[tito1183]

i was gonna get zak and wiki with smash bros but this seems like a better deal. might as well wait till next week.

[62t]

hmm you could get 2 $30 game for $40

[NAmato]

hmm you could get 2 $30 game for $40

My thoughts exactly...Zack and Wiki, RE4, and House of the Dead 2+3 come to mind as $29.99 titles.

[CocheseUGA]

My thoughts exactly...Zack and Wiki, RE4, and House of the Dead 2+3 come to mind as $29.99 titles.

Holy shit, you're right. Z/W and House, here I come. Screw Brawl.

[kevzik]

Decent ad at least. Thanks OP

[iNCREDiPiNOY]

Does it count with Blu-Ray? Meaning, I can get I Am Legend and Enchanted for 50% off.

[striker199]

Does it count with Blu-Ray? Meaning, I can get I Am Legend and Enchanted for 50% off.

I'm hoping so, it says ENTIRE stock

[Sharp Katana]

Better deal than this week. Going to pick up house of the dead and some other game. I'm finally playing my wii again lol.

[MidnightMetal]

I'm hoping so, it says ENTIRE stock

yeah I highly doubt it, granted they probably be advertising it, and my TRU hasn't really gotten many Blu-rays since that buy 1 get one 1 free deal couple months back, so for the Blu-rays I'm pretty sure it counts for the DVD versions, but hey worth argueing :D(of course YMMV)

[Vinny]

The $10 of a 2nd DS game is tempting... seeing as how there's a ton of DS games I want at the moment.

[MasterYensid]

Does the DVD deals include Blu-ray's per chance?

[msdmoney]

The Wii deal is tempting but I already have a lot of the $30 games.

[JJSP]

Awesome, thanks! Zack & Wiki and HOTD will be mine. I'm glad I waited.

[Friend of Sonic]

Choice of either Petz Bunnyz or Petz Tigerz
What? How many fucking Petz games can they make?

[thePhildown]

Does the DVD deals include Blu-ray's per chance?


Next week, there's a B1G1 Free Bluray deal at Target and a B2G1 Free Bluray deal at Circuit City. On selected titles of course, but I'm sure it adds up to more than what Toys R' Us has in stock.

[rjung]

Someone have a list of $30 Wii games handy?

--R.J.

[Organ Donor]

thanks OP. I'll be buying some Wii games next week

[sp00ge]

What? How many fucking Petz games can they make?

As many as they can sell.... apparently.

[NAmato]

Someone have a list of $30 Wii games handy?

--R.J.

Here's a link to the TRU website showing Wii games and accessories priced between $20 and $30. Hope it helps. I don't see Zack and Wiki though, probably due to it being part of the Brawl 50% off deal.

http://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?categoryId=2290625&fr=StorePrice%2FTRUS%2F00002001%2F00003000&fbc=1&fbn=StorePrice%7C%2420.01+-+%2430.00

[Masterkyo]

Yes, i wait till next week to get Zack and Wiki, House of the Dead 2+3 for $40 plus taxes :)

[clortho]

Awesome deal! I'm glad my Smash Bros pricematch worked with another game. Zack and Wiki and HOTD it is!!

[konmai]

damn. I already got my Smash Bros. & No More Heroes over at BB. The TRU deals seems pretty good. 8-)

[62t]

hmm bombermanland and endless ocean for me

[YoshiFan1]

I'm hoping for a glitch that will allow it to work on games under $9.99 games for the DS and under $19.99 games for the Wii

[JokerCard]

I think Ghost Squad and HOTD sound good....then Ill pick up that Nyko gun...

[mitch079]

I'll probably go with Ghost Squad and House of the Dead 2/3.

[JJSP]

Someone have a list of $30 Wii games handy?

--R.J.
The quick ones that come to mind are Bomberman Land, Zak and Wiki, Cooking Mama, Endless Ocean, Resident Evil 4, House Of The Dead 2/3, Ghost Squad, and Godfather Blackhand.

[smoger]

how dare you omit Ninjabread Man!

:lol:

[smoger]

it's official. i'm never going to dig myself out from my pile of video games.

does anyone know if the Williams Collection Pinball for Wii is $30 ? I don't see it on TrU's website, but I'd love to pick that up along with either HoTD or Ghost Squad(or RE4?)

[Justin42]

Hrm, already have Ghost Squad and Z&W, but definitely want to get HoTD... this could get tricky. :)

[Guero]

Good deal. HOD & Sega Bass Fishing for $40.

[rjung]

Wonder if the Wii Zapper qualifies for this deal. If so, Zapper + Ghost Squad sounds like a winning combination.

--R.J.

[joshnorm]

Sigh, I already have Zack and Wiki I guess I could get another one and trade it or get HotD x2 (for my brother) if they will let me do that.

