Wait a second, so you can get either the GC or the $10 off, or can you get both?

Unfortunately, no.
If you bring it customer service, they will tell you

1) Only applies to new purchases on advertised week.
2) You may return the game and re-buy it to get the GC, but you would lose your B2G1 deal in the process.

I bought SFIV with that deal, and it's too late for me to return it to negate the deal, so I'm furious right now.

I make it a policy of mine to never pay full-price for any games, and the $10 GC would've slightly lessened the blow to my wallet, but come ON, BB, this is just stupid.

Yeah seriously dude. You were "trapped" into getting 50% off one game ($30) and are complaining that you can't stack a $10 GC on top of that? Give me a break. If you insist, next time just pass on the B1G50% offer and get your $10 instead. :roll:

I'd drop Crimecraft from any "lowering" / "reduced" price as it can now be freely downloaded and played. They totally changed the payment structure - I am not sure if you get the "premium" month or two by buying the game, but at $30, that's 3 months of premium.

I don't own or play the game, just trying to save some people some $$.

This really makes no sense. You got a deal. But now you want a second deal stacked on top of that? How exactly were you "trapped" here?

Did you pay for the preorder in full or just put down a $5 deposit? Because you can always walk away from the latter and just eat the deposit.

YMMV, but from my experience:
Yes, but you will have to wait in line at customer service with all the other preorders. I'd just go there and pickup a copy. BB usually doesn't have preorders paid off before the release date, so all those preorders have to be looked up, distributed, credit applied, then finally sold.

I'm getting the hardened edition since I love all the extra stuff. I'm leaning towards preordering, but not 100% sure about it. Wondering if TRU has a better deal (like the rumored $20 gift card), my local BB supposedly says they will price match items, and it'd be nicer to get $20 off instead of just the $10 gift card for RZ members.

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like an incredible pain in the ass. Think I'll be able to snag one without a pre-order or do BB's generally sell out of the big releases? I had no problem picking up Uncharted 2 release day but MW2 is an entirely different monster.

I could care less bout the points. I just want the game and that $10 gift card.

FYI the $10 off 75 the op speaks of is on the back of the big book of toys valid 11/26 only

Actually it's valid thru the 26th of November. Not subjected to one single day. The only video game related item it excludes is video game hardware so plain ol' video games have clearance. The gift card expires 12/31/09.

Perfect if you happen to come across the special edition of MW2 or just want one more GC in the pile. Also I spoke with someone in the TRU over at Times Square, NY and they said that the game will come out the 17th of Nov. and not the 10th. I really hope that's not the case. If someone can verify in-store that it's coming out the 10th, I would really appreciate it. I'm gonna call TRU headquarters and see if all TRUs (at least in my area) will have MW2 on the 10th.

Misprints on TRU ads have happened before. You're right that it still would be set for release on the 10th. Still, it would give me some peace to know that it will definitely come out that day. I do have a GC for it.

amazon is better. what do you need a GC at toysrus for? theyr other games are all MSRP, whereas amazon has lower prices on ALL its games, even if its a few bucks

$59.99 initial purchase gets you $20 GC

The next $59.99 purchase you pay $39.99 and get another $20 GC.

Amazon just hasn't met that with consistency the way TRU has over the past several months.

Add into that $5 extra deals for preorders and special GC offers like the week Arkham Asylum hit where people received $30 GC's and you have some pretty sweet deals when it comes to paying for brand new releases. All it takes it buying the first one outright.

If and when Amazon does match those prices, it's never the week of release.

Amazon does still have sweet ass deals(Adding in those 10% coupons before they went tits up from ECA was nice, and specials like the $40 credit for $80 purchase.), and with a little effort, you can get CLOSE to the equivalent of $20 off, but you still have the timespan to wait for shipping and it's almost never on release day.

It feels like a fanboy war here with Sony and Xbox fans duking it out.

Spose im just sayin whomever I can get it from cheaper gets my buck. And the more they fight over who can go lower, the more I win.

Yep.
Just print it out and take the paper with you.

If it doesnt prompt you to print a temp card right after you sign up, simply go back to the toysrus website, click the rewards R us tab on the top, log in, and click on the tab that says "print/request card" (or something similar) and print it there.

I may see if BB can price match this. I'm planning on going to BB at the midnight sale and bring the TRU ad with me. I don't think TRU stores are getting the Hardened Edition and if BB can PM the deal (like my local store boasts that they can do), that would be great.

