Toys R' Us all about free stuff this week photo

Here comes the deal train, hop aboard if you're looking for a free game, an Xbox 360 controller or action figures.

Toys R' Us is holding a sale all week on every videogame in the store that costs $29.99 or more. If you buy three of said videogames you will get the fourth videogame for free. While this deal is nowhere near as sweet as their pre-holiday buy-two-get-one-free deal, it's still offering up a free game, and you should never look a gift horse in the mouth (bad breathe or something).

On top of this, Toys R' Us is also giving away a free controller with every 360 they sell. This would be a great deal except for the fact that I think most of us already own a 360, and the last person I know who needed one got it yesterday sans free controller. Well, if your 360 red ringed and you don't want to wait for repairs, and you don't want to spend less on an Arcade, and you didn't buy a in-store warranty on it then you can totally get a free controller.

You may also notice that you get a $10 gift card and Little Sister/Big Sister action figure with the purchase of BioShock 2 and a $20 gift card for Dante's Inferno. Gotta get in there between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Feb. 8 and be a member of their rewards program, though.

Do want action figure. Someone who hasn't already preorder the game on steam and wants to buy it. Send it to me!

Hmm, I can't think of four games I'd want at the moment. I've already got them all!

If the Toys R' Us in Cardiff had these kinds of deals, it probably wouldn't have ended up being closed down and demolished a few years back. Ah, who am I kidding? The place sucked long before that. I stopped going there after they ceased selling games on cassette tapes...I am old.

Beware of TRU free figures; the ODST figure fell apart upon opening the package.



I didn't even touch the figure--the vibrations of ripping the package opened literally shook him to pieces.


Guess those ODST aren't really prepared for shock, now, are they?! OMGLOLZWTFKILLMEPLZ

Actually, that was McFarlane's doing. I don't know what happened, but all those ODST figures were completely botched. I bought two and BOTH broke. The Amazon.com reviews of it don't lie as well.

But as for the Little Sister/Big Sister package, get it! I picked one up yesterday actually at my local Toys R' Us (they retail for $19.99) and they're both great figures.

Three games is bit much and doesn't seem worth it if you have to think about what you should get. If you buy new titles you're looking at about $120 already.

Toys r us has had pretty good deals on the new releases. I still have one of the free $ 20 cards I got from them from modern warfare. I hope the Bioshock one doesn't have an expiry date since the MW2 didn't have one.

Also, I hope TRU is carrying the limited edition of Bioshock. Saving $20 will make me feel better about spending that much on it.

The old publisher I used to work for would frequently ask the question, "Can this game score above an 80 on metacritic? No? Then you need to work on it another six months!"