[darkclawsofchaos]

Wonder if the Wii Zapper qualifies for this deal. If so, Zapper + Ghost Squad sounds like a winning combination.

--R.J.

Depends, is TRU still overcharging for it?, if they are at $25, its possible, but if its now $19.99, then doubt it

[Veronica Mars]

Has HOTD been confirmed at 30$?

[rapsodist]

Thanks for the post, MidnightMetal! You've been one of my favorite CAGs since breaking the news on the Mario Galaxy deal. Good to see that you're posting the TRU ads on a regular basis now.

I'll be waiting to hear details on that $10 off coupon. I actually am interested in Buzz, so it may serve me well regardless of the coupon's restrictions. And would the noon-4pm period apply to every day of that week?

[zegota]

Anyone know if the TRU unadvertised sale that is putting RE:UC at $29.99 will still be active at this time? I didn't want to spend any more this month, but Z/W and RE:UC for $40 would be pretty hard to pass up.

[rapsodist]

VashandWolfwood posted (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4063724&postcount=17) in that other thread that his TRU put up signs for the sale that indicate it ends on Saturday.

[iceblast21]

--R.J.

That's actually a great idea... the Wii Zapper...

The website still lists it as $24.99, so I would say this should work!
I have no idea why every gaming mag (i.e. EGM) keeps referring to the Zapper set as $20. I've never seen it for $20!!! I only see it for $25. Unless we're talking a CAG-discovered sale or something.

[clortho]

[Voxxen]

Yeah the zapper retails at $20, but a LOT of places mark it up to $25. I picked up my copy for $20... I forget where though...

[Justin42]

Best Buy has it for $19.99.

[MidnightMetal]

Hey thanks rapsodist I really appreciate it, and I try to get the ads as soon as I can so I can post them. Yeah that Mario Deal was amazing, I was surprised that I was the one to get it out first!8-)

As far as the Buzz deal it lists Saturday March 22nd Noon-4pm only, (I'll update OP now) Though still no word on if $10 off is for they Buzz/singstar game or not.

[rlse9]

Dumb question that I'm sure has been asked many times before: Do these deals apply online and how is TRU for shipping?

[Veronica Mars]

Was there a recent Super Mario Deal?
Or was it the one where you get a 25 dollar gift card?

[MidnightMetal]

No not that I know of, I was talking about the Mario Galaxy TRU deal w/ $25 giftcard deal back in November

[Veronica Mars]

K.
I wanna try Zak and Wii/HOTD or Ocean and HOTD, but I don't wanna drive over they and they are out of stock, or they deny it for whatever reason :/

[xl_prankster_lx]

2 Wii games for 40 bucks a pop is not too bad.

[KoA]

DS Deal seems nice - thanks

[prim4444]

I took a look at the ad this morning. It looks like the coupon will only be good for those games that are being demo'd that day. The $10 coupon is only valid for one day only (3/22 - Stated in the fine print in the ad), but, I havn't seen the actual coupon yet.

[drawingboard]

Thanks

[Busyman]

Hmmm...

I never opened my copies of SSBB and Zack & Wiki.

I return them to get $5 more off of Zack & Wiki.

I originally got it $15. Now it will be $10.

[Masterkyo]

I'll get Sega House of the Dead 2 & 3 and Sega Bass Fishing or another $30 GREAT Game.

[JJSP]

Midnight is quickly becoming one of my favorite posters. Cheap Wii games are always nice.

[bryan78]

Seems like a decent deal for No More Heroes and Nights. I'll drop by TRU on Fri and pick them up if they have them, then PM next week.

[TheSummoner207]

Great deal! Has anyone seen Victorious Boxers at TRU?

[CocheseUGA]

How crappily does TRU treat you when you price adjust?

I want to get these tonight, but I'm not sure where from.

[gareman]

hmmmmm house of dead and something else. Will they have house of the dead? I remember reading on here that TRU was done with mature rated games after Halo 3. They have M games on the website and I see a few here and there in-store.

[Veronica Mars]

I would get the PS2 set, but the wireless controllar probably suck, and I want a white one :/

[MidnightMetal]

Midnight is quickly becoming one of my favorite posters. Cheap Wii games are always nice.

Thanks JJSP, I appreciate it!

[CocheseUGA]

I asked in the other thread, but any stores actually get HotD on time this week, or is it a week later like on the website?

[rapsodist]

hmmmmm house of dead and something else. Will they have house of the dead? I remember reading on here that TRU was done with mature rated games after Halo 3. They have M games on the website and I see a few here and there in-store.

