Toys R Us to host a fantastic, albeit brief, pre-order promotion tomorrow

The deal will last a grand total of two hours, between 12PM and 2PM tomorrow, October 28th, and will include considerable discounts to games like Star Wars Battlefront and Call of Duty: Black Ops 3.

12:00:00 - sale goes live

12:00:01 - "Out of stock"

 

[Denouncer]

There's only 20 units of each game. Also, it'll be more like this:

12:00:00 - sales goes live
12:00:01 - site down
13:00:00 - site still down
15:32:00 - site still down
16:30:00 - site back up. "Out of stock"

 

[satanboy]

[blaaislaai]

I want NFS and COD.. hoping to strike lucky

 

[Glordit]

Not even going to try. I already made peace with paying full price of Fallout or NFS.

I don't see a pre-order section on ToysRus or any mention of the promotions happening at 12.?

Suppose just to refresh their website at 12pm ?

It looks like that page is already throwing exceptions. It doesn't look like the site will be able to handle this promotion. Will have to wait and see though.

*edit*

It's loading again.

Down on my side as to be expected.

 

[blaaislaai]

And welcome to the forum!
