CAG is confirming this as it appears people are getting ahold of next week's ad. All over the front page.
Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, and Folklore as it stands right now.

Anyone actually go to a TRU to see what's in stock? I remember during last month's sale, very few seemed to have Bioshock, none had Eternal Sonata. Ninja Gaiden Sigma also seems like a no-show.
I think I'll return the three that I got during that sale (Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, Blue Dragon) and pick up:
Blue Dragon
NBA 2k8 (360)
some other 59.99 game
and then for the cheaper stuff:
Rogue Galaxy (still 39.99, right? no pricedrop yet?)
FF tactics PSP (hopefully they get some)
some PSP or DS game
edit: woah, they ported the Bleach DS and Wii games over? Maybe I'll pick up one of those (if TRU gets any)

Hmm Zack and Wiki will not make it time for this huh? 
Wonder how much of hardcore idiot I would be if I bought Folklore now but didnt likely own the system to play for few years? lol Would like to support games like that for PS3, would surely make me get the system sooner if I knew more stylish and artist attempts like this were being made rather then just usual FPS and GOW clones.

Do we know definitively about their return policy for the non-free games? A few years back, I did this sale two years in a row with one of the games mearly a placeholder for that year's version of Ratchet & Clank (yeah, I really did pay full price for Grabbed By The Ghoulies -- with full intentions of bringing it right back). If that is the case this time, I'm totally on board (another Ratchet game for me! 
). If not, I'll pass for now.

So we have varying accounts of what happens:
1. Exchanges go through no problem
2. Exchanges go through only for the non free game
3. They only give you one third of the total price of the 2 games to purchase something else
4. They make you return all three games and give you your money back
So again, YMMV.
About M rated games: The Toys R Us near me is a mess, so I always go look behind the counter first. I have never seen Ninja Gaiden Sigma there (and I've asked), and Bioshock was most likely out because of the sale going on.

"Do you have Bioshock?" No
"Do you have Ninja Gaiden Sigma?" No
"Do you have Stranglehold?" No
"Do you have Eternal Sonata?" No
"Do you have Blue Dragon?" No

Gift receipts work. They don't show the price.
Just a few weeks back I returned a DS game from a B2G1 sale a few months ago. It was the freebie. I got full credit and put it towards Metroid Prime 3.

I just told them I got it as a gift. 
So why would they to penalize the person getting a gift?
At least with a gift receipt it doesn't look like you are trying to pull one over on them.
