Fry's (Seattle + other locations) - Assassin's Creed - $39.99

[ryamkajr]

The Sunday Seattle-Tmes and Seatle PI Fry's ad lists AC as being available Thursday for $39.99 - for both X360 and PS3.

I assume most other Fry's will have a similar price.

And this was not posted in the main Fry's thread as it is specific to AC.

Delete if required.

Thanks for the heads up I might have to cancel my preorder now

[gsr]

can you please provide a scan or something? Fry's ads usually don't leak early..and it's still Saturday.

[Soodmeg]

What is frys?

I remebering asking this once before and getting ripped apart for it. But honestly dont think I have ever seen a store called frys.

[Indiana Jones]

can you please provide a scan or something? Fry's ads usually don't leak early..and it's still Saturday.

Some newspapers release generic Sunday papers a few days early (meaning no actual late-breaking or up-to-date news) and that's one way you can get Sunday's ads early.

[friedram]

Fry's is a huge electronics store that carries huge volume of computer (all kinds of stuff- Motherboards, etc - and as an added bonus generally about 10-40% more expensive than Newegg.com- so I never buy computer equipment from them), games, TV's, etc.

The occasionally have great deals on things as well.

[ryamkajr]

Sorry, not worth my effort to scan. As I indicated, I bought the EARLY EDITION of the Seattle newspapers (the Sunday paper is combined of both local papers).

It is in the ad.

[mjrgamer]

:applause: another deal on a top game. I'm there, there is all the way in Fremont. :lol:

[chakan]

Need to check my paper for Fry's in Wilsonville, OR.

Thanks for the heads up.

[Brymo]

Thanks for this! I love PMing Renton with BB.

[thingsfallnapart]

i never have any luck pming the renton location with anyone here near lynnwood. Even wal mart gives me a hastle. I have to admit though, 39.99 opens my eyes to assains creed, where as i really had no interest before.

You could be too far away?

I am in Northgate.

[Inf^Shini]

Man, I'm hoping this goes for the LA ads as well

[thingsfallnapart]

You could be too far away?

I am in Northgate.

I've even tried the best buy in northgate, where they gave me the usual to far way thing. Im in no rush though, i get all the buy 2 get 1 at gamestop i want so i can wait for it to show up used.

[panasonic]

does toys r us price match?

[DomLando]

If anyone can pick me up a copy please PM me. It would be much appreciated as there are no Fry's near me.

[fidodido]

I can confirm that this will appear in the Sunday paper in Seattle.

[MastaGamer]

Damn Michigan for having no Fry's...I would much like this game at that price

[Soodmeg]

Damn Michigan for having no Fry's...I would much like this game at that price


AHHHH.

Thats why I have never heard of Frys. I also live in Michgan.

Damn...us Michigan folk are going to have to find a way to get it for 40 bucks also.

[KiySeph]

Nice price, hopefully it'll appear in the Sunday ad for the Bay Area Frys.

If it's on sale, it might end up becoming just like the "GRAW 2 for $34.99" fiasco. If that's the case, you'll need to get there like 2 hours before they get their shipment and just hang around until they receive it. They sold out of GRAW 2 in like a minute. Most people ended up getting rainchecks, I ended up price matching it at Best Buy. Looks like I'm going to have to get a copy of the paper ad.

[panasonic]

is this can be price matched at toys rus it will be amazing. Since i plan on getting galaxy with $25 giftcard then assassins creed would only be $15

[janizzzle]

yea i still got credit @ TRU, i hope i can PM this; thats if it shows up on sunday ads

[DesertEagleXIX]

Sorry, TRU stopped price matching about two years ago. I was thinking about picking up Galaxy there, but then I thought, "What am I going to do with a $25 gift card, when most of the Games at TRU are $10-$15 above the average?"

[allyourblood]

... but then I thought, "What am I going to do with a $25 gift card, when most of the Games at TRU are $10-$15 above the average?"
you could use it to... um... save 10-15 dollars?

crashnburn69, thanks for the confirmation.

Glad I could help.

For the older folks with poor eyesight, that's the following left to right.

Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) - $39.99 available 11/13 by noon
Crysis (PC) - $39.99 available 11/15 by noon
Assassin's Creed (PS3/360) - $39.99 available 11/15 by 5PM

[tak]

That is a really good deal on a day one release. I hope this deal appears at other locations.

