A little known fact to most of the folks who wander by here – for the past several years Toys R Us has run a ‘buy 2, get 1 free’ special on console videogames during the holiday season. This year it begins this Sunday, the 24th. If you’re looking to buy a few games as gifts, you can save yourself $50 by doing your shopping early and getting them at Toys R Us sometime during the next week.

Siblings considering this deal should be aware that the new Grand Theft Auto game or Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne for the PS2 are both excellent choices for me, or Paper Mario for the Gamecube.
