[quote name='Wanderlai']I'll get Far Cry pm'd in some combination at Best Buy. They never give me a problem.[/QUOTE]

what do you mean in "some combination" i might wanna try this too...i was hoping (long shot) that they would pm far cry and i could get doom 3: ROE and NG: black...

thanks
 
Anyone know if this applies to all Toys R US branded stores? The store near me changed into a "Geoffrey" a few years ago, and I haven't even stepped inside to see if they sell games or not.
 
Alright I went and now Im back.
1. They accepted the ten dollar off coupon so dont be afraid too use it.
2. Basically all the new games are behind the counter and not on the shelves so just ask for it thats how I found socom 3 and the warriors.
My purchases: Zatch Bell Mamodo Battles, Socom 3, The Warriors, DDR Extreme (for a friend), DDR Extreme 2 (also for a friend), Indigo Prophecy (again for a friend).
Total was 184 and some change. Overall not bad.
Im may and this is a very big may go back and buy soul caliber 3, WWE DOR 2 and gundam seed never ending tomorrow...but I have so much too play is seems unnecessary to just stock up.

where is this ten dollar coupon?
 
First, it absolutely sucks that you can't choose any game off the TRU site. It's false advertising.

Second, I went to my TRU and they had display copies out for Stella Dues, Shining Force Neo, and Radiata stories. But no copies. I was annoyed.

Third, I ended up getting Battalion Wars, Makai Kingdom, and Fire Emblem.

I may go back and get Three Kingdoms X, Xmen 2, and Burnout Revenge. Then trade some of those in when they get in the RPG's above.

Also, I may get a batch of $30 or $40 games. Either RE4, Metal Slug 4+5, and Indigo Prophecy or KOTOR2, Katamari Love, and Somehting Else.
 
[quote name='argyle']I'm hoping for 3 of these 4:

Ratchet: Deadlocked (this is the main one I want)
Jak X
********Nightmare before christmas******
RE4

All for ps2. If I can get 3 of those w/ one being Ratchet, I'll be happy.[/QUOTE]


freaking awesome game
 
ugh, shipping and tax kill the online version of this. almost got 3 of the cheapie 19.99, but in the end it ended up only saving 3 bucks per game :(
 
I was pretty excited about this deal cuz I wanted Kingdom hearts, FFX and another.

But then I remembered I had 20 MCD BB bux and just ordered KH online and now im goin in store for FFX and instead of $40 for 3, ill just take $0.00 for the 2 I really wanted anyways =)
 
Argh, the only games I really want now are THAW, Mario DDR, and Tiger Woods 06 (all for GC), but it is such a waste to get make my free game a lesser value.
 
Here's a question regarding the GT glitch:

If I use said glitch to get two GT games and a third non-GT game (say, at $49.99 each, before discount), can I later return the two GT games unopened to TRU and get my money back on both? If so, wouldn't this be getting the non-GT game free?

As a seperate issue, there's been talk of a $10 off coupon. How does this work with the B2G1 sale, and where can I get one?

how many times will this be asked... NO you cant return the 2 games.. you must either Return all 3 or none at all... at least around here
 
[quote name='Samurai T']Yeah, I see. I'm going to see if they add it later in the week, since I also want SCIII.[/QUOTE]

they've never done that in the previous sales
 
Any word if games coming out this week will be added? Ex Soul Calibur 3 or Resident Evil 4. Did this happen in previous years?

EDIT: Guess the previous post answered that.
 
The $10 off $50 coupon came out a few weeks back. I received mine attached to a catalog that came in the mail. I heard other people mention they found it in some area papers 2 weeks back. The coupon actually was the size and look of a Toysrus gift card and as stated said $10 off $50 purchase.

If anyone finds a good source for it I sure they will let us know, but for now I would consider it done...
 
