Has anyone gotten this to work in store? My B&M had no idea what I was talking about. I didn't want to risk ringing anything up. Does it come off automatically?

Deal active at my TRU

For anyone considering buying 2 Wiimotes for $59.98+tax, try this instead:

Buy:
Wii Play bundle x3
$99.98+tax total

Now you've got 3 Wiimotes and 3 copies of Wii Play. Now either

- Keep 1 copy to play (it's a fun collection) and trade the other two in to GameStop for $24 credit
or
- Trade all 3 in to GameStop for $39.60 credit

If you have a GameStop Edge card, or other games to trade in, you can get even more bonus credit. Or you can do craigslist, eBay, game trading site, etc.

Both available in my store, shelves fully stocked and no one seemed aware of the sale.
Also a scratch-n-win game by the cash register gave 10% off purchase.
Bought controllers for three families, games for two and Wii points for me.

What Risk? If it doesn't ring up right you say "I thought it was on sale I don't want it" You have a lot to learn young fatwalleter

this deal has officially been made better

$5 off $25 coupon (B&M only)

edit - my bad, the coupon says it excludes video game hardware and software...but it doesn't hurt to try

Worked for me in the store. It must have been in the computer system. Bought a nunchuck and 2000 point card for $31 including tax. Not bad.

Thanks OP

This went out in an email from TRU yesterday, so it is official and is chain wide.

I don't know why people ever expect any retail worker in any store to ever know what is going on in their store.

There are two separate deals:

Buy 1 accessory, Get 1 50% off
Buy 2 games, get 1 free

Wii Play is considered a game.

Items may ring up full price at first.

If it doesn't ring right ask the cashier to hit total.

Wii play (game only) sells for ~$15 on eBay, so if you bought 3 Wii Plays for $100 and ebayed the games you could get 3 Wiimotes for $55. That puts the 2 for $60 deal to shame.

It's amazing how stupid and lazy Fatwallet has collectively become in the last year.

Not dead. Just got back from my local B&M and there were still tons of wiimotes and nunchucks. Great game selection too. Sale runs through 7:00 pm tonight.

How does a $55 put a $60 to shame?

Your thinking like a lamer, who will never be successful in business. Firstly, chances of someone needing 3 of these are probably not all that great....so maybe someone picks up some as gifts. Who wants to be a lamer and give the will play box withouth the games? Second of all, how much is your time worth? Are you willing to list, pack, and ship 3 items to save $5....thats just $1.33 per item? And thats assuming you get the $15 a game after fees. I can think of other more profitable items to sell that will net me more than $1.33 each.

badgermom said:The poster was saying 3 for $55 is way better than 2 for $60. I just did this and got 2 wii plays with the remotes and another $49 for free(metroid). each wiimote being $33 - $15(that is after fees they are selling for about $18). Makes the wiimotes $18 each that makes 2 wiimotes $36. That is a savings of $24 not $1.33. TOo me that is worth it. Plus I got Metroid a $50 game for $33.

badgermom... which day did you get this? i think its expired as of yesterday.
