Fry's Ads 9/24-28 (Def Jam, GGX2, Katamari, Promathia, Rome, and X-Men!)

[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.

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

Dej jam is bad stay far away from it

Dej jam is bad stay far away from it

How does one define bad? It's an Editor's Choice by IGN and has gotten similarly positive reviews from 8 different sites already. That would lead me to think otherwise.

[slidecage]

ai is a damn cheater they can toss u against something and just beat the hell out of you. one rd the dude grabs me tossed me into a jukebox picked me off the floor tossed me into it again and game over. another round the knock you backwards into a pool table and just kick the hell out of you


Its nothing like the first game and whats even worst no hotty pictures to buy

EDIT i got a Brand new sealed copy up on ebay for 24.99 start price

[rapsodist]

Does anyone know Katamari's price in L.A. Fry's stores? It's not listed in the L.A. ad... I probably should stop by the place anyway, they've got Spinal Tap for $6!

[cmdryuk]

Gah.... I REALLY wish we had some of these stores around here... great bargains to be had almost every ad I see posted.

[redline]

Cheapy D should have awards for Cheapest B&M and Cheapest Online stores. I bet Fry's and Outpost.com would be right up there near the top. Maybe he could even let us vote on it...

Frys and Outpost are the same company.

[TheRock88]

I'm dropping by my local Fry's later to get Katamari Damashi. Hope they have it in stock.

[SteveMcQ]

Gah! Where's my Fry's?

[fidodido]

Does anyone know Katamari's price in L.A. Fry's stores? It's not listed in the L.A. ad... I probably should stop by the place anyway, they've got Spinal Tap for $6!

The $14.99 price applies to all the stores in my post. Remember that the Orange County Register posts a larger ad than the LA Times does. Katamari is listed in their ad. Plus, the ad covers all the same stores.

[EdS25]

Here is some info for anyone in IL looking for deals at Fry's:

Katamari Damacy was NOT on sale. (Still $19.99) Battlefront, Megaman X Command Mission, etc. all seemed to be on sale as posted.

Generally, whenever you see the deals where it's 34.99,36.99 or 38.99 depending on where you live, it's gonna be the most expensive option.

They are pretty bad about posting the sales prices. Last week I was going to buy Fable but it didn't appear to be on sale. I asked, the guy confirmed it was 38.99, and about 10 people who were all looking for the same deal overheard and picked it up.

I have gotten some great deals at Fry's since it opened, but it's frustrating that they seem to be very inconsistent and/or choosy with which deals they are going to participate in.

Damn not listed in the LA ad, I was hoping to get it pricematched to a closer store for cheaper, guess I'll have to make a trip to Fry's... only 15 minutes away, not too bad.

Yeah, I'm sure it's a typo, but, anyway Katamari Damashi is a really Japanese-esque game where you roll trash in a giant ball and roll it around, trying to collect all the trash. It's a fun game, very cool style.

[ryosnk]

What days do fry's ad come out in the newspaper?

[ChronoBreak]

Mmm some good deals todays! Think I might have to PM Rome: Total War and possible F-Zero. Still no UT 2004 Editors Edition though :cry:

Thanks for posting Fidodido!!

[funjoe]

What days do fry's ad come out in the newspaper?

In L.A., they are in the Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday papers. Friday is the only day they have the full pull-out ad, the other days they have a full one page ad usually on the back page of the Sports or Business section.

Thanks. And you used your first post on me, thanks again.

Thanks for the info, I had no idea that the O.C. Register gets a larger ad! Unfortunately, as msdmoney said, I'd actually have to drive all the way over to Fry's (30 minutes away) instead of pricematching at a closer competitor. I'll probably just use a GGC at BB instead.

[Killdozer]

Has anyone ever had their GameStop or EB price match?
Every time I try they always deny me.

[PKRipp3r]

katamari is def 14.99 in LA, I just bought that and Gungrave OD.

woot

[TheRock88]

Man, I just stopped by my local Fry's and they already sold out of Katamari. I was curious so I asked the clerk how long did it take them to sell out and he told me that from the time they opened, it took 4 hours before they ran out. I also asked him if any other Fry's around the area has it and he says that ALL of them are sold out too! At least the guy gave me a raincheck though.

[fidodido]

Saturday update:

$14.99 (XBox): Guilty Gear X2 #Reload

$39.99 (SJ): Monster Hunter (PS2), X-Men Legends (PS2/XBox)

Ok, folks, that's it. See you in a couple of weeks. You probably won't even need me by then. ;)

[pimp tyranny]

yeah, i wish i had a fry's too.

[pimp tyranny]

cool avatar rapsodist, from one of my favorite games.

[BULL_Ship]

ai is a damn cheater they can toss u against something and just beat the hell out of you. one rd the dude grabs me tossed me into a jukebox picked me off the floor tossed me into it again and game over. another round the knock you backwards into a pool table and just kick the hell out of you


Its nothing like the first game and whats even worst no hotty pictures to buy

EDIT i got a Brand new sealed copy up on ebay for 24.99 start price


its brand new and sealed even though you played it and said it sucked?

[VidPower]

Can any Vegas CAGers confirm the $14.99 price on Katamari Damashi, and whether they saw any copies left?

[Scorch]

Has anyone ever had their GameStop or EB price match?
Every time I try they always deny me.

EB no longer price matches.

I have the exact same complaint with Def Jam Fight for NY. The more relentless opponents will just start grabbing you, throwing you down, picking you up, throwing you down, into the wall, etc. You can go 2/3 of a fight without the game letting you throw a punch.

As for the guy above asking about Katamari Damacy (that IS the correct spelling, despite many places listing it as Damashi), I MUST recommend this game. It's an absolute blast to play. It's sort of hard to explain though, so I recommend you read the GameSpot review.

[JohnnyDrama]

Dej jam is bad stay far away from it

I bought DJ from the EAStore, and so far it's awesome. The only people that have said it's bad most of the time also say that it's too damn hard. Just practice and eventually you'll get the hang of it.

[v00d00ppl]

what's up with Colin Macrae 2005?

will it be on sale on tuesday?

dream but dont sleep

[EdS25]
