Oh... sorry to hear that. :-/

Why do these deals always happen when I have no games I want to buy? :(

I want R&C, but other than that...

^ I'm with you, the only game I want so far is Buzz TV. This promotion ends on Oct 18, but games I like start to roll out on Oct 21.....

Hey, we missed the $99 DS here... I just bought one last week at full price x_x

I think they always tend to do these sales around this time, which is also just before the holiday games come out. I guess the sale is mainly for us poor people who have a ton of old games lined up

Still, if you have a Wii, the Wii points cards are really a steal. At $12 per 2000 points - really, you're getting 67% more Wii points for your money. This means Lost Winds/Mega Man 9 at $6, World of Goo at $9, SNES games at $4.80, etc etc... Go buy em already!

Good luck with the Toys-R-Us scam. We went there yesterday to get the Wii Zapper accessory for 40% off. Went to the accessories section, picked one up, took it to the register, and tried to check out.

The sales guy scanned it and said, that will be $24.99. I replied that it should be 40% off. Another sales guy nearby explained that because the Zapper contains a small game called Link's Crossbow Training (which can't be purchased separately... it's really designed to give the Zapper more value), the Zapper wasn't an accessory... it's software.

Apparently, the WiiMote and nun-chuk are excluded, but the ad states that plainly. However, the Zapper was not mentioned as an exclusion in their ad, nor were memory cards. My guess is the Wii Fit has the same exclusion because it has "software" included on a DVD-rom.

I complained to the "shift manager" about it, she said that she agreed it wasn't honest, but that they had to do what corporate told them. On my way out I mentioned to another register clerk that this would be our last trip to Toys-R-Us, and she stopped me and wanted to know why. I explained, and she said, follow me. She had someone take over her register, took me back to the electronics department, told me to get the accessory in question, then forced the register to override the price with 40% off. She and the other sales clerk in the electronics area then proceeded to have a dialog about why the shift manager hadn't done "what was right." That's what should have happened to begin with, but I will continue to shop at Toys-R-Us now due to that clerk doing the right thing for the customer. Gas isn't cheap, and having someone drive all the way out only to a store just to find out the sale has hidden, significant exclusions just causes people to shop elsewhere.

Why did this deal happen exactly one week too early!!

Damn!

It would have been a perfect birthday present TRU, but I don't have any money to buy games this week. :'(

Thank you. Time to buy Operation Darkness, Zoids and Vampire Rain

Awesome. I know where I'm going Friday...

Darn, I wish I read this yesterday about the Wii Points since I don't know if I'll be able to head to Toys R Us today and don't want to buy online really. Maybe I'll still get out there and also check out the games too.

Good luck finding the point cards.  They were completely sold out at our local store within an hour of opening.
