Toys R Us is having a promotion for Nintendo's new console, a total of 25,000 Wii units will be giving out over the duration of the event, this news comes from In-Store Marketing Group, the game is based off of NBC's Deal or No Deal television program.

Weekly circulars will have two suitecase cutout game pieces, players can cut out the suitecases, go into a Toys R Us store, and opt for a Deal (Scores them a 10% off an in-store item coupon), or a No Deal (Cashier's scan the ticket, lucky winners score a Wii console, or lose their 10% coupon in favor of a 5% coupon).

Players can play once a week as they get the new ads in.

There's also a $1 million prize, including a trip to Los Angeles to attend the show, as if anyone wants that. There's also a handful of other prizes including Nintendo products (non-Wii), Sony products, and Leapfrog products.

The premise of exchanging a coupon for a big free gift or a coupon of lesser value sounds like gambling. This can't be legal in all states.

I don't want this contest to be curtailed, but some overactive scold is gonna make a fuss. All I'm saying is pursue this as soon as possible before the promotion hits a roadblock.
