And It baffles me because ALL OF THIER OTHER new releases they seem to have PLENTY of...GTA SA, whatever...name the game they got a shitload in stock..but no....Doa U is sold out. Really?! The first day you get it? as if EVERYONE has been trying to buy DOA u at this particular toys r us that is usually overstocked with MOST GAMES??!

The Toysrus I went to sold out of Dead or Alive Ultimate and had no Ace Combat 5... They did have 4 copies of Taiko Drum Master though.... Best Buy refused to price match the Toysrus deal..
Guess this deal is basically a bust for me.

Just came back with DOA:U, OutRun 2, & Neo Contra (w/ gift receipt - since this one is most likely will be returned for some other game coming out in Nov.)
My copy of OR2 was the last one in the store. Lucky!!
Local TRU had several copies of DOA:U left, while had sold out of MK: Deception... People sure do know how to pick a good fighting game.

God damn it, why doesn't TRU have Otogi 2? It makes me mad and sad and mad. SAD FACE
I grabbed a pile of stuff, but the problem is that there simply isn't anything I really -care- about left for me to buy. I've already purchased everything I really want, so my only impetus for this sale is grabbing games so that I can exchange them in November. If that doesn't work for any reason, I'll just return the entire lot.
The only thing bugging me is that if I purchased 3 $50 titles I don't want, I'm not sure I'll be able the exchange all -3- of them for different titles. TRU might get picky about the one ringing up at 0 cents.

I was also able to do a straight exchange of a free $40 game for Druaga using a normal receipt without any hassle. It just took them awhile to process it cuz they weren't exactly sure what to do. I can imagine some stores will be a bitch about this, though.
If you have a gift receipt it's much easier - they'll just give you full credit for the game on a gift card. Not exactly wise on TRU's part. When I returned 2 games I didn't want earlier this week I was flabbergasted when they not only gave me credit instead of doing an exchange, but then TOLD ME TO PICK OUT A FREE GAME when I went to use the credit! So I bought 2, got 2 free. ?!?! I thought they were going to be more strict this year! I felt kinda guilty so I picked X-Men Legends and gave it to my nephew as a gift.

I went back today right before closing and picked up another trio. I'm trading 2 of them for Metroid Prime 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3 when they come out. The third game, Zelda: Four Swords is a christmas gift for my nephew.
That brings the total number of games I purchased in this sale to a whopping 18! A lot of money spent, but even more was saved. In the event of nuclear war, I now officially have enough games to last me for the rest of my life. My bomb shelter > your bomb shelter.

And on my third and final run:
Taiko Drum Master
Metal Slug 3
Pokemon Colosseum
I was kinda hoping for SNK vs. Capcom for Xbox, but neither of the TRUs I went to stocked it. At least I can get those stupid extra pokemon for the GBA games - if I bother to play through Colosseum, that is.
