Toys R Us is doing their yearly buy 2 get 1 free sale on video games. Here is a link to the in store brochure (http://www1.toysrus.com/index.cfm?lb=1#). You can also get this deal in their online Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/13791591/103-4413104-3032660)store.

I am not an employee of Toys R Us, but I wait for this deal every year to catch up on all the holiday games that I otherwise couldn't afford.

Good stuff, I'll have to make a trip out today. It's a shame they didn't include GBA, DS and PSP titles in the sale.

Anyone got some good games to buy in each of these deals? Any console. EDIT: And you get the same deal online too, right, with no catch?

btw, all 3 games don't have to be on the same platform right?

There really aren't that many games in that bunch that are worth the deal. Most of the ones that would be, people would already have. There are some worth getting, but they are usually 20 bucks anyway, and several have used prices around 10-12 bucks.

I don't buy from this deal since two years ago when I went to take advantage of this and learned a little about Toys R us' customer service. I picked up the two plus one free and found that one of the games I purchased was replaced by a freebee cd. The game showed no signs of opening, but was shrink rapped like many places do. When I tried to return it. They refused to allow me to return it and replace it as I had gotten it for "free". They accused me of trying to steal a game, and refused to allow me to return all three games when I got irate. I called their corportate office, and they feigned intrest in helping me, but ultimately they brushed me off.
The way I figure it, one of their employees swiped the disc, and resealed the game leaving it to screw me over. The way they treated me as I was guilty of a crime, and they had no responsiblity to replace the missing game, because it was free, makes me never want to give them a dime again. Just letting you guys know, if your young and this happens to you. Have someone a bit older run in as they will prejudge the situation based on you.

I have never even attempted to return a game since I expect to live your experience. It's a shame, I don't think buying a game, copying it and returning it is a popular method for stealing anymore.

Yeah, this definitely applies to ALL PS2/Xbox/GC games and is easily the most popular sale at TRU (I used to work there).

Well, here is what I got:

Tales of Symphonia
Star Ocean: Till the End of Time
Kingdom Hearts

I think I should of gone with Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes instead of Kingdom Hearts, but I'm on a weird-fantasy kick right now. Damn you Disgaea :p
