More internet sleuthery has brought us a list of Black Friday videogame offers at Toys ‘R’ Us.

A little explanation before we get to the list itself: Toys ‘R’ Us will open from midnight Thursday, November 26, and will run two sets of “Doorbuster” deals. The Midnight Doorbusters will run from midnight until Friday at 1pm.  The 5am Doorbusters will go from 5am – 1pm on Friday.  Every other price you see here will be valid all day Friday and Saturday.

Black Friday videogame deals from Toys ‘R’ Us is a post from: The Inquisitr

Toys ‘R’ Us and National A-1 Advertising were the two primary bidders, according to a live blog of the auction by DirectNavigation.com.

The domain, interestingly, had just been sold at auction about a month ago. It had previously been owned by The Parent Company (the owner of eToys), which filed for bankruptcy last December. In the initial auction, toys.com went to a company called Faculty Lounge for the price of $1.25 million.

That sale, however, was reportedly “halted” by a bankruptcy court–which is why the new auction took place. As for why the price jumped up nearly five times the second go-round, that’s anyone’s guess. Even more perplexing, Toys ‘R’ Us is said to have participated in the first auction (which ended at just over $1 million). Guess someone decided to up their budget between then and now.

“Two Rival Groups”

The Toys ‘R’ Us shooting involved only two men, police indicate, both of whom had handguns and shot and killed each other. Officers wouldn’t go as far as to label the violence as gang-related, saying no details would be released until family members had been notified. A city councilman, however, told The Desert Sun the two men were “the only ones involved” and seemed to be part of “two rival groups.”

“I think the obvious question everyone has is who takes loaded weapons into a Toys “R” Us?” Councilman Jim Ferguson said. “I doubt it was the casual holiday shopper.”

Toys ‘R’ Us has also issued a statement saying the “act seems to have been the result of a personal dispute between the individuals involved” and it “would be inaccurate to associate the events … with Black Friday.”

Shopper Scare

The shooting caused concern and commotion among shoppers in the crowded store, with parents and children running and crying. Workers immediately closed the store and escorted shoppers out. No other injuries have been reported.
