Yes it is any PSP, PS2, or PS3 title, and yes you can mix and match between PSP and PS3. The discounted title means once you buy both a PSP and a PS2 game the title equal or lesser value is discounted (marked 50% off).
Thanks Vash, I was going to put this up tonight beat me to it.:)

It really bugs me when there is a thread (usually stickied) and there is another thread that just showcases part of the sale. That's like me posting a thread saying "$15 GC when you buy Wii Rock Band Special Edition or GH:Aerosmith for Wii" , when it is already in Speedy's Target/CC/BB ad for the 20th. Sorry it just pisses me off for double posting like that, agian nothing against you DarkStryfe.

This might be mentioned in the "Toys R Us Ad July 20-26" Thread, but I wouldn't know about the b1G1 50% off based on that title alone. Maybe Speedy could have added the sale to his title to make more members aware.

Yeah, MidnightMetal did, that's why he was fussing over it. But the time stamps says all. I understand both points. See threads like these use to be great as they reminded people when the actual week came up, but now CheapyD places highlights/picks to remind us, so these aren't really necessary. In fact MidnightMetal is like the TRU version of speedy. Thanks to the OP and MidnightMetal.

Anyway this is pretty awesome! About time it hits some Sony systems!
Bad thing is...yet more money down the drain. I just got a Playstation 3... Problem is I haven't yet decided which platform to make my "main" system.
Ooooh...this would mean I can pick up Uncharted :)

Yeah, I read most of the ads posted here, but I usually skip the Tru ad as they normally don't have any exclusive bonuses or anything. I always figure any good deals like this usually warrant their own thread.

Personally, I understand why people want things kept in the appropriate topics, however who really has time to go through every single topic on the board? I can think of several times in which I didn't realize certain things were going on because they were relegated to a topic with either a ton of pages or no description of what was on sale in the title (clearance sale, clearance thread, game deals, ad and so on).
I'd like a bit of a happy medium with spectacular or particularly noteworthy deal being listed in the title of posts, that way people are less likely to feel the need to repost them as separate items and everyone is more informed.

I do tend to skim for PS3 deals and look over 360 deals, and never look at TRU cause it's 40 mins. away, few times a year I make it out there, generally try to make a day long trip to do other shopping when in that town....thanks to this thread I will plan one

You can get all of those games used at GS right now for 25% (35 if you have an Edge card) till tomorrow (thurs 7/17). Should come out to $90 (+ /- $5) total before taxes. I plan on getting NCAA and Lego Indy (can't find that game used anywher).
edit: GH? for PS3? none of those games are coming to GH list soon....most of them are games that came out when the system first went on sale.

actually, resistance should be going GH soon (i believe the week of the 27th), and it's been hoped that uncharted would go GH as well quickly after that. COD4 probably won't anytime soon, and i dunno about the show either.

TR&U online is completely full of crap, every decent new title is included in the deal but mysteriously every single one is out of stock I mean every decent new title. This is not the first time either, they pull this everytime they have a sale. Then when the sale is over all the titles suddenly reappear. CC does this too, its like they think you will buy the crappy, old medocre titles if they hide all the good stuff. Well guess what I will go tomorrow and buy what I can in store, but I'm not buying stuff I don't want, thats no deal. TRU
is sneaky, underhanded and crap store for the most part. Yes you can get good deals, if your willing to put up with their SHIT. I'm not, I'm getting too old to put up with TRU's crap.

TRU does not have the first wave of PS3 Greatest Hits prices, nor do we have the "red boxes" yet, so my guess is wait 'til possibly mid-week of the 27th and you might see something.

Thanks darkclawsofchaos, for the Speedy comment, though unfortunately I will no longer be working at TRU anymore (going to be over at BB).
And also to go along with the whole Speedy TRU ads, I will say that TRU does have an ad for 7/27 though there are no videogames even mentioned (mostly extra 20% off clearance mentioned).
So fairwell to TRU ad posting for me, off to BB (and more YMMV posting. lol)

This is not the first time either, they pull this everytime they have a sale. Then when the sale is over all the titles suddenly reappear. CC does this too, its like they think you will buy the crappy, old medocre titles if they hide all the good stuff. Well guess what I will go tomorrow and buy what I can in store, but I'm not buying stuff I don't want, thats no deal. TRU
is sneaky, underhanded and crap store for the most part. Yes you can get good deals, if your willing to put up with their SHIT. I'm not, I'm getting too old to put up with TRU's crap.
All of those good titles are out of stock because of the messup that happened on their site where it was giving everybody B1G1 Free instead of B1G1 half off. TRU got hammered with tons or orders, many people ordering multiples of the big named games just to see if they could make a quick turn-around if any of the orders slip through. So you see, they didn't really pull all of the orders on purpose, but people all have them on order and until TRU cancels them all (or actually does ship some of them), they're going to remain out of stock. My guess is that many of the orders will be cancelled on Monday if anything...as mine is still processing.

Thanks darkclawsofchaos, for the Speedy comment, though unfortunately I will no longer be working at TRU anymore (going to be over at BB).
So fairwell to TRU ad posting for me, off to BB (and more YMMV posting. lol)
Thanks for all your hard work posting the TRU ads Midnight. I'm sure those at the "Reduced Price Game Guides" thread would appreciate any help regarding penny guides since you are going to be working at BB. ;)

Stopped by today and got Zack and Wiki (Wii), Zelda:Twilight Princess (GCN), Final Fantasy: Chocobo Dungeon (NDS) and Beautiful Katamari (360) for $32...not too shabby.
Each rang up 9.98 less 2.00 (20%) = 7.98.

TRU does not have the first wave of PS3 Greatest Hits prices, nor do we have the "red boxes" yet, so my guess is wait 'til possibly mid-week of the 27th and you might see something.
Thanks darkclawsofchaos, for the Speedy comment, though unfortunately I will no longer be working at TRU anymore (going to be over at BB).
And also to go along with the whole Speedy TRU ads, I will say that TRU does have an ad for 7/27 though there are no videogames even mentioned (mostly extra 20% off clearance mentioned).
So fairwell to TRU ad posting for me, off to BB (and more YMMV posting. lol)
Thats kinda sad, but thanks for the effort, its been appreciated.

I remember they had one last year, but can't remember when.

The 1st game I ordered said it shipped and I was charged thru Paypal=
then they turned around and canceled Orange Box and said I wouldn't be charged, but that was the free game. I called them and they said call back
after 3-5 days, so I started a dispute with Paypal, but I think I got screwed.:bomb:

You can return the game you did get (although since you bought it through Paypal you might need to mail it back or whatever).
I would never use Paypal as they don't protect you, and are notorious for screwing their customers, but in this case I wouldn't think it would matter since you don't need to deal with Paypal (I wouldn't have done a dispute...unless you can't return the game).

Do you mean return the game to the store. If I print my receipt maybe it can work.
Chocolatejas
07-25-2008, 03:34 PM
I have received 3 of 6 so far. On invoice sent with the games one said you can not return to the store but then another said to call and ask if they had the game in stock and they might do it.

Any thoughts on doing game exchanges at the store? I love bringing the controversy back into a dying thread, so does anyone have any thoughts on whether or not they'll allow you to swap a copy of one PS3 game with another if purchased through the Buy 1, Get 1 glitch? I know it's worked during previous sales, and if the game was the non-free item on the receipt, it seems like it shouldn't be impossible to do a straight swap for, say, Soul Calibur IV ... and this isn't screwing the company because it's an equal value trade. Thoughts?

You can do it as long as your exchanging the game that was paid for. The free game has a value of $0 so that is what your going to get for it if you try to exchange that one..