I scored

1st transaction
3 Copies SMT:DDD

2nd
Makai Kingdom
Fire Emblem GC
Free:Atelier Iris

3rd transaction 29.99 each
Doom 3 Deluxe
Stranger's Wrath
Forza

WOOT WOOT WOOT

that is about 500 hours of gaming ahead of me
 
It may not be available online, but in stores, if a game is on the shelves, it counts. I know a lot of people picked up GTA:SA when it came out last year in the middle of the sale.
 
[quote name='ananag112']Where can you get the $10 coupon? Is it mailed out or something?[/QUOTE]

Coupon was in the paper a few weeks back, ten dollars off any purchase 50 and up, excluding baby stuff and game hardware. Works fine with the sale this I confirmed.
 
Went to the store this morning in Jacksonville when it opened at 11:00. Like the previous poster said, not all of the games are up on the shelves, so just go to the counter and ask them for what you want and save some time.

Inventory of some games looked sketchy (especially GameCube), so I would go early and get what you want now and then trade it back in later in the week if its not released yet. I couldn't find 3 games for $49.99 that I wanted today, so I just picked up 2 copies of Mario Baseball and a copy of Pokemon XD but I'll go back on Thursday and try pick some thing else up to swap.
 
[quote name='buster90']This deal sucks anyway I don't see RE4 or Ratchet Deadlocked or Sims 2 on those lists.[/QUOTE]

that's cause they come out on tuesday
 
Just got back from TRU. I picked up Ace Combat 5, Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood, Mario Baseball, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, Doom CE, the new Dora game, and Strawberry Shortcake (GBA) all for $151 and change. I had the cashier ring up the Ace Combat 5 first and the green tag glitch works just fine. And before you guys go off, the Dora and shortcake games are for my daughter.

It's a great time to be a cheap ass gamer.
 
The B&M route is definitely better if you can manage it. My first two games were easy enough to pick out; the 3rd took a lot of thinking over several titles:

Fire Emblem: PoR
Battalion Wars
Geist

(Pikmin 2, Metroid Prime 2, and Hulk: Ultimate Destruction were among my other candidates. I'm sure some of my friends will hassle me for passing up on MP2, but I've played the first one to death and I'm ready for a change of pace.)
 
[quote name='DarienW']Anyone know what would happen if I return 1 of the 3 games I got with a gift receipt? Will I get the full $50 or only $33?[/QUOTE]

will they even LET you return just one of the games?
 
Sorry if this has been posted already...

But if you're doing the TRU online deal in NY, 3 $49.99 games with the promotion come out at $38.54 each with tax and shipping. Not too hot. I think I'll just wait since I'm not by a TRU B&M>
 
The glitch didn't work for me. I'm thinking it has something to do with the fact tat two of the games were in cases and the other one was a tag. I don't really care because I can just take that game back, but I wanted to give you unscrupulous bastards a heads-up ;).
 
[quote name='swetooth9']will they even LET you return just one of the games?[/QUOTE]

Last yrear I retunred one of the games with my normal receipt and they actually refunded me the cash. This was a transaction in which I used the glitch on two GT $50 games and a new release. I got both games for a total of $12 after that one.
 
[quote name='depascal22'] I had the cashier ring up the Ace Combat 5 first and the green tag glitch works just fine.[/QUOTE]


Wait, so If I get 2 $30 games and one $50 game, and the first two ring up for $60 the $50 one will come up free!?!
 
[quote name='Gosha']Reality's Fringe, what games were they?[/QUOTE]

Silent Hill 3, Xenosaga 2, and Kingdom Hearts. Xenosaga 2 was the one that was a slip. I wanted them, but I'm low on the fundage. I can return Kingdom hearts for cash(like last time) or a credit. If credit is the case, I'll just wait for Lost Chapters. Or better yet, use it to buy 2 more GT games and get a 3rd one free. 5 games for $30? Sounds good to me.

??!! want to know as well

I don't think it's an awful deal considering that if you bought 3 $49.99 games in a NY tru store it would be $162.90 with tax. With this online deal you would be saving $15.76 per game for a total of $47.28 saved altogether and that's including shipping and tax. That's a pretty good deal even for an online promotion, it's the best you can get without waiting for price drops
