FRIDAY DEC 19 UPDATE (by DOA75):
TRU BELL GARDENS, CA must of got a shipment last night. I scored one, no questions asked! Rang up $119.06 with GC! I originally went to get a copy of Rainbow 6:Vegas 2 for $20 and they were OOS, asked on a whim if they had Rock Band 2, they did! See post #1954 for my receipt.

EDIT: How is this deal a scandal? It's in Toy's R Us weekly ad so it's a legit deal. It is both BB & WM policy to match the price of competitors prices on the same available brand and model, so yeah this deal is valid until this saturday ( December 20) But Rock Band 2 will NOT be $109 after saturday.

-------------------------------


Text on front of gift card states it expires 1/31/09. Users have pointed out that would not be valid where overriden by State Law. If the expiration is a concern for you, simply buy something with the (expiring) gift card, and return it--TRU will give you a new gift card back without the expiration date as part of the return (they match the payment method used).

Ad states that gift card isn't activted until 12 hours after purchase... but SD'ers have used the gift card with success on a 2nd purchase immediately after the RB2 purchase.

Wal-Mart will price match the discounted price, but will usually not match the gift card offer.
Typically, Wal-Mart requires an actual ad from a paper, not a printed PDF or other form.

Sales person confirmed with me it was pricemistake. They couldn't catch it earlier.
So this will not be regular price for Rock Band 2. And you will not see this price soon again.
