Is your order at least $150 or more?

If not then it will only give you the $10 discount and you might as well use the $10 off $75 code

It's more than $150 if you include the prices before getting one free, which is what someone said works.

I wasn't putting it down, I just know nothing about it and saw it mentioned probably the most out of any wii game in this thread so I was curious.

Ya, says something about limited inventory and updating to correct stock.

Edit: Not definite yet but I'm thinking mario kart wii, metroid prime trilogy, and deadspace extraction. Anyone think of something better I should switch out for ?

It's pretty likely I'll have a PS3 in a few months, but I can only see two cheap games that I know I'd want to play: R&C Future and MGS4. If I can't trade in two games for NSMB Wii and Rabbids Go Home, I'll definitely nab those two.

I went down to Toys R Us just to find out that my local store only allows customers to preorder a handful of games. They only had reserve cards for 2 Wii games.

Bastards. I tried getting two cheap games (Burnout Paradise and Warhawk) that I always wanted and getting MAG for free but they give the lowest priced game (Burnout) as the free game.

I tried to see if I could sneak one by them but they seem to have there shit together. So far I'm looking at getting Need For Speed Shift and Uncharted 2 with MAG as the free game.

It's computer automated, how would you "sneak one by"? SMH.
Click to expand...
The PS3 and Wii preorders back in '06 were also computer automated and you see what happened with that. I was just trying to see if they covered all of their bases.

I admit it, I am a cheap ass gamer. Retailers use price discrimination through the pricing strategy called price skimming when it comes to video games. I don't have alot of time to game so waiting for a lower price is advantageous to me. I'll probably purchase these games from TRU and never play them.

The coupon code 931085 was pulled off of my order, and now I'm being charged $10.96 for shipping instead of $.96

Don't know if that'll happen for anyone else who orders off of toysrus.com

*edit* aah I figured it out. My order total was 74.98 instead of 75.00 or more :p That 2 cents cost me $10!

Do all Toys R Us stores accept games for trade-in now? Or is it just online? Love to dump some old games and use it towards this deal.
Click to expand...

All nationwide I'm fair certain, you should see a sign at your local one right by the entrance. That's how I stocked for this sale.

They don't take FIFA 10 preorders from what it looks like :( I guess I'll take my chances and go Wednesday to see if they get Uncharted 2 and there's anything left worth buying

I don't believe so.... I tried the $150 coupon and it did worked as you described earlier. But I'm not 100% positive

Ya, I couldn't find anything and then I had too many to choose from. I wound up getting the nintendo made games for now since they pretty much never drop in price.

Checked a few pages back but couldn't find an answer, although I'm sure it's probably been mentioned -- does Best Buy or Target or any other large chain match this deal, buy 2 get 1 free? Sorry if it's been asked a million times.

That was me all the other years when I had more disposable income. I would create like 3 piles on the floor and then add and remove games for like 30mins-1hr. :lol

So I'm reading preorders sometimes get cancelled for the b2g1 free due to them being on backorder. Anyone do this before?

For anyone trying to get Uncharted or Brutal Legend - make sure you go early, and call ahead. I tried to get Dead Space on release day during this sale last year and my store got in less than 10 copies. They were well gone before I got there at noon.

Don't expect to walk in after work and grab U2 or BL. Toys R Us doesn't have huge stock reserves.
