Fry's Ads 9/10-14 (Yes, Burnout 3, Fable, Silent Hill 4, and Sims 2!)

[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.

[Birakon]

kingdom under fire isnt out till the 21st

[Espanto]

Nice price on Burnout 3, and KUF (if it didn't get pushed back).

[C_A]

I told my GF I'd get her Silent Hill 4 when it went on sale. Oh well, here I come already. :-(

[hiccupleftovers]

I found the LV stuff, should I post it in here or make it its own separate thred?

[Murcielago77]

damn i was hoping for something for the sims 2

[ex0]

Nice deal on MGS:TTS if you don't have it

[Sarang01]

When does SH4 come out on PC? I don't see it up on Frye's site.

[Dead of Knight]

BUY ARC THE LAD IMMEDIATELY.

That is all.

[Mr Peanut]

I found the LV stuff, should I post it in here or make it its own separate thred?

Just post it here. I'd like to see if Burnout is on sale over here in Vegas. I don't have the newspaper with me today.

[fidodido]

When does SH4 come out on PC? I don't see it up on Frye's site.

It came out yesterday. It was a simultaneous release on PC/PS2/Xbox.

[DisturbedZen]

Sexy Burnout 3... The ad doesnt seem to have KUF... Where do you see that?

[Darkshadow]

I was able to get Burnout 3 at EB for $1.07.

[Murcielago77]

^^^^shut the hell up dude you traded crap in for that big deal. why do post that every damn place you see a burnout 3 deal.

[valkyriesound]

Does the AD mention when Kingdom under Fire will be avaiable?

Thanks!

[FriskyTanuki]

I'm gonna go to Fry's tomorrow and use my credit to get B3, been hankering for the full version since I played that sweet, addictive vial of demo.

[fidodido]

Sexy Burnout 3... The ad doesnt seem to have KUF... Where do you see that?

OC Register ad listed it. The OC Register gets a better Friday ad than the LA Times does.

[fidodido]

Does the AD mention when Kingdom under Fire will be avaiable?

No, which would imply that it already is. However, it is known that KuF is still in the approval process by Microsoft, so will not likely be available until 9/21. I think Fry's simply created their ad in advance of this development. KuF was supposed to be released on 9/7 originally.

Thanks!

BTW: If anyone is at a Frys and sees that KUF IS out please let us know!
I SO want that game!

[Geohound Omega]

BUY ARC THE LAD IMMEDIATELY.

That is all.

I'd definitely like to.

Shame Fry's doesn't have some sort of online ad, as I'd love to print out what I need to price match at a nearby CC or BB.

[VidPower]

Just post it here. I'd like to see if Burnout is on sale over here in Vegas. I don't have the newspaper with me today.
Yeah, it is definitely on sale here in Vegas. Picked me up a copy today cause all you CAGers have been raving about it. :)

[KingDox]

I got mine at frys in socal for 35. It was the last of 2 copies they had on the floor. I had to ask for it from the cage of games. Maybe they have more in the back but I was glad to get mine.

Yeah, same here, just picked it up today. Although in the ad it just says "low price guarantee" (thus preventing a price match) they do have it at $34.99 like the other Fry's. So go pick it up, Peanut, far and away the cheapest you'll get it for awhile :)

[fidodido]

Saturday additions for SJ only (No video game listings in other ads):

$9.99 (PS2): Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness

$14.99 (PS2): Van Helsing

$19.99 (PC): Ground Control II

[Arkay Firestar]

Guys, if your Fry's runs out, just go to circuit city and they'll beat the difference by 110 percent, which means you get 1.50 off.

Or do that Bestbuy GGC thing. But don't fret if you can't find burnout 3...there are other ways to take advantage of that price.

PMing at Circuit City is slightly YMMV. They can deny you if they know if Fry's is Out of Stock. (Same applies to PMing anywhere.) Though in this case, the YMMV is in your favor unless several people have done it before you.

And the BB GGC, forget it. The price is $49.99 at BB. With the GGC, you've only brought it down to $44.99. That isn't even close.

[SteveMcQ]

Open up a Fry's here. Please.

[Mr Peanut]

Thanks for the heads up over here in Vegas. The "low price guarantee" confused me a bit.

Anyway, Burnout 3, here I come!

[v00d00ppl]

any deals on guilty gear xx2 for xbox?

[regisphilbi0]

Anybody have a link to the ad to PM at CC or BB? Or does anyone know if this works? I WANT BURNOUT 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[minimus177]

Yup, I just got the PM to work at BB (Westminster, CA; though I think I may have grabbed the last copy from there). They forgot the 110% difference though, so it was matched straight up to 34.99. Shrug, I lose out on a buck fifty. Otherwise there was no hassle at the register concerning the ambiguity of the "Low Price Guarantee" arrow in the Fry's ad.

