Had to go to a couple, but finally was able to find Uncharted 2 and Brutal Legend (last one) in stock, and got Little Big Planet GOTY as the third.

Dang! All the good stuff really did get delayed to next year or came out earlier this year. I'm not down with a $60 Ratchet any more. R2 really soured me on Insomniac. Hated the first Assassin's Creed. GoW Collection is only $40 so you don't get as good of a deal with two $60 games. MW single player frustrated the shit out of me and completely soured me on the game. L4D2 is irrelevant since I don't have gold or a PC gaming rig. I want to try FO3 because I just know that there's eventually going to be a western RPG that hooks me but I haven't found one yet. The rest looks meh.
I'm hating on TRU. I'm hating on everything today.
I wanted:
Demon's Souls which TRU doesn't carry
Uncharted 2 which is probably out of stock at TRU
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 which TRU doesn't carry
Infamous which should be price dropping soon
I'm taking a trip to Best Buy and Walmart tomorrow to see if they'll price match TRU so I can get my top 3 choices but it still blows because no brick and mortar store around here has the deluxe edition of Demon's Souls.

The one I went to is the one my grandma used to take us to when we were kids. It was brand new, too. I even remember the old location before it moved. Inside the new store was so shiny and bright. Now it's another Wal-Mart. Makes sense I guess, considering it's located next to one.

I got Brutal Legend, The Beatles: Rock Band and Wii Sports Resort (with two motion pluses). I would have rather gotten Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Demon's Souls, but they didn't have either. =(
Put Wii Sports Resort on Goozex, got $50 in points that enabled me to get Punch-Out!! and kept the extra motion plus, so it worked out for me pretty well. =)

Ok GAF I am thinking of getting
Halo:ODST (Do not own ANY Halo DLC maps)
Red Faction
Platinum Triple Pack (Dead Rising, Lost Planet, DMC4)
For 96 dollars. Should I consider swapping out anything?

Got Brutal Legend (with two copies of Uncharted 2) but haven't opened it. Is it possible for me to return it for a game that comes out later?
Anyone ask Toys R Us about it?

TRU has really gone downhill, here too.
Desolate is a great word to describe it - the inside is lifeless now. I used to love to go to TRU, if only for the colors and whatnot as a child. A toy super store - who wouldn't? I continued to go as I aged and saw the place become more and more run down and become less and less relevant.
Now our local TRU is closed down and a poor local boy has died in an electrical problem while renovating the building. Just a cursed building...

Managed to snag the second to last copy of the Wii Sports Resort bundle with two motion pluses, Dead Space Extraction, and Punch Out!.
Not a bad haul, but I'm greedy and I wish I had more money lol

My little brother's birthday was this month. The plan was to get Uncharted 2 for myself and get him Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma and Batman since he just got his PS3 also this month.
TRU had nothing all week, Best Buy wouldn't honor the deal unless I got a $60 and two $40 games which consisted of some UFC title and MLB '08 or some shit. The Wal-Mart guy rejected my TRU ad and saying TRU is insane and he thinks they are going out of business.
A week of this and I finally said "fuck it" and bought him Batman and Uncharted 2 for myself from Wal-Mart. What a waste of a week for me.

Went there on Tuesday, picked up Brutal Legend as my free game and Wolfenstein and Resident Evil 5 as placeholders (since they had sold out of Uncharted 2). Inquired about Demon's Souls despite knowing that they didn't care it only to find out that the employee was just as let down as I was that they weren't carrying it. He went on to sing the game's praises for a little bit, then said that they were getting more copies of U2:AT on Friday. He said that he would hold a copy for me if I called in advance that day.
Went there on Friday after calling, got my game, and found out I could trade in my other placeholder for Borderlands when it came in this Tuesday.
Pretty damn awesome, if I may say.

I just got another e-mail from TRU saying there is a delay fulfilling my Uncharted 2 order and if it's not fulfilled by Nov. 20th it'll be canceled. I'm not sure how that would work though since I already received Brutal Legend and LBP (my free game) and used $35 in gift cards.

I got that email too, but I haven't received Brutal Legend or my free game either (I preordered Bayonetta while you were still able to on the site). Since there's such a delay I'd rather swap out Uncharted 2 and Brutal Legend for some games they do have in stock, but I don't want to draw attention to the fact that I was able to get Bayonetta in on the deal.

Planning it within a few hours. Dude at the desk swore my games and receipt were as good as gold when it came to exchanges. Umm, I hope so, 'cause I don't want ODST or Marvel errrr I mean my kids don't want these games.

I just did this by trading in Brutal Legend. I could only trade it for someone of equal value. Which was fine to get Borderlands. I worked on Borderlands so I'm hoping I'm not bored by it we'll see.

ODST for Borderlands. Whew, thought for a minute I'd be stuck with that pig.
And Borderlands is very fun. Like Fallout 3 with humor that works. And less brown.

I'm in the same boat, same email, used $45 GC and received and opened Shift already... I'll stay patient until the first week of november, then I'll start making phone threats.

So, TRU sent me an email today that Operation Flashpoint (along with Brutal Legend that they mentioned last week) is still out of stock with no ship date.
I've already received, opened and played Batman AA, do you really think there's a possibility that they will get no copies by the middle of November and I'll be stuck with the one full price game?

That's the thing, I really didn't want any other October releases (at the time). If I wait until next week, I'm definitely going to bitch and see if I can swap the games out for Tekken/Forza. :lol

I received that e-mail too for my Uncharted 2 and Brutal Legend order and I just got an e-mail a few minutes ago saying that Uncharted 2 shipped to me. I'm sure these games are big enough that orders will be filled before being canceled by their policy. So I wouldn't worry if your games didn't ship yet.Shurs said:

Yeah, I also just got an e-mail saying Uncharted 2 has shipped. Thank goodness for that finally.
My TRU has always been good about letting me swap out games as long as I have gift receipts. I've done it in every B2G1F sale going back to when they first did them (the year GTA III came out). Today I went to swap my placeholder for Borderlands. Denied, they were sold out of the 360 version. I've got my store credit on a card now though, so I'll just go pick it up whenever it's back in stock. Hopefully next week, and I'll go use my OTHER card with store credit towards Tekken 6. Yeehaw.

Any word on an extension? I thought I might have read something about that.