Nice. I've got a $25 TRU giftcard to use on this from Scribblenauts/Mario & Luigi, and a $10 off coupon for a purchase over $100 from a flyer mailing, so I'm thinking MW2 plus Dragon Age equals $35 off plus another $30 in GC. I've also seen that $10 GC for a purchase over $75 coupon, and it would be completely nuts if that stacked to boot.

11-04-2009, 09:00 PM
Already preordered MW2 on Amazon, but I love seeing TRU continue to offer GCs with big new release games. There are plenty of games coming next year that I'm hoping will get this treatment as well.

That $10 GC might be enough to get me to go pick up GTA Episodes, though.

As long as you give them the coupons at the same time as you give them the games it should stack. I know at my local TRU they let me use as many coupons as I can get to work as long as I hand them to them at the same time. That way the know how and in which order to use them, I think sometimes the coupons that give you the free gift cards need to be put in first before the general discount coupons or something like that.

I could be wrong but I remember TRU had a $30 Gift Card for buying a certain game, not sure which it was, it came out sometime in August.... Batman maybe?

But anyway, they had a rule where you couldn't just stand in line and buy the game again. You had to wait a few hours or something for it to activate. At least that's what I remember hearing or maybe it was on the back of the card.

Probably done to avoid having people buy a ton of copies and rack up the gift cards.

No offense but this game is not that great that it will be sold out EVERYWHERE. Nothing against MW2 but you make it sound like only a few copies were printed.

Anyways, I'll take the bait and get MW2, Tekken 6 & Dragon Age Origins for all those gift cards if it's in stock, if not i can wait for them to drop in $. No rush.

Do you think they're honestly stupid enough to not distribute enough copies to go around for everyone right out of the gate? I've NEVER not been able to buy a major release within the first week or so because the game was sold out. It will not be difficult to get a copy of this game, at all.

I mentioned Arkham Asylum in the post you quoted.....

And you can't use the GC immediately, no. But you could buy multiple copies for the multiple GC's if you so chose. There wouldn't be any abusing the system though, as you're still paying full price per each title. Spose if you wanted to make a little off the top you could resell each copy outside the door for 50-55 and make a little off the top. Reverse scalping? Sell a little under retailers MSRP while you pocket the extra $20 in GC's from each purchase.

Wouldn't work beyond day 1 I would assume though, and you'd need some pretty desperate folks to want to buy it from the stranger outside of the front of your retailer.

Thats because gamestop specilizes in games, and its not that big of a store. I bet your local Bestbuy, Walmart, Target, TRU, etc. get just as many, if not more copies of MW2 as your gamestop. If your local record store sold out of this weeks new album, does that mean that Bestbuy, Walmart, Target, Kmart, Shopko also ran out?

I would bet that a Gamestop which has been taking pre-orders for this game for months will get more copies than any of the stores you just listed. Also it was not just the Gamestop that my son went to that was going to stop taking pre-orders but I think the guy meant they were removing the pre-order sku# from their whole system.

I seriously doubt this game is gonna be THAT hard to find, except for in stores that are having huge deals on it. Super Smash Bros Brawl didnt sell out completely, CoD4 didnt sell out completely, and Halo 3 didnt sell out completely (Heck, i got an Xbox 360 AND this Halo 3 2 days after release, and had no difficulty finding it)

Honestly, what a damn stupid question.

It says Tuesday between those times. It doesn't say Wednesday. Common sense would tell you that it is between these times to drive customers in to possibly buy other things during such a slow period of the day.

the TRU opens at 9AM so if you go there at 9 they WONT sell it to you until 10AM?

at the batman release at TRU can anyone comment on how big the line was ? enuff copies ?

During the batman release, we had an employee try to buy the game at 9:30 since he just got off work, and the gift card deal wouldn't work. He had to come back at 10 to get the gift card.

Hopefully this won't be the case this time, but it could be that the sale won't start until 10 even for all the stores that open at 9.

If it were a normal giftcard giveaway it would be fairly easy for them to take the $20 off of the total price but since it's tied it with the TRU rewards program it'll be extremely YMMV for pricematching. This is why people could only get the $20 off of Batman and not the full $30 offered for the rewards program members.