Sorry I didn't post the vegas deals yesterday, but they're basically the exact same thing as fidodido posted.

[Mishimaryu]

damn I'm waiting for a SF anniverssary collection deal.....

[hiccupleftovers]

damn I'm waiting for a SF anniverssary collection deal.....

I believe they had it last week for $24.99. You could have PMed it at BB and used a GGC.

[Will]

No go in Austin Tx frys for arc the lad and air force delta, both rang up 19.95.

[flybrione]

I just picked up Burnout 2 and Pokemon Firered from best buy with a price match no hassles whatsoever! I love Fry's and I never even gone to there store once. I always pricematch them at Best Buy. I have a rewards zone memebership so I get points everytime!

New Jersey needs to get a Fry's NOW

[nikkai]

Think of it this way:

When your area does get it's first fry's it'll get deals that none of the fry's get...

*cough SJ cough*

Oh well - Vegas has been treating me pretty well.

Hey hiccupleftovers, since you're in Vegas which BB lets you do the PM + GGC? Haven't tried it here yet since I just moved.

[Ondo]

Shame Fry's doesn't have some sort of online ad, as I'd love to print out what I need to price match at a nearby CC or BB.

Many newspapers have their ads online. To get to the LA Times Fry's ad go to http://latimes.p2ionline.com/shoppingchannel/rop/ then click on the advertisers button (the left bar this is in loads slowly for me). then the DEF link, then Fry's and it'll show the ad.

The Orange County Register has their ads at http://ads.myoc.com/onlineads/ocr/index.jsp?catId=1 - scroll down and click Fry's to see theirs.

[NintendoFanGirl]

In looking at the Fry's ad for WA, it doesn't really say that Sims 2 will be $36.99. It just says "low price guarantee". Can anyone confirm this is the price because I'm pretty sure if I take that ad into Circuit City or Best Buy they will argue with me.

[Darkshadow]

^^^^shut the hell up dude you traded crap in for that big deal. why do post that every damn place you see a burnout 3 deal.

Screw you asshole. This whole place is about deals on games, I'm just posting what I got the game for. Ass.

Look closer at the ad. Typically whenever you see "Low Price Guarantee," you'll find that it's inside of an arrow. Where that arrow points is the price.

They do it to stop you from Pricematching and most likely, because the manufacturer has some sort of deal in place which prevents them from advertising too low of a price.. Though you can get away with PMing these ads sometimes, it's YMMV. Give it a shot, and if the clerk gives you a hard time, tell them to call the Fry's to confirm the price.

Darkshadow, you shouldn't have posted about your Burnout 3 deal here. 1) It has nothing to do with Fry's or PMing a Fry's ad and 2) If your deal is not reproducable by anyone else, then it's not really a deal at all...it's just bragging.

Murcielago77, you need to learn to let these things go. ;)

Either way, let's leave it at that and stick to the topic at hand.

Got ads for the OR location on Friday and Monday. I really want to have an ad with Fable in it so I can try and get TRU to PM my pre-order. I know it's an EXTREME long-shot, but I'm going to try! I just love the Frys ads because I'm always looking for something good. Plus I get an employee discount there because I know someone who works there.

[darekIsAwesome]

kool. Thanks for posting the deal

[JunkyardGod]

they better have a deal on Gradius V, too.

[Edge]

Anyone who doesn't pick up the Fallout/Fallout 2 pack for $5 doesn't deserve to call themselves gamers. Ok, maybe that was too harsh...but what I'm trying to say is that they're great games that should definatly be picked up for that price. There, that sound a little better?

And I wonder if Fry's is giving rainchecks for Kingdom Under Fire, I know some people had problems getting rainchecks from Target for it (I got one, though). BTW, is it official now that it's coming out on the 21st? Supposedly testing was supposed to conclude yesterday...if it didn't pass then wouldn't sites have pushed back the release date for it?

[moe11888]

If I want to go to fry's and get The Sims 2 for 35 dollars on friday, will it still be 35 dollars?

[fidodido]

If I want to go to fry's and get The Sims 2 for 35 dollars on friday, will it still be 35 dollars?

My word is no guarantee. But it is a big enough title that I'd say you'd have a pretty good shot...probably 80% chance it will appear in the Friday ad as well.

*cough SJ cough*

Oh well - Vegas has been treating me pretty well.

Hey hiccupleftovers, since you're in Vegas which BB lets you do the PM + GGC? Haven't tried it here yet since I just moved.

You should try it around at some BBs. It just depends on who's working there or what type of a mood the person working their customer (can't think of the name) is in. When you do come there to have them PM it, be sure though to have the GGC already charged and have the coupon out of the case. But beware of the Stepanie one, sometimes the people there aren't very willing to cooperate with you. The maryland one is alright as well.

P.S. Sorry to be bumping up an old thread.
