Update on the Toys-R-Us Buy 2, Get 1 Free

Toys-R-Us is the enemy, ya'll.

First off, I didn't know I'd have to abandon any hope of picking up a copy of "Bully" there. They were saying, in all manner of unsubstantiated ways, that the game "hasn't been released yet." Now, this being after I've not only seen it available online, but after also having seen it in Circuit City one block away. Which is where I picked it up, thanks to a 10% off coupon from the latest issue of PSM.

Second off, they almost didn't have SHIT that I was looking for. No "Urban Chaos;" no "God Hand;" "Mortal Kombat: Armageddon" wasn't out on the shelves. I managed to find "Justice League Heroes" and "Hitman: Blood Money." They also had some $20 Greatest Hits, but damned if I wanted my free game to be a $20 game that I can pick up later. I happened to see a copy of "MK: Armageddon" in the shelves behind the clerks (when I went up to ask about "Bully," natch), and they said they had "one copy left." Well, presumably, now they have no copies left.

So, almost $120 later, I have four PS2 games ready to dig into this week. I also hear that FIFA 2007 is pretty good, but I think I'll wait 'til that goes Greatest Hits before I try it out.
