Toys R US starts their b2G1 free video game sale tomorrow!

[m 'n c]

YES!!!! Thanks for the heads up I have been waiting for this and the board game sale.

[m 'n c]

Can everyone post what they are buying because I need some ideas for Christmas presents :)

[askomsky]

Thanks for moving it I thought about it after I posted that people would be interested even if they're not looking for Wii.

Your the one I thought of when I saw the ad.

Right now I'm getting at least 2 little pet shop Nin DS games for the girls, at least another one for DS.

For the Wii I know I'm getting the NHL09 hockey or maybe for PS2? Not sure which one DS and DH would like better.
Otherwise I'm off to look online to see what else is out there.

I'm having mike check IGN tonight to read reviews and I'll post what he says. He for sure just said he wants Force: Unleashed. Some Star Wars game where you get to be Darth Vader. I think I'm skipping Madden 09 after how disappointed everyone was with the 08 version.

I was thinking We Ski since it uses the Wii Fit board. Don't know for sure though.

Edit: it's www.ign.com and you can read video game reviews on items. Apparently these are people who play video games for a living. The highest ranking Wii game right now is World of Goo at a 9.5. Simple game but somehow fun?? Looks interesting.

OOOHHH!!! Thanks for the heads up April! I got the kids a Wii for Christmas (through SR of course!!;)) and need to get some games... Always love a sale! :thanks:

[LuvMyBoys]

So it's B2G1 on the new games and the older games?

I am going to be looking for Call of Duty 4, Iron Man, and Madden '09 all for Xbox 360. I'm guessing it will be the cheapest game is free?

I wonder what shipping will be like?

April
Thanks for the heads up on this one. I am thinking on getting some games for the wii.

Cate......thanks for the site. It looks interesting.

[piglet-for-me]

Thanks. Looks like I have some shopping to do. :D

[m 'n c]

Carrie - last year it was everything because I got 2 Madden 08s (big mistake) and 1 NCAA Football 08. Cheapest one is free. I can't remember what shipping was like but I don't think it was bad. I think there is a SR coupon for free shipping if you do bill me later. I'll have to reread those coupons and terms.

So far I think I'm getting Smarty Pants for someone (it is interactive trivia) and Mike's Star Wars one. Maybe World of Goo since it is so high ranking which is unheard of over there.

For my brother I don't know. Probably Madden 09 because he likes to stay current with those. Maybe We Ski for my mom but I don't know what else.

Sunday newspaper that comes on Saturday with all the sale ads.
I recieved a TRU sale ad, front page.


Als is this a one day sale or a few days? All week long I believe Sun thru next Sat.

[askomsky]

I'm not really sure as they have so many but it's a sale not to pass up. The ones I mentioned in my earlier post for sure. I guess I'll have to go in the store or other stores and browse to see what's interesting. I'm also searching the site to see what they have.

Oh and PS the ad also said check www.toysrus.com for more titles so I'm sure it'll be online starting tomorrow.

[m 'n c]

I think board games might be later in the Christmas shopping season - like November perhaps.

Thanks again April. I'm going to check around midnight to see if they start it early. :)

[snowyday]

Whatcha getting?

[Sunni]

Whatcha getting?

I am not sure....I didn't have any time to check it out today. I wanted Zelda.....but my SIL got two for his birthday so he is going to trade one with me. I would like some for the fit.
What are you thinking?

I am still putting out feelers. All I could find for the Fit besides the fit games is We Ski which has mixed reviews. I might still give it a try since it gets you up and moving. Otherwise the other "me" game would be smarty pants which looks fun for when you have people over hanging out.

Oh you can preorder Jillian Micheal's game that will be coming out for the fit.

[m 'n c]

Sale is up online!

[Alice28]

ugh, they are sold out of one of my 'must' haves- Lego Batman. :computer:

[eaglesdare]

i am on my way now.

[eaglesdare]

all the ones i want are pre order.

i wished there was a way to just view all, i don't like having to view top sellers, then mom's fav, then new for each game system.

i only have 2 games picked out so far.

[eaglesdare]

does anyone know if the preorder is part of the b2g1?

i see a few preorders i would like.

[eaglesdare]

i just found the info about pre orders, they are not included in the b2g1.

so far i got the star wars unleashed for ps2, same game for ds, those i paid for and the free one i got was the indy game for ps2.

going back now to see about some of the cheaper games.

but so far that saved me $34.99.

[iluvamystery89]

do the games have to be marked b2g1? i picked 3 (2 were marked b2g1, other wasn't) and it's not showing up as free....

They do. I noticed those exclusions as well.

I also tried to order a total of 6, thinking I was going to have 4 I paid for and getting 2 free. They wouldn't do the order that way, it only discounted one of the games. I ended up having to place two separate orders and then my crazy credit card wouldn't allow the second one to go through - which is a good thing I suppose but not in the middle of the night. I woke up about 1:15 and wondered if the sale was active, got up to check and placed my orders then.

The good news is that most of my Christmas shopping is done! :clap:

[m 'n c]

Ugh so how do we know what is included/excluded? I haven't seen anything yet that says B2G1 near it.

[iluvamystery89]

i've seen NO gameboy advance games marked b2g1.

[m 'n c]

Ok I figured it out. It will shop up once you put them in your cart.

For my first order I got: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Smarty Pants, and We Ski.

2nd Order: waiting on my brother to tell me some games for him and my mom.

[iluvamystery89]

ok, i ordered 3 DS games for DD...now i HAVE to get her the DS for Christmas, lol. i got american girl kit mystery challenge, Petz Dogz Fashion and Nancy Drew: Mystery of the Clue Bender Society.

[Candi]

I am having problems with the TRU website being so slow. Anyone else experiencing this?

[deana]

Yes!!! It took me over an hour to browse yesterday and then I ended up not getting anything !!:computer:

[mjjmbnmm]

Yes it took me 2 hours to order 3 games. :computer:

[askomsky]

Well I went into the store today bc 1. the website was slow 2. I had a $10 of $75 and 3. The littlest Pet Shop DS game isn't in the promo on the website but in their circular ad.

They had 2 Wii Fit left, I bought one of them, Mario Kart and NHL N2K 09. They didn't have the Littest Pet shop either but they said that their waiting on a shipment bc they didn't receive any of the new releases for today yet.
She also said that it's weird that it's not part of the promo on the website bc ALL games in the store are on the promo. So I spent $134 and got the three games. $10 off, and one of the 2 $50 games free!

I'm going to check back in the store on Friday to see if the other games came in, if not I'll get them on the website since I have a $5 off $25 for DD4's bday I can use.
