We all know the Tranformers Movie Video Game is to be released on all platforms this week on Tuesday (6/26/07).

So which stores have the best incentives for picking up the games? I was just flipping through the local newspaper advertisements and here's what I saw.

-Do you like Best Buy's free Legends Figure offer?
-Or do you prefer to take advantage of the Toys 'R' Us sale on DS games (Buy 2 get 1 free)?
-Maybe you want the access to the Robovision unlockable skins information that Target is offering in their games?
-Would you prefer Circuit City's $19.99 sale on the new DS versions (EDIT: K-Mart also offers the DS versions at this price)?
-Maybe you don't want to wait until Tuesday for the DS versions in which time, according to advertisements, you could go to Meijer, or Gamestop.

So the question to be answered, when and where will you get your movie game from? And how many different console versions will you own?

Oh and are you an AUTOBOT or a DECEPTICON? Enjoy!

The headline says it all...

I was tipped to this by an employee at my local TRU. I was going to pick up some games to bring to Botcon, and he said basically that they will go on sale, and that I might want to wait.

I also know that this week's mailer confirms what he said and in the advertisement the 'TF Movie: Autobot' game is shown.

You are going to have lots of choices on deals to get with the purchase of this game, but if you want to get multiple DS games, or both Autobot and Decepticon versions, you may want to take advantage of this sale.

NOTE: Most stores will receive this on Tuesday this week, as that is the official release date, even though some may have released copies early.
