The deal on Ace Combat isn't bad, but as Cheapy would say weak sauce.

ToS for $39.99. :shock:

I would badly want to get it for that price, but there's no Fry's in my area. :cry:

Karaoke Revolution Volume 2 for $29.99 is also excellent. I really want to go to Fry's now.

The also have a Hitachi 250 GB for $79.99 AR. Does anyone know if this will work with the PS2? I already checked the PS2 HD compatiblity chart, but no one has tried it out yet.

Thanks

Ace Combat 4 is an awesome game. I suggest getting it for that price.

Samurai you can always price match them if you get the ad at BB or CC.Well, I'm not sure if it would work because I don't have an ad, and the nearest Fry's is located in Illinois. I have gotten Best Buy to price match many other things, but I might have to see if it works.

ncaa 2005 for $38 is a damn good deal. I just hope that it's not one of those stupid rebate deals.

Hmmm....kind of wishing I'd held off on pre-ordering ToS at EB for full price now. Hope that free art book and poster are good enough to justify the extra $10 :?

Burnout 2: Point of Impact: Developer's Cut also at DFW for 9.99

take the ad to BB and use a XBL coupon and get ESPN NFL 2K5 for 12.99. YMMV due to who checks you out. if they give you trouble just tell them that Price match is a policy, a coupon is an offer, your not combining offers.

R: Racing Evolution is at DFW too.

hey, FIDODIDO !

if your going to keep a tread about sales make sure you do it right.

you've put 4 games on sale at SJ only when they are on sale at DFW too.

Check what other people put on your thread to update the main post.

Enter the Matrix, Shinobi, Burnout 2 and R: Racing Evolution are the ones I know of that you have messed up.

That's one way to to look at it.

My view is this: I keep the posting updated with items which appear in the print ads themselves. I even make sure to mention at the top of my post that there is often an overlap in sales items from store to store. But the fact is that I've found there are just as many people interested in the ads for the purposes of PMing the deals elsewhere as there are who go out and buy them. I'd be doing them a disservice if I updated items which are on sale and don't actually appear in the ad at all.

"SJ only" isn't an indication that the item is only on sale in SJ. It's just an indication that the item was advertised in the SJ ad only.

The threads regarding these ads rarely go very long. This isn't the CC clearance we're talking about. I don't think that's it asking too much for people to read through the responses to find out that additional items are available.

I just discovered today that the ads printed in the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star Telegram don't match.

I looked at the FW paper Sunday. ESPN was the only game.

I'm at work and pick up the DMN and discover Burnout 2 and RRacing.

I had no idea that the two papers were different. I want Burnout but now the sale is off!!!

What a load of crap. Why can't they put out the same ads.

FYI, ign.com reviewed Catwoman and gave it a 4.0/10. It's $29.99 this Thursday at Fry's but with that bad of a review, I think I'll pass.
