Annual ToysRUs 'Buy 2, Get 1 Free' update
Haven't seen it mentioned here...
Somebody at Gaming-Age's forum is claiming as "definite" that from October 19 through 25, it's Gamecube games only for the 'Buy two, get one free' offer.
Then, the following week, it's PS2 and Xbox, so if you own these two systems, you can split your purchase with one Xbox and 2 PS2 games, or vice versa.
And the person passsing along this info says he has the TRU flyer for the first week in his hands, and the Nintendo offer is indeed true.

I read about this earlier 
. I was hoping to mix and match PS2 and GC games. Hopefully Castlevania:LoI and Kill.Switch will be released for the PS2 before this is over. I'll pick those two up and get Jak2 free.

Hmm, I never thought of that I just assumed all the games. Hopefully all, everytime I have read this on msg boards they never mentioned anything about a specific list though.

Hopefully it will be good on pre-orders like last year. I know there's not three GC games I want during that period, and probably not 3 PS2/Xbox games, most of the games I want come out after that. Like FFX-2, Ratchet and Clank 2, LOTR: ROTK, Ninja Gaiden etc.

From: Work. Or commuting. Certainly not at home.
Assuming the PS2 time period is true, and assuming that I can get any game, and assuming these games actually come out, I'll end up with WWE Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain, SSX3, and ESPN NBA Basketball. I'd get more but I think my wife'll kill me if I try.

I'm getting Top Spin. That game will RULE. I'll combine it with the XBOX Music Mixer and either Tony Hawk or FIFA Soccer 2k4.

A TRU employee told my roomate a couple days ago that it is buy 1 get one. And there were no limitations. I doubt it but whatever either way its a good way to stock up on new games.

Buy 1 get one is even better 
. I'll call one my TRU stores today and see if I can get any info. One of the manager ladies there is real nice and is more than willing to give out lots of info.

Buy 1 get 1 free I agree is a great deal; but I just can't stand the thought of buying NEW games... damn, I'm so cheap... can I have my 10% used games discount now please?
