Ok here\'s the deal
This Sunday there will be a coupon in the paper. Buy any 2 PS2 games get a 3rd of equal or lesser value for free
or
you can goto http://www.amazon.com then to there videogames section which is affiliated with Toy-R-Us and pick out you 3 games then during check out put this code in the section where is asks for promotional codes
904494
I bought GTA3, AC4, and THPS3 for $114.00 after taxes and my order clearly showed $-49.99
NOW HERE"S THE COOL PART
You local Toy- R - Us store won\'t let you use the coupon for pre-orders but the online site will.
SO theoretically you can use the code I gave you to order those games you want later on, and use the coupon in the paper to get some games coming out next week or already released
thats 6 games for the price of 4 saving you $100.00
Now some of you\'s can\'t ***** about not having cash for all those games

WORD

I just created a 2nd account at Amazon and used a different credit card (in case they check) and got 2 copies of Jak and Daxter (one for my step-son) and SSX Tricky
SO for $228.00 I got GTA3, AC4 ( for my stepson) THPS3, Jak and Daxter ( for me and my step-son) and SSX Tricky
since I was going to get both copies of Jak and Daxter, AC4, SSX Tricky anyways I now get GTA3 and THPS3 for free and those 2 games we\'re on the bubble for me do to finances
I already have pre-orders for BG: DA and MGS2 so my holidays are secured

This is an awesome deal, how long does it last, and can you use money orders?

Yeah they have a check box during check out if you want to pay with check or money order
The deal lasts for one week. You can use the online code I gave above to order from Amazon and they accept pre-orders
but the actual Store Coupon in the paer is only good for games in stock
-
any word on if this deal is available in Canada?
-
Not sure but Amazon ships anywhere
Just try the code and see, the worst that can happen is they say no. Then just cancel your order
-
It\'s avaiable.
However, all the games I wanted, Devil May Cry, Silent Hill 2, etc. are listed as "unavailable to canadian customers" under shipping, not because of the coupon. Jerks.
Ahhh, well.
-
i\'d of gotten GTA 3/ DMC/ something else.
but they don\'t work apparently =(
-
I\'m going to be taking full advantage of this deal. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Much thanks to ddaryl for keeping us all up to date on this!
-
It\'s no ****ing wonder my Amazon stock investment has fallen from $36 to roughly $8!!! I\'ve pissed away over 1/2 hour trying to purchase AC4, SSX:Tricky, & GTA3 using Ddaryl\'s suggested promotional code. All I\'ve received for my efforts is:
System Error
We\'re sorry. We have encountered a technical problem, which we will investigate. If you were in the process of placing an order, please note that your order has not been completed. Please click the View Cart button at the top of this page and try to place your order again.
If the problem you are experiencing is not resolved in the next three hours, please fill out our Technical Assistance form to report the problem. On the form, be sure to include the complete URL for the page on which you encountered the error, including the last 17 digits
KEEP TRYIN\' FOR 3 ****ING HOURS???!!! They\'re kidding right? They\'ve already "asked me to walk to the back of the line" at least 5 times because their "cashier" can\'t figure out how to enter the flippin\' order...Now they\'d like for me to continue standing in line for up to 3 hours. Bleh!...Hell, worse than "bleh!" this just plain SUCKS!!!!

WTF! they\'re charging taxes on online orders?

depending what state you are in...if you live in Cali and the company or shipping area is in Cali, then you have to pay for taxes but if you live somewhere else besides Cali, then theres no state taxes.

You should\'ve checked "Ship as items become available " because they\'re all gonna ship when Tony Hawk 3 comes in, next week. GTA3 and AC4 will sit there on tuesday until THPS3 comes in. Try and see if you can change it.
-
This deal is awesome, here comes DMC, THPS3, and MGS2
-
Amazon.com is based in Seattle Washington so I got to pay the extra taxes
Still woth it though
ALot of people we\'re having troubles getting orders in last night on IGN. Probably cause everyone is aware of this deal and was tryin to get in close to the same time

I just ordered GTA3, Tony Hawk 3, and Jak and Daxter for $108.00. Can\'t beat it!
-
Well I just found out if you order 6 games 2 will be free and if you order 9 games 3 will be free, but they all have to be on the same order
You can only use the code once, but there\'s no limit
-
KICK HIS ASS, W1NGMAN

