You probably need to come early and stand in line to get the bracelet that in turn allows you the freebie. Old Navy is known to give excellent free stuff to the first so many people through the door.

FYI this is not the full game Old Navy is giving out. It is a demo disc with only a couple of levels riddled with Old Navy advertising through those levels.

Did you make that up? The ad says it's the full game $60 value.

Put down the crack pipe and read again. Nowhere does Old Navy mention anything about thei gift $60 value or even giving out the full version retail game. My teenage daughter works at Old Navy and brought home a stack of these yesterday. They explicity state they are not for resale limited play demos for Old Navy.

Post some pictures. There'll be tons of pissed off people.

Two years ago they gave out LEGO rock band. That was the full game...

Hello,

How does this thing work? Do you have to camp and get a ticketand such to get this game? I have never heard of this promotion at Old Navy during thanks giving, but since I see it now I want to know details. Despite the argument of Full version or Demo, I'd be contented just to evenplay the first 5 levels. Any tips on how to successfully attain one?

It'd probably be a better deal if it were a demo disc. Those would probably be worth a lot down the road since they'd be so limited. That being said, I doubt Old Navy would put in the money to order something like that.

Usually 50 per store. They hand out wristbands around 11:45 for a midnight opening, so you can go in and shop quietly for what you need.

1. Find out for certain what time your store is opening (usually midnight) and if they are participating. A recent local ad should do it.

2. No need to camp. Just get there 30 minutes early. Bring a book or something to do while you wait. (Last year, 30 minutes late would have been fine, but this changes from year to year.)

3. As mentioned in the topic, employees will start handing out wristbands to everyone in line. (Sometimes they run out. Sometimes they don't.)

4. Just shop leisurely. When you check out, give the cashier your wristband and they will give you a free game.

I found out the hard way, they handed out wristbands this morning. After I wait 30 minutes in the cold and rush inside and go to the cashier I find this out. 47 wristbands are all they handed out too.

Just got back from the Myrtle Beach store. Waited there for 2 hours. There were 48 total. By 12, there had to be over 100 people there.

This would not have worked. You needed to be at the store here at least an hour and a half early.

For future reference, which store did you go to? I went to Cambridgeside Galleria in Boston last year and 30 minutes early was fine. I guess it varies by location. Sorry to hear you didn't get a game though.

Edit: No wait, you did get a game. Glad you showed up early.

Standing in line here in tualatin Oregon, I must be 50 ish back and I was here an hour early. There is a line around the store. I guess people want to buy actual clothes here?

My wife waited at one of the Buffalo stores and was literally 1 person short after a 2 hour wait. Would have definately gotten one had it not been for the placeholders friends coming out of the woodworks at the last minute. Oh well.

This is the second time in last week he has been wrong about something. When I called him on it in the Sam's VIP thread, a mod deleted my post.

I proved him wrong in a thread about portable HDs. He claimed that "ALL" WD and Seagate USB3.0 portable drives require some special driver to be loaded in Windows to get full USB3.0 speed. I tested my Expansion 750GB HD in my HTPC with Windows 7 and an AMD USB3.0 port, and I had wiped the drive completely earlier, so if there were any special drivers on the disk then they were gone by then. It worked just fine, and at full speed. I benchmarked it, and it was 101MB/sec, which is way beyond USB2.0 speeds.

I've caught him spouting BS at least four times on this forum, if not more. I try to correct it when I see it.

I'm pained to hear that the mods have let his misinformation habit run amok, by deleting posts that correct him. I hope that doesn't happen to me.
