Buy Super Mario Galaxy and get a $25 gift card

In today's Toys 'R Us circular ad, the in-store purchase of Super Mario Galaxy at $49.99 will garner you a $25 Toys 'R Us gift card. The ad states that the offer is valid from 11/11/07 - 11/17/07.

$25 for SMG? Sold!

My TRU is going out of business at some nebulous point in the future, and seems like they get about 1 in every 10 new releases. I'm assuming SMG will be a big enough release for them to get it though. Of course, I wish they had it tomorrow which I think is the offiicial release date, instead of Tuesday, when I'm working.

Damn, no Toys R Us's around here. Then again, wtf would I use $25 at a Toys R Us for (except for more games)?

sounds like a ploy just to get you in the door one more time. You're still paying $50 for SMG, you'll just have to find something else for $25 worth getting...
Plenty of PS2 GH titles for $20, shouldn't be too hard...

$25 off Assassins Creed is the way I read it.

Yeah, basically. You could also turn around, return Mario Galaxy and buy Mario Galaxy for $25 if you want to be a dick.

Closest TRU to me is 40 minutes away. Not worth the gas used to get it there.

LOL! I read it as $25 off Assassin's Creed or Mass Effect, when you buy a game you may have only rented.

I preordered my copy. I got to see the commemorative coin that comes as a preorder bonus. It's pretty sweet.

Word on cheapassgamer.com is that if you try this, you'll have to return the giftcard too. It'd be a pretty sleazy thing to try in any event.

There are several good titles for the Wii out this month. I planned on waiting until Christmas for Mario Galaxy, but with that gift card I can get Ghost Squad for only $5 plus tax. Sweetness.

Seriously? That gives me two reasons to go to TRU, giftcard and great game deals.

I'm going to buy SMG, get the $25 gift card and use it to get more Transformers figures. I'm trying to get, at least, all the ones that appeared in the movie.

I was going to get Galaxy and then pick up Zack and Wiki for $15. RE4 is only $30, so if someone hasn't picked it up yet that makes it $5.

Just so everyone knows, TRU is doing a Buy 2, Get 1 Free promotion for the Wii, to commemorate its first anniversary.

So, while most such TRU promotions work across all platforms, this one will be for Wii games only. It begins the week of the 18th, so Mario Galaxy does not qualify. If you do buy SMG this week, though, you can use your $25 gift card and essentially get 3 full-priced games for $75.