[Ryukahn]

That is a really good deal on a day one release. I hope this deal appears at other locations.

Yeah, it'd be great if other stores had this on sale too.

[Felder71]

I can confirm Assassin's Creed for $40 in Atlanta. Available Thursday by 6PM. But Mario Galaxy is $50. Oh well, one out of two ain't bad.

Alright! The deal is in Houston too! I got the early sunday edition, but the only Fry's paper I saw was that little half-paper in the sports section. Going to keep looking. Also for the Toys R US Super Mario Galaxy deal, it doesnt say that you HAVE to buy the game only on tuesday and after 5. Its anytime from 11/11 to 11/17 while supplies last. Just a little heads up for others intrested.

[h3llbring3r]

I can confirm Assassin's Creed for $40 in Atlanta. Available Thursday by 6PM. But Mario Galaxy is $50. Oh well, one out of two ain't bad.
Thank you Felder. Is it in the Sunday early? I ask because I need a physical copy for a price match.

[Tideas]

So does anyone know how long the price for Assassin's Creed will last?

[ryamkajr]

Well Fry's ads are good as follows:

Friday,Saturday, Sunday, Monday ads are good the Friday through Tuesday (after the Friday ad).

The Wednesday ad is good Wed/Thurs.

Something like this, which is advertised in advanced, since it is avail "by" Thursday, is guaranteed ONLY for Thursday (or before). In MOST cases where they have done this (I am referring to Seattle), the same price is advertised on Friday, so good through the following Tuesday.

Again this is NOT SET IN STONE, as there have been times where the price is not good on that Friday. Also each Fry's location can and often has different prices.

So to answer your question, you are guaranteed the price on Thursday (or before). Anything after that date is "your milage may vary".

[monstericreated]

Thanks for the heads up! I was sitting on the fence for Assassin's Creed, but I may have to pick it up at this price.

[kopanda2]

i hope their is gona be a deal for chicago illinois too :O

[hmbtnguy]

Oh man I am so in on this if I can get confirmation that Bay Area Fry's also have the same deal. My sunday paper already came and there was no mention of Assasins Creed.

[Cursor]

According to the Seattle Fry's Ad, the prices listed on Sunday are good through Tuesday. So that tells me that it's probably a 1-day deal here. I fully expect them to see out super-fast and then issue a shitload of rain-checks. Then they'll promise to call you when one comes in and never do so. Still, I have had some success in proce-matching to other stores in the area.

[Teknoman]

Nevermind I found it. Clear Scan incoming:

[rbailey07]

Thanks for posting if in fact this sale does apply to everywhere there is a frys near my job and id be willing to pick up extra copies for those interested. Let me know...

[AllTimeMo]

What does it mean available by 6pm?

[sasukekun]

What does it mean available by 6pm?
No offense, but are you serious?

[Teknoman]

What does it mean available by 6pm?

It means that by 6pm it should be instore. Of course it could be in there before then as well.

[kylerg]

Damn. I will probably work Thursday night, and have to fly out EARLY Friday morning. :(

[United_Korea]

is this Thursday-only?

[maxgeek]

Mostlikely not only thursday, prices are usually good for a few days, but it could (probably will) sell out.

[kopanda2]

anyone in illinois let me know if we get the 39.99 deal too ?

[tinyandi]

Anyone know if this is in the Sunday ad in Atlanta? If so, I'll pick up the paper for a price match.

[Tideas]

yeah but they ain't getting the game til Thursday. So I mean, that don't make sense now does it?

[reicaden]

this is AWESOME! ima try and get it price matched at best buy.... anychance someone is planning to pick up a few and sending out for shipping+ minimal profit? :)

[ryamkajr]

1. They are stating they will have the game BY Thursday. They may get it earlier - as soon as Tuesday (the official release day)
2. The price will be good for any point up through Thursday for sure. Whether it is good past Thursday will be known once Friday's ads are published.

Your best bet is to call starting on Tuesday to see if it has come in yet. My guess, is it will go fast once in, and you may be out of luck if it comes in before Thursday.

Whenever Frys has a deal that I can't pass up and I don't feel like making the drive, I just head to Best Buy with the Frys ad in my hand.

[Furashu]

so if the release date is tues that means its available to buy wed right? so the price should be good?

anyone in socal confirm this?

[cb4774]

so if the release date is tues that means its available to buy wed right?

