Some friendly advice on the upcoming Toys R Us buy 2 get 1 sale

Some people know that toys r us is having a buy 2 get 1 free sale 10/11 to 10/17. Great news for us gamers as I love this deal and used it every time they have it.

Just so you know.. yes people wanting borderlands or RAC.. you can buy a "filler" game. Meaning out of the 3 you buy, get one.. don't open it and exchange it for another game within the normal return policy window, even if it wasn't released during the sale week. I have done this in the past to great success.

Word to the wise though, make clear the "return policy" with your local Toys R Us store as I have heard some stores won't exchange without all three. In these instances it seems that it is the game that is marked free. So your best bet is to actually tell the employee what game you want free. (pick the game you know you wont want to exchange.. ie Uncharted 2)

Sorry Canadians, this sale is US only btw.

I'm getting Brutal Legends and Fallout GOTY and Flashpoint 2, and then I'm going to exchange Flashpoint 2 for Ratchet & Clank

What you're saying is... if I get games A, B, and C, I should make sure that C is the game I get free because if I want to use it as a substitute for game D, which releases a week after the sale dates, I can still go in and trade it as long as this abides by the store's policy?

So you're telling me that I can go buy Uncharted 2, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising and random game X, then wait about a week or so (or however long is allowed in the store return policy) and then trade game X for another game wanted that came out after the sale?

ima buy operation flash point i think batman and demon souls or halo odst

Ok, so random game X has to be one of the bought games?

So basically, buy one game I want, get one game I want for free, and buy one I don't really want so I can trade it later on for another game that I do want?

That's pretty awesome, I just learned something today.

Can't you just buy 2 get 1 free, then take the 2 back and keep the free one. Then repeat the process?

But you can EXCHANGE the games, as long as they are not opened and done within the normal return policy. I wouldnt chance exchanging the free game as it technically has no value. Thats why I say make sure the free one is a game you know you want.

I wish I had 3 games to get. I've already pre-ordered most of my games from Amazon because they rock the house so hard on promotions and discounts. The only game I could see myself getting is Fallout 3 GOTY. No other future releases interest me except for Dragon Age: Origins, but once again, Amazon is rocking the house so I'm gonna order it from there.

Like seriously, it's amazing the kind of deals and discounts I got from Amazon the past few weeks.

Thanks for the date dude. I know Toys R Us every year in October has the buy 2 get 1 free. Now I can get Uncharted 2, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and some other game for free. I've been holding out on some games for this time to get them. Plus, I have over $40 of Toys R Us money to spend thanks to the Batman: AA $30 gift card and a $10 off Geoffery birthday coupon. Sweet!!!!

or heres a novel idea instead of all this confusing stuff - buy 2 get one free and return the free one to walmart with no receipt and get 60$ back - i work their - you dont need a receipt

also demon's souls and fallout 3:goty edition aren't on their website so they may not have those games.

Really? I can just show up and return some random new sealed game and they'll give me 60 bucks no questions asked?

I need some help picking out a third game. I've already decided on LBP GOTY and GRID, but I don't know what to get as the third game... I would prefer it to be under $30. Currently I've got R2, Midnight Club LA, Warhawk, Bad Company, and MGS4.

Depends on the Wal Mart, then, because you need receipts at mine. In fact, they won't even let you return something if they read the serial number and find out it's from a different Wal Mart.

That's awesome. I've been waiting for TRU to have their buy 2 get one free sale. You used to be able to trade any of the games in for something else a few years back, but I guess too many people took advantage of the situation and they changed their policy. I was one of those people. :) Good times... :)

I guess I'll have to call my local walmart and ask about their return policy. If I can get $60 cash/gift card, that would be awesome. :)

well yeah its a 60 dollar girft card in most cases but they dont check the serial on games because there is no serial number on games - i once got a game for my birthday i didnt want it so i went to walmart (even though they didnt buy it there) and returned it for however much they were selling it for lol but if u make a habit of it - u will get flagged in the system but it works at least 3 times per walmart haha

does the but 2 get 1 free work like this can i get 2 games that cost 60 each and the free 1 can it cost 60 or it has to be less help me i wanna know

Usually less or equal too

wow, im really confused, can someone explain this better?Crispenz
