Looks like it's time for round 2

Orange Box + Prime 3 + Paper Mario / Zelda (wii or gamepube)

In-store, or online?

demi, I'd suggest getting the wii version of Zelda if you have LCD.

wii version supports true 16:9.

gamecube version though gives you free camera control.

stupid question but:

the two games you pay for have to be full-priced, right?  and the third game can be whatever you want?

Equal or Lesser Value, any game

Example #1:

Buy 3 360 games @ $60 a piece = third game is free

Example #2:

Buy 2 360 games @ $60 and 1 @ $40 = $40 game is free

Example #3:

Buy 1 game @ $40, 1 @ $50, 1 @ $60 = $40 game is free

That's why you're supposed to buy games at the same price to take advantage of it

That's why you shouldn't have bought VP2 + 2 360 games.  Moran.

There wasn't three 360 games I wanted. If I'm getting a free game, I'm getting one I'm interested in. Don't hate cause you can't participate.

This is a pretty good deal, I used to take advantage of it every year back home, but TRU has a shite selection of games usually.

I'm afraid of Harvest Moon games. I get addicted to them too easily.

I know, but I don't have any of the new systems and my TRU's GC and PS2 section is trash. Maybe I'll get some GBA games...

Oh man. I forgot all about it, I wa sreally psyched when it came out. Orange Box, Blue Dragon and Overlord for 120$ is a deal almost worth pillaging my savings for.

Sweet, thanks for the heads up!

I'll get Orange Box, Oblivion GOTY and something else, someone recommend a 360 game that I can play online!

Preferably full price lest I feel ripped off.


edit:  Probably grab Blue Dragon.

Post by: Beezy on October 13, 2007, 11:03:21 AM
Zelda: PH
Kirby Squeak Squad
Bleach: Blade of Fate
Lunar Knights
Drawn to Life
Rune Factory

There was one other DS game that I saw which I wanted at my TRU yesterday, but I can't remember it right now. Hopefully at least three of these are still there on Sunday morning.

Post by: abrader on October 14, 2007, 09:00:30 AM
I figured out my third game!

So for me its;

Is VF5 gonna be out by then? If not I'll get Biocock, Orange Box (do they sell PC games?), and Rune Factory or VT3.
Title: Re: TRU is having another B2G1 sale - week of Oct 14th
Post by: abrader on October 14, 2007, 02:43:44 PM
I went there this AM.

I got SEGA Rally, Blue Dragon and Oblivion: GOTY - they didnt have Warriors Orochi.

I picked up Warriors Orochi and a used copy of Resident Evil: DEAD AIM at EB with my 8$ Oblivion trade in.

Consolidation is ok....I like having it all on disk in case download isnt available and X360 HDD dies.

Oh yeah there was a line of bitter Wii hunters there this AM.

I walked up and this snotty wrinklefest mom with a visor on said "um excuse me there is a line for the Wii"

I replied and let her know i never did nor will I ever stand in her line - now outta the way - where is the Blue Dragon...

Annoying check out as each person who bought a Wii in the line didnt know anything about video games or the Wii - the clerks had to explain everything - the controllers, the nunchukus, the included games....I got annoyed waiting 30 minutes for each Wii cunt to discuss debate everything from AA batteries to the warranty. They arent selling cars its a damn sub-console.

Post by: drohne on October 14, 2007, 03:29:51 PM
i wanna go pick up orange box, sega rally, and...something. but i can't think of a third game -- if the sale lasted a little longer it could've been ace combat.

i probably don't have time to play sega rally anyway
Title: Re: TRU is having another B2G1 sale - week of Oct 14th
Post by: demi on October 14, 2007, 05:36:28 PM
I got The Orange Box (had to ask them if they had it, it wasnt on the shelf, no tickets either), Prime 3 and Paper Mario
Title: Re: TRU is having another B2G1 sale - week of Oct 14th
Post by: Beezy on October 14, 2007, 07:16:36 PM
It seems that not many people know about this sale yet, at least where I live. Went there around 5 PM and easily walked out with Zelda:PH, Rune Factory, and Bleach: Blades of Fate. There were multiple copies of everything.
