Discountoid: Buy 2 get 1 free, cheap Wii accessories and more massive savings! photo

The giraffe has lost its mind.

Toys R Us is having a HUGE video game sale this week. All games are "Buy 2 get 1 free," including new releases! This includes titles from the website, so you could score a great deal on some games that haven't even been released yet.

Not only are the games on the cheap, Wii accessories are also deeply discounted. You can score 40% off on all sorts of plastic crap for your waggle machine. Now, the promotion excludes Wii Remotes and Nunchuks, which goes against the concept of "all" accessories being on sale, but I'm willing to forgive them. Why? Nintendo Points cards are also part of the promotion! It's like free money!

Meanwhile, the other retailers have pretty lackluster promos going this week by comparison.  Circuit City is offering gift cards with purchase of a few of this week's releases and has a "Buy 1 Get 1 50% off" deal running. Target comes to the party a week late by discounting Guitar Hero Aerosmith. And check out Steam today if you want to save 50% on Peggle Deluxe, as that promotion ends tonight.

All the deals this week get rounded up after the jump.

[Massive thanks to Cheapassgamer for gathering info on the Toys R Us promos this week.]

Wait... Does the Toys 'R' Us thing work on preorders too? Maybe now is the time to order Dead Space, Left 4 Dead, and Mirror's Edge...

Also, VixenFox: This is a weekly column that Conrad does to bring together ALL of the discounts. Yes, they reported on the Toys 'R' Us thing awhile ago. And yes, sometimes some websites report news before other ones do. It's not like it hasn't happened the other way around.

In other news, don't be a dick.

@FinalFist: The Toys R Us deal is good for Fallout, just buy from the website.

@Conrad: Not it's not. They said pre-orders are excluded.

Also PC and Mac Games don't qualify. LAME

And it seems only select titles are eligible for the online B2G1 sale even though it says "ALL GAMES". DOUBLE LAME!

Sorry guys. You're right, although CAG is reporting that Fallout 3 CE does fall under the promotion.

I'd take advantage of this deal, but I can't afford to spend the money for one game, let alone two. :(

I can't figure out how to see which titles qualify according to Toys 'R' Us on their website.

Best week of the year!

Well, okay, not really, but still. I didn't really buy any games all summer (or Spring) but CivRev, so I have a few in mind. Last year I was all over this as well.