I believe that was a misconception that arose from the Manhunt 2 controversy in which some stores refused to carry it. Around the same time, TRU stopped shelving M games on the floor, opting to keep them in the glass cases behind the registers. Ask and you shall receive, as they say.

[Veronica Mars]

Well, the two 30$ game for 40 is gone, right?
Someone said it was fixed today.

I'm not sure what you mean, I updated the OP today with a 2 day Fri. Sat. deal, is that the "fixed" post you where talking about?

[Veronica Mars]

Maybe I saw wrong.
I thought people were saying that the items were full price now.
That the prices were "fixed."

[abducted vision]

Hopefully my TRU will have HotD.

Planning to pick that up, as well as Cooking Mama for the sis (she loves that game a lot for the ds). Thanks OP.

[greyzieoriental]

will this be online too?

I am going to have to bust out my trench coat and dark sunglasses for this.

"Do you have ummm...any *cough* House of the Dead?!?"

[0192837465]

zack and wiki + resident evil 4

[Grecco]

When is the easter sale? I want Cars

[cheapwiigamer]

HoD and Ghost Squad for $40. That seems like a good deal to me. Thanks OP, I'll be sure to take a look at this.

[Fatal Snipe]

Is there any place I can print this out? I have a bunch of bb gift cards and I would like to use a price match.

[bryan78]

www.toysrus.com (http://www.toysrus.com) The ad isn't up yet though.

[miriamleo]

Some good $30 Wii Games:

House of the Dead 2+3
Endless Ocean
Zack & Wiki
Sega Bass Fishing
Resident Evil 4
Sonic & the Secret Rings
Ghost Squad

[vgmben]

i guess it's not a bad deal for two games but I want house of the dead now.... so oh well
and i doubt they have williams pinball... only other game that interest me is zak and wiki....and I might not even like that.

[jug_head_4ever]

I am going to have to bust out my trench coat and dark sunglasses for this.

"Do you have ummm...any *cough* House of the Dead?!?"

I visualized it in my mind - & just kept on laughing...& laughing.....& laughing :lol:

[Justin42]

Has anyone seen HotD in-store yet? I definitely want to try to get it and Sega Bass Fishing. I wonder if I should get a filler game and return it later in the week?

[Veronica Mars]

Redwood City Store didn't get HOTD.
The manager of R-Zone said they don't know when, if at all, they will get it.

[takotchi]

I'm debating whether I should go over there tomorrow or not. Last time there was a sale on games like this, they also had Wiis in stock and there was a line wrapped around the inside of the store and out the door.

Problem is, they made you wait in line regardless of whether you wanted one or not. I eventually got my games, but it probably wasn't worth the hours wasted standing in line... :cry:

[JokerCard]

Is it possible to price adjust for when we bought Smash Bros and the other half off game?
That way we can get another $20 off since we really did buy 2 games (although with another promotion)
I know you probably cant but I thought it wouldnt hurt to ask...

[VashandWolfwood]

The $10 coupon given at the Sony Event on Saturday(3/22) is only for Singstar/Buzz games. I read the event info this morning.

[paddlefoot]

Is the Wii Zapper w/ Link's Crossbow Training considered an accessory?

I am guessing it probably would be as the Zapper is the featured item. Just want to check, as I would like to get 2 Zappers.

[JJSP]

How crappily does TRU treat you when you price adjust?

I want to get these tonight, but I'm not sure where from.
Not crappily at all. They just process it as a return and a rebuy - I did it no problem when they had the Guitar Hero II bundles on sale for 50% off around Christmas.

[John*smom]

Do the stores still have the original Wii Rayman Raving Rabbids game? It can't still be $50 right? I would like to give this to my nephews as their Easter gift.

[MidnightMetal]

The $10 coupon given at the Sony Event on Saturday(3/22) is only for Singstar/Buzz games. I read the event info this morning.

Hey thanks VashandWolfwood for the update, I updated the OP for the mention of the $10 off the Singstar/Buzz games.

[blueweltall]

The deal is up online now. Just pick up Super Smash Bro and Zack & Wiki. Got both for $41. Finally got rid of the $25 gc from Mario Galaxy.

[Sway]

It appears that some $20 Wii and games are available for the promo. Gonna order My Word Coach and Dewy's Adventure for $20 + tax/shipping. Mario Kart Wii also appears to be part of the promo.

[bojay1997]

Unfortunately, a lot of the $30 games I wanted are not included in the on-line deal. Looks like I'm going to have to try a store tomorrow.

[Justin42]

Hrrm, the 2 I wanted are online but I hate their shipping charges... at the same time it'd save a lot of hassle waiting to see if HOTD shows up in store....

What to do, what to do...

[Veronica Mars]

Is the sale going on today still?
I wanna get two 30 games.
I just haven't had the chance

[Justin42]

It started today. Goes til Saturday.