I\'ve tried placing my order through 3 different e-mail addresses and having set up 3 different "member" accounts. Not to get around anything...simply to place a single order for 3 games (a process that seems painfully easy for some of our members here to have accomplished!). And what do I have to show for it???
*** We\'re sorry, but we encountered an error when processing your request. Please try again. If you continue to receive this message, please contact Customer Service. ***
I\'ve watched this flippin\' message pop up at least 70 times now during the course of today as I\'ve attempted to order 3 games. This is hor$e$hit! Sorry, ddaryl...great deal for you...but for me its been literally hours of frustration. I must be on someone\'s $hitlist...
-
Is it safer to order by credit card or money order?:o
-
My wife is going to kill me when or if she finds out
ust called up Amazon.com and told them I wanted to add to my order so I can utilize the promotional code
added Splashdown, Burnout and Crash bandicoot (for my step-son)
SO thats 9 games for the price of 6 for me
But thats it I\'m done now. 8 games from now till Xmas will be mine and 3 for my step-son for his Christmas

Okay ddaryl...you know I\'ve been going nutz, so please offer the amazon.com USA phone number (or point me to where I can find it on their site) so I can try to place my order over the phone (or at least speak with someone that might explain why I\'ve been having soooo much difficulty. As I await your reply, I\'m in the process of reviewing their website to find a phone number...but have yet to do so as all they seem to want me to do is e-mail them.
Much thanks!

Its true add in the code AMZNDSVRCARD after the Toys-r-us code 904494 and you\'ll get an extra $10 off
If you already ordered, you can cancel your order and reorder everything. The Toy-r-us code will already be in effect and you just need to add the above code. If you get errors like me its still alright cause after you check your confirmation you\'ll have $59.99 off instead of $49.99
-
This keeps getting better and better!:D
-
Yeah! I just cancelled and reordered and got GTA3, THPS3, and Jak&Daxter for $98.96!!
-
This deal is so awesome. i went from having to sacrifice games I wanted to getting games I figured I wouldn\'t be able to get, like GTA3 and THPS3
I\'m really psyched

-
If i order by check or money order do i still get this deal?!?:sconf:
-
This is coming at the wrong time, I have no money, and even if I get some money its going to a car, so Im ****ED
-

I\'d rather pay a couple bucks extra now than wait a month for all of my games to ship.
-
WEEEE!!!!
MGS2, THPS3, and DMC for $96.45
LOL That\'s cheaper then going into the store and buying them with the in store deal. :D
The only thing I didn\'t do is have them ship seperatly. I need to get my school work caught up somehow and DMC will not solve that :D
-
Oh man Oh man Oh man, I just got MGS2, NHL 2002, and Jak and Daxter all for just $96.45... Oh man Oh man, pleasure overload, PLEASURE OVERLOAD!!:nut: :nut: :nut:
-

2. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3
3. Grand Theft Auto 3
$39.99 for game 1
$49.99 for game 2
$49.99 for game 3
-----------
$139.97 total costs
$ 8.98 shipping costs
-$59.99 promotional certificates
-----------

i used the coupon and an EXTRA $10 OFF !!! bwuahahaha
-
It wont let me do it.
Everytime I try to click on money order or check it tells me that its restricted to one customer at a time.
-

w1ngman\'s mighty sad....:( Tried over 70 times on-site order, 3 different sales reps on phone (thanks for the phone number ddaryl) and even THEY could not place the order for me -- something\'s wrong with my account -- even though my wife just ordered $hit for me just a week ago just fine. So now I\'m relegated to "tech support":rolleyes: The final death-blow!:evil:
-
Yes it finnaly worked for me.
Managed to get Capcom vs SNK 2, MGS2 and Devil May Cry for 86 dollars.
I wont be getting them anytime soon since I\'m having them all shipped to me at once.
But at least I wont have to worry about those games messing up my schoolwork
The problem I had was that I kept putting in the code over and over again. The rep told me it only had to be done once.
-
I\'m having problems doing it. Can someone confirm that it can be done without a credit card?
I click on the "You have $59.99 in gift certificates or promotional credit available for use toward this purchase. Would you like to apply it?" button. And I click on the "Pay by check or money order (or check funds on account)" button. Then when I click the Continue button, I get this problem, "*** You can not use a check in combination with a gift certificate. Please use a credit card or uncheck the gift certificate option below. ***"
So is it possible to not use a credit card? Please help. I really want CvsSNK2 (I\'ll cancel my preorder at Babbages), GTA3, and, er something else (THPS3?). ;)
-
Hell Yeah.
I ordered Devil May Cry, WWF: Smackdown! and SSX: Tricky for a total of $98.96, saving $59.99. No tax in Kalifornien! I use Amazon all the time, they\'re great.
Ironfist, why don\'t you just find someone who has a credit card and make them place the order for you. You can pay them in cash.