That sounds right, although video game release dates are always kind of questionable. Sunday's Meijer ad for example, lists Assassin's Creed as available Wednesday, November 14, 5 PM...as opposed to Smackdown Vs. Raw, which is Tuesday, November 13, 12:01 AM.

EDIT: I'd definately go w/Wednesday for AC, both the BB and CC ads state available by 2 PM Wednesday.

[kopanda2]

hey cb4774 on the add for chicago what date did it say Ac would be available, thursday? ^_^

[cb4774]

hey cb4774 on the add for chicago what date did it say Ac would be available, thursday? ^_^

[gum_drops]

Whenever Frys has a deal that I can't pass up and I don't feel like making the drive, I just head to Best Buy with the Frys ad in my hand.

Will best buy price match only on in-stock items? I wonder if they would call to check on availibility or just give me the price match. I assume Frys will sell out pretty quick up here at the reonton (WA) store.

[joserjerr]

Don't forget. Fry's gives rain checks so that's a great way to make sure you get the $39.99 price even if they don't have them in stock. There is no mention of "no rain checks" in the ad so it's definitely an option. For those that need the game day of buying the game somewhere else and then returning and going through the return process is somewhat of a hassle but an option.

[ryamkajr]

most stores in the greater seatle area (at least) will NOT price match to Fry's. Honestly, your best best is WalMart down on Rainier/Tukwila.

[SteveMcQ]

This not showing up for the Indy Fry's will make me sad.

Any chance this deal will be on their website? I don't have a Fry's near me :cry:

Really? Because I tried to pick up Etrian Odyssey there which was 5 bucks off retail. Well they never got the game on Tuesday like it said in the ad. So I asked for a rain check, and I was told sorry. So when i was checking out I asked to speak to a manager who went back to the video game section and talked with the guy who told me to beat it. He said to honor the price and the guy said the only way would be to call me when the game came in and he would honor the price that they advertised. Well I'm still waiting for the call. SO my store didn't understand how to honor their own ad.
Fry's is one of the worst retail stores around. You can see dozens of employees in all direction of you but none of them offer help and seem to be just walking in circles. IMHO I think that they might be an Al Qaeda training camp.

[Tideas]

Frys do do raincheck. I know cuz I bought KH2 off of them when KH2 was sold out at the price it was goin at

[Floyd_the_Hippo]

Do the Fry's in store prices work online as well?

The nearest Fry's is too far away especially since I don't have a car...

[iNCREDiPiNOY]

Whoa... Assassin's Creed & Super Mario Galaxy for $39.99? Wow I'm heading to Toys R' Us to get its Pricematch. I love you Frys! Thank god, I've been searching everywhere to get the cheapest Assasin's Creed. Fry is the only place I can get in Burbank and TRU is 1/2 mile away from Frys/Costco and 1 block away from BB/CC/FYE/GS/Target. Thanks OP for pointing out this deal!

That's been my experience with rain checks and Fry's. I'm sorry to hear your trouble but I'm not surprised. Most of the people at Fry's have little to no idea of any of their products in their section. I have found a helpful person on occasion but that is rare. Be prepared for the rain check process to take awhile as with most things at Fry's.

Which Fry's is giving you problems? My guess is that they just don't know any better.

I've never had a problem getting a rain check from Frys. Just try to snag one of the guys who is working in the aisle, don't wait til the checkout line. Then it usually won't take long.

Alright, crap.

This is an awesome deal, but being in Michigan, and not having a Fry's electronics anywhere near me- I'm not sure what would be the best way to approach this deal.

People talk about price matching at Toys R Us, how would I go about doing that though ? Also will this price be available to order AC online ?

Hey guys, I'm desperate. Can someone send me the ad though mail so I can pricematch too?

[scum1]

The ad here in Houston says avaiable Thursday but all the other store ads say available Wed. Think Frys will have it Wed?

[IXI Dragunz IXI]

Anyone like to send me ad? *cry*

[lawdood]

There were two ads for Fry's featuring Assassin's Creed in the paper this morning, one had the $39.99 price, the other listed it as $59.99, so this might be a price mistake. Either way, I'll probably just try PM'ing it at BB anyway.

[fidodido]

Ok, let me try and answer a bunch of posts at once:

Re: Super Mario Galaxy @ $39.99 in LA:

I'm willing to bet the $39.99 Super Mario Galaxy is a misprint in the LA papers. Why? Because of the "Everyday Low Price" logo next to the price. That's NOT the everyday (MSRP) price. Plus every other location has it listed as $49.99. This is a great ad to use for pricematching though.