[ajh2298]

This sucks I want to pick up HOTD and Z&W and I know my local store has only Z&W in-stock. I could order on-line but I have a 15% off coupon I could use in-store only, that would bring my total to around $40.00 out the door, if I order on-line my total is close to $50.00.

On-line it shows the release date for HOTD as 3/18 do you think they will be getting in-store on that date also? If that is the case I might just take my chances and wait till later in the week and pick up at a B&M.

[glockant]

That's actually a great idea... the Wii Zapper...

The website still lists it as $24.99, so I would say this should work!
I have no idea why every gaming mag (i.e. EGM) keeps referring to the Zapper set as $20. I've never seen it for $20!!! I only see it for $25. Unless we're talking a CAG-discovered sale or something.

uhhh...

[glockant]

and will they actually have HotD?

their site says it releases on 3/18/08! lol, uh oh..

[mrodger]

It appears that some $20 Wii and games are available for the promo. Gonna order My Word Coach and Dewy's Adventure for $20 + tax/shipping. Mario Kart Wii also appears to be part of the promo.

Thanks for pointing out that the deal is working for $20 games online. I finally picked up Zack & Wiki and also got Dewy's Adventure. $26.93 shipped for both after using a $10 gift card I had been hanging onto for a long time.

[ajh2298]

I stopped at my TRU after breakfast to pick up my son some Fisher Price toys that were B1G1.
And I checked with the Video Game guy about HOTD and he checked in the back and came out with a print-out that showed that they should be getting it in with this weeks shipment of Wii games, so take that for whats it worth.

[shajek]

Thanks for pointing out that the deal is working for $20 games online. I finally picked up Zack & Wiki and also got Dewy's Adventure. $26.93 shipped for both after using a $10 gift card I had been hanging onto for a long time.


Is it possible that this will work in-store for the few games listed on the site at $19.99?

[gsrjedi]

I'm thinking of picking up Mario Kart Wii & effectively making Z/W $10. Does anyone know if TRU charges you for pre-orders now or when the item ships?

[Sway]

I'm thinking of picking up Mario Kart Wii & effectively making Z/W $10. Does anyone know if TRU charges you for pre-orders now or when the item ships?

When the item ships. In addition to Word Coach and Dewey's Adventure, I picked up Mario Kart Wii and HotD 2/3. The shipping was only $6.xx for all 4 games so it wasn't bad at all. It sees that they charge the shipping on the first package.

[QuickFix]

Damn, I caved last night and took the Smash Bros deal they had going last week for Smash Bros and Zak & Wiki. If I had just waited like 10 hours I could of saved myself $5...

I tried to cancel and reorder, but I guess I missed the deadline or something... damn you TRU, damn you!!!

[Morphine]

Any free shipping promo code?

[spideymike]

I may pick up Cars for either the 360 or Gamecube - especially if it's 50% off. My son would love that.

[msdmoney]

Thinking about preordering Mario Kart and Okami for the Wii with my $25 gift card, but I'm thinking it might be better to buy in store to avoid shipping. Has anyone used this deal on preorders in store?

[SpitFire158]

Went to TRU today and wanted to get HOTD but they didn't have it :(
but i got RE4 and Zack and Wiki :D

[ITDEFX]

PM'ed at BB! used some giftcards so I paid NOTHING out of pocket :)

[tito1183]

I went to get sega bass fishing, HOTD, Zak and Wiki, and cooking mama. All that they had was zak and wiki. They said HOTD was not even released :cry:. Damn TRU.

[ITDEFX]

I went to get sega bass fishing, HOTD, Zak and Wiki, and cooking mama. All that they had was zak and wiki. They said HOTD was not even released :cry:. Damn TRU.

HOTD comes out on Tuesday (according to the TRU web site), but it is unknown if it will be in store before the end of the week :-(

Hmm I really don't know if I should keep Zack and Wiki. Is it really that good?

[seanr1221]

I also PM'd at Best Buy.

Picked up HotD and Ghost Squad.

[andysavestheday]

price matched CC and got HOtD and MLB Power Pros (best game ever!), plus used 10% off gamersclub membership. Like 38$ after tax, great deal, thanks OP.

[abhinav]

Oh snap this is a good deal! I could get Z/W with MLB PP for $40... Hmmm i am glad i waited. Thanks OP

[Cry Havoc]

I also PM'd at Best Buy.

Picked up HotD and Ghost Squad.

Same, but got HotD and Z&W. Like others said, TRU said HotD comes out on Tuesday, so Best Buy gets my money this time.

