But what about Mom & Dad who go in and get Little Jimmy 3 games. What if he doesn't want one? He'll take it back and they'll say "You'll need to give us $17 to exchange for another game."

Well then Little Jimmy is going to get fucked like a 10 year old in Bogeyker's bathtub.

I'd buy that doll.

Seriously, why does everyone care about this Little Jimmy kid?

"What if Little Jimmy doesn't get the game he wants?"

"What if Little Jimmy can't get his console online?"

"What if Little Jimmy doesn't get the right color of GBA?"

We have been catering to this fucker for years. I say it's about time that Little Jimmy learns to take it like a man.

Hey, I agree! But we were all Little Jimmy once.

If I had my way, the gaming industry would cater more to me. I would've given up the US release of every single Square RPG from the PSX era, for a US release of Vib-Ribbon and an unedited UmJammer Lammy. But, see, that would really piss people off.

Fuck 'em. Vib-Ribbon is more important than the feelings of Square fans.

[atomsk]

Is Toys r Us going to carry Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne? I want this as one of my 3 games.

for what it's worth, they sent us the empty clamshells at my TRU, but the game hasnt come in (and probably won't, but that happens at my store alot)

 

[NotMSRP]

Agreed. The current Square fanbase is worse than the old fanbase.

 

[Lambtron]

Fuck 'em. Vib-Ribbon is more important than the feelings of Square fans.

FnordChan

I was just covering my ass! Square should've brought iS over to the states, while we're at it. Goddammit.

 

[Limedust]

Can anybody conform that this is Gamecube week and that the deal is true?

 

[Wario64]

Read the first post, all consoles are in the deal next week

 

[PanopticBlue]

Damn, it was confirmed that GBA is not part of the deal?

 

[Mejilan]

10/24? Starts on a Sunday? All consoles? Rawk.

 

[RazzleDazzleRB]

I've already got $600 set aside for this sale. Can't wait.

If you are so back logged, why don't you wait until the games are $20 and play what you need to play? That is what I do.

 

[Ristamar]

I saw that a lot of games at TRU are green-tagged at 50% off. Is that deal supposed to last into this 3-for-2 sale?

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

awe man, too many games i want after this deal....

ahh well, guess il have to just use it for the games that are out now....probably will only spend 100 this time instead of 300 like last time.

 

[RevenantKioku]

I saw that a lot of games at TRU are green-tagged at 50% off. Is that deal supposed to last into this 3-for-2 sale?

The green tag goes until the stuff is all gone.
The question is whether or not it will be valid for the BTGO

 

[djtiesto]

Fuck 'em. Vib-Ribbon is more important than the feelings of Square fans.

Fuck that shit, Vib Ribbon is overrated as all hell

 

[Ferrio]

So does this mean amazon.com or whatever offers the deal?

 

[Wario64]

I think I read somewhere that the online site will be doing the deal, so yeah it should work with amazon.com

 

[fart]

only one week? i've got fucking midterms!

 

[Tsubaki]

I would've given up the US release of every single Square RPG from the PSX era, for a US release of Vib-Ribbon and an unedited UmJammer Lammy. But, see, that would really piss people off.

Unedited Umjammer? What was edited in the US one? *hugs Jp copy*

 

[bridegur]

I know that I'll be getting GTA:SA and Sly 2 for sure, but what should be my third game? I'm thinking Tak 2, does anyone know if it's good?

 

[demi]

Unedited Umjammer? What was edited in the US one? *hugs Jp copy*

the part where lammy's penis just flops out during her solo

 

[akihara]

GTA:SA
Ace Combat 5
Neo Contra

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

outrun 2
kingdom under fire
and something else (i dont know)

paper mario 2
tales of symphonia
and something else (i dont know)

thats what il be getting

I think I read somewhere that the online site will be doing the deal, so yeah it should work with amazon.com

If we do it ONline with Amazon or Toys R Us.....will we have to enter some coupon code or something? or will it just do it automatically?

I think im gonna have to do this online this year cause THe Toys R Us I goto now (the one in Time Square) Believe it or not....has a SHITTY game cube selection.

and they charge 54.99 for tales of symphonia when toysrus.com charges 49.99

peace

I have at least 15 games lined up for purchase in this deal, but I'm worried that they won't have most of them in stock. The Toys 'R' Us stores in SoCal have been so poorly stocked for the last year or two.

