But it might help someone save a few bucks. If people think this deserves a thread I will start one but with exclusions I felt it wasn't really a hot deal. Here is one link with info or you can go to the interwebs for more info http://blogs.wsj.com/corporate-intel.../?mod=yahoo_hs

'Tis the job of this website to figure out what the complete list of 20 online retailers that BB will price match with in the next two weeks flat or CAG has let us all down. Anyone game for creating a wiki thread to get this started? I would but I'm feeling too lazy this morning...

So, I guess Toys R Us doesn't carry XCOM? I called two stores and they haven't even heard of it, and it's not in their systems. Well that sucks.

That's 15% tax? I think he's in PA tax is 6%(8% in Philly) & depending on how close he is to Philly/King of Prussia tax free DE is only 45 minutes away.

Just left BB on Goddard Boulevard & as usual they were more than willing enuf to take more business away from the TRU on mall blvd .3 miles away. Just bring the ad.

not very strict at all. People stand outside of TRU during some sales & clean the store out of games even though there's a limited per person.

probably time to finally pick up borderlands 2 & maybe that skylanders set for the kidz..

Just got back from TRU with Tekken Tag 2 and Resident Evil 6. The gift card they gave me expires on February 2nd, 2013, just in case anyone is wondering. Also, they had PS3 & 360 copies of XCOM, but that seems very YMMV.

It wasnt a skylanders gift card?

Wish I didn't just buy NBA 2k13. I would have bit on this with 2k and Borderlands 2. Ahh well.

most likely most stores will be doing some sort of Thanksgiving ad.

No, it's a generic TRU promotional gift card with the date on the bottom.

I just cant come up with anything I want thats MSRP right now, the games I'm interested in (Borderlands 2, Dishonored, Sleeping Dogs), I can gladly get for $30-$40 this holiday (and avoid the hour drive to my TRU)

The deal ain't happening. Got turned down at my toys r us. They knew nothing of any sales other than buy one 19.99 and get on 40% off

It's in the ing Sunday ad.

Ok I think I'm about to do this. Already having $50 in GC makes this deal tits. Get Borderslands 2, my $50 TRU GC back and $43GC at Best Buy.

Off-topic here, but is it possible to PM multiple items at one time at BB?

Maybe not in San diego stores? The guy there was real nice and sat on the computer and went through all their ads as well for about 20 min and couodnt find anything. I wasn't able to find any info online other than this topic. Oh well.

I just got 2k and Borderlands 2, the deal comes up when they scan the items at the register lol. FYI I got the skylanders gift card... The guy tried to apply it to my purchase, but was denied.

both you guys fail for not being able to use the internet.

Also, there's a big difference between clerk incompetence and announcing this deal doesn't exist.

I got the regular promo gift card that says active in 6 hours...not skylanders, so I can use this one tomorrow, correct?

I'm in San Diego this weekend and I have the Sunday ad from the Union Tribune in front of me. The employee was 100% wrong, the deal is valid in San Diego.