Re: Avail. Thurs. by 6pm:

If Fry's lists Assassin's Creed as Available Thurs by 6PM, then that means they expect to receive their shipment Thursday afternoon. Even if Fry's were to receive the game on Weds, there is NO GUARANTEE that the price will be $39.99 until Thursday. I'd expect that if you find a copy on Weds., it will ring up as $59.99.

Re: Non-local Pricematching:

Pulling off a Price Match without a LOCAL ad requires a LOT of luck. First, most stores will only accept ORIGINAL ads. If you download an ad and print it, you've already cut your chance to 50%. If the store you are going to is not within a 30 minute drive of a Fry's, then I'd put your odds at about 10%.

Now, there are a lot of "non-savvy" clerks out there, especially in some of the less populated areas of the country. And there's definitely some art in guessing which checkout clerks are familiar with pricematching, but not so clueless as to require checking with a manager.

[bostonfrontier]

Do you guys think I can pricematch this on Wednesday even though the game doesn't get released from Fry's until Thursday?

[scum1]

I have 3 choices Walmart,Circuit city, Best Buy. Walmart is closest

[thepik241]

Are there any Fry's in NC?

Do you think that will work?

If there is anyone near a Fry's (none in my area, booooooo!) who want a copy of 360 Orange Box (mint and complete, barely played because it makes me sick to play it), I'd gladly do a trade for a 360 Assassin's Creed for OB.

am i able to use the ad to PM at bestbuy before thursday? since its on thursday for 39.99

[shadowheartlessx]

if fry's runs out of copies, you can get a rain check that lasts for 30 days and that allows you to buy a copy at the sale price even after the sale has ended at fry's.

[matteo]

I know this is a longshot but...

Is it possible for one of you to purchase an extra copy of AC for 39.99 and then send it to me ?

I know that I'm new here but I think some getting to know eachother VIA Aim might help ?

Here just message me on AIM, I'd be extremely grateful and I'd send 45$ back your way for sending it to me.

sell outs across all frys locations confirmed.

[roymustang]

The only problem with this deal (for me at least) is that I've never been able to leave Fry's without spending at least 100 bucks. Fry's is by far the biggest and best B&M electronics store, it makes a Best Buy store seem like a little mom and pop shop by comparison.

Oh no not at full price, they have tons of clearance stuff they don't advertise, especially in the game department. Games and accessories with 75% off or more are not an uncommon sight at Fry's.

Now, there are a lot of "non-savvy" clerks out there, especially in some of the less populated areas of the country. And there's definitely some art in guessing which checkout clerks are familiar with pricematching, but not so clueless as to require checking with a manager.

THey better have this available earlier than stated, or else I cannot jump in.

[zephie]

THey better have this available earlier than stated, or else I cannot jump in.

The ad is only valid until the end of Tuesday, but states that AC will be available on Thursday. If this ad follows suit with how they usually do business in my experience, Fry's will still honor the sale price at release. But who knows? They could claim it was a misprint and charge full price for it like with the $340 PS3.

[Sonics99]

Any news if this is valid in Arizona as well? We usually get shafted on these deals just trying to find out if anyone has seen it in the AZ ad. Thanks.

[imascrub]

if one were to go pricematch at another store, which place is for the most part reputed to be the nicest in dealing with pricematches? Walmart, BestBuy, or Circuit City? My gut tells me it would be Walmart, but honestly I don't shop there often so I don't know. I haven't had a problem with pricematches with bestbuy (only done one before), and have had 1 problem with CC (also only done one before).

Yep. I picked up the paper this morning and the same ad is on the back of the business section. $39.99 for both versions.

I don't think any one chain stands above the others in terms of PM courtesy, it depends more on the CSR who's doing the PM. The Best Buy closest to me is great with PMing, polite/eager staff with no PM problems at all. But the second closest Best Buy has a staff of jerks with a seemingly sexist supervisor. I'm sure this kind of variance happens everywhere there are chain stores.

[kylerg]

I will be calling them Wednesday and Thursday mornings and praying.

i always try CC unless i have best buy reward certs....cc gives you the competitor's price + 10% of the difference...

