[Jarlaxle]

Been waiting for this.

 

[Ellis Kim]

Persona 2 as well? :x

Dark Souls, Deus Ex, and El Shaddai sounds good :x

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

NO. This will be the end of me.

 

[GitarooMan]

Batman (and two others) here I come!

 

[JdFoX187]

Hopefully Amazon will do their annual match. Wouldn't mind picking up Resistance and a couple other games.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Batman Arkham City
Forza 4
RAGE

There it is

 

[Josh7289]

Oh shit! I DON'T EVEN WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY BUT MY MIND IS ALREADY COMING UP WITH LISTS

 

[Quixzlizx]

PSN/XBL cards count as accessories at TRU, correct?

 

[Gravijah]

meh, wish this happened at another time. nothing i want to buy yet other than dark souls.

 

[tim.mbp]

Kirby Mass Attack
Aliens Infestation
Professor Layton and the Last Specter

 

[Frester]

I usually go in on this with 2 friends, so everybody gets a game for $40. So tempted to get Dark Souls even though I have Demon's and haven't played it yet...

 

[MikeE21286]

PSN/XBL cards count as accessories at TRU, correct?

nope

 

[dragonflys545]

Batman, Resistance, Gears for me!

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Batman, Dark Souls, RDR. My body is ready.

 

[EvilMario]

TRU better not leave Canada out this year.

 

[Gravijah]

TRU better not leave Canada out this year.

leave who out?

 

[bounchfx]

fuck, I do not need to spend this money...

BUT I WANTS TO

 

[razgriz417]

wait so its buy 3 @ $120 so that's $40 a game, not bad may have to stop by Toysrus. I've seen quite a few games come up on Newegg for $45 recently. I think Deus Ex is $45 until tomorrow.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Too bad I'm broke.

 

[diffusionx]

This is always a great sale but it lands right before my birthday. There are 3 recent games I want (DX, Gears 3, SOTC/ICO) but I'm hoping somebody gifts it to me. Oh well.

Tell potential gifters about the deal. This is also happening right before my birthday, and I'm definitely letting my wife know about this.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I'd be interested in getting Rocksmith, ICO/SotC Collection, and I'm not sure what else. Not really worth it for me this year. D:

 

[big_z]

TRU better not leave Canada out this year.

why would this year be anything different. all the best deals dont come to canada.

 

[EvilMario]

Not true, TRU had this deal in Canada for years, but if I remember correctly, it was very half-assed last year.

 

[AlphaTwo00]

Nope. Nothing like this, and never "unlimited selection".

 

[kokujin]

Can I get a game i don't want as a place holder and exchange it for a game later that's the same price?

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Can I get a a game i don't want as a place holder and exchange it for a game later that's the same price?

I believe this only works in-store on a YMMV basis.

 

[EXGN]

Damn, wish this was taking place in one month. I might bite anyways, but Uncharted 3 + Batman + ESV woulda been awesome

 

[MikeE21286]

Can I get a game i don't want as a place holder and exchange it for a game later that's the same price?

The way the games are rung out at the POS seems to have gotten rid of this option this year.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Definitely tempted, but no Uncharted 3 or KOF13 makes me pass.

 

[we.are.the.armada]

I recommend Dark Souls guys - it's the best Metroidvania style game we've had in a while and damn does it have mileage. Easily a 100 hour campaign and then some after new game + and completionist endeavors.

I haven't torn through a game like this since SoTN.

 

[0 HP]

Can I get a a game i don't want as a place holder and exchange it for a game later that's the same price?

i doubt it...the receipt is going to say that one of the games is $0.00

Definitely tempted, but no Uncharted 3 or KOF13 makes me pass.

every game in the electronics section works, not just the ones in the OP. they'll definitely have uncharted and probably KOF

 

[kokujin]

I believe this only works in-store on a YMMV basis.

I'm hoping to get a November release for free. I'll look into it.

 

[Cornbread78]

Good deal as always, but I cannot brake my limited gaming budget this fall, just waaaay too many games and not even close to enough time to even touch them.

Would definately pick up Dead Island, Dark Souls and Batman. ( I already have Resistance3 and I'm loving it, even though R3 GAF appears to have already moved onto Dark Souls......

 

[AEREC]

Will Amazon really match the deal...I should have enough credit there to get Batman and Forza next week.

Is it something you have to call and check or will they advertise it.

 

[Dosia]

Can MS points be gifted nowadays? Say I get 3 1600 point cards. Can I redeem all 4800 points and send 2400 to a friend?

 

[CronosBlade]

Not possible anymore. Quoting this here for all to see, from a TRU employee at CAG:

If all your games are $60, your receipt will look something like this. The refund price may be a few dollars more. I'm not sure about the exact percentage of the free game will be deducted, I know it's between 75% - 100%, but you will get an idea.

Game 1 $59.99
(refund price $29.99)

Game 2 $59.99
(refund price $29.99)

Game 3 $0.00


If you try to return game 1 or 2 after the sale is over, you will only get credit for the refund price, not the whole value of the game.

If you want your money back after the sale, you will need to return ALL 3 games to get back exactly what you paid.

Man, I wish they were doing this NEXT month.

 

[MikeE21286]

Uncharted 3 and KOF XIII will definitely not be able to be purchased since they come out in November

 

[CronosBlade]

Point cards are not considered accessories, they're considered gift cards or something odd. Not available in the sale.

 

[tim.mbp]

Most likely Amazon will have a selection of games B2G1 as well.

 

[djtiesto]

Persona 2 as well? :x

Dark Souls, Deus Ex, and El Shaddai sounds good :x

Ooh, yeah that sounds really good...

 

[sixteen-bit]

Man, I wish they were doing this NEXT month.

Exactly how I feel.

 

[GQman2121]

I only plan on buying Batman and Uncharted and that's going to be a little more than $90 out of pocket. I don't think spending $30 more for one game is worth it for me personally.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Uncharted and KOF come out next month dude.

Look at the dates the sale it good for.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

To bad it's not in November so I can get Uncharted 3, MW3 and Skyrim. Maybe Best Buy will have another one then.

 

[Gravijah]

Man, I wish they were doing this NEXT month.

i wish they were doing it in december. :/

 

[Flame Lord]

Only really want Arkham City and Dark Souls. Guess I'll get whatever has the highest trade in at Amazon.
