fucking store over it.

Grow up people.

I don't think so, actually I think they are quite good at that.

I see tons of stuff that even Wal*Mart, Target, or Meijer carry.

I went today to get a few games, but it was such a mess there, no new releases on the shelves for 360, I just passed. I was basically just going to EBAY 2 games to recoup the cost anyways....no big loss for me.

I went today hoping to at least find a few games I wanted.
BUT it looked like they are holding the new releases in the stock room until after the sale ends. I didn't see anything realeased in the past 2 weeks...

SOOOooo... I just headed to Gamestop since they still had the B2G1 sale going on used games. I swear if it wasn't for the sale I wouldn't have gone, SERVICE THERE SUCKS! I found my 3 games and went to check out. The cashier takes the cases and asks if I had their discount card, well I don't anymore (let it expire because I RARELY go there). After I said no I don't, she starts going through the whole speech o the card and how it would be just $10 now and I would get a discount and blah blah blah.... I interrput her and just say "no sorry I don't want the card, I don't shop here that often". Well was that good enough for her... NOPE she kept pushing trying to convince me to get the card, she even started telling me that she has seen me in there several times in the past few weeks... ummm hello I was in last week ONCE because of the B2G1 sale and before that it had been at least 5 months and even then unless there was a sale I didn't buy anything. After I tell her that I hadn't been in there but once in MONTHS she gets an attitude and slows down and takes her sweet fucking time getting my games. Fucking B***H could your pushing attitude and poor service be why I would rather drive 30 miles to a different store than shop at your store...

I got Taito greatest hits for 19.99,then Tetris worlds for PS2 for 11.XX Originally 14.95 but got the 20% TRU red sticker discount,the free game was digdug for the DS.(10.48) Spent about 35.XX .Got home and looked at the avg ratiengs for the games. Tetris Worlds got a bad rating. So I wanted to retun it. I brought my reciept and the Customer rep scanned the game and I got 20.xx back for it and I wasnt asked what about the free game. I guess thats a good thing or else they wouldhave to charge me for it or I would have to find something else to buy for the b2g1 promo. That's it. Also, Ther were people lined up already for the PS3,I dont know if its for a stub or the real thing but I know that my local TRU is only getting 6 PS3s. (pinole,Ca)

Oh how I'm weak. Went to TRU and was going to constrain myself to a DS set. They didn't have anything I felt strongly about so I was going to happily get Cooking Mama and AoE but gasp not a single other $20 title I could find that wasn't junk. So I started doing math, and this is where stories always start to go wrong, and getting a $30 game instead of a $20 didn't hurt the deal that much I was going to grab Star Fox out of grudging. Though I was still torn. Then I started doing some more math, real trouble now, and $80 isn't that much worse and so I gave in. Grabbed Fifa 07, LSW2 and Marvel all for XBox.

Now I really need to not buy anything until next year. Oh wait I reserved Portrait of Ruin already... and failed to get Contact from this... ah I'm screwed.

Okay, able to get Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Splinter Cell: DA, and Tiger Woods 07 all for the 360. I asked the person in charge if I would have any problems if I needed for some reason to exchange a game for another . She told me as long as its sealed and comes with a reciept, no problem. Yes! Trading Tiger Woods for F.E.A.R!

I know what you mean, but sometimes they genuinely are trying to offer you the card to help you. I used to always say NO THANKS but I traded in about $150 worth of games a month ago, and took the time to listen to the associate. Basically the subscription to Game Informer and the card costs $15, and by getting the card, it added an extra 10% to my $150 for an extra $15, which paid for the free year subscription.

If you bought at least $100 worth of goods (basically 2 360 games or 2 new PS2 games), you should have gone for it because the 10% pays for a year of gaming magazines along with the membership.

I went to a local Bestbuy the other day to PM this and was denied.

Today I went to another Bestbuy and scored Tales of Abyss, Bully, and Splinter Cell DA. I don't reallty want SCDA but I used it as a placeholder especially since I won't be going back to the Bestbuy which actually Pm'd it for ahwile.

Since SCDA was one of the games I actually paid for do you think the hardass local BB, will let me exchange SCDA for Marvel UA? Should I rip the reciept off after splinter cell? (If they ask me waht happened to the rest I'll just say "I didn't need the excess paper")

Picked up 5 Mario DDR's and Okami a few hours ago. I waited all week and the DDR's did not move... I think they are a good investment.
