X-Box games deal at ToysRUs (B&M and online)
Toys R Us (both online and B&M) is running a deal on select X-Box games. You can buy two games and get the third game free. All games must come from the following list: NBA Inside Drive 2003 (not a typo... 2003), TimeSplitters 2, Dead To Rights, Blinx - The Time Sweeper, Blade II, Lord Of The Rings, NHL Hitz 2003, and Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer.
Some of these games are available with free shipping online, and my online order didn't have tax added. I picked up Inside Drive, Blinx, and TimeSplitters 2 for $99 and some change.

Good deal. I already had Time Splitters 2 pre-ordered from Amazon anyway. I took Dead to Rights which I've been wanting for a while. I picked Blinx as my wild card, but not sure if I want to keep it but none of the other games interest me.

Anyone try this at one of their B&M's yet?
By the way, when does this deal expire?
There's two titles from that list I would like to pick-up so I'd gladly take the third since it's free.

Dang it, I'm torn. I'd even pick up Blinx again for this kind of deal, but who knows when it'll expire? I have $15 in Toys R Us gift cards that can only be used at a B&M, but I don't know when I'll make it there.

thanks Shuki, it didn't really say much. i'll just go ahead and order online with the zero tax and free shipping. I don't have a car anyways, so it's less hassle.

Check the email confirm you get. When I placed the order and used the coupon it showed up at 99.95, but in the confirm email it doesn't mention the coupon at all, and shows the full $149 charge.
gotta email them now.

TimeSplitter 2 is delayed until October 25. Does Toys R Us do rainchecks?
I want to get Dead to Rights, Blinxs, and TS2, but this deal expires on Saturday. If they don't give rainchecks, I guess I'll have to take something else, wait until TS2 is released, then exchange it for that.

I did TS2, Dead to Rights and Blinx. The code worked just fine, for all 3 games it came out to 99.98 shipped. Which in my opinion is a great deal... Thanks for the heads up...

This offer was to good to pass up so I picked up Time Splitters 2, Dead to Rights and Blinx. I did have some trouble last night when I tried to order. When I went to change my payment method, $49.99 was added back to my order and I couldn't get it to come back off. But when I tried this morning I had no problems at all.

Okay....I placed my order and it showed the correct price
until.....
I get the confirmation e-mail and it says 149. and change.
So I e-mail amazon and I get a totally different response.

Thank you for writing to Amazon.com to bring this to our attention.
I apologize for the technical error that caused your order total to
be calculated incorrectly. Upon investigating your order, I found
that it did qualify for all of the promotional discounts you
mentioned.
We will be glad to issue a refund of these additional charges. To
ensure that we refund the appropriate amount, we kindly request you
to wait until the entire order has been shipped.
When you have received our e-mail confirming that your order has

Why can't they fix it now? It's a grea deal and I shouldn't complain but I have no clue why it can't be fixed now. I've e-mailed Amazon a few times and had a handful of problems with them and I've never goteen such a dumb/odd response back.

For those of you who are being charged full price, have you tried cacelling your order and then replacing the order again? Whenever I place an order I always go right to the order status screen right after I have placed the order and check to see if the coupon was taken off. If it wasn't, I just cancel the order and start over. Usually the coupon is still in the system and automatically comes off.
