Fry's Ads 9/8-9

[fidodido]

Here's the video game software listings from the DFW, LA, SJ, and WA Fry's Ad(s). These prices are valid only for the dates listed in the subject line.

The items listed below are as they appear in the Fry's Ads. If an item is listed as "SJ only", for example, it could still be on sale at other locations (i.e. - San Diego, Sacremento, Austin, Houston, NV, AZ, OR, IL, GA), but it only appeared in the SJ ad. We have noticed that the Dallas Morning News and SJ Mercury News often run very similar ads. Also, the Chicago ads are often similar to the LA Times ads. However, since these ads are not available online, I cannot confirm them.

If anyone knows of a website to view any further ads, please let me know.

Unless otherwise indicated, items below are listed in all four (DFW, LA, SJ, and WA) ads.

Ad updates:
DFW, LA, WA: Fri-Mon, Weds
SJ: Everyday

No ad on DFW Star Telegram website.

[GHardin]

I want Burnout 3, i hope it is on sale in Dallas!!

No kidding, I want to get this sucker soon!

[Wank8734]

Yeah im in arizona and hoping my frys also has it for 35, but I just called and the lady was like "we cant disclose prices before release". And im thinking "whatever thats why things are advertised huh?" So now I just gotta FIND their ad and find out. I go to school right by the frys so mabye ill drop by tonite and check (i have physics tonite).

[LinkinPrime]

Damn, I hope Burnout 3 is on the Friday Sale her in SoCal

[Murcielago77]

what newspaper has this ad in it?(bay area if possible)

[nikkai]

Freaking no love to Vegas... *sigh*

[Murcielago77]

I need to know what newspaper! i want to price match these

[GHardin]

I want Burnout 3, i hope it is on sale in Dallas!!
Of course, all the Dallas paper advertised today was Pokemon and Silent Hill 4 for the PC. Here's hoping Friday brings the deals! (they usually do, but I digress)

[Trakan]

Damn, Fry's has always has some pretty good deals.

[Vajra]

If someone could confirm the prices for Burnout and SH4 tomorrow in Austin, that would be completely awesome.

[Darkshadow]

You live in Austin too eh? Which part?

[muncle]

it was so cool, on labor day weekend i got NFL 2K5 and NHL 2K5 for 13.99 each at FRY's...not to stay off topic, but it was cool

[Vajra]

North Austin, near Burnet and 183.. Alot closer to the Best Buy, but then generally suck compared to Fry's being just a bit closer.

I really wish Fry's posted their Austin ad online. I can find for all the other Texas locations, but not Austin.

[sj41]

I hope my GameRush hasn't gotten them in yet so I can preorder it. Either that or I'll wait for a price drop.

[KingDox]

Well I hope that the burnout 3 price is good in SoCal. I'm going tomarow to check it out. Usually frys says they will have games after 4. So I'll go after 4 and see what they have. Some times they run game deals and don't advertise them, I saw the regular xbox RB6 on sale for like 16 bucks like 2 weeks ago.

[DisturbedZen]

HOT SEX! Burnout 3!!! I love you, =D

EDIT: SHIT only SJ?? Bummer...

[Murcielago77]

cmon i need to know what newspaper has the AD in it

[fidodido]

what newspaper has this ad in it?(bay area if possible)

The only ad that I have access to online is the San Jose Mercury News.

The price on Burnout 3 appeared in today's edition and in Sunday's ad.

[uuaww]

so is SJ basically the same for all bay area stores? im in the east bay and i was wondering. they seem similar but im not positive

[bigsyxxy]

The print ads are everyday in the San Jose Mercury News.

[CD]

Freaking no love to Vegas... *sigh*

Don't worry, man, the RJ usually doesn't have a Fry's ad on Wenesday, their big weekly one is usually in the Thursday issue and I'd be amazed if SH4 and Burnout 3 weren't on sale here locally :)

[Luckychunk]

Does anyone know if the IL Fry's has Burnout 3 in stock yet, and if it is 34.99? I'd like to go there tonight and get Burnout 3 and Silent Hill 4 and I don't want to waste the gas (about 25 min. away for me).