[supaet]

haha, cc needs to hire better managers.

had this young and cute female manager do the pm for me, but she looked at the tru ad and thought it's $20 off EACH games, so I got RE4 and EO for $20+ tax

nice

[ITDEFX]

The only reason why I am doing this at bb is because I have a few gift cards that would cover it. It was that or dump whatever I had to gamestop and swallow my loss to get SSBB.

[ITDEFX]

haha, cc needs to hire better managers.

had this young and cute female manager do the pm for me, but she looked at the tru ad and thought it's $20 off EACH games, so I got RE4 and EO for $20+ tax

nice

my bb took off 10 dollars off EACH Autobot DS and Decepticon DS, so basically I got both a total of 20 bucks instead of a total of 30 bucks :-).

[smoger]

price matched at BB for HoTD and Ghost Squad..

the way they rung it up on the receipt, 1st game was full price, 2nd game was $10. i know some frown upon this stuff,.. but if one were so inclined it looks like you could repeat and return to end up with 2 games for $20.

[d3p0]

Mario Kart Wii + Okami = Pre-ordered

[cag1138]

Use your rewards card when you price match at bb. Not only did I get 20 dollars off but the rewards program is running a special. If you buy 2 wii games over 39.99 you get a free ten dollar gift card.

[ITDEFX]

Use your rewards card when you price match at bb. Not only did I get 20 dollars off but the rewards program is running a special. If you buy 2 wii games over 39.99 you get a free ten dollar gift card.

argh :bomb:

oh well it would have been one or the other....

so I walked out with SSBB for 39.99 and Z&W for 19.99.

Not bad considering the other best buy I went to shot me down.

[JokerCard]

I price adjusted my Zak and Wiki and Smash Bros purchase from last week. Got back $5.

[MidnightMetal]

Thanks for pointing out that the deal is working for $20 games online. I finally picked up Zack & Wiki and also got Dewy's Adventure. $26.93 shipped for both after using a $10 gift card I had been hanging onto for a long time.

It seems that the $20 Wii game or less exclusion doesn't apply. So if you get two $20 Wii games, it will take off the second Wii game, so it would come out to buy one get one free (if second title is $20 or less) This also applies to the DS game sale with the $10 off. Also this might be YMMV, worked in system in-store today.

[Archon29]

Thinking about preordering Mario Kart and Okami for the Wii with my $25 gift card, but I'm thinking it might be better to buy in store to avoid shipping. Has anyone used this deal on preorders in store?I'm wondering about that as well. I was going to buy Mario Kart anyway, so I might as well pick up another game with it to get $20 off.

[Master Sword]

Went to TRU today and found Zack and Wiki but they didnt have House of the Dead so I didnt get anything. :cry: I hope when I go back on tuesday they have HoTD. Today they only had 4 copies left for Zack and Wiki, I hope it wont sell out before TRU gets HoTD.

[Pure Apathy]

There are three games I want, but I can't decide which ones to get out of RE4 (have GC version), Zack and Wiki, and House of the Dead.

[JediBaja]

Coupon Alert!
Your TRU cashiers should be handing out a couple of coupons now. They come in a red mini-booklet about 2" w x 3" h called "Passport to Savings." The coupons are as follows:

- $5 off ANY purchase of $25 or more (valid 3/30-4/5)
- 15% off ANY one item (valid 4/6-4/12)

I know these won't help for the deals this week, but be sure to pick up a few of these while your taking advantage of the Wii/Ds promos while you're at the store.

[LiK]

seems like a good deal for the B&M stores only. with shipping and tax, the deal sucks online. i guess i'll need to take a drive to the closest TRU in my state this week.

[tito1183]

i went to bestbuy and they would not pricematch :bomb: bundles the games. They said they only pricematch but not for bundles. I was so upset!!! Anyone know where in NYC i might be able to pricematch cuz TRU does not have the games i want.

[CocheseUGA]

My CC wouldn't match, either. Even after I had bought the games last week.

I hate this town with a passion.

[shajek]

Mario Kart Wii + Okami = Pre-ordered

Did the same. Thought about Boom Blox, Blast Works, Baroque, but went with these two.

[mephitical]

Yep, definitely working online, even for Wii games less than $20. Which is just Puppy Luv ($16.99), but that puppy is soooo cute. So if you want that cute puppy, you could get Dewy's Adventure and Puppy Luv for around $20 shipped, even if you have sales tax.

[evophile]

NYC Times Square raised the price of Zak & Wiki to $39.99. I was in a rush, so I thought something was wrong but had to leave.

Have to go back after work and see if they will adjust the price. If not I'll just return it.

[tito1183]

I went to about 3 or 4 CC and BB in Manhattan, NYC and no one would pricematch the games!!!! What the hell? Anyone have luck pricematching in NYC? Please tell me where!!!

