Well, most of us read about this one..

25US$ gift card when getting SMG

So, I went to Toys R Us today and is one of teh following:

1. This is not true

or

2. It would start working on the day of release, because noone knows anything about it.

Which bring me to a lil question... If i reserve SMG (get the coin promotion) when i go to the store and actually buy it, would i get the 25US$ gift card??? That is how it works? Because if is buying teh game without the preorder that would be a hard one to get :P

Has anyone use this promtion?

Thx

I'm really skeptical of this promotion. If they were giving away $25 for some crappy game, or a big bundle, I'd be more inclined to believe it. Super Mario Galaxy doesn't really need promotions to sell itself.

This is probably true, because it says, Mario Galaxy, avaliable THIS tuesday so that means the Ad will be for this sunday.

It's a really smart promotion by Toys R Us because they know a ton of people are buying Super Mario Galaxy. The main ploy of the promotion is to get people to buy it at Toy R Us instead of other stores like Gamestop and Best Buy. Which makes sense because I never even think about Toys R Us when I buy games.

Yeah, I see what you mean. Although Target was givin' out 5 dollar gift cards when you bought COD4, which is a very solid AAA game...

So who knows anymore. Haha.

My brother-in-law works at a Toy's R Us, and he told me about it. He said that you get the gift card when you actually purchase the game.

It was a leaked ad for this coming Sunday so employees would either not know about it or are not allowed to talk about it just yet.

You don't have to reserve but you risk the game selling out.

I think it could be true... When I bought Madden 08 at Toysrus they said I could get ANY 2nd game for half off.. Which essentially was like saving 25 bucks lol

Dude, the deal is for real! I went to Toys R us to shed some light on this deal and the store director even told me so, I will get the lame coin and the $25 gift card when the game arrives on launch day.

toys r us had a promotion for madden: buy madden and get another game half off. so i bought madden and bioshock, both games that just came out and highly anticipated, for $90.

since they did this in the past i can see them doing this promotional deal for SMG.

Wow, I just might cancel my pre-order at Gamecrazy. I'd rather get a $25 gift certificate than a coin...

Does anybody know if you can only get the gift card on Tuesday?

For instance, if it's sold out then, and you buy it later in the week, will you still get the gift card?

Is this for Canada as well?

If so, if I pre-order on Sunday, will I still get the coin and $25 card?

Again, is this for Canada?
