It's quite possible that you live near a KB Toys store; they must still exist or there wouldn't be anybody to announce these promotions. In our personal experience, however, we haven't seen one in years. Every store near the last, say, three or four places we lived has gone away, taking their giant bins of 3/$10 action figures with them.If, unlike us, you're lucky enough to have access to a KB Toys, you can stock up on DS and GBA games this month. From now until the 30th, you can buy one DS or GBA game and get the second for half-price. And if that's not enough to send you to the mall, the same deal applies to Play-Doh.

1. My local KB Toys phased out all of its video games three or four years ago. They even promised me that they could have the special 5-foot case with the light-up Nintendo logo that they kept Gamecube games in, but they couldn't fit it through their door and refused to deconstruct it for me, so I didn't get it.
I still go to the place on occasion, but their prices are usually inflated so I never leave with anything. The fact that a good fourth of the store is devoted to Bratz products and that they're almost always looping tracks from a The Wiggles CD doesn't help the shopping experience, either.
