I was at the Emeryville, CA TRU and everything is on sale 10% to 30% off.

In regards to video games:

1. There is a table for $9.99 videogames. From what I saw, there were a ton of Tron (Xbox), Killzone (Ps2), Some copies of Doom 3 regular edition (xbox), Lots of Blood Rayne 2 (mostly Xbox but other versions too).

2. There was a sign that said "Videogame accessories 30% off"

3. All other videogames were 10% off

All this may change in the future but for now, thats what I can report. Its too bad to because I actually like that Toys R Us. The people there are very helpful and as far as I am concerned, much better at customer service than EB games, Best Buy, etc. When I was looking for a toy for my 1 year old nephew, I had help from not just one but 2 people. Its all a damn shame.

A lot of those people that work at that TRU are a little bit older and I assume they are supporting their families and paying their rent. I hope they all find good jobs after the store closes.

I really like that place. Sucks that they're closing.

Looks like someone at Fatwallet noticed. Here is what they posted:

I went there on Sunday, looking for a wireless 360 controller, but all they had left were 360 memory cards and some 360 games.

Sucks that these people are losing their jobs, I was lucky that our store was not one of the stores being shut down. From what I hear though, a lot of these closed stores are being converted into Babies R Us'.

they will be losing their jobs. all of the employees of the closing stores have to re-apply to the new store.

with best buy on one side of the street and gamestop on the other, and two walmarts within 15 miles away,It's easy to see why TRU is closing that store. It still sucks though

last time I was there, signs were everywhere in the R-Zone.

Is there anything really worth taking the F bus from Berkeley for? It's not a long ride but since the bus comes once ever half an hour, waiting for it is a pain if one of the buses come late.

Its kinda hit or miss. The best deals are whats on the bargin table really and that gets changed every so often.

I say get a ride from someone if you can....or a bike.

Has anyone been able to pick up Baten Kaitos w/ bonus for the green tag price in any of the bay area TRUs? There's a ton of copies at the Daly City TRU.

I heard that this has been bumped up to 20% and 40%? Can anyone confirm if this is true?

Yup it has been 20%/40% for a week now. I was there last Tuesday and got an XBox 360 Live 12 months cards for $30. The selection isnt that great anymore, lots of crap games and very little accessaries (mostly 3rd party starter kits). Better hurry.

They have 1 copy of Quake 4 (x360) right now. They also have some copies of Geist, which are now 7.98.

Yah i was just there at too... still 20%/40% on games/accessories. As we know TRU marks high on their games so the 20% off still isn't great. Not much accessories left other than a new XBox 360 face plates, S-Video cable, Component cables, 3-Month Live starter kit, 3 mos and 1 month Live cards. They still got quite a bit of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat left (20% off), but not much of anything else. Their strategy guides are still 20% off, mostly not-as-recent games like Jade Empire, Chaos Theory, PDZ, Q4, NFSMW, etc. The $10 table got lots of Tron for XBox and 5 or so Giest, as Freshwillis said, they're $8. The GBA $10 bin has lots of Poker games and F-Zero and some war game. Toys are still only 20% off, with bikes 25% and DVDs/VHS at 30% off.

SOS Trooper, do they still have that metallic blue Xbox 360 faceplate?

Yes, but only 1 left when I visited yesterday. They also got 1 silver left, as well as one 3rd party Tsz army style plate.