[A Yellow Fellow]

3 questions


1. Does anyone know if this is also for the Fry's in Illinois???

2. Can I print out the add for a fry's in another state and have it priced matched???

3. What is the best place to price match???

[imascrub]

i always try CC unless i have best buy reward certs....cc gives you the competitor's price + 10% of the difference...

hmm I was just about to ask that, since I just remembered I have a $5 reward zone certificate. Can I do pricematch and still use the RZ cert. on top of that?

The bestbuy pricematching is mildly retarded, since they do give 110% difference, just not up front if you tell them about it during purchase (they will only give 100%). The way to get the 110% difference is to purchase, then go back in and ask for pricematch/store price guarantee. I didn't know that the first time and walked away with some blurays pricematched to Fry's price. I told my friend about BB's policy and he told me he's done that before and just bought something, then walked right back in to pricematch it lol.

[THECLAW92]

Thats the olny place i never went to. But i wonder it i could order it online?

You have to pricematch first then use the certs.

1. yes

2. i'm sure others have tried for other deals

3. circuit city?

[imascrub]

hm so should i just pricematch while ringing up (100% of the diff) + the RZ cert? Or could I pull off buying full price one day, then going in another day and getting the 100% price match and then + the RZ cert?

Though it's only like a $2 diff I probably shouldn't even bother taking the time lol

[Furashu]

just to confirm again... ill be ableo get this game on WED?

[sasukekun]

In store Thursday @ Frys just like the ad says. Although other retailers (BestBuy,CC) said they will have it wednesday.

[roymustang]

Anybody know if this deal is going on at the Fry's in Las Vegas?

[jiggyteddy]

no frys here in nyc.

[grap3fruitman]

Edit: NM.

[Tom Ato]

Confirmed for Sacramento. I'll prolly PM it a BB and get it on Wednesday!

[josh_animebum]

Confirmed for Indy asw well. SMG is listed at $49.99 though.

RD

Hmm...that's good news and maybe if I'm super lucky they may actually have some of the PS3 version in stock Friday morning.

If not, does Fry's usually have a printed copy of the ad in their store that I might be able to grab and get pricematched elsewhere?

[JoeDawg]

Can anyone get a scan of the Atlanta ad? Circuit City can be a pain in the ass with price-matching.

[Soodmeg]

Damn it sucks that there is no frys here in michigan.

[vlv723]

I can't wait until this Thursday. Gonna try picking it up at City of Industry.

Too bad I'm working a late shift...so I got to coordinate. Break at 5p, try to get back within an hour (since the 60 east is really gridlocked during rush hour)

If not, I know they're cool handing out rainchecks.

[rofflesaurus]

Anyone know if I can go to a Best Buy this Friday and still get it price-matched?

Also, is there any way to get a better price on the LE?

[Cyb3-rr]

Glad to finally get a confirmation for AZ. Which paper was this in? Would it still be available today, so I could use it for PM if need be?

Of course, whether or not I try pricematching depends on which stores get stock first. ;)

Well if you're concerned about location, that shouldn't be an issue since the ads in OC Register and LA Times are identical. Whether your local Best Buy accepts a printed ad versus one clipped from actual newspaper is more YMMV. I think there's a good chance it will work.

[United_Korea]

Only for stores that allow price matching. This is typcially Circuit City and Best Buy.

Take the item and the ad to the customer service area and politely inform them that you have a price match...it's that simple.

This is a really great price and all for this new game but has anyone found out if this game is gonna be a good game? It has potential but i havent seen any reviews, and the videos ive seen look good but combat looks weak. Only reason im asking is cuz for me its either this or mass effect, and dont wanna end up with the lesser of 2 games.

Check gamerankings.com tomorrow, since reviews should be out then. Game Informer and Gamepro already gave it good reviews (90%+), but I don't trust them so I'd wait a couple days too.

[rbailey07]

Check out Metacritic.com The game has already posted as having highly positive reviews. And as expected the review will be up on IGN.com tomorrow. Personally at 40 bucks I think thats perfect price point so I'd check it out but of course decide first if its really the game u want. With so many other titles coming out wallets are guaranteed to be empty be4 this holiday season is over.

[Malkovich]

Has there been a Houston confirmation?

[slewis7]

Has there been a Houston confirmation?

Yes, the Houston Chronicle had this in Sunday's Fry's ad. However, the ad stated prices good through this Tuesday, with the game expected by Thursday at 6PM?!

