Hmm, the Toys R Us ad indeed has the $25 gift card for Super Mario Galaxy, but also calls attention to a few things...

1) Limit 1 per customer, no rain checks (expected)
2) See back of gift card for terms and conditions... It may be possible that the gift card will have exclusions, such as video game hardware and software.

I am going to head out there today myself to see what the real deal is. However I worked at a TRU for almost 4 years and if I remember their policy well, anything that offers a discount usually excluded video game hardware and diapers. Video games are rarely excluded from various offers. This is a gift card though . . . those usually are as good as cash. . . It might just have an expiration date and probably doesn't let you use it on Mario Galaxy.

Update anyone who preorders in general at Toys R Us for Super Mario Galaxy will get the 25 gift card. The gift card probably from what I hear is not good on diapers, formula, and video game hardware but software is good.

I encourage anyone who has a good friend that wants a Wii Game to do this.

Friend 1: Buys SMG and gets gift card
You: Buy SMG and get gift card

Toys R Us: Buy 2 get 1 free deal

Friend buys one game and uses card = 1 game 25 dollars
You buy one game and use your card = 1 game 25 dollars
Then you both get a game for free you can play together = 1 game for free

So in Reality if you and your friend(s) share games, you guys are getting 3 games for 50 bucks. . . . not too shabby

My wife just got home from shopping about 15 minutes ago. She picked up SMG for me and I am looking at the card as we speak. I don't see any restrictions on video game hardware or diapers. The card doesn't expire either, but after 24 months of non-use they are able to start deducting a maintenance fee of $2 a month in all but a few select states.

Oh quick note guys the Wii Toys R US sale has changed slightly its still buy 2 get 1 free on Wii games but its only from the 18th to the 21st instead of the whole week.

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #80 on:** November 17, 2007, 04:45:48 AM »

By looking at the date of toy r us website it wont make it in time for the toys r us sale but if you looking for trauma center for 37.99 (plus 5 dollars shipping) Get it here at LionGames.com
I dealt with them with mario galaxy(getting it mondayish) and with Guitar Hero 3(got it shipped to my house 1 day after release) and they are legit plus the guy who runs it Tony provides an awesome customer service.

Crud... Trauma Center was the #1 choice for this buy 3 deal.... and that hits Thanksgiving day according to them.

Makes sense though... all these stores will have separate ads for Black Friday.

Hmm... maybe I should move over all my purchasing decisions to Lion Games?

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #83 on:** November 17, 2007, 12:26:02 PM »

Well Kairon a good thing about Liongames.com is that they sometimes offer pre-order specials (heavily discounted prices) the only drawback is that you have to pay up front. And I wish they offered DS and PSP games as well, the only do Wii 360 and PS3.

Darkheart · « **Reply #84 on:** November 17, 2007, 06:39:35 PM »

Remember guys tomorrow starts the TRU Buy 2 get one FrWii deal for Wii games. If you have th ad for this I believe there is a coupon in it where if you spend over 75 dollars you get ANOTHER giftcard for 10 dollars. Toys R Us is seriously pumping out mad deals left and right.

Let me recap what I have got from them lately.

Mario Galaxy
-Free Nintendo Preorder Coin
-Free Nintendo Wii Glove
-Free 25 dollar Gift Card

Going to buy
Trauma Center New Blood 49.99
Fire Emblem 49.99
RE:UC 00.00 FREE
-25.00 Gift Card
Toss in a pack of gum .99 cents
_____________
Total 76.00 Making my purchase over 75.00
Use coupon to get 10.00 gift card

In conclusion meaning I have gotten Mario Galaxy + Free Nintendo Wiimote Glove + 3 games for 25 bucks a piece + another 10 dollar gift card for a future game purchase down the line. TRU ROCKS~!

Amazon's deal of the day is PS3 Wireless Media Keyboard for 29.99 now your going to ask why are you posting a PS3 accessory on a Wii deals thread? Well because the wireless is done on a USB dongle, so this does support PS3, Wii , Xbox360, PC and Macs (confirmed by users on cheapassgamer.com) for text input without those evil vile wires and more traditional keyboard and mouse use on computers(note it lacks a windows button if you dont like that).

is that a mouse pad on the far right side?

