The Wii games on that list are all solid, but you may or may not find a better price. Decent ad, could be better though.

Remember, if you buy The Force Unleash this week you get a $20 giftcard.
That giftcard expire 10/31/08.
So..
You could get Fire Emblem or Metroid Prime 3 for $5 8-)

Thats awkward that a deal would start at 3 pm rather than opening

That's pretty good, I'm heavily considering RE:UC and MP3.

I think this is an awesome deal for MP3 and FE since the Big N takes forever to price drop. Too bad I own both (along with RE: UC).
Bumpin' this so others can see.

^^ True, I found MP3 on clearance at Target for $24.98 about a week ago. What an impulse buy that was. . .

Maybe they're targeting the parents who are coming home from work?

Bingo. They have these blockbuster deals often. The last one started at 5pm. It was great I left work and got there just about 5pm. So I grabbed a cart and proceeded to spend, too much, money. The deals were good for toys. I'd rather they do the afterwork then during saturday morning, which is hard to get to with two young kids.
Thanks OP.
You think Capcom would drop the price on RE:UC when RE5 comes out? Capcom did drop RE4(Wii) to $30 and now to $20.

You guys are really just interested in the deals...poor Geoffrey.

Are there any other non-video game deals that could be of interest to us?

Looks like I finally might pick up Battalion Wars. Now just waiting for Boom Blox to drop.

thanks for the post, but man, already have those games and nothing else interesting on the Wii. Any other non-game door buster deals?

09-18-2008, 02:29 PM
with exception of Battalion Wars II wii, all those games listed for 50% off is a great price. value price.

:rofl:
This seems like a good deal on Fire Emblem, which seems to be disappearing. Or am I missing something?
habloc

hmm...I might pick up fire emblem.
Does anyone know if the multiplayer is any good in RE:UC? Does it follow the same story line as the single player?

Wouldn't this combine with the B2G1 offer? I'm thinking MP3C, FE and RE:UC for under $50.

Not unless they mess up the B2G1 promotion (I wouldn't put it past them) -- it is only supposed to work on games $19.99 and under.

I didn't see this is the ad... and it doesn't mention anything about doorbusters either. Just some parade on Geoffreys b-day. Do we have a confirmation of this yet? A scan of the ad maybe? I just bought RE and want to price-match, or rebuy/return if at all a last resort as I still haven't opened my copy yet.

This is a separate ad from the weekly ad. This ad will probably show up on thursday/friday in your local paper or mail.

So are the ads in store these days? I never get any flyers, ads from TRU advertising, really want to price match at CC or bestbuy if possible
Thats awkward that a deal would start at 3 pm rather than opening
That's pretty normal for TRU sales, and in fact a lot of places do that sort of thing. It's a bit like a preview of the sale proper that actually starts the next day but might be able to get people to come in on the way home from work or whatever who wouldn't come out on the weekend.
Too bad it's a crappy sale.

I'm extremely tempted to pick up RE:UC.

Is this sale nationwide with the 50% the Wii games? The ad that I got did not mention those games anywhere.

fire emblem is 16.96 at Circuit City

Only if you could still find it. The stores in my area is depleted of it within a week of clearance.

Not that I didn't believe the OP, but the ad is finally available for viewing on toysrus.com. Thanks for the heads up!!

hm...$25 for MP3 sounds good...but i haven't even played through my copies of MP1 & MP2 yet...

anyone know if this is just the website or in store offer?
also, do i have to take the flyer or will their computers automatically pick up the temporary price drops?

$25 for RE Umbrella Chronicles is sweet...but I'm going to go to Circuit City or Best Buy, buy it and have them give me 110% of the difference, for a bonus $2.50 off...
FYI, got the ad in the LA Times today so it should be in your local paper if you're lucky.
And even at $25 versus $16.96 Fire Emblem is well worth it - it's doubtful Nintendo will reissue/reprint it, Circuit Cities were completely wiped out of it the first day or two it was clearanced, and if it's anything like Fire Emblem POR on Gamecube, it's going to be very hard to find, and maintain its value. Even with the best coupon from Gamestop, it's still $44.99 - 30~35% at best, in the high $20's. Better to get it brand new.

Fire Emblem looks like a great deal. I might have to drive and out for this deal.

Anyone get this to work online? It still shows the original price when I try to check out.

Got two copies of Metroid Prime 3 (one for me and my brother) last night in Clarence (Buffalo) NY. Now I have to decide whether to play my unplayed copies of Metroid Prime one & two first or skip to three....
Davideo
09-27-2008, 10:40 AM
So I went in, was the first one there. Grabbed a copy for MP3 and RE:UC... the best part was they let me use the $10 off $50 coupon. I couldn't believe my luck. got both for 39.99. I suggest you all try it. Its the coupon thats on the front of their mailing catalog. Not sure how I got it, or where to get it another copy w/ coupon.

09-27-2008, 11:07 AM
I gotta get one of those coupons...in the next hour...I might still get FE if I can't find it as part of a combo in GS used sale near a store around me.
Needles-Kane
09-27-2008, 03:37 PM
I ended up getting RE UC, FE, and a Microsoft 360 media remote that was $3 and used my $10 off coupon. Not a bad deal :) My TRU was having that deal until 1:00 instead of 12:00.
I probably would have done the B2G1 deal instead of FE if they had Air Traffic Chaos and Okami. Oh well, I got the last Okami (hid behind a bunch of $30 GH Odin Spheres) for $15 at Best Buy.

I got to snag a plain Xbox360 faceplate for free, they had a box of them just sitting there for the taking.