[CocheseUGA]

I really hope TRU gets HotD (or at least displays it) tomorrow, as I really don't want to own these games from CC.

[JJSP]

Bought Zack & Wiki along with Godfather Blackhand. Don't know how I feel about Godfather, but it looked fun for $10 and I'm not big on shooters. Anything I should have gotten other than Godfather?

[Busyman]

Took back SSBB and Zack & Wiki from last week (B1G1 50%OFF) and rebought them to get the extra $5 off.

SSBB $50
Z&W $10 (from $30)

[Archon29]

Well, it's a no go on pre-ordering Mario Kart in store. My TRU said they weren't taking pre-orders on it yet. Meh, I think I'll skip this deal and see if they run a Mario Kart promotion when the game comes out.

[CocheseUGA]

Godfather is great.

[Abalistar]

Got Zack and Wiki, and Ghost Squad for just over $40. Wanted to get RE4 instead of Ghost Squad, but the bastards had bumped the price to $35 for some stupid reason. Then I forgot to look for House of the Dead. Oh well.

For some reason, in my localish store, the little signs they have around the DS games says the deal excludes $20 DS games, even though everything else says $10 games.

I'm half tempted to head back in on Wednesday and nab a couple more games.

[kevzik]

It seems that the $20 Wii game or less exclusion doesn't apply. So if you get two $20 Wii games, it will take off the second Wii game, so it would come out to buy one get one free (if second title is $20 or less) This also applies to the DS game sale with the $10 off. Also this might be YMMV, worked in system in-store today.

Sooooo,

This should mean 2 clearance 9.90 DS games should cost 9.90 total?

[CS_Mike]

This worked for me as well in store. I snagged Zack & Wiki (29.99) and Elebits (19.99) and still got the $20 off.

This isn't a price match, it's a deal match. PM they will do (but they love to find an excuse not to do it), but a deal match is really a YMMV. Like I mentioned before, one bb would NOT deal match it(the one store that had house of the dead), yet the other bb near me (which didn't have house of the dead) was totally cool with it.

My TRU had a sign saying DS games 19.99 or less are excluded from the offer, yet it went thru anyways (one was Sims 2:pets and Sonic). Sonic was dropped from 19.99 to 10 with the deal.

yeah I was like, why did they bump it up $5 more? that's odd, but picked it up anyway(last copy) cause nothing else looked good along with Z+W, and it's still a great deal.

The only thing I saw that piqued my interest was Rayman Raving Rabbits. Has anyone played this? How is it?

[Master Sword]

The Godfather is a good game. The controls are really cool and it makes a fun game.

[Gorge]

does the wii zapper work with this deal in-store?

[chadthechosen]

I would doubt it even if it does come with Link's Crossbow Training.. I would imagine they would consider it to be a accessory.

[Veronica Mars]

Got Ocean and Z+ W.
STORE Cleaned out.

[theflicker]

Picked up the last copy of Endless Ocean and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.

[MidnightMetal]

does the wii zapper work with this deal in-store?

The Wii Zapper and the Guitar Hero 3 for Wii do not show up in the system for being part of the deal, probably because zapper is more or less an accessory. So yeah those two are excluded from the deal, although Wii Play constitutes for a game so that is eligible at least.

[ITDEFX]

Got Ocean and Z+ W.
STORE Cleaned out.


Funny I had this weird dream last night that I went back to TRU and the store was cleaned out :(

[shajek]

price matched at BB for HoTD and Ghost Squad..

the way they rung it up on the receipt, 1st game was full price, 2nd game was $10. i know some frown upon this stuff,.. but if one were so inclined it looks like you could repeat and return to end up with 2 games for $20.

Price matched at BB: No More Heroes & HOTD 2&3 and Prof Layton & Brain Age 2.

The kicker: HOTD 2&3 rang up at $29.99, NHM at $29.99, Prof Layton at $9.99 and two copies of BA2 at $9.99. So, I was charged an extra $10, but had another $10 knocked off ($20 off the Wii games and $40 off three DS games, one of which I didn't get). I could go complain, or do an exchange with the full priced HOTD, but why tempt fate.

[CocheseUGA]

For fuck's sake.

Still no HotD @ TRU this morning, and no idea if/when they were going to get it.

I hate stores, and I especially hate this town.

What town are you in? ("The Boleyn" means nothing to me.)

Anyone check the NYC Times Square TRU recently?

[red_devil3]

I have a question. I bought Pro Evo Wii and Okami online using this deal. Both games are pre-orders. Now on the TRU website it says that Pro Evo was supposed to ship yesterday (the 17th), even though I know the actual date is the 18th. But now that I checked today it says that the game is supposed to ship on the 25th on the TRU website. Other places like Gamestop and Amazon still say that the game is supposed to ship on the 18th. What the frick is going on?

