Nintendo and Toys "R" Us make a "Deal"

by Alisha Karabinus { Oct 17th 2006 at 12:02PM }

Toys "R" Us has a new promotional tie in with NBC's choose-it-or-lose-it game show Deal or No Deal. It seems there's a game piece offering the choice in recent store circulars. Choose "deal," get 10% any single item in store. Go for broke and choose "no deal," and you might have a chance at a Wii (second prize) or a DS Lite (fourth prize). The store is handing out 50,000 Nintendo systems as part of the promotion. That's a whole lotta systems right there.

Of course, the grand prize is a million bucks, but does that really stand up to some sweet Ninty merchandise? Then again ... that could buy a whole lot of games.

The catch with the super sweet "no deal" option is that you have to take the game piece into the store to get it scanned, and the winners won't be announced until November 24, so that's a bit of a wait if you're one of the lucky few. Still, if that's all it takes to pick up some free stuff, maybe that's a sign we need to go dig through the paper.

Didn't get one of the ads? Never fear -- you can mail in a request for a gamepiece. Check after the jump for the address.

Patrick: To the right of the main part of the page, there's a header that says "Resources" and under that "Send us news tips." It took me a little while to find that, too ;)

I just might have to partake in this sweepstake :D

Would choosing "No Deal" net me 10% off a Wii? I'd rather get assured savings (that $25 could go towards the component cable).

Will they promote the Wii (or DS Lite) on the show itself? (They have commercials of the Toys R Us promotion during the show but they haven't mentioned the Wii.)

Lisa Gleave (the model who usually holds case #3 on the show) was a Tecmo booth babe at this years E3...I had my picture taken with her, but then again everyone who went to the Tecmo booth got a photo opportunity with them all. It'd be cool to see her (and the other models) showing off Wiis.