If you price match this at best buy, do you get a gift card or does the value of the gift card get deducted from the price? The wording of BB's policy is confusing me.

Thanks.

How do you handle a price match if the Best Buy price includes a promotional offer such as a free gift card or rebate?
The Best Buy net purchase price is calculated by deducting the value of all instant and mail-in discounts such as rebates, free offers and promotional gift cards. Existing rebates and free offers associated with a product purchased at Best Buy will not apply if a price match is executed.

Amazon still beats it though

They're trying but you still need to pay tax


This argument never makes any sense. When you pay your state taxes every year, you have to claim how much you spent in online shopping so the state can take the tax for what you bought that you didn't pay tax for at the time. The bottom line is, eventually you will pay tax for the item no matter where you bought it. Call me too honest but I don't feel like getting audited for something stupid that's a few bucks.

While what you are saying is true I would say less than 10% of america ends up paying tax for online sales. The odds of a random normal person getting audited for that specifically are most likely astronomically low. Now if you are buying millions online than you are undoubtedly a much bigger target, but someone maybe spending a 1,000 or 2,000 a year is highly unlikely. Doesn't make it any less wrong not to report it though

Not true, the gift card thing is going to start whenever the sale starts. We can't run it through early or anything, thats the way our system works. When we had the Batman AA gift card sale, it started a little later because the system was slow. So, I'm going to assume that if the sale does start at 10 then your probably going to have to wait til 10. And I suggest you get there early because there will probably be a line. And if you signed up for a rewards card online we are able to look it up for you. But if you want to be safe just print out a temporary card online. And some of you guys might want to try to get your hands on some of our coupons that are out right now. :)

Most likely you will. With the ODST deal you had to wait 6 hours after the gift card was activated in order to make a purchase with it. I'm pretty sure it'll be the same with this.

I'd also like to know this. And, if you get the $10 off select games, does that game have to be purchased at the same time as MW2? Or could you use that gift card plus the other 10 on the other game some other time? Thanks.

You can pre-order it, same thing went for all the other deals. I did this personally for the B2G1 deal with Uncharted 2 and Brutal Legends

I asked a similar question for ODST (yes ODST again damnit) when they offered the $20 GC the person in charge of the "gaming zone" or whatever you want to call it, told me I would not get the GC. I went to multiple stores and got the same answer. I'm guessing that this'll be the same.

I guess it depends if you know someone that works there, or just get lucky.

You can bring the game in, but you would have to bring it in during the sale hours to get the $20 gift card. I doubt your game will arrive in time to do this. After Tuesday 2PM through Saturday, you will only get a $10 gift card. You would have to buy a copy on Tuesday, then return your online order when it comes in

I emailed TRU and explained my situation about pre ordering it online and ill see what they say. regardless, i think ill still take a run up to their store with my receipt that comes in the box and see if i cant talk my way into a gift card. or i could return it there and buy it again for the card.

I WILL get my gift card.

you can't return tru.com purchases in store and they won't give the gc for buying it online. just cancel your online order.

nope. In store only. cancel your preorder.

well, i preordered it along with an order of Uncharted 2. i can cancel my order just like that they wont care? cuz if i can ill have made off with U2 on its release date for 43 bucks...

oh... you're screwed. if you cancel they'll charge your card the extra $17 for U2. you're not getting a GC unless you wanna pay full price for both. Just let it go. I rather save $30 than get a $20 giftcard anyday.

in other words you can only...
1. specific items
2. for store credit only

A CS rep also told me if you used an online promotion those items can't be returned in store... and why else would you order a game from tru.com unless you got a deal? To get games a week late? lol

Might be YMMV, and probally would have to be in seperate transactions.
Back when they had the Batman:AA deal, i saw some guy buy 3+ and get gift cards for each one, unless they changed the fine print

I'm confused. I want to buy MW2. I'll have to sign up for the Reward R Us membership and take in my print to get the $20 correct? Then if I decide to buy ANY other game I get $30 in gift card?

dgwillia006
11-06-2009, 01:37 AM
No, the 2nd game for 30 is only games from off the list on the front page (No DBZ Raging Blast T.T), not sure how it works if you buy 2 MW2's

Sucks TRU doesn't sell PC games.

I would jump on Dragon Age for PC + Uncharted 2

But i'm skipping MW2 completely

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=5802&pictureid=10121

Doesn't say anything about using this on a pre-order

I am at least going to try to use it even though i did the b1g150%off and this is the cheaper game. If they turn me down they turn me down. Still got the game for $30.