Does TRU usually get games late?

[CocheseUGA]

Went into BB to get a replacement copy of the HotD I opened, to return to CC. They matched the TRU deal right there without even an ad.

That's why BB gets my money, and CC doesn't.

[H-Town Info]

I got the last 2 copies of Z & W for me and my friend for 14 bones after the tax and 25 GC from SMG deal

[Kilraven]

I went in the Beavercreek (Ohio) TRU today and can verify that a 19.99 purchase will knock the $20 off a 29.99 and up game. Also, there was no signs of HotD 2&3. I spoke with one of the clerks and he said while little came in today, they're expecting a lot come Friday (atleast 40 more Brawls) - so who knows, maybe HotD will be in that lot.

Oh yeah, there were four copies of Zack & Wiki left.

[Civickid96]

I went over to the Toys R Us over in Sunnyvale and tried to get both Zack and Wiki and Resident Evil 4. They had about 6 copies of Zack and Wiki but NO copies of Resident Evil 4. :cry:

I grabbed the advertisement and head towards the Best Buy down the block. I find both Zack and Wiki and Resident Evil 4. I ask to price match it and the guy tells me that he has to call the Toys R Us to confirm that they have the game in stock. I was freaking out cause I was thinking that since the Toys R Us was out of Resident Evil 4, I would be SOL. But I then remembered that the associate told me that he would take Resident Evil 4 to the front and I was left with the copy of Zack and Wiki to check for stock. Needless to say, I lucked out. I left the store getting both Zack and Wiki and Resident Evil 4 for about $39. Good stuff to say the least.

Now if I can find a frickin Wii Classic Controller, I would be happy. Time to hit up Sunnyvale Frys...

I was there.
Sunnyvale TRU Sucks :/
I tried to PM at CC across the street, and BB. They both denied...
Your lucky :/

[shytface]

Does this apply to all Wii games in-store, or only the ones that are marked B1G1 $20 off online?

Also is there a way to check local inventory online? I want Z&W and Dewey but shipping is $5, but then again I don't wanna waste gas driving all the way out to TRU only to find out nothing is in stock.

No way to see what's in stock.
Best thing to do, is call CS and have them look it up.
That's helped. Plus, Would rather spend 5 bucks in gas and have them now then shipping.

[Indiana Jones]

Damnit. Mario Kart for the Wii preorder worked online at the start of the week, but not anymore. Oh well, guess I'll just have to buy it someplace else.

[pROvIs]

I was under the impression house of the dead 2 + 3 was rated M and toys won't carry that any longer in store. They stopped carrying New M rated games by me about 6 months ago. Has anyone seen this at all?

[shajek]

Look in the glass case behind the registers. They now keep all M-rated games there. Some stores might not carry them, but some will get all of them. One store by me had RE:UC and NMH, but another one didn't carry NMH.

[abhinav]

Thanks OP, Got Brawl and Z/W for $63 with tax. Now i just need to find a second game with No More Heroes, any suggestions?

[thurston]

i picked up or preordered Mario Kart Wii; Zack/Wiki ; Baroque; Okami

[It'sMagneto]

I went looking for RE4 and House of the Dead. They didn't have HotD. Has anyone had any luck Pming the offer at BB?

[Kaijufan]

Really? That's too bad, I was going to preorder Mario Kart and Okami tonight on the website with my $25 Mario Galaxy gift card.

[ismellofass]

For anyone in SE Massachusetts, South Attleboro CC PM without any problems. They actually took off $22 instead of $20 for some unknown reason. No complaints.

[shuma gorath's pupil]

toys r us sucks balls. They've taken practically all the wii titles that were worth a damn and taken the $20 discount off for online shoppers. Mario Kart Wii, Wii Play, HotD 2 & 3 Return, Okami are just a few of the games that were a part of the discount offer early this week when the deal first started and now they are no longer an option. It's really lame when a store offers a deal and then backs out of it on the select few titles that people decide to use the offer for. The irony of this all is that some of the B & M TRU are still taking the deal on the above mentioned games. Way to go cheap r us. Congrats to everyone who was able to get some actual good deals on some decent games before toys r us pussed out! Don't worry though, Ninjabread man is still apart of the offer!:bs:

It doesn't seem like they carry them here locally in MN at the Minnetonka store. They have told me in the past they do not carry M rated games at all anymore. I haven't looked exceptionally hard but any time I've looked for an M Rated game they don't have it.

[GrimmTrixX]

Ok im confused, is this buy 1 get $20 off for Wii games going on right now? or is it only Sat and Sun (confused about the 2 day easter sale). cuz if so then im gettin my ass to my TRU to grab HotD and Bomberman Land if they have it. I didn't even know bomberman was out and I haven't even seen it in my store, i work at a Game Crazy.

