It's slim pickings again, but there are a few things worth mentioning, such as Target selling their Punch-Out!! + Nunchuck bundles for $50.

Toys R Us is throwing in a $10 gift card with the purchase of one select Wii game or $25 gift card with the purchase of 2. There is also a gift card deal for Wii Sports Resort for Rewards R Us members only.

Read on for the eligible Wii games, details on the Wii Sports Resort offer, and the rest of the deals.


I've stripped out all the MSRP items and including my top picks in bold.

usually when will their giftcard expires?

[bardockkun]

usually when will their giftcard expires?

I Want to say promotional giftcards expire at about the end of the year.

[acyw13]

i see...
im thinking should i pick up two wii sports resort

[ShinAkuma]

You forgot the part about where if you have a reward card, you get a $20 gift card for Wii Sports Resort if you come in between 10am and 2pm on the 26th. If you buy two games from the list it becomes a 30 dollar giftcard, and three games makes it a 45 dollar giftcard. Otherwise the what OP said holds true for the rest of the week.

[ShinAkuma]

Also, if you reserve a copy of Wii Sports Resort beforehard, that nets you a $5 gift card at pickup. This has the potential to become the equivalent of buy two get one free.

[mastikeg]

I just recently had a promo gift card expire on me. Got a $20 for buying RE5 and was going to save it until i saw some nice sale on a game. While checking out the card i realized it had a expiration date on it that had already came and gone.

[acyw13]

so gc $5 (pre-order) + $20 gc (reward card 10 am- 2pm) + $10 gc ( ad) = $35 giftcard if i buy one ?
gc $10 (pre-order) + $40 gc (reward card 10 am- 2pm) + $25 gc ( ad) = $65 giftcard if i buy two ?

[Killbomb]

usually when will their giftcard expires?

I got a $20 giftcard with Ghostbusters and it expires at the end of this month. Their sales have been lackluster so I will probably end up getting a 1600 MS points card.

[ShinAkuma]

so gc $5 (pre-order) + $20 gc (reward card 10 am- 2pm) + $10 gc ( ad) = $35 giftcard if i buy one ?
gc $10 (pre-order) + $40 gc (reward card 10 am- 2pm) + $25 gc ( ad) = $65 giftcard if i buy two ?

No, you only get the $20/30 gift card instead of the $10/25 during that time window, so if you reserve and have a reward card, you're getting $25 or $35 in gift cards at most.

[alanamaslama]

usually when will their giftcard expires?

Usually at the end of the next month. So if you buy a game in July, the promotional gift card should expire on the last day of August. The same time span was given for the RE5 promotion, as well as the games they released a month ago (i.e., Prototype, RFG, etc.).

[hypertails02]

Hmmm...

Best Buy PM for Boom Blox: Bash Party:
$39.99 - $10 = $29.99. I'll take it!

[MidnightMetal]

Yeah will definitely do the Best Buy PM and get Bash Party and Wii Sports 2 for ~$65! Hell yeah I'll take it

[acyw13]

No, you only get the $20/30 gift card instead of the $10/25 during that time window, so if you reserve and have a reward card, you're getting $25 or $35 in gift cards at most.

thx, now i get it
buy wii sports resort and get a wii motion plus for free, kinda nice

[acyw13]

Yeah will definitely do the Best Buy PM and get Bash Party and Wii Sports 2 for ~$65! Hell yeah I'll take it

best buy will pm the gc part as well ????

[botticus]

No, you only get the $20/30 gift card instead of the $10/25 during that time window, so if you reserve and have a reward card, you're getting $25 or $35 in gift cards at most.

Wow, I might have to take advantage of that.

[splintercell]

So if you preorder Wii Sports Resort, have a rewards card, and come in during that time window, you're paying $49.99 and get $25 in gift cards? That's not bad. Thanks, OP!

[InvaderZim]

The TRU register system does weird things with giftcards. I tried to stack the $10 off $50 coupon with a free $10 giftcard when you buy a game offer and it would not stack.

[Momouchi]

I think Best Buy pming this will be YMMV. Their policy says they won't PM gift cards, but I remember last time some people managed to get it PMed.

[harperr]

You forgot the part about where if you have a reward card, you get a $20 gift card for Wii Sports Resort if you come in between 10am and 2pm on the 26th. If you buy two games from the list it becomes a 30 dollar giftcard, and three games makes it a 45 dollar giftcard. Otherwise the what OP said holds true for the rest of the week.

Is this in the ad also?

[AC2k8]

The system takes the amount of the gift card off the price of the game, then charges the value of the gift card on the receipt. Basically, so no one can return the item for full price and get a free gift card out of the deal.

[nuttyturnip]

Where did you hear about this? I've got a rewards card, but haven't seen anything about this.

[Gears24]

noting for me i dont got no Wii to bad

[triforcer]

next time guys, but a regular gift card with the promo gift card. regular toysrus gift cards don't expire for around 2 years (in california, i dont believe they expire at all). i still have the 20 bucks from the RE5 promotion.

[orochi]

I spotted this ad at work during my break and took a bad but visible cellshot. Nothing good really.

Thanks for the heads up!

[Scorch]

Must be a Nintendo wiik in celebration of Wii Sports Resort or something.

[CaoPi]

Punch out with nunchuck?

[Felder71]

Punch out with nunchuck?

Target has a Punch Out bundle that includes a nunchuck that I believe goes for $55 dollars as opposed to $50 without. I guess it's on sale for the same price as the game.