I'm definitely getting the Hardened version, but when I pre-ordered a while ago, the dummy case didn't have that as an option. I need some CAG advice...do you think a) I should cancel my pre-order and try to seek out the H.E. by noon on release day? b) see if I can change my pre-order up to match H.E. or is it too late in the game?

Also, the BB I pre-ordered at I won't make it until 4pm. Do they really hold pre-orders behind the counter? b/c I seem to think they don't, as they are so lackadaisical w/ these and even in-store pick ups (they usually never have mine waiting if I go w/in 1.5 hours of ordering) Usually I always grab the game or dvd off the floor and go to the CS counter. I just don't want them to run out of H.E. and be SOL...

I'd say cancel the preorder and order the Hardened Edition online for an in-store pickup. It will be waiting for you to pick up at the customer service desk. Then, when you have the game, show them the RZ coupon and they'll either re-ring your order up with the coupon or they will have you take the item to the normal line to re-ring it up for you. I'm not 100% sure if the Hardened Edition will be sold out, but if you do the in-store pick-up route, at least you'll know you have a copy of it.

thx for the coupon. will give it a try.

btw, fellow angelenos, a local radio station is reporting wla pico store will sell the game at 9 p.m. monday.

(not that i want to stand in line any longer than i would otherwise, but i know ppl would appreciate the heads up; will try to confirm later this morning.)

UPDATE: first rep i talked to confirmed it, but she forwarded me to the admin office, who denied it. lol. i hate retailers. (i bet they're doing it, but aren't announcing yet.)

ok, just checked fine print and it does say "not valid on sale prices and any other promotions ..." so yeah i'll still try but unlikely to work on pre-order promos.

Thanks for the head up, but I think i am still going to do the Amazon deal.. trying to wait out the storm til last minute to see if there are any outrageous deals. i did just get an e-mail from Gamestop with a coupon in it that gives me 20% off any pre-owned product when I buy it at the same time I buy MW2, so that is pretty tempting to be able to do that and then get MW2 at midnight instead of waiting for the mail..

What kind of town do you live in that there is a madness at TRU? The TRU in Houston that I go to is dead....especially during the time these gift card are good (10-2). I'm going to cry when they go out of business or leave Texas....less competition for BB.

Yeah TRU is giving out a $20 GC with MW2.

I'll be picking my copy up at BB at Midnight. I will never step foot in a Gamestop store again, so Best Buy is my only other option for a midnight release outside of Wal-Mart, but I try to avoid that place like the plague.

I have a $10 BB gift card and will get another one with MW2, so I am satisfied.

I'm picking up my Hardened Edition pre-order at midnight at BBY, using the $10 RZGC coupon to get the gift card and banking $75 towards my Gamers Club bonus, which should put me over the $150 threshold, giving me another $10 Gamers Club bonus certificate in a couple of weeks.

And he asked in the wrong thread as well..

I'm going to sum up who this deal is good for:
Those that want the SAME deal that Amazon/Walmart is offering but instead of waiting for shipping.

Those who couldnt give a shit that it is TRU.





That felt good.

just signed up for rewards r us and printed my temporary card (took less than 3 minutes). I already have a 30 dollar gift card, also got a 15% coupon in the mail, so that's 15% off and a 20 dollar gift card, that's about 31 for the game.

since they're having two offers wouldn't it work out to be

Modern Warfare 2 (for Rewards R Us members only)
$20 Gift Card Tuesday 10AM - 2PM
or $30 Gift Card if you buy MW2 and one of these games


$10 Gift Card when you buy one or $25 Gift Card when you buy two of these PS3 or 360 games,
Dragon Age - $59.99


so if your a TRU rewards member

if you buy MW2 & a game from the list (Dragon Age) you get $30,

But since your buying Dragon Age it says you get $10 too

shouldn't you get both making MW2 = $29.99
& Dragon Age - $49.99

I was wanting to get the MW2 game + another game (Band Hero) for the $30 GC... And I have the $10 off $75 coupon from the newspaper ad last weekend (and a $5 off Band Hero coupon).

However, I just saw that Fry's will have MW2 for $50! Any chance TRU will PM the $50 for MW2?

Does TRU PM other advertised prices? I couldn't really find anything on this...
