    I just called up Toys 'R Us to see if they had Saints Row 2 and Dead Space in the store right now...and they said they won't be carrying Dead Space due to it's mature content Though they will happily sell Saints Row 2, Silent Hill: Homecoming...I don't know, but this just seems absolutely retarded.

    Dead Space has huge buzz at the moment for being particularly grim and gothic. I suppose you have to presume the average Toys R Us manager doesn't properly understand the content of the games they are selling so while we can see the hypocrisy, I suppose they aren't even aware.

    It is stupid though.

    It doesn't make any sense...It may just be this specific store, but they have the game listed online (w/a Oct. 20th release date too). So I don't know what the hell is going on.

    I know a kid who works at our local Toys R Us, and he said they have it in stock in their store. Don't know why that douche would claim the store isn't carrying it due to content.

    I only heard about the fetus raping mission...I wonder if there will be an easter egg where you get to rape kittens too!? That would be awesome.

    I have called up 4 Toys 'R Us stores and only that one gave me the "too mature" line, but none of the stores have the game or know when they are going to get it. One lady just hung up on me when I asked her when they might get it in...

    I am just going to go to my local store and ask them when they think they're going to get the game...if they say "I don't know" or "on the 20th" I'll just pick up a different game for that deal this week. I'm kinda annoyed right now though...I was starting to get really pumped for this game.

    I'm guessing because of that Lullaby trailer that was banned everywhere. They want to want customers to assume Toys R Us are selling something scary like that to their children, trust me if Saints Row 2 got into advertisement controversy you wouldn't see it on shelves either, Toys R Us is just trying to preserve it's customer image.

    I hit every store in town today.  All of them said the same thing:

    "We have a delayed shipment so it will be arriving tomorrow morning".

    I was pissed...and it shot my day all to Hell.

    I hope they get the game in tomorrow, but no store even mentioned any possible day of release. They didn't even have Silent Hill: Homecoming either...the guy just stared at me with a blank face.

    Hmmmm I was thinking something was up.  Went to Blockbuster today to rent it and they told me that it wasn't even in their system....maybe I'll wait for Christmas and just buy the game when I have money...win win either way

    How many times must I keep restating the whole Buy 2 get 1 free deal at Toys 'R Us deal this week...that is the reason for the specific store. It's the only reason I would even consider buying the game right now. I don't think it has to do with the holiday on Monday either because they had copies of SR2. I don't know...even Best Buy has their release date at the 15th so maybe it will be in stores tomorrow.

    My local Toys R' Us didn't have it either.  Although he didnt' say when they would be getting the shipment in.  I'm thinking because of the big deal they got going on, with the buy 2 get 1 free, they're purposely delaying Dead Space so you can't do the deal with it.

    Wow, good job Toys R Us. Anyway, I gotta remember to look into their Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale on games. Can't forget to do that.