My dad already said he wouldn\'t use his credit card to feed my gaming habit. ;) My last hope is my brother I guess. I hope he comes over to our house soon. How long does this deal last?

why dont you just take off the $10 coupon...hint the sentence "YOU CAN NOT USE A CHECK IN COMBINATION WITH A GIFT CERTIFICATE"
-

I don\'t think I can take away things once I enter the code, and I don\'t want to take it away anyways. I want to save that $10. :) I\'ll just call my brother tomorrow.
-
I talked to the rep when I was having problems and You CANNOT use a Check or Money order to pay when you use the gift certificate.
In order to get 59.99 deducted you need to use a credit card. Yeah it sucks :(
And I couldn\'t belive Cap Vs SNK 2 was only 39 dollars.
Maybe I should order online more often.

-
Be there done that. I just ordered 4 games for the price of 2.... Can\'t go wrong. What I did was find a demo disc for 10 dollars.!!
This is where I got the idea

Allllllllllllllllllrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggggghhhhhhtttty Then!
The gods have shined on this mere mortal and granted Amazon.com the mental dexterity to place my order! Ddaryl, why I could only get 3 games instead of multiplying, I don\'t know...but I ain\'t b1tchin\' cuz I already enjoyed the same deal [as we already know from earlier in this thread] by visiting my local B&M TRU
So, here goes!:
Burnout $49.99
SSX Tricky $49.99
Wave Rally $49.99
Grand Total w/ 2 discounts [buy 3 get 1 & $10 off] + Shipping [and yes...I checked the box to *not* ship all together] = $98.96
Ddaryl, thanks once again!

That\'s pretty ironic, Bandit... Your name is "bandit" and you claim I\'m a cheater:D
Oh well, I\'m on even ground with most regarding the actual Amazon.com order placement now since I was finally able to place an order there too! Just wish I could have multiplied it by another 3 games (I\'m such a greedy pig!)...I had 007, Smuggler\'s Run 2, and Top Gun in my sights (not to mention my shopping cart) -- in addition to SSX Tricky, Wave Rally, and Burnout, ...when I looked at my total and it was gonna be upwards of $300 bucks!!! Only accepted the code for 3 games...so I jacked the first 3 titles back outta the picture for the time-being. Still, stoked on the deals...:bounce:

Wingman
I ended up calling Amazon and telling them that there was a messup on my order
I told them that I used a promotional code that stated buy 2 PS2 games get the 3rd free. She verified it and just changed one of my games to $0.00
but other people said you can do it. They probably caught on to it and put a stop to it
Amazon got hit with buckets of orders over 3000 copies of GTA3 we\'re reserved when I called and asked them about my expected ship date.
I\'ll probably goto Walmart and buy GTA3 then when Amazon finally ships my copy I\'ll take it back to Walmart with the rrceipt and get my money back

WHOA! Thanks to rereading down through this thread, I recognized after my order placement that I\'d meant to order Splash Down rather than Wave Rally boy, *that\'s* gonna be confusing for a lot of folks I bet!. Anyway, called order services & got it switched with no problems...Amazon is, perhaps, slowly redeeming itself in my eyes... :nut:
-
Oh man... haven\'t been here in a while. Please tell me this deal is still valid... if it\'s expired I\'m gonna... well!
-
nah man, it is over. I used it on one purchase but also wanted to use it for GTA3, Top Gun and NBA Live 2002 but I was two days late.
