Toys “R” Us Pre-Order Scams
Kotaku has reported a couple of Toys “R” Us scams involving the pre-ordering of the Wii. The store chains in Canada and Australia are telling little half truths about their pre-order deals.
There was a pre-order deal in Canada where Wii pre-orders included a controller and game with the console, for the price of $280. Toys “R” Us has pulled this deal, and replaced it with just the Wii console, and the with the remaining $280 price tag.
The next deal isn’t as grimy as the Canadian one, but it still leaves a few unsatisfied with their pre-order purchase. In Australia, Toys “R” Us had Wii posters that read “Pre-order for your FREE GAME.” The company never said what the game was. Now when Australian gamers pick of their Wii and expect a copy of something like Red Steel or Rayman Raving Rabbits, they will be disappointed, for the game that they will be getting for free is… Open Season. Toys “R” Us looks as though they’re aiming to make a few gamers out there angry.
