You do realize this is unethical and fraud, right?

TRU has an Amazon storefront? Where?

I read it wrong, TRU's Amazon front apparently closed a while back - Amazon is just matching the sale themselves.

Restricted selection, put prices seem to be cheaper on same-games.

Amazon's sale is misleading though. For example, while they list lots of PS3 games
as being eligible for this sale if you try adding 3 games to your cart and one of them is
shipping from a third party vendor (even though the 3 for 2 offer shows up on the third
game's page) you don't see the discount in your cart. All of the games apparently have to
be shipping from Amazon directly. I even tried adding 3 games from the same third party
vendor and still don't see a discount.

Try adding MotorStorm, Pure and Metal Gear Solid 4 to your cart and see what happens.

Maybe that's just going on with me but I think that's a rather shifty advertising deal...I also
noticed they raised the price on several eligible games right before this "sale". Good way
to pick up 3 of those $50+ games though I guess...