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #87 on:** November 18, 2007, 09:46:58 AM »

Yes, similar to the ones you find on a laptop.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #88 on:** November 18, 2007, 10:15:48 AM »

For those not in the know, not only is the Toys R Us Buy 2 get 1 Free deal today, but if you look in your Sunday paper, there is a coupon for a $10 gift card if you spend $75 or more.

Also you can do the B2G1 Free deal online, and you can also purchase pre-orders during this deal.
People are ordering Geometry Wars and SSBB as I type this right now.

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #89 on:** November 18, 2007, 11:30:41 AM »

I already made a toys r us run and got RE:UC, Fire Emblem(it actually has a gamecube controller logo on the back of the box!), Battalion Wars 2. I'm going to make another run to get Zack and Wiki, Geometry Wars galaxy, and hopefully guilty gear XX access core. Also the lines were insane today at toys r us due to 100+ Wiis were in stock today.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #90 on:** November 18, 2007, 12:03:40 PM »

I picked up
RE:UC - $50
FE - $50
Z&W -$0
-------------------
-$25 from SMG Gift Card
= $75 +tax

+ $10 Giftcard (expires 12/31/2007) to use for SSBB Preorder that I have to place before the year is over.

TRU is making me spend monies on games I don't really have the time to play.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #91 on:** November 18, 2007, 12:13:56 PM »

I got Umbrella Chronicals, Medal of Honor and Zack and Wiki

Shecky · « **Reply #92 on:** November 18, 2007, 02:29:56 PM »

How is Brawl part of this? It was free when I put it in my cart... so tempting to make an order that includes Brawl, but I just know TRU will probably end up partially canceling my order and costing me money in the end...

Bah, I don't trust them.

Bah, not only that, they seem to be over charging sales tax (wtf?) It's bad enough that it's 7.75%, but how do they figure $8.21 on a $99.98 purchase?

They are charging you sales tax on the shipping as well. Most online retailers do it to increase revenue.

Darkheart · « **Reply #94 on:** November 19, 2007, 01:43:48 AM »

1. How are you guys preordering Brawl when I can not even find it on their own site. . .
2. Does this mean I can use the deal on games that haven't even come out yet?

I'd normally do this in the store but I really want Trauma Center which doesn't come out until tomorrow which is the end of the deal. . .This sounds good all on paper but I know they wont stock the shelves with the game until Wed. I rather just preorder the darn game online with the deal if they will count it.

Hey, for some reason Assassin's Creed 360 is on the list on their website. Anyone know if it's actually working? I need to pick up that game today and it would be sweet to get two wii games for the price of one.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #96 on:** November 19, 2007, 04:01:45 AM »

You can order it on the website, but don't be surprised if it isn't honored later on and you somehow end up missing out on the deal altogether, or not saving as much money as you were supposed to.

But no risk, no reward.

Shecky · « **Reply #97 on:** November 19, 2007, 05:13:39 AM »

Well I ordered several copies. We'll see what happens.

I also saw Assassin's Creed for the Xbox360 on there. I'm not sure what would happen with that one either - even though it's currently listed as "eligible".

Darkheart, I have the word of two employees that I'll be able to do and even exchange for Trauma Center later this week, so I bought a filler game and plan to exchange it (unopened obviously) later.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #98 on:** November 19, 2007, 11:18:01 AM »

$45 Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles at Frys.com

Shecky · « **Reply #99 on:** November 20, 2007, 02:04:15 PM »

Toys-R-Us has changed the text of their promo on this the last two days. It now explicitly excludes pre-orders... even though that text was not there earlier. I'm guessing they'll null orders made earlier that contained any pre-orders (new blood, brawl) even though they changed their agreement.

Unless someone ordered 6+ copies of brawl, I'd argue that they should honor it.

It's also sweet how 50%+ games listed as eligible are "Temp not available" to purchase online. Sweet.

We'll see what happens.

I blame resellers for all of this, and small time ebayers (word?)
