[pimpinc333]

That 50% RPG's is pretty sweet.

[Nikadimas]

You can already get Crisis Core for 50% off? Doesn't make me feel as bad that the day after the 25% of used PSP games coupon expired a Crisis Core magically showed up on the shelf at GS.

[bornrunnin31]

Does TRU usually have copies of their ad in store? I want to pricematch this at Best Buy and get their sweet metallic cover for Crisis Core.

[Coper3000]

Might have to finally get Baroque. Now just to decide which system to get it for. thx op.

[iNCREDiPiNOY]

+1!

[bigdaddybruce44]

Wow. The RPG deal is great. Too bad I already have Crisis Core.

[Masterkyo]

Wow! If it TRUE is GREAT DEAL EVER!!!


50% off any one of the Role-Play Games! (this is awsome)
- Final Fantasy Crisis Core (PSP) I wanted this $ucker for while now $20 is STEAL DEAL.
- Final Fantasy Tactics (PSP) I sold my PS1 version now i can get it back for $20
- Rondo of Swords (DS) I planned to this game somehow the REVIEW say is BAD :(

Possible I'll get this game at CC or BB pricematch !!!
- Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness (PSP) Possible this SUCKER in the List for $15 after 50% off (Re-Print & available 4/17 MSRP $29.99).
-FFXII will be $10

[Lost Loser]

Seriously? I just bought The War of the Lions for $25 last week. I mean, I got it 35% off, but still, that's not 50% off. I could have saved, well, like $3. Okay, I don't regret my decision so much anymore.

[Frosty The Batman]

Sweet deal. In for Baroque.
Thanks for the ad.

[emg28]

Thanks OP. Nice deal. In for Rondo of Swords and DQM.

Hopefully, They actually get RoS in stock.

I don't know how you guys are able to Deal Match at BB. My BB's are good for penny guides but won't Deal Match.

[tito1183]

Best Buy and Circuit City do not pricematch TRU!!!! They say that TRU is a Toy Store and not really a competitor of theirs!!!! I learned the hard way during the Buy 1 Get 1 game $20 off!!!!:bomb:

[v1et r1ce]

Thanks OP! Might pick up Crisis Core for $20!

[Admiral Ackbar]

That's sweet.

[ivanctorres]

WoW Crisis Core @ 20 bux already. Too bad the reviews I read make this game seem appelable to only the hardest of hardcore FF7 fans.

[burningrom2]

I'm in for rondo of swords! about baroque, i didn't like the nintendo power review...

[detectiveconan16]

I think it's "Any one of THESE RPGs."
But this deal is nice!

[Perfect*Ending]

Thanks for the ads!

50% off deal is tempting.

[prim4444]

It depends on the manager at each individual store. The Best Buy nearest to my TRU always matches for me, even though he knows I work at TRU.

[moammo]

geez I hope that price on Crisis Core is right.. sweettttt

[toper]

Wow, I won't be able to pass on the FF psp titles at that discount...thanks for the headsup, OP!!!

[Ryukahn]

Damn, I have been debating if I should sell my copy of FFT for PSP, and now I guess I should have. I bet the used price will come down on ebay thanks to this sale. :cold:

[Vinny]

It sounds like a lot of you don't realize it's for ONE game only... so unless you get a careless CR, you won't be able to get 2 or more games off that list.:-\

[slidecage]

i belive it when i see it.... no reason to drop these new games by 1/2

maybe buy 1 get 1 at 1/2 off but i would be shocked if it really says this in the ad next week....

though i might grab Rondo of Swords next week when it comes out and try to price match it next sunday (keeping it sealed of course)

BUT Then again i would be shocked if TRU even carries these games

[Burchamj]

sweet. im broke, but now i see that it starts 4/20....

[guyinga]

I'll believe the RPG sale when I see the ad...I'm on the fence with getting Baroque and I hope the sale's for any RPG, not just the ones listed (like maybe Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata or Lost Odyssey at 50% Off? OK!)

[botticus]

Happy birthday to me with Rondo of Swords. Thanks for posting, and thanks to Jekki for bringing it to my attention!

Uhh yeah it is only the RPG games that are listed, NOT ALL RPG's. Also in the TRU thread Blue Dragon will be clearanced to $19.98(YMMV at the moment)

I was wondering where everyone was coming up with all these other titles.

