TRU BOGO coming Friday, May 28th *List added - now with prices* + $7.99 games.

hoshi

CAGiversary!
This one is a bit odd. TRU is trying to clear out its "aged inventory" now. So, for the next month starting Friday, over 800 games are eligible for BOGO. I can't leave work with a list that big without raising some eyebrows. So, give me a bit to somehow get that list if no one else does. I can say with certainty that 99% of the remaining N64, PS1, DC, GBC, NGPC, GG, and even Genesis stock qualifies. Some TRU, somewhere, still has Game Gear and Genesis games, otherwise they wouldn't have been on that list. :)

For PS2, XB, GC, and GBA: They call it "aged inventory," which means it's been discontinued as well. You can actually tell which games have been discontinued by looking at the shelf tags. If there's a lone "X" on the far right of the shelf tag, then TRU will likely not be stocking the item anymore. Every game on the list of 800+ is X-ed out, but I think only older games are on that list. For instance, Prince of Persia for XBox is X-ed out, because TRU doesn't want anymore of them or can't get anymore of them. However, that isn't exactly "aged." Though, I could be wrong and it could be sitting there on that list. I guess I need to just go take a better look at the list. I'm also getting some wires crossed with that big-ass Best Buy blowout from the past couple of days. So, none of that list stuck with me. Whatever. Stay tuned.

Edit by Hoshi: This was just posted today. Also starting on the 28th, all PS1 and PS2 games in the budget program are $7.99. (Those same games that TRU has had BOGO deals for on and off since Christmas.) If your store wasn't cleared out by dealers or some such like mine was, you can still find games like Hitman 2, DMC, VF4 Evo, GT3 A-Spec, Silpheed, Sly Cooper (non-GH), and others I know I'm forgetting. I'm pretty sure they're already picked through by now, after two BOGO deals this year on them. But, I thought some of the newer CAGs would like the heads-up.

It's Toys R Us. Am I the only person that's seeing keywords in posts as underlined and defined in pop-up text? Maybe I am losing it. I thought my TV was talking to me a few minutes ago, while I was blasting Cold through my headphones...

Damn, I need sleep.

"We're there, dude."
 
If you choose to accept this mission Hoshi, if caught we will disavow any knowledge of your activities. This thread will self destruct in five... four...

J/K. Comon, it's TRU. I worked at TRU as a kid once. Just wait til no one is looking and snag a copy or something. But then again, knowing their crack security, they may have cameras in the eyes of every action figure over there :p
 
Hey don't get too worked up about that BOGO list. I saw it last night and nothing really jumped out at me...I mean if along with this deal they would just markdown some of these old ass games then mabye they would have something. For example, they still have Tennis 2k2 ps2 and Sky Gunner priced at 49.99! I think D2 and Illbleed are still around $25, Dragon Warrior 3 for gbc and Dragon Warrior for ps1 was $30, front mission 3 was $40. I did print the huge ass list but apparently I must have left it at a computer when I was looking to see what stores in my area had what, and I dont work there again until Saturday Sorry... Hopefully someone will take it upon themselves to post that 800+ title list, but it aint gonna be me. However if no one posts it or if anyone is around the Tucker Ga TRU Saturday and is looking for figures and whatnot, I might be on the floor that day pretending I'm working and I'll give you a list.
 
Hey guess what? I found the list in my bag! The bad news is I just got off my second job (UPS) and I'm going to sleep. Goodnight...
 
C,mon ben, wake up and post the list!!!

Whenever someone posts it, might as well just list the Xbox, PS2, GC, and GBA titles. Sounds like the older system games will all be BOGO.
 
yeah...what a bastard....on thursday mornings when i get home from work, im tired as shit...but i still post the cc, bb, and target ads asap


could've at least not mentioned it, instead of rubbing it in our faces and making us wait

i just called toys r us and asked them if this deal was going on...they directed me to a few different ppl (who were all extremely nice for some reason)....noone knew anything about it and said that unfortunately, it wasn't true...they even said that deals never start on friday anyway....so im still calling bullshit on this one....if im wrong....call me a stupid whore...we'll see
 
why would it start this friday if it were for next month? Friday is the 28th its not like its the 1st of the month, just seems a lil fishy

Aw c'mon, don't go all "n00b" on us!

This is sounding less like a "deal" and more like a junior high Mortal Kombat II rumor.

"I swear, Shao Khan zaps you with the scepter if you freeze the guy ten times in a row!" Bah!

Well I hope my skepticism is proven wrong. We shall see.

Why would several TRU employees go through the trouble to make up a list of old games that should have been gone long ago.

As far as the prices go benboxer gave a good example of how old games no one wants are still full price. I myself have seen that Megaman 64 game at every TRU in my area and no one in their right mind is gonna buy it for that price.

Edit: good timing, thanks for the list.
 
TrustCompany:

I work at TRU too, when it comes to random unadvertised sales (as this one's sounding like it will be), we often have weird start times...and odds are nobody in the store, aside from the R-Zone world leader (the head video game guy/gal) knows it's going on...maybe not even them, if they're not a video game fan. Kinda sad...but this sounds like the kinda thing TRU would do.

I don't know, I go in to work today, I'll look into it. But this sounds like the kinda thing we'd do.

Dumb question alert!!!

How will I know what games this sale applies to (besides looking at the list)? Anyone know if they will be marked like the "value games" were or will they be in a bin?
 
what happened to hoshi???
i thought he was gonna get us the list he saw.
this sounds good, but i didn't get shit at the BB 4.99 deal, 2 stores in STL didn't have anything good :(

i hope this is true...

I was wondering the same thing.

I was also wondering if this deal would be represented online in any way?

Read the first post, second paragraph.
 
There are quite a few games there I want, I'm just gonna hold out just in case Best Buy decides to have a restock on the $5 games.

Oh, and Arc the Lad Collection will go fast. Get there before the dealers and resellers snatch 'em.
 
[quote name='karmapolice620']like defender said the downfall of videogames[/quote]

Okay.. Look what they're clearing - Genesis, Game Gear, N64, PSX, and old next-gen stuff. Read the list again. That's one major problem with TRU (and a WHOLE lot of other retailers) - they don't know how to mark down prices to move inventory when it gets too old. My TRU has Pokemon Snap for like 30+ dollars, Front Mission 3 for 39.99. TRU is a stupid retailer, you know?
 
Wow I'd say about 80% of these games will be crap if TRU decides to not mark down any of these games and just BOGO, with the exception of Arc the Lad.
 
Ya, this sale will suck. two mediocre older gen games for $30? not that good of a deal. If you get there early and spend some time, youwill get some good deals.
 
Last time I was at our TRU they have moved all the PS1 and N64 games. Almost if they are trying to clean up our store. LOL... like that will ever happen
