I know this has already been posted, but I have the info too along with the rest of the ad. It is mix and match on all PS2, XB, and GC games(NO GBA are part of the sale...I didn't leave them out). This year they are being strict about everything(similar to last years, but they really want stores to follow it now). For TRU employees, the store director should know of the policy but I think it will be in an e-mail or map later. It's not valid on previous purchases, its up to store discretion to limit quantities(no buying 3 of the same title), and if you return a game you can only exchange it for a game that came out before 10/30 or get $33 credit towards another game. Edit - YMMV on all those rules. I'm sure some stores will be nice about exchanging.

TRU is also changing their price match policy. Now you only have 14 days after you buy something to come back to the store with another store's ad and get the price difference. And they are not matching any ads at all for the Thursday-Sunday of Thanksgiving.

Here's the rest of the 10/24 ad:
XB Action Replay $19.99(reg $29.99)
XB Starter Kit $19.99(reg. $29.99)
XB Pro Gamers Bundle $29.99(reg. $59.99)
XB Cyberpad 2 $9.99(reg. $19.99)
PS2 mini wireless controller $29.99(reg. $39.99)
PS2 Starter kit $19.99(reg. $29.99)
GBA SP Ultimate Pack $39.99(Reg. $49.99)
GC G force controller black, orange, purple, or indigo $9.99(reg. $14.99)
And of course the Buy 2 get 1 free deal(which is probably the only one most people will use)

Edit - It is online, too, but it says something like see online for online offer. I know last year it was slightly different online. I think it only let you get 3 $40 games or 3 $50 games and you couldn't mix and match $40 and $50 titles, and it wasn't valid on all titles, only a selection of titles.

If you return an item with a gift receipt, each game will show up as $33 with the gift receipt. Now you may get lucky and they may let you do an even exchange for another game, but they are supposed to either tell you that you only get $33 back since the person bought it as part of a sale(if you want store credit), or they may allow you to trade it for a game that was already released before the sale ended(there's no way you'd get $50 credit back, the best they'd do is let you get another $50 game that came out before 10/30).

Eligible games list now added (ripped from SD and reformatted)
Not sure if this is just for online or what, but here it is:

[quote name='SunCe177']I was in toys r us an hour ago and asked an employee about the sale and he said that you CANT mix and match different consoles, he said it has to be 3 PS2, 3 Gamecube or 3 Xbox.Is this true? or is this guy just an idiot?[/quote]

Who knows if he is right or not, just buy 3 games (mix and match) and then come back to adjust. If they say they have to be the same console, then return, and rebuy the 3 on the same console you want. Make sure you don't open them until you do this of course :)
 
I found something interesting. Ever since the codes came out and was render useless until Sunday, I kept going back to Amazon and checking whether the codes work. And just now, when I comes up to the payment page (where you can get a chance to put in the code), it said "You have $49.99 in gift certificates or promotional credit available for use toward this purchase. Would you like to apply it? " And I didn't even apply the online code. However, this may have happen because I tried to order online on Wednesday (or whenever the codes first came out), but I never went through the order, so this may have come from it. Can someone also check whether they have the same thing under their payment page? Or am I just the lucky person...
 
That happened to me when I originally ordered. I tried out the coupon, which worked, and then I messed around with the items in my cart. When I was messing around with my cart, it seemed like the coupon wasn't there, so I tried to put the coupon in. It looked like it didn't work, but at the checkout, it said that message you mentioned. So it may be that you entered the coupon while it was still working and Amazon still remembered it. Or maybe the coupons are working now :)

The guy's an idiot. Trust the people here.

As I said, I bought Men of Valor (XBox) and Nocturne (PS2), and was told that I could pick ANY 49.99 game as the freebie if I brought in my receipt- the guy I talked to was very clear on that. He was also very forthcoming about the sale itself, and assured me that mixing and matching was absolutely fine. I trusted him. I also trust tubtub.
 
[quote name='rpgfan313'][quote name='weaponx666'][quote name='rpgfan313']^^^^
that's exactly what i did. I got Shin Megami and Paper Mario 2. As for third game haven't decided yet. I originally bought Shin Megami last week at ebgames. So going to return my previous Shin Megami at ebgames and get DOAU there. Still 1 more game i need to choose.[/quote]

I bought a $30 game a few nights ago. Should I go in on Sunday and pick 2 $30 games, show them my receipt for my prior purchase, and hope I only have to pay 30 more dollars to get 2 games?[/quote]

not sure if it will work if you opened it. Since i think deal isn't on previous purchases. What im doing is leaving my games unopened and returning them. Then im just going to rebuy them so i can get my 3rd game free.[/quote]

I haven't opened it and I know the deal is not on prior purchases, yet other people here are saying they bought 2 games this week then are going on Sunday to get their 3rd for free. People at TRU told them they can do this. So I'm wondering if I can do it backwards, and use the 1 I bought a few days ago, then buy another Sunday and get a third Sunday for free. Any help?

It probably depends on your store and their policies. When they say it's not valid on prior purchases, I'm guessing it refers to opened games. All these people saying they can buy games early and get a free game later would be the same if they returned their games next week and redid the purchase (with the free game). Saying they can get their free game later just saves them the extra step of having to return them. That's just my guess.

Where have you seen bad reviews of GTA San Andreas? All I've seen are glowing previews.

they have been pretty glowing. It's just that the things that other people seem to like are kind of turning me off of the game. At least to the point that I'd rather wait to get it after hearing what a friend or two has to say
 
[quote name='miriamleo']Time to get some GBA games. 3 for $60 = $20 each.[/quote]

read the first page of the thread. GBA games are not included
 
[quote name='FaintDeftone']I think I might grab Xmen Legends and Tales of Symphonia and get Burnout 3 for free.[/quote]

That might be hard to do since you can't mix/match consoles.

There has only been one review, which is OPM magazine, which gave it a 5/5. So whoever has told you the game is bad, doesn't know what they are talking about unless they pirated it.
 
Hmm added 3 XBox Games for $49.99 and it wasn't working with code.
Not working with $39.99 code either. Did Galleon, Kingdom Under Fire and Otogi 2 which were ALL in stock!
 
If anyone is on how fast do you think Burnout 3 will drop in price? I really like the game but I don't want to get it if it going to drop fast, but my only other choice would be KOF: MI.

They're not working again? I wonder why they go on and off.