[egonpax]

For those who PM at Best Buy and only get 100% of the difference, all you have to do right after checking out is walk over to their customer service and get the 110% of the difference back. It's a small hassle.


If not, does Fry's usually have a printed copy of the ad in their store that I might be able to grab and get pricematched elsewhere?

Unfortunately from what I've seen at 3 different Fry's locations are that they never have any ads just laying around for customers to pick up. They just have them posted somewhere for everyone to look at.

This is a really great price and all for this new game but has anyone found out if this game is gonna be a good game?

Mass Effect does look great, but like others have said I would start looking to reviews.
This game got a 37/40 review score from the Japanese gaming magazine "Famitsu," who are notoriously hard on games.
"As a point of reference, 37 is one point lower than Super Mario Galaxy and the same as Halo 3"

I'm in Houston too! Actually, they do this quite often with game releases as I've noticed. They will usually have ANOTHER ad on Wednesday which will have the same deal again that is usually good for Wednesday - Thursday. I think they print it in Sunday's ad just to give people a heads up or something.

[kopanda2]

anyone can find me a illinois online ad for this price? all the tribunes around here sold out lol.

Yeah posted a scan of the ad back on page 3 (the REALLY BIG one). Though its probably just saving face by saying at least thursday by 6pm. The game releases/ships tuesday, so its possible it'll be there before thursday.

For those who PM at Best Buy and only get 100% of the difference, all you have to do right after checking out is walk over to their customer service and get the 110% of the difference back. It's a small hassle.
If I were to check out first with a RZ certificate, then walk over to the customer service to get pricematch, would they take the deduction from the original price that they advertised? Or from the price after I used the RZ certificate?

Since I can't use the RZ certificate on past purchases, I would either have to pricematch 100% and use the RZ certificate on the spot, or use the RZ cert first, then attempt to get 110% (but from which pricepoint, since if they take from the post RZ cert price, I would have just been better off gettin the 100% and takin off the RZ cert amount).

Boy I'm really pushin for a couple bucks aren't I lol.
But just remember, this place ain't called cheapass gamers for nothin lol

[Tideas]

hey guys, do Best Buy and CC just price match it? Or do they pricematch and take off a certain %?

[imascrub]

I think CC will pricematch and take 10% of the difference off extra.
BB will only pricematch if you tell them about it while checking out. They will pricematch and take another 10% off of the difference if you've already bought it and go back with the lower priced ad.

[Teknoman]

Oh yeah everyone, Gametrailers.com is going to have a video review of Assassins Creed at Midnight tonight.

[Tideas]

I think CC will pricematch and take 10% of the difference off extra.
BB will only pricematch if you tell them about it while checking out. They will pricematch and take another 10% off of the difference if you've already bought it and go back with the lower priced ad.

so like, if Frys is selling for $39.99, and CC is selling it for $59.99,

it'll take 10% off the $20 price difference?

[imascrub]

yea they'll take off $22 total

[NateNinja]

anyone can find me a illinois online ad for this price? all the tribunes around here sold out lol.

Interesting. I just called my local store, and they say they only price match, not price match + 10%

wow, thanks for this thread, i pre-ordered this at gamestop, i gotta run over there and cancel it now. thanks!

[imascrub]

Interesting. I just called my local store, and they say they only price match, not price match + 10%
It's right on CC's website. It says if you've already bought it, they will refund 110% of the difference, and if you haven't bought it, they will beat their competitor's price by 10%.

http://www.circuitcity.com/rpsm/name/Low+Price+Guarantee/rpem/ccd/genericContent.do

Circuit City is proud to offer the best prices on consumer electronics. Period. Buy a product from us and if, within 30 days of your purchase, you find a local competitor offering a lower advertised price for the same in-stock item, we'll refund 110% of the difference. If you haven't yet purchased the product, we'll beat the competitor's price by 10% of the difference between our price and theirs. Either way, you win.

maybe they're tryin to pull a fast one on you on terms of technical wording. That first line says consumer electronics, but there is nowhere on that policy that excludes any other product that CC sells.

I'm not sure about the "regular" Sunday edition, but in the "bulldog" edition (the Sunday paper that's available late Saturday afternoon), it's on the back of the Metro section (section 4 - page 14).

can i find the bulldog edition anywhere? cause i dont think they'll pricematch on a printed ad >:D

[cb4774]

I doubt it, the odds of finding a Sunday newspaper that's put into circulation on a Saturday, three days after the fact...I don't like your chances. Most businesses that I know of throw out the "bulldog" editions Saturday night or Sunday morning and replace it with the "real" Sunday paper is circulated.

