Toys R Us scores MAJOR exclusive: Petz Horsez Family! photo

Toys R Us has scored the exclusive rights to sell Ubisoft's upcoming DS game, Petz Horsez Family. When (not if) you go out to obtain a copy of this amazing new game, Toys R Us is the only place you can get it. You better make sure you pre-order!

Petz Horsez Family is being called the "ultimate horse nurturing game" by Ubisoft, and the general consensus seems to be that, as far as horse nurturing goes, this is significantly more ultimate than all of the other ones. 

Clearly, GameStop is f*cked.

This is even worse for the big game stores than the move to make used games impossible. Can't see them recovering from this news

Is that seriously the title? They needed more than one Z in there?

Does this mean my Gamestation pre-order for the limited edition with the Glue Factory DLC is no longer valid?

Jim, if this isn't the end all of horse games, expect to hear from the developers. PERSONALLY.

Petz does really well for Ubisoft so this was a stupid decision.

If irony was a piece of food the hardcore would be turning blue in the face.

Dood! Super hardcore! Forget about Gamestop pre-order bonuses on games like Fable 3 and FallOut: New Vegas,those games don't even have dead horses in them! More like UnAble and FailPout now!

Geoffrey is triumphant once again even if the game has insufficient levels of giraffe and the word 'FamilieZ' in it or a picture of Fabio/generic non-equine beefy 'stud' riding a steed on the box art.

Probably a lot of kids like these games but I guess it is easier being sneering elitists.

@Jab- Joking and general silliness aside,it's a good business move.
If I had my own business right now,I know that I would jump on the opportunity to acquire exclusive rights to a property with a sizable dedicated,less demanding consumer base as a stable means of income rather than banking everything on more sophistcated/fickle audiences.

Look at what happened to comicshops when that industry largely turned its back on children to cater to the more mature audiences.

Toys-R-Us didn't last this long by being stupid.
