Toys R Us sale at Amazon.com - Grrrrr

I was going to order Rebel Strike III online today with the buy 2 get one free deal... only problem is they priced it at $49.87 so the coupon doesn't work. Grrrr.

On the other hand, Mario Party 5 IS $49.99. So anyone who hasn't ordered yet should try to get that instead!

Uhm why don't you just make the other TWO games $49.99 and make Rebel Strike the free one...


BTW this doesn't apply to preorders... you can't get Mario Party 5...

The reason that doesn't work is because with the Amazon dea you have to buy 2 games that are $49.99 or 2 games that are $39.99 in order to get one free. And then the free game has to be the same amount as the two that you purchased.

$49.99 + $49.99 = Free $49.99 game
$39.99 + $39.99 = Free $39.99 game

That is why Rebel Strike won't work because they priced it cheaper than $49.99. Personally I think AMazon pulled this little stunt on purpose so that people couldn't use Rebel Strike in the offer.l

Though oddly enough I was able to pre-order Mario Kart with this order:

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds"
Video Game; $49.99

1 "F-Zero GX"
Video Game; $49.99

1 "Mario Kart: Double Dash!! with Bonus Presell Disc"
Video Game; $49.99

That's great, we should be able to preorder PS2 and X-box games when that sale starts as well.

Yeah - I never thought of that.

The total was $106 for all three after the coupon was applied. $50 is the pre-release price for this title everywhere. Jeez....

Hmm....now this looks familiar. Where have I seen this situation before. Hmm......

Conspiracy theory? Maybe.

Looks like the Black Helis are starting to show up online too.




we never should have let that darn Talking Giraffe in the country!
