If it were waiting until later today I might be pursuaded...but since it is waiting until tomorrow (and thus after the deal) it is not even a question. I get it today at the same price I would tomorrow.

The deal is for the week. Not just today. Read the ad. Good 11/11 to 11/17, it just comes in on Tuesday by 5pm.

just got back from my local toyrus...

no dhl truck as of 2:30pm eastern

Ahhhhhh!

I work at Toys R Us, as many know. I have zero loyalty to the company; what I'm about to say isn't motivated by love of my corporate mother. I'm just a low level guy earning money while in college.

But seriously, there is exactly one type of customer I hate, and it's the ones who think that its our fault when games don't arrive on time or we don't have enough of them or something. The girl was absolutely correct to assume the game would be there when it is supposed to arrive. She is absolutely correct that the game is likely to sell out. The only problem here was DHL, and Toys R Us has no control over that. It isn't their fault: you're just blaming them because they happen to be the people standing in front of you when you found out.

I would have done precisely the same thing as that girl/manager, by the way. There's absolutely no way to know that a shipment is going to be delayed by DHL. Should we have told you to come at 2, when the new shipment arrives? I can tell you this: if that had been my store, you wouldn't have gotten a copy, as we were already sold out at 1 PM. That would have made you even more pissed, I can assure you of that. They can't win.

And most people don't get upset, they just say "no problem" and move on, and come back later. 

Is that just for Babies-R-Us? I know sometimes the coupons are interchangeable, but something tells me they wouldn't accept that for Galaxy. I just might try it though...

EDIT:  Bod, can you answer this question about the coupon? 

Okay, this really hit a nerve for me, so for those mocking the girl Chunk talked to, answer me this: what should the girl have said?

Because if the game had arrived on time like it was supposed to, she would have been correct that the game would have been gone in a hurry. 

Should she have said: "Come when we open. Unless something bad happens, then don't." 

I know exactly how you feel. I called Walmart yesterday and asked when they'd be getting their Galaxy shipments. She said to show up at 11 today, and they'd have them. So I get there at 11:30, and the cashier said that they won't be getting the shipments until later tonight, and they'll have it on the shelves tomorrow.

I work at a Zellers, which is the Canadian target if you've never heard of it. I also work in the electronics section. Whenever we have a sale for a big item (360, Wii, Galaxy, Halo 3) we're always vague on when we'll get them in, and we're vague on purpose. It's stupid to tell someone when to come in when you don't know when you get them.

I always say, "We should have it in at some point on [insert day here] but I don't know 100%. Call before coming, and if we have it we'll put it aside for you."

The game is said to be at TRU by 5pm. It is not 5pm and while SMG may sellout at TRU, it is not the type of game that sells out everywhere.

 I'd have to see it to confirm, but I'm 95 percent sure you can use it.