[Chucki Norris]

do you guys know if walmart price/ad matches? i have a couple giftcards that i'd like to use for this deal

[spideymike]

They do price match, but if it's for a 2-day sale, they may not price match it until tomorrow.

[Chucki Norris]

sorry should've been more specific. would they pm the buy 1 get $20 off wii games deal?

[gsrjedi]

I'm not sure if my order went through or not. On Sunday, I ordered Mario Kart Wii & Z/W, but I got to the Verified by Visa logo and I think I put in the wrong password or something and I was booted back to the TRU cart and every time I tried to check out, it said my CCID was wrong. Yesterday I check my bank account and see a $69 charge from TRU. But I'm yet to receive an e-mail, and my online account doesn't show anything. Hopefully it goes through, I've been wanting Z/W for a while now.

[spideymike]

sorry should've been more specific. would they pm the buy 1 get $20 off wii games deal?

My magic 8-ball says "Difficult to forsee. Your Mileage May Vary" ;)

Give it a shot and see if it works. Never hurts to ask.

thanks for the quick response i'll give it a go

[nflsonic]

Yeah, I was very disappointed to find out they stopped caring M rated games. I was really looking forward to picking up RE4 and HotD 2+3. Ah well, I'll just pick up RE4 at CC with my gift card.

[Gulshog]

I would love to get Zak and Wiki & Resident Evil, but I don't know if I will do it. I am planning on picking up Mario Kart and Okami next month, and with Brawl, that's a lot of purchases for me. I still don't have Galaxy!

I need to hit the lottery...

[PyrosMagus]

That HOTD Looks awesome with some Nyko action

[kevzik]

I can confirm DS games 9.90 and 5.00 will ring up b1g1 free if the cashier allows the promo process to happen.

I then tried to get 2 19.99 wii games for 19.99 but for some reason elebits rang up 19.99 and spiderman rang up 16.99 with 3 dollars off...

Any ideas on whats happening here?

[spideymike]

When did TRU stop carrying M rated games? :-? I see plenty at all my local stores.

[YoshiFan1]

They might as well not carry M rated games anymore. Unless you know from this site, how would any regular customer know they only keep M rated games in the case? If I didn't know any better, I would just figure they didn't have it if I didn't see a display copy out on the shelf. Of course this also works to our advantage as most people miss them. I got a copy of MGS Portable Ops for $3.00 from the glass case a few weeks ago and if it had been out on the sales floor, I'm sure it would have been long gone.

So the $10 off 2 DS games works on even the $5 games? Then potentially you could get 2 free games?

[MidnightMetal]

TRU still carries M rated games, it's just that there not carrying as much, many the popular ones. Some of the last M rated titles my store has received are Army of Two, Rainbow 6 Vegas 2, No More Heros, etc. So yeah definitely carrying them, just not all M rated titles. Apparently TRU doesn't think HotD is a popular title, I dunno.

I don't recall seeing Jericho PS3 too. I guess they are more selective towards M-rated games now.

I don't know about free, but if you buy a 5 dollar game you will receive 5 dollars of the second if it is also 5 bucks.

[fatyunchan]

Thanks for the heads up!

Picked up PES2008 and Ghost Squad.

[Chucki Norris]

picked up zack & wiki and ghost squad. i asked about HoTD and the guy just looked dumbfounded

Get your butt unglued from the couch and go to the B&M store if you want the deal! Sheesh. Fresh air mght doyou some good.

I just put a call in to send a waaaahhhhmbulance to your house. The nice EWTs* can help with your issues.

(*Emergency Whining Technicians)

[dmonk]

I just came back from the Plano one. I got No More Heroes and Super Mario Smash Brothers for 61$ after tax(I used my 25$ gift card to top it off).

It's a really good deal. I've had a Wii for a year and before this I only owned 2 games aside from Wii Sports. Thanks TRU.

[Import]

Are Zak and Wiki, RE4 and HOD 2&3 excluded?

Are Zak and Wiki, RE4 and HOD 2&3 excluded?

I picked up ZW and RE4 sunday for $47 so no they're not.

HOD isn't excluded either. (I think)

Boy "DrMoze". You sure showed me.............what an asshole you are that is.:roll: Did you ever stop and think that not everybody, myself included, has a TRU near them. The closest one for me is nearly 60 miles away. That's why I said what I said. Why shouldn't online shoppers be privied to the same deals those lucky enough to have a TRU near them get. Why don't you think next time before you are so quick to act like a douche bag. My comment wasn't personal towards anyone, but yours was. Open mouth and insert foot for the win.:applause:

[Indiana Jones]
