Wii Software Murdered At Toys R Us (Massacre Pix Included)
- Thread starter MiketheBSG
- Start date
If this was the last day of the Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal then it isn't that impressive. Toys R Us lets you exchange the two you paid for after they get new stock in. I bought 3 copies of Trauma Center: New Blood since they were the last 3 $50 games in the store. Seriously. People bought the crappy games and will be returning them shortly.

maybe someone was buying up the stock on some coupon to resell it? I cant imagine another reason why so many games would sell out at once.

If you buy 3 games it comes out to about $33.33 a game, which is about how much Gamefly charges. Nothing worth rioting over.

it's 4th of July in my asshole
What do people say when they see you people taking pictures of shelves and them while they are buying games, i would be a bit weirded out.

Really? I don't find it so unbelievable that this close to Xmas with a buy two get one free deal going on with the hottest Xmas system's software that they would be razed to the ground.Jewbacca said:
As someone already said, I have no earthly idea why they would do that kind of deal so close to Xmas.

To get people to buy that second (third) game. A lot of people are buying the console as well, which means they are getting Wii sports. For most parents, it makes sense to buy the Wii (with Wii sports) and one extra game. They don't really have a reason to spring for another without the B2G1 free deal.
This is exactly what my TRU looked like. On sunday when the deal started they had a shipment of 100 Wii's and almost everyone did the B2G1 deal some even bought 6 games. They were 100% fully stocked saturday night and by wednesday it looked exactly the same as the pictures. Its not hard to believe people were doing there christmas shopping. There were tons of people shopping for christmas.

Yeah, I am sure there are some organizations that pull numbers out of their ass by looking at GAF threads but it is not NPDLobster said:

Legend of Dragon or something like that.
I have seen it and just wanted to try it because it looks so bad.
Game looks good:lol
OK. I don't own a Wii but I am contemplating buying one in the near future. I've heard of some of the titles looking bad but... JESUS CHRIST THAT IS SHIT!!
I mean we have SMG which looks amazing and then there is this bullshit. No wonder no one buys it>It's complete bullshit. Not only does it look like bullshit, it smells and tastes like bullshit.

Thank you for saying that Godfather: Blackhand is one of the third party titles that isn't shovelware. It's so awesome.

If you liked it, then you should play scarface. Its prettier and just as fun plus 100% more violent.

Well, you know what they say...
Casuals dig crappy non-games and shovelware.
...and Moms buy games for their kids that don't look violent, (which would apply to most of the above) regardless of quality.

Yours had a lot of Wii games compared to mine. I went that same week to get Uncharted, the wii section was empty, there were like 5 games left and it was weird crap. Next to it the 360 and PS3 section were full, it was hilarious to see. The Wii software sales at TRU that week must be INSANE.

I already own it. Sure it is prettier, sure it is more violent but I still didn't have as much fun only because the malee controls were so fucking awesome in Godfather. Still the most fun I have had with the Wiimote. Scarface is still really good though. Just not as awesome as the Godfather.

maxmars said:I concur, although I must say I still pop in Scarface from time to time, just to shoot things around or redo that fantastic drive-in mission or the one where you were ambushed. I loved those.
Yeah, I still haven't finished Scarface yet. I am like 2 missions from completing it but I keep on getting distracted by doing coke runs so I can buy all the items. Plus bazillions of other games came out before I finished it. Will probably get through it after I finish Zack and Wiki. I am also missing some things from the Godfather like I need to blow up all the safes so I can get the final ranking but damn, that seems like a dick move to do to your buisnesses that you are already extorting. I will more than likely just start over so I can do that from the start.