What they usually have there is some, but not all new releases, and then the rest is games that don't sell( Mary Kate and Ashley: Sweet 16, I'm looking at you). Toy's 'R' Us used to be a great place for videogames, but no more. Still, I'll be scouring the aisles of every TRU store within reasonable driving distance come Sunday!

Do those include the Azusa/Covina and Pomona stores?

In the JP version, Lammy dies and goes to hell, which she has to escape. In the US version, hell has been re-skinned to look like a random tropical island, even though there's still a lot of "hellish" imagery.

Among other things. The lyrics were changed there, and also in the chainsaw song.

 

[Kleegamefan]

Will you be able to use this deal online with preorders??

As in MGS3 and GT4???

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

can someone answer my question

 

[Sp3eD]

peace

Yep, that is called a "sub-market" store. My store is exactly like that. On some things they charge 10% more because of a small market and they need to gain a little bit extra (which on games is rediculous and stupid). However, I can't believe Times Square needing to be a sub-market store.....

Are some games there priced at like $21.99, $32.99, and $43.99 also?

 

[border]

However, I can't believe Times Square needing to be a sub-market store.....

Uhhh, the rent they pay is probably 10 times that of an average TRU store, so I can understand the markup.

 

[FortNinety]

Uhhh, the rent they pay is probably 10 times that of an average TRU store, so I can understand the markup.

Which, as far as I'm concerned, is easily made up from the profits from that huge ferris wheel in the middle of the store.

 

[Jumpman]

Do those include the Azusa/Covina and Pomona stores?

Yes, Azusa TRU has been particularly bad as of late. I do most of my game shopping elsewhere now, so I don't get over there as much as I used to, but in the handfull of times that i've visited in the last year, things have been getting progressively worse. I haven't been there since late August/early September, so I'm crossing my fingers that they have begun to stock up for the upcoming holiday season, and maybe have a decent selection of games from late 2003 to mid 2004.

I don't often head out to Pomona ( although it's not really that far), so I can't give you details on that store. Maybe I should check it out.

Monrovia is also bad, but not quite as bad as Azusa. Rosemead used to be good, but they closed. It's possible that Industry, Alhambra, or Montebello could be better, as I rarely visit those locations.

I think I'll do some calling around on Saturday to form a good plan of attack for Sunday. I hate driving to a store or two, only to find that they have nothing that I want.

 

[CueTheMusic]

I would like to know this as well....

 

[raYne]

Headed to my local TRU yesterday to check out my possible options. While I was there they recieved 8 HUGE boxes of games so I'm sure they'll be well prepared for the sale next week.

However, I asked the lady behind the counter if she knew when the BTGO sale was going to start just to be sure and not surprisingly she had no idea. :lol So I asked for MK Deception Kollectors Edition for Xbox so I didn't feel like I wasted the trip there. She then asks me if that's the $50 one or the $60... (wtf?) So I told her I wasn't sure, but it would probably be the shiny one with "Kollectors Edition" written on it.

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

Uhhh, the rent they pay is probably 10 times that of an average TRU store, so I can understand the markup.

My manager told us that the only reason they built that store was to put FAO Schwarz out of business.

Isn't that what Wal Mart is doing to TRU??

 

[Lee-T]

I forget the amount but the New York store actually operates on a loss. Even with the higher prices they don't turn a profit. They basically use it for advertising and having a flagship store.

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

either way....can someone answer my question about doing the 3 for 2 deal online?

 

[atomsk]

for those of you wondering if you'll be able to find 'lesser known' titles... let me give you an example of this morning... we got in our CFC boxes, which is always restock, and often they send you stuff that came out the week before that just never came in.

so we got 1(!) copy of each of these... SMT:N, KOF MI, and SVCX

no sign of alien hominid yet.

edit: and KOF had the bonus disc, and SMT had the soundtrack, for those wondering

 

[Son of Godzilla]

How long has TRU been doing this sale? I remember going a bit nuts on a b2go sale back in late SNES days.

 

[Dujour]

Do they have to be the same price and both $50?

 

[siamesedreamer]

Can you mix and match like 1 Xb + 1 GC = whatever free?

 

[atomsk]

nope nope and yep

 

[Dave Long]

Someone has probably seen the real ad by now. Anyone with a scan yet?
