Is this good in store as well? I can't seem to get that stinking Lego Batman game (OOS online) and can't find the Lego Star Wars on their site for the Wii. :gdparanoid:

The Weekly Ad for B&M stores on the website show the Buy 2 Get 1 Free (all week), and 40% off all Wii accessories (Sun and Mon only)...time to get that classic controller add on I've been wanting to get for awhile now.

Doesn't work for Mario Kart :(.

Check some games against amazon to see if it is a good price. (A couple were 39.99 compared to 19.99 at Amazon)

The Wii remote does not seem to be included in the 40% either. At least it does not show online. We really need one tow :(

Lol, it's probably only 40% off of the silicon covers with a *all controllers excluded* byline...


that would be our luck anyway...

The site has been really slow. I found out about the sale just after midnight and I still cannot place an order because of how slow it has been going through the different games. I have already lost out on Sluggers for the WII. It is OOS

Yep. I started to get excited when I seen 40% off because I was wanting to get extra controllers. Below that in very tiny print says remotes and numchucks excluded. :(

Try to get the Wii Play game in the Buy 2 Get 1 Free offer if you need another controller (since it comes with a controller).

I saw the post right after midnight and tried then...most were in stock, but the one I wanted was gone already (Batman Lego for Wii). The TRU site is always really slow for me on AOL, but Foxfire was a bit better last night, so I used that one to scroll thru the site.

what is Foxfire? I hear people talking about it but I am lost.

I was able to place one order finally. Something that was confusing was that I added to my cart games that were marked b2g1 but only the first 3 games actually worked. I put in 2 xbox games and got one free. I completed that order and going to try again with the others. The others I was trying for were Wii games and DS games which said they were b2g1 but did not show the free on in the cart.

It's Mozilla Firefox (sorry, I wrote it wrong earlier)...it's a different browser to use intead of AOL, Internet Explorer, etc. I really like it better than any of the others, but usually use them because my computer defaults to them. You can Google it and get a free download of the browser.

I have off today so I am going to try to get by there. I am hoping the classic controller is 40% off (the ad doesn't mention this one) and I can get some other stuff as well.

Wii Fit is included in the offer. A great deal if you can find the fit in stock. (I got lucky at the B&M)

How come no one talks about Wii Outdoor Challenge? Is it really that bad? I'm choosing to get this ofr my son for his big present at Christmas. I liked the fact that they are going to sell other games to go with the mat, too. We have Wii Fit or I'd try to buy Wii Fit and this game. I've seen tons of Wii Fits around town lately.

Littlest Pet Shop games come out Wed. If you buy them at Best Buy ($29.99) you get free styluses that match the games (jungle, arctic, garden); if you buy them at TRU you can include them in this sale and get a free geoffrey stylus.

some peopel are having luck having their Best Buy match the B2G1 sale but that's EXTREMELY YMMV. I've never had that luck.

I was able to ad match this deal at walmart today. I really hate to give toys r us my money, every time I go to tru the workers are so rude or they don't have everything in stock. I worked there one Christmas and it was a nightmare lol.

We just got Wii Fit. What are some good games to play besides the one that comes with the board? How do I know if a game is compatible?

I know that Wii Ski uses the board but I don't know of any others. If a game is compatible, it will note that it uses the Wii balance board.

I did get lucky... I didn't see the fine print and the guy who checked me out was like 12.
I also found a Wii sling bag marked down to 9.98 and got 40% off that too :D

I lucked out at the store a couple weeks ago and got a wii fit. The guy working in that department that was helping me told me as of right then there was only 2 games you could play with the wii fit. And wouldn`t you know I already forgot what they were. LOL.

Did anybody get the store to say that the wii fit is an accessory and give them the 40% off? Our store says that they have them but that they are not an accessory.

Mine said the Fit was a "game" and included in the buy 2 get 1. Probably not as good as 40% off, but I took it.

I got the wii fit, a couple of games (including the WeSki, if you don't have it, I highly recommend it!) on the buy 2 get 1 free sale. Then of course, I had to take advantage of the 40% off of accessories and was able to get the Fit mat and silicon cover for the board at sale price. :D

I grabbed this today since they were pretty picked over. It does looks like fun. I also grabbed the new Crash Bandicoot game and a Cheerleader game that is new. I had a $10 off $50 coupon I got in the mail a couple weeks ago and paid $106 for all 3. :)

I wonder why preorder's are not included. 2 of the 3 games I really wanted are not due out till Oct 21st and Nov 2nd. Hopefully they will offer this deal again.

Unless they do something different then usual, they only do this sale this time every October. That is how it has been the last 3 years anyways. I missed it last year. :( I wish they would do it again though as I would like several of the preorders also. :( Well I take that back. They also had one of these sales back in June as well. But I doubt they do it again before Christmas. :

When I went to my store I told the salesman that it was sold out online and that I really wanted to get it in the deal with my guitar hero $89 and dance revolution $69. he came out a few minutes later with one that was in the back. i guess some employee must have been hoarding it. Thanks though, the game looks awesome.
