Still sick :/

You guys will probably go before me.

I'm sick as well. Got a nasty flu.

But I will be going this Friday.

The only gaming "deal" is: Buy any console, get one game for that console 50% off. Valid this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday only.

All games from the old store were sold.

All other unsold merchandise (very few) were sold to small 3rd party stores.

So nothing good?

Yep. But I'm going anyways to see what they've got.

Lemme Know.
I'm looking for Wii games that went on clearence recently.

There was a coupon in today's Mercury News for $5 off a $25 purchase at the new store. I'm not going to SJ for $5 so didn't read the fine print, if any. The ad did mention the 50% off a game when you buy a new system as well (talked about upthread)

hey guys. i was at the new TRU-BRU store in San Jose earlier today..... and the place is unbelievable...

got some pix for those who want to see firsthand or get an idea what the store looks like when TRU & BRU are under one roof.

so, what's in store in the new store?


saw tons of Wii at Electronics...(they don't want to call it R'zone...so electronics it is)

saw OP Voyager. Dlx BumbleBee, etc. (bottom line, decent stocks)

saw a girl (TRU associate?) dressed up as Barbie Princess (cosplayer?).....

and she's cute.......dayum....... i should've taken her picture... better yet... going back there on Saturday.....

a new store with barbie cosplayer? worth the trip.

THAT STORE IS THE PLACE TO BE.
I'm going to Cosplay with that lady.

a barbie cosplayer? lol, is that what it's gonna take for me to go down a few miles to check out the new TRU?

Cute girls cosplaying?

Shit, see you guys there!

That TRU is HUGE. It has around three times the employees compared to other TRUs.

On Friday (Grand Opening day), there were over 30 Wiis just sitting there. Because it was unadvertised, not many people found out.

They also had some Elites w/ the 2 games. Pro consoles and Arcade too.

The games are all behind the glass, but they are NOT behind the check-out counter. Meaning no need for those display boxes--if you want to check on a game, just look at the display glass.

However, their inventory is slightly off for now (no DMC4 and Lost Odyssey, but had Prof. Layton (DS)).

I visited twice on Friday, once on Saturday.


There are no clearance games. But for visiting, you get some free gifts on the way out. They aren't good, but free gifts is free gifts.


I'd also like to comment on the location of that TRU. We now have a TRU, Best Buy, and Target all within 1 minute walking distance of one another. That is insane. And more stores are being built.

What was the free gift?

You mean free gifts?

Nothing worthwhile, but you get a frisbee, sunshade (those things you put on your windows for shade), brochure on "Earth's Best Organic" cookies, and a bag of cookies from the brochure.

The cookies are pretty good.

Not much of a value, but free is free.



It's ~10 minutes away from a university (no freeway at all!). So after a day at school, I can hop onto a PC to check CAG, then off I go to TRU.

Lucky You.
I don't feel like driving at all.

I don't know if you're a guy or girl, but if you're a guy (which sounds a little... unlikely), you can at least check out those cute cosplayers people are talking about.


Seriously though, I didn't even see any cosplayers when I went. Could be the fact that when I went to the store, the first place I visited was the electronics section. Then my mind went blank when I went to every other section.

Lol.
Anyways...
I'll go eventually...