About the only place I can think of that might possibly have a "bulldog" edition at this point would be a library and they're not too fond of letting people borrow their newspapers.

lol so im basically screwed for a pm *sadface*

OC Register Ad for SoCal with prices:

Enlarged ad (4.56MB):
http://adv.ocregister.com/interactive-ads/ocr/images/pdf/20071112084254.pdf

Look a the bottom of the ad. Under store hours it states
"Prices Good Sun, Nov. 11, 2007 thru Tue. Nov. 13 2007.
Prices Subject to change after Tue. Nov. 13, 2007"

However, Assassin's Creed isn't supposed to be in until Thursday. Doesn't this mean that it could potentially be normal price? Or am I just reading too much into this?

[imascrub]

Well I believe the best answer to this is to just wait and see what they pull on us. Since it has not been released yet, anything can happen between now and then.

[dm877]

i'm going to BB on wednesday to PM creed. think they'll give me any trouble?

[bracex2000]

nope, price match policy will work. however, you will need the ad for prove on 9 out of 10 occasions. In fact some of my stores (CC/BB) are even more liberal and only PM ADVERTISED prices. meaning if it's cheaper in the store and it's not in the sunday circular, they don't PM it.

normally, if there isn't a local fry's, they're not considered a direct competitor. doesn't hurt to try, but don't be surprised if they say no. Wal-Mart would be the easiest tho. but they still want the ad. In fact, they'll even keep the ad.

I'm going to PM too, I hate fry's that much... lol.

[magnawiz]

Is Circuit City selling Assassin's Creed 1 day earlier than Fry's? Can we pricematch at CC on Wednesday?

[imascrub]

I wonder if they'll say "NOPE...MUST BE IN STOCK FOR US TO PRICE MATCH IT"

[ryamkajr]

Wow. So many people here are too ^$#%^$#^ lazy to read the thread, and ask the same damn questions .

For the last time:
1. Yes, the "ads" expire on Tuesday, but that is typical for Fry's ads. The price listed will be the in store price on the day it is available (as soon as Tuesday, as late as Thursday)
2. The price MAY or MAY NOT be valid after Thursday. Check the Friday ad to be sure

3. Price matching - ALWAYS hit or miss. It is going to depend on the store, the CSR , or the manager on duty whether they will let you match out of area stores to their store. YOU WILL NOT KNOW UNLESS YOU TRY. WE DO NOT KNOW HOW YOUR STORE WILL REACT.
4. Yes, Best Buy, Circuit City and WalMart match. Anything beyond that, READ #3 ABOVE.

5. Learn to read threads before asking the same damn questions over and over.

I went to fry's today, and unfortunately the one i went to had not recieved it (Indiana). I asked another employee and said that Assassin's Creed has a universal street date on the 15th. Although the website states its release for tomorrow, the Fry's near me says they wont have it or atleast sell it until Thursday.

360. Multiplatform games seem to usually be higher quality on the 360 for now. Things may change in 2008, but as it stands now, thats the case.

Well reviews for Assassin's Creed are hitting the net and the scores are spread out fairly wide. Lots of critics are giving scores in the 70s (out of 100). On Metacritic (http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/assassinscreed), current average for X360 version is 85. Hmmm, maybe I'll hold off on buying the game even though this is a great deal.

[Mars10]

Went to Fry's off of 59 in Houston. They had Super Mario Galaxy but no Assassin's Creed. Got a rain check on it though. They said they were expecting it to arrive yesterday, but i should be in the store in the next few days.

[khan6831]

I was completely discouraged to read about the gameplay quickly becoming repetitive.

[Ockto]

After reading a few reviews(damn Im not happy to hear that it turned out to be a mediocre game at best) I think Im going to pass up on it instead of goin thru the trouble of getting it priced match and what not...well unless it came with
a DVD of Jade Raymond stripping down to chest fruits and beefy taco as she
is looking at the screen right at you, telling you how much she appreciates you
buying her baby in a sexy seductive manner, then I'll budge and do so.

[Brymo]

40 dollars for a game that will be fun and appealing should be plenty.

After this week it will be hard to find for under 60 for a while.

i dont think the reviews are that bad. It seems like the reviewers were expecting Grand Theft Auto Damascus.

