Real or not?

Found this sample image on SD. It may be true after all.

SHADYnky said:My buddy who I mentioned earlier that works in the game department at TRU just called me and he said he talked to his store manager and there is NO sale this is bogus. I respect your arguements that an employee would lie to a customer so they could get a deal BUT there is no way that a store manager would lie to an employee about this especially when the manager is good friends with that employees family.

If this was at all legit then don't you think a store manager would know?? This is bogus, end of discussion.

It's a hoax!

FW's motto should be

"flame now, and ask questions later.."

everyone is gets discouraged so easily about such a great deal. for most of you speculating that this deal is already dead, boo on you. how do you know? not to say this deal isn't a lie. EA has claimed lackluster video game sales for the holidays for their inability to meet this quarter's estimated profits. so i could see that this could be a possiblity, even though we know that is a cop out answer.

i worked at Circuit City before, and at the end of the night the computers downloaded updated price tags unbeknownst to the managers. these price tags included sales items, clearanced items, price corrections, etc. this was a couple years ago, mind you. such a system could exist for TRU today that would bypass all the knowledge of managers and keep employees from abusing such a good deal or good deals in the future... i.e. hording all the sale merchandise and then reselling on fleabay.

anyways my point is there are information systems that can go around the knowledge of managers and employees, we shall find out tomorrow if this sale is valid.... so stop throwing in worthless "this deal is dead" crap.

Ok, Ok so I had the wrong date.

These could have been some great xmas gifts if the deal was real.

yeah, flame now, ask later indeed.

whether or not you're wanting it to be a hoax, i would much rather this be a legit deal b/c i need to pick up a few games on that list.

so for me, i'm hoping it isn't a hoax, unlike a bunch of flamers who want to say "I told ya so" afterwards.

I think its been covered a couple times but the sale is supposed to be 12/22. Today is 12/21 so going to the store today wouldnt confirm it or not.

annfab said:The big hoax would be if the people who is saying its not legit is saying it to deter people from going at the store tomorrow. Best bet is to be there tomorrow if you really want the games.

Hopefully someone goes and checks it out (I might just do it .. opens at 8).