[fart_bubble]

Cool, gonna pick up Rondo and Baroque for those prices

[Starving Gamer]

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, guys, but the add reads "50% off any one of these role-playing games when you buy Crisis Core FF VII". So you HAVE to get Crisis Core (at $39.99) to get Tactics, Baroque, KH II, DQMonsters OR Rondo of Swords at 50% off... a minimum investment of $55 or maximum of $60, which really is still not bad for two quality RPGs... If you do decide to get this, ask the cashier for your 'passport to savings' coupon, which will take $5 off your $25+ purchase.

def YMMV - depends on mgr or cashier @ BB & CC - when GHIII wii was on sale @ TRU for $65 - i bot them first @ BB and CC @ $90 - and then went back into the store to price match with the ad in hand. did not have an issue with either. all they wanted to see was the ad. CC even asked to keep the ad. both mgrs just matched the px and CC (or was it BB?) even gave me the extra 10% off.

of course, there is a lot to be said about being a nice person about it and being able to walk away and return the item if they won't PM.

though so....thanks for clearing that up.

a way to maybe get around it

Put FF cc up on ebay for 35 new (even if they sell for that high) get the passport coupon tht would knock CC back to free and then get your 1/2 price game

but you would still be out all of that cash until your CC sells

Hey thanks for catching that, I totally missed that :wall:(probably due to me seeing 50% off and eyes becoming blurry and not able to read) thanks again, I'll update OP

[darkclawsofchaos]

What's a passport savings coupon?

[slidecage]

LOL trying something new

i just picked up 5 100 pt games off goozex for 500 pts.... going to put them up on ebay probally tomorrow night for like 40 bucks or so.....

if they fetch 40 bucks. i could take that cash and buy FF CORE put it on goozex and get 800 pts

free 300 pts + then get my 1/2 price game

[afilgueirasjr]

The funny thing is nobody cares that the Wii is going to be available but yea there are some pretty sweet deals but go to the store we always have more in the store.

[afilgueirasjr]

What's a passport savings coupon?

their coupons that we are handing out right now for the next two weeks, for next week it a $5 off any purchase of $25 dollars or more.

[darkclawsofchaos]

Oh, ok then, I was wondering, thanks, so you just ask it and thats it. Simple enough, thanks, gonna get some FF love

[prim4444]

their coupons that we are handing out right now for the next two weeks, for next week it a $5 off any purchase of $25 dollars or more.

Another heads up on these coupons. The new Passport to Savings book's coupons state on the coupon itself that they exclude video game software. We'll have to wait until 4/20 when the coupon starts to see if they actually do.

[crunchewy]

So could you buy FF and another game for half off, then return FF and keep the half off game? How do they handle that situation?

[Matt Young]

Why did it take people so long to realize that Crisis Core was not 50% off when it was very clearly stated? Did the OP write it wrong and edit later?

[Poor2More]

^Yep the OP edited it, before it said

50% off these RPG's
blah...
blah...
blah...

[emg28]

Yeah. He changed it and gave us all blue balls. ;)

[Ryukahn]

Glad I read that the sale was changed. Now I can sell my copy of FFT:WotL if I want to and not worry about people being pissed.

[Matt Young]

Ah, okay. I figured that was it since CAGs are usually pretty thorough about those sorts of things.

Also, since I forgot- Thanks Midnight!

[MidnightMetal]

:wall:Obviously I wasn't thorough! Better now than later. And once again :wall:

[jererjerer]

yeah...I think before the clear up, it could literally be one of the biggest sale (in my book) ever-new games anyhow. So the passport coupon saving DO NOT apply to video game purchases? I've got mine, but I didn't bother to read the fine print yet.

[justoneuncle]

"Passport to Savings" coupons should work like any other TRU coupon. That is, video games are allowed. It just excludes video game hardware along with the other usual exclusions (diapers, formula, gift cards, BPPs).

Edit: I retract this. The new one does exclude video game software as others have said. Sorry.

[meerkatgamer]

Nice deal there hopefully the TRU near me has the games I want in stock.

Damn, you're right. Sorry guys, I guess I should've read the fine print. What a lame-ass anti-CAG coupon!:cry: I'd still try using it though, there's always a chance it could work...

[emg28]

:wall:Obviously I wasn't thorough! Better now than later. And once again :wall:

It's OK, Midnight. I still appreciate you putting the TRU ads up early. :applause:

Here are the coupons in question without the UPC/SKN # since these are readily available in stores right now, and to prevent other sites from abusing this coupon by photocopying them a million times.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I grabbed a small stack thinking I was going to use the 15% off on some more clearance games and Mario Kart. Didn't read it till I got home. Let's all hope it will still work.

[Masterkyo]

The Deal is $uck. Unless you wanted FF7:CC badly. I don't have $40 for FF7: CC + extra $20 for FFT :(. Possible i'll get BB or CC pricematch the deal and Return FF7: CC :)

[kndy]

Man I'm so glad that I saw this thread today... was going to buy both "Baroque" and "Rondo of Swords" tomorrow. Haven't purchased Crisis Core and was going to wait for Game Crazy's sale next week (it goes on sale for $24.99) but if I can get several RPG's at 50% off buy buying FFCC at full price, that's cool with me.

[v1et r1ce]

So TRU is suppose to have a bunch of Wiis tomorrow? I heard like 50 per store.

[abhinav]

$25 you say? I guess i'll wait for that deal.

