I just wanted to know if anybody is having a problem finding dead space at a toys r us near you? I live in new york and so far every toys r us I search for doesn't have it yet, some workers say they'll get it tomorrow some say friday some say sunday. Normally I wouldn't care about toys r us and just buy it from best buy or another store that has it but I'm trying to take advantage of the buy 2 games get the third free sale they have at toys r us, I wanna get saints row 2,brothers in arms:hells highway and dead space but I can't cuz they don't have dead space. I really think the company's holding off shipments to toys r us until sunday when the sales over so they don't lose out on sales what do you guys think?

I don't know anything about the sale, however such a sales tactic does seem possible as they are out to profit off the sale.

It's a bogus decieving scam. Toys R Us is trying to say Dead Space has a release date of Oct 20th, so that they don't have to put it up as an option for the buy 2 get one free promotion, which ends Oct 18th.

But who's the decieving one...EA or Toys R Us?

It's either Toys R Us is only trying to get rid of old games, or EA doesn't want to be part of the promotion...but I think it's Toys R Us. They can't just give away a game free without compensating a developer for it.

So I think it's Toys R Us that's the evil one in this.

Beleive me I was complaining but they don't care,one guy told me that the company(ea) hasn't shipped it to them yet and he said they were suppose to get it tuesday, and another freakin idiot said they were not gonna carry it at all. When I heard that stupidness I wanted to punch him in the mouth, one guy was cool and straight with me and told me he'll call me when they get it and also said if they was hiding it in the back of the store he would of brought it out and gave it to me. Anways my situation right now is i'm holding onto saints row 2,brothers in arms and soul calibur 4 until hopefully I get the call then I could exchange SC4 for dead space, and more BS,I can't open none of the games or else I can't exchange them. I'm so f****** pis*** with toys r us right now.

I gave up on TRU and Dead Space. I wanted it in the buy 2, get 1 free deal, but they never got it in. My TRU said they would get it Monday.

So, I got Saints Row 2, SOCOM and Pure instead.

I got 2 copies at the local toys r us about 3 days ago. The lady there told me that they got the displays but the game didnt ship with it. I dont think Toys r us did this on purpose. They kinda just seem unorganized sometimes. They even had their copies of Fable 2 out and the lady almost sold me one. Dang computer gave her a warning and blew it for me though.

I took the ad to Best Buy and they matched it. Simple as that.

TRU along with other retailers buy the games from the developers before they sell them to you. So even if they give the game away TRU loses money not the developer.

They are just trying to get rid of old stock. They don't want to put the newer games out because they know they will sell anyway.

EA doesnt decide when it is released into specific stores, they dont have any power over toys R us releasing games

I had no problem getting mine at Toys R Us, I picked up Dead Space, Saints Row 2, and SWFU. I'm going to return Dead Space and SR2 though, so I can get Fable and Gears.