Don't flame me, but I am I wrong to be thinking this will be like the PC game Thief? I am going to have my new PS3 in the next few days and thought this could be a good game.

If I am better off getting other ones (Rainbox 6, etc), I would pass on this one. I do have the Palo Alto Frys nearby, so I thought this would be a steal for the price.

BestBuy Moreno Valley and Moreno Valley East both said they would pricematch the Fry's deal for AC.

[Sinistar]

Anyone know if the Phoenix area Fry's have this price?

[EwaAzn]

I checked at 2 of my local bestbuys and they said I could pricematch tomorrow :D I love living in SoCal!

Sweeet! I live in SoCal OC so it should be all good, good thing my aunt saved the OC ad :]

[Teknoman]

Hey is Circuit City supposed to get it in tomorrow as well?

[crewj]

just read a review on ign.

"The lengthy load times for levels (upwards of five minutes at some points)..."

for 40.00 it's not that bad but not 60.00. i'm still going to try for a PM tomorrow at CC and BB.

[kopanda2]

thanks tigerclaws for that picture <3

[Xerxes]

$40 at BB Pricematched.
-$10 RZ certificates
-$10 Gift Card for buying FEAR Files last week.
=$20 Assassin Creed. Not a bad deal.

[supaet]

any confirmation at norcal?

[Teknoman]

Whats funny is the reviews are really mixed, Most sites/mags say its amazing, while others (only a few) say its just a normal good game. I still say its a great purchase either way. Especially at this price.

[paz9x]

this makes me very happy i passed on vf5 last week. i wouldnt have had the money

It was in the Sunday ad in the AZ Republic :D

[floodgate]

Fry's in San Diego (Mission Valley) has the ad posted in-store, which appears to be the same as the Chicago Tribune ad posted earlier in this thread.

When I asked a guy stocking the 360 aisle if AC was in stock, he first told me that it wasn't coming out for 360, then that they wouldn't carry it, then that they won't have it until Thursday.

While he may have been an idiot, it seems like Thursday is the day for Fry's. No Crysis either. Did manage to snag a copy of Mario though.

Good luck getting your deals, guys.

[shimz]

so will a printed fry's ad work?
and will it stack with the $5 off gamepro coupon?

[anderton]

When do you experts expect the game to come in? Morning? 6PM sharp? Sometime in between? I'll try to pricematch, though I've never done it before.

Cant stack at BestBuy, can either pricematch or use a coupon.

[Relentless355]

Generally the game has gotten very positive reviews. The two so-called "negative" reviews still gave the game a solid 7/10 (and for IGN that score is "good"). They blasted it as much as they could, too, noting that the game was very repetitive.

I dunno, though. Sex is repetitive. I think they meant variety but just couldn't think of the right word, because practically every game (and every form of media, really) in existence is repetitive in some way.

Mostly I'm getting it so I can just walk around in Jerusalem in the 1100s.

But, back on topic: do I need a Frys ad on hand to pricematch at Best Buy? My BB is located almost twenty minutes away from my Frys and I don't have the ad. I guess I could search for a Sunday paper and hope to find it, but it just seems like extra work considering BB has to call them up anyway.

yes you need the physical ad in hand when pricematching anywhere, i learned that the hard way once lol.

[zephie]

That's right, always have the ad in hand when price matching. The only exception I've come across so far is the Navy Exchange and Marine Corps Exchange. A verbal price challenge is good for up to $5, anything exceeding that requires manager approval. No one abuses this system though. Ever.

[imascrub]

I was able to pricematch at BB with a scanned copy of the newspaper Fry's ad from mercurynews online ads before.

[jackoman]

they might have it listed in tomorrow's ad too.

[egonpax]

That's probably a large YMMV on that one though.

I'm about to check if it's in today's Houston Fry's ad. This means I have to stop by someone's desk who I don't really want to see... hopefully she won't be there. :\

[Vivid]

As long as you have a Fry's close by you don't even need a copy of the add, just go to buy it at you store of choice (they must have a PM policy) and say "fry's is selling it for $39.99, can you please PM." The manager will come over and call the closest fry's to verify, once verifyed they will PM...

I have never had an issue getting people to PM when its a legit PM (this is legit for me, Fry's 15miles away is selling them for $39.99)... thats not to say there have not been some YMMV PM situations but a genuine PM I've never had a problem.