I called last night, but the clerk did not know if the stock came in yet.

[mmn]

I called last night, but the clerk did not know if the stock came in yet.

Call again.

[fidodido]

Thursday update for SJ:

$12.99 (PC): Vault of Darkness

[fidodido]

so is SJ basically the same for all bay area stores? im in the east bay and i was wondering. they seem similar but im not positive

The SJ ads are good at 6 locations: Campbell, Concord, Fremont, Palo Alto, San Jose, and Sunnyvale.

Technically, I know of another newspaper in the Bay Area which carries Fry's Ads online (and in print): The Contra Costa Times. But their ad is usually one page, even on Fridays.

[FriskyTanuki]

Yeah im in arizona and hoping my frys also has it for 35, but I just called and the lady was like "we cant disclose prices before release". And im thinking "whatever thats why things are advertised huh?" So now I just gotta FIND their ad and find out. I go to school right by the frys so mabye ill drop by tonite and check (i have physics tonite).

By your description, you sound like you go to UAT, so do I. I'm hoping they have it for sale, too.

[thelwig14]

I called the Austin store and they are $49.99. They might be the sale price in Fridays ad.

[buttasuperb]

Yea hopefully Burnout 3 is only $34.99 here in Illinois. Maybe I'll go check at lunch.

[NintendoFanGirl]

Does anyone have the latest (Thur) ad for Fry's for Renton, Washington?
I'll go buy a newspaper today if Silent Hill 4 is in it and have Fred Meyer do a price match, if it is $29.99.

[uuaww]

sweet, im in concord, and contra costa times has about 1 page everday, but on fridays we get a 6 pages of its own section. plus a few more back pages

[smgmatt]

There's no burnout listed atm, but here's something that many of you may find interesting.

http://www.frys-electronics-ads.com/

It doesn't beat the newspaper reports, but it's good in addition to them. Thanks for the updates.

[Vajra]

Actually, I called the Austin store, Burnout is 49.99, SH4 is 39.99, but they hadn't received it as of 1pm.

[hiccupleftovers]

Yaeh, I'm City of Sin here too and it seems that our Fry's gets basically every ad that is on the list. I've seen that if it says that WA only or Texas only, or SJ only, that we tend to get all of them no matter if SJ gets it and Texas doesnt'. That's why I love Sin City. Oh, Burnout 3 for $35 is amazing.

Silent Hill 4 appeared only in the San Jose ad from Sunday. Renton is like the rest of us, we don't get ads on Tues. or Thurs.

Yeah, I've known about these guys for a while. The problem is they are unreliable. In general, you'll only see the Weds. and Fri. ads. Plus, trying to read that IL ad from dslreports is such a pain because of their "Barney" filter. ;)

[Luckychunk]

This just in: I called the IL store, and Burnout 3 is NOT on sale. It's 49.99. Bummer.


*crosses fingers for Friday/weekend sale*

[Darkshadow]

I traded some games in at EB and got Burnout 3 (Xbox) for a cool $1.07. :D

[KingDox]

I went to the anaheim store in SoCal and it was 50 bucks. I hope it will be on sale tomarow.

[dmanko]

anyone on the fence about burnout 3, BUY IT! Especially if you have live or have friends to play with. For $35, it is the best investment I have made in a long time. I just spend 6 hours playing with a friend straight out of the package and I didn't even bother to unlock anything yet! We've been playing with the base 3 cars on the base tracks!

I just got the ad and it is indeed $34.99 at the Downers Grove store. woot!

Dynasty Warriors 4 (PS2) 19.99

The low price guarantee points toward the $34.99, and it says in the ad $34.99 each for Burnout 3 and SRS Street Racing. So I'd disregard what the idiot on the phone told you, unless they have some really shady ad techniques...

[Esoul]

Yea I was wondering why they would put the arrow like that :arrow: . I figured the 34.99 each meant for the Xbox and the PS2 versions of SRS. Hopefully, the 34.99 is honored or enough of us can go and complain about their bad advertising and they'll give us all the 34.99 price.
