For their Black Friday festivities (on Saturday in Canada), Old Navy is giving away New Super Mario Bros. U with a purchase of $40 or more on Saturday November 24th. Stores will open at 7 am and they'll give out wristbands for people that lined up. Says it's one game per person, family or household for people 16 or older, but I don't think they really care.

Basically get NSMBU for $40 at Old Navy, plus you get some free clothes. Supplies are limited...

Nice deal. In the past, these things have sold out within the first hour, so don't be slackers, go line up!

Whoa, nice. I didn't expect Old Navy to do that in Canada. I'll be in line.

I remember when they did this with Lego Rock Band. People lined up at like 2 or 3AM to get the game. lol

Awesome deal, too bad there is no Old Navy location near where I live.

...also too bad I don't have a Wii U!

Amazing deal, too bad you will have to line up 5-10 hours in advance for any hopes at getting the game.

if these lineups are true it's not worth it. Time is money and that's less than my wage.

The good thing is that they'll just give the bracelets out early and then you can leave. The bad news is that you'll probably have to wait around for hours anyway. lol

Do you work at 7 am on a Saturday? Get paid more than $60 an hour?

Read the fine print, this is US only.

Since Old Navy's Canadian website for this sale lists the game, I would assume that this deal would be in Canada, too. I remember Dance Central and Lego Rock Band were given out in both countries.

If you have to line up 5-10 hours in advance and the game is worth $60, that's $6-12 per hour in savings via waiting. I think he means he would rather work 1-2 hours and buy the game.

It specifically mentions this deal is US only on the site...

I've been to a few of these Old Navy giveaways and they do have long lines. We usually line up an hour before they open (like at 6 am) and we get our wristbands.

You're looking at the American site.

I suspect he may be trying to dissuade others from lining up on Saturday.

If it's the american site, then why does nearly every other deal on the exact same page mention Canada?

Every other deal including this one.
