SHORT VERSION: The Fri/Sat B1G1 half off sale on $19.99 games seems to stack on games with other discounts.
I bought two $20 games, and got one of them free as the half off discount of $10 was taken off, as well as another $10 discount.

LONG VERSION:I went to TRU to take advantage of the sale life.exe posted here:

Basically, all games under $19.99 are "buy 1, get one 50% off".

However, if you get a game that already has a discount, it seems both sales are applied to it.
This was my purchase.

Crisis Core - $19.99
Soul Bubbles - $19.99

I expected to pay about $30.xx, but the total was $20.xx as Soul Bubbles had an extra $10 discount on top of the B1G1 half off.

My receipt reads as follows:

Crisis Core - $19.99
Soul Bubbles - $19.99
[Buy 1 Get 1 50% off -10.00]
[$10 Off Select Item -10.00]

Total $21.xx (after tax)

So I got Soul Bubbles for free.

So, I don't know what other games have a discount this week but seems like it will stack but I would make sure it is the second game scanned to be safe.

Here's a pic of my reciept, sorry so blurry. Phone cam.

poor soul bubbles... its like the prime target for every tru glitch.
 
Soul Bubbles is actually a gem of a game. Everyone should pick up one copy for themselves if this glitch/deal is still working tomorrow.

Yep, it's a very neat little DS game. Maybe not worth the full $20 but if you can get it for free or as part of a glitch or something it's quite fun and different.

So true. I've kept a copy though since it's a decent game.

Man, that seems awfully expensive considering what happened in November. Cheapest stocking stuffers ever!

i thought soul bubbles was one of the best ds games
 
FYE will take your orphaned copy of Soul Bubbles for $7 cash or $8.75 credit.

I sold my copy recently, but now my niece just bought a DS and wants it.
If anyone gets a spare one from this sale, PM me. I'll PP $10 for it. (new or used/complete)
 
Soul bubble and spectrobes 2 would come out free if they're the 2nd game you purchase of the two. The games normally 30 on sale for 20 won't work though. The buy 1 get 1 half off only applies to those 'regularly' priced at 19.99 and under.

So is there a list of games available that already has a discount like soul Bubbles?

Dragon Ball: Origins +
Paws & Claws: Pampered Pets 26.xx

OP should list what games would be eligible for the $10 discount stack. Would be useful, instead of researching by looking into a store that's 50 miles away. Thankx
 
Which TRU did you go to, dallow?

I was thinking about checking this out later today, and since I'm in the Dallas area, I might as well go to the same store.

Telling uas and taking a picture of his reciept is def good enough and I am greatful. He purchased these games by chance and received this deal. Just be thanks he showed us.
 
The discount is tied to soul bubbles. 2 copies = 10.XX. They scan at 9.99 separately. SB and another $10 game come out to $15. I think it matters what order they are scanned. The sale is over here, but I would try to scan the other game first and scan SB second. I think that will reproduce the OP's results.

Partially incorrect.


I bought a copy of SB and the $10 Spectrobes game and the total was $10.xx
 
Tried to grab Sonic and transformers Animated. Massive Fail for the discount even though both were 19.99 (Transformers was marked down $10 this weekend)

[quote name='Bezerker']I can confirm the OP's reportings. Two copies of soul bubbies came up as $9.99 + tax[/quote]Ha, nice!