[Roufuss]

Was going to go for this deal, but after thinking about it, not so hot. Crisis Core and FFT would be $32 a piece after tax, and that's just the same price it is shipped on Ebay for used copies or used at GS with Edge.

I'm no rush for either game, and I certainly don't need both at once, so I guess I'll just hold off. A real shame it wasn't 50% off both Crisis Core and FFT :(

[MidnightMetal]

Found out that TRU will be issuing 60 "Golden Ticket" (yeah I know) presell cards with a $200 deposit the week of 4/20 and will be selling them for the week of 4/27. TRU will aslo be getting more Wii's on top of the 60 that they already presold. Just a heads up in case any one was wondering.:)

[kndy]

I went ahead and decided to go through TRU online.com. Came to under $70....I figured I would get Crisis Core anyway (although was going to wait until the April 25th sale of Game Crazy when the game will be sold for $24.99). Got "Rondo of Swords" because the reviews are much more promising than Baroque (although I will still get this game since I'm an Atlus crazy fan). Already have/beaten FF: Tactics and I don't know about that version of DQ though.

Also, another reason for going online is shipping was only $3.99 and sales tax was only around $2. Would save me money in California sales tax and gas in the long run to order it online.

[nikkai]

Just curious - CAGs getting the Wii they wanted this morning? Hope so.

[2488fan]

Got my wii early this mornig at TRU.

[kndy]

On second thought...you may not want to purchase it online unless you want to wait. Damn...received the message:

The following item(s) are not yet available to leave our warehouse:Description: Rondo of Swords for Nintendo DS
Quantity: 1 @ $14.99
Shipping Method: Standard Ground
Product Release Date : 04/21/08


Once the above items are released, we will ship them to you as soon as possible.

[darkclawsofchaos]

I just saw two people get wiis this evening, at 6 o clock, this in Carle's Place/Westbury. I think the wii shortage is not as bad as it use to be. Bad news is that hadn't had any FFT stocked for a while now. It sucks.

Just wanted to confirm that these coupons WILL NOT WORK ON VIDEO GAMES. Tried this morning when I got to work.

[emg28]

Just a heads up. I checked 2 TRUs this morning and they had signs up announcing that when you buy 1 game ($10 and up), you get $10 off on a 2nd game. This applies to Wii, 360, PS3 and PS2 games only.

This was first posted in the TRU clearance thread (not by me) and has been confirmed by others as well. This works best with clearance games as I picked up Dead Rising and CoD3 Wii for $24.xx after taxes.

So it basically makes last Friday and Saturday's $5 off $25 coupon worthless, right? (assuming all spent on clearance games)

Not if you were spending it on PSP, DS, NGC and/or GBA clearance games ;)

[Perfect*Ending]

Yeah, forgot about that hehe


But I spent it on 360 and PS2 games only. Guess I'll have to go to TRU *again* for price-adjustments.

[Masterkyo]

Picked up few 360 Games today at TRU. Buy any 2 Wii, 360, PS3 and PS2 and Save $10.

Shadow Run $7.50
Enchanted Arms $16

Fear $7.50
Samurai Warriors $16

Total under $51.56 after taxes. Sadly, they don't have $5 off coupon or 20% off coupon around :( Still good deal. Also, I used old receipt return FEAR copy and get full amount $17.19 back :)

[bob330i]

Just curious - CAGs getting the Wii they wanted this morning? Hope so.


Yep, got one. Only had to get there 10 min. before opening so it would appear that the shortages (or demand is decreasing) are near the end. I think our store had 40 or so.

[YoshiFan1]

Can you get the $10 discount more than once per transaction? If I was going to buy 4 games for example, could I get $20 off or does it have to be done seperatly? And it stacks with the 20% off on clearance, correct?

It does work with $10 discount on same transaction, as long as you have games that are multiples of 2 and are priced over a $10 value then it will take $20 off if you buy 4 games. And yes it does stack with the extra 20% off on clearance items.

[YoshiFan1]

Thanks

[meerkatgamer]

Well yesterday I went to TRU and bought FFVII:CC and FFT I used my giftcard from mario galaxy and a coupon so it all came to 27 or so for the two games..

I played a little of the tactic game it's fun so far and I still need to beat the FFVII:CC import I got before playing the english one anyways Thanks for posting this deal I've been waiting for a nice deal on those two psp games.

[GrimmTrixX]

damn, i wish i waited for crisis core! i could've bought that and got Baroque 50% off. lame. why must I get games RIGHT when they come out?!

[eau]

Is the PS2 or Wii version of Baroque better?

[kndy]

Both are the same game but the Wii has better graphic support and according to some, you can use the wiimote. But for those who played both, they say that they are technically the same. I bought Crisis Core and did the 50% off for "Rondo of Swords" since the reviews were much better for that game. But I'll pick up "Baroque" since I tend to buy anything Atlus.
