I dunno, I'm not completely convinced of the value that is SIE from watching the videos. Give me a good sales pitch.
It is actually a fantastic game. You might want to read some reviews but I really like it. It also has a fun single card, two player mode.
As for the sale, I usually go after the games that are $30+ because that way I feel like I am reallly getting a deal on the free one. However, sometimes I can't find three at that price and end up with a lower priced game and that sucks.

Say, how is Contra 4? I believe that's at $20 now right, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to pick up Contra 4, Space Invaders Extreme, and Arkanoid, although I must admit that I am not in love with the idea of playing it without the paddle controller.... damn you Taito, why didn't you release the paddle controller for the US release?
Contra 4 is GREAT game, but it is also incredibly hard. If you like a man's game, one that will put hair on your chest, then pick it up for sure. It's very well made, great graphics and gameplay, and even though it is incredibly hard, it never feels cheap.

Contra 4 is fucking great. My GOTY 2007.
This is coming from quite possibly the biggest Contra fan on this board who scoffed at the idea of Americans developing it right up to when I played it.
Nanostray 2 is also really nice -- again, this coming from a guy who found the first one to be woefully mediocre and only bought 2 out of pity since it dropped to $20 in like two weeks.
So if you're going for some $20 buys, those get my recommendation.
Space Invaders Extreme...I dunno. I'm watching videos, and eh..I'd rather play Space Invaders '95. Everyone else is eating up from the looks of it though, so what do I know. I hear it's real difficult, too.

I'm guessing this promotion is USA only, as per usual with TRU?
There are some DS games I need to catch up on.

I own all three and if they have those in stock, that would be a great deal.
You can get the paddle for Arkanoid through NCSX.Com for about $25. They carry all four colors and just got restocked on them.
I have heard some mixed things about it.
I just got back from ToysRus and they had more than I thought they would. I picked up Guitar Hero DS as part of the buy two get one free. I also had $15 in coupons which was nice.
I will post this here as well in case anyone is heading to TRU. TRU is the exclusive carrier of the game Soul Bubbles for the USA, just in case you want a copy.
The TRU by me had the following...
DS
Jam Sessions $5
Magical Starsign $10
Elite Beat Agents $10
PSP
Jeanne D'Arc $10
Ultimate Alliance $10
Harvest Moon Boy and Girl $10
Exit $5
They also had some Wii, 360 and PS3 clearance games as well.
