Fry's Ads 9/17-21

[fidodido]

Here's the video game listings from the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), Los Angeles/Orange County (LA), San Jose/Silicon Valley (SJ), and Washington state (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, Sacramento, 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 Seattle 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.

Gradius V here I come!

Thanks for the updates.

[redline]

Thanks Fido. You may want to update:

Phantasy Star Online I & II Plus

The DFW ad has the Plus version in the ad, not sure about the other locations.

[roguejedi5]

Wow! Star Wars for only$37! that is the cheapest price I heard of so far. I just hoping to see the other stores are giving out any free stuff with it. In the meantime I might consider Call of Duty.

[slidecage]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh Why cant we have one here i want PS online 1-2 for 15 bucks

[pfunkpearl]

glad I grabbed fable yesterday for 36.99 before it went up to 38.99...how odd.

[TheRock88]

Wow, thats the best deal for the SW set that I've seen so far. Definately gotta stop by on Tuesday to get it.

[fidodido]

San Jose updated. Good catch on that Plus, redline. I thought that was just a typo. ;)

The best deal I've seen so far is here:

I post this for Every Fry's ad thread:

Open up a Fry's here, please!

It rang up at 36.99 when I picked it up early today at the Manhattan Beach store (LA area).

I'd rather dish out the $37 now and have that as my final price rather than $50 and then getting $15 back after the longwinded rebate process. Guess I'm more of a lazyass than a cheapass... :lol:

[gokou36]

Can someone give me some infos on Phantasy Star Online 1&2? Is there LAN play? How is the online play like, how many players on the server? Can you steal people's mobs and such like other MMORPGS? Is this like Diablo where you can play offline then play that character you built onilne?

[greyzieoriental]

so is the LA ads similar to the Vegas ads?

[buster90]

No deals on Guilty Gear or Sly Copper 2???? Pffffttt.......

[beerguy961]

I'd rather get Star Wars in person and make sure it's in good condition. $37 sounds good, but I'll probably have Circuit City price match.

[fidodido]

so is the LA ads similar to the Vegas ads?

Someone posted once (I forget if it was here or on my other board) that they believed that the Vegas sale prices were consistent with San Jose's.

I know that they are basically the same thing. I have foudn that the LV ads are actually a mix of all of the ads from Texas, Washington, and California.

[hiccupleftovers]

Wow, some great stuff thsi week. Phantasy online collection 1&2. I thought this game had gone out of production and was a rarity on the Gamecube? I fanyone knows, please post it. OH and Gradius v for that price isn't too bad as well. So many games, not enough hours nor money.

[Noodle Pirate!]

Anyone know which version of UT 2004 it is? Theres like 3 of them.

[kraid]

Anyone know how much Star Wars is going for at Best Buy? If it's more than what Fry's will have it for then I'll just have to price match.

[fidodido]

Anyone know which version of UT 2004 it is? Theres like 3 of them.

It's the straight UT 2004 version, not the Director's or the Editor's Choice versions. However, it is available in your choice of a DVD or multiple CDs.

[droptopmetro]

Noodle Pirate! is that a Shaun of the dead avatar?

[epobirs]

What is with the gouging of us Angelenos?

[Kaijufan]

Nice deal on Star Wars. I wish I lived by a Frys.

[DisturbedZen]

So wait, why did they raise the price on fable?

[tenzor]

I am getting Star Wars on Tuesday for sure. I wonder how much Star Wars Battlefront and Def Jam Fight for NY are goign to be priced at since those come out on tuesday as well, but $36.99 on the Trilogy is a steal.

[Noodle Pirate!]

Yep. I'm incredibly uncreative and unable to make my own so i ripped it off from shaunsquad.com :wink:

Thanks for the clarification on the version of UT. I dunno why they feel the need to come out with so many dif versions.
