10-08-2004, 09:11 AM
This was in the LA Times. The ad is saying over 45 PS2, Xbox or GC games to choose from. That's like $13.33 a title... I'm gonna check it on my lunch hour... but WOW!!! 8)

If anyone goes today, please post what else is part of this 3 for $40 sale. I won't be able to get there until pretty late, if at all.

I wonder how they'll display all the 45 titles? A bin?

They might put them either where all of there 19.99 games and under are with special tags indicating which ones, or they may clear up a section and put them there. They could also lay them out on a table and put a sign over them

Is the deal valid at the San Jose Fry's? Also, is that the entire list or might there be more?

hiccupleftovers
10-08-2004, 11:38 AM
There's probably more since the OP said he only posted a few. Beside I don't think they owuld be able to fit it all into the ad.

I'm afraid there are no Fry's located anywhere near my closet, so you are out of luck.

Thanks hiccupleftovers. I'm definitly heading to TRU during this deal! The only thing is, I bet it'll be like the CC deal and be wiped out of all the goods the first few days. Hopefully I can get there in time.

So is it 3 for $30 or 3 for $40?

Requiem
10-08-2004, 01:10 PM
it depends on the region.

3 for $30 in the BAY AREA

3 for $40 in the LA AREA

So why are Fry's shoppers in So Cal getting screwed?

Requiem
10-08-2004, 01:23 PM
Wouldn't it be funny if you asked them to pricematch another Fry's deal up in the Bay Area? Fry's pricematching Fry's. lol

epobirs
10-08-2004, 01:24 PM
Same answer as if you asked them to price match any other store not in the same geographic region.

Just got back from IL Fry's. They have the deal, and it's 3 for $40.

One game I haven't seen on the lists that was part of the deal was Wario World (GC) (that's what I meant)

Oh and a big thanks to whoever bought the last friggin copy of Katamari Damacy this week. That was mine, you know!

Tempe , AZ Fry's is doing the deal also, however the fatass in charge of putting up the display had not even started until somebody asked about it. He only managed to put up about 5 titles in the 45 minutes I waited there for info on the unlisted games. I gave up waiting cuz I didn't feel like waiting until 5pm when he would eventually get them all out.

I can confirm that Ikaruga, Champions of norrath, and Guilty Gear x2 the new xbox one are NOT included in that deal. They still ring up at 19.99 -I got them anyway :P

Word of warning though, they didnt automatically ring up on sale at the register, and I had to remind the register girl that they were on sale and she had to adjust it.

10-08-2004, 08:59 PM
I got Animal Crossing, Mario Golf, and Pitfall.

I just went to Circuit City since they Price Match +10% of the difference so instead of getting the 3 games for 13.33 each you can get them for 12.66 each.

A little bit less that way plus CC is closer.

good idea :P !

So why are Fry's shoppers in So Cal getting screwed?

from what i saw on fatwallet, it's b/c they're having a re-grand opening in the bay area. lucky norcal fools! lmao, j/k. ;)

3 for $40 at Renton, WA

10-08-2004, 09:23 PM
The Burbank store had convenient listings of all the games in the promotion hanging in the section. I picked up:
Pitfall GC
Luigi's Mansion GC
Wario World GC
Animal Crossing GC
Gungrave Overdose PS2
Star Wars Obi-Wan Xbox

for $86 and change after sales tax. Not bad, although the Star Wars Obi-Wan has to go back since I now find I already have a copy I've never opened. D'oh!

Guess I'll have to find something else good from the list. Maybe that GBA Bubble Bobble.

the frys in vegas had those ads all over the place and a whole mountain of bongos 3rd party and a little stack of 1st party ones 30$ for both, they had like 20 kirby air rides in a bin under the GCN games and i didnt see any mario golf, i think they shouldve included simpsons hit and run in the deal, anyone that thinks frys wont have any games left 2morrow or the next day they are wrong, and if they dont Circuit city will probably price match and the one on sahara and decatur has whole stacks of kirby ari ride, animal crossin, wind waker, mario golf(just to help anyone in vegas cept for the ppl in vegas that buy all the games so no one else can)

I guess I will take th elist down to CC ad hope for the best.

The last thing I need right now is a game sale. the wife is not going to be pleased

10-09-2004, 03:55 AM
Just for clarification, is this a mix n' match deal? Like say, if I wanted a title from each of the consoles? Specifically, I'm lookin' at wind waker, arc the lad, and soul calibur

Darkflight
10-09-2004, 04:01 AM
Yup, any 3 from any system... I went all Nintendo today, but my next batch will be a mix of PS2 and GameCube.(With 1 xbox title to unbalance the flow)

I was at fountain valley at 3 the freaking cash registers crashed, so I had to come by at around 6:50 to pick up my games and all the good ones were gone. Lucky I put my games on hold.

sarkenobi
10-09-2004, 10:24 PM
I also have the same problem, ViolentLee. It took me forever to pick a 3rd game.

I went today to Wilsonville in OR. It was about noon and a lot of people about. WindWaker was GONE. Everything else had a good quanity left and was easily labeled on their racks and on a special 3 for $40 rack.

I picked up one from each console, so it's def mix and match between the three systems and GBA. I got Soul Calibur II: Players Choice version for GC ($13.32), Dead or Alive 3: Platinum Hits version for Xbox (13.32) and Burnout for PS2 ($8.32). So my total was just $34.96 with no sales tax. Burnout (the first one) was a value game at $14.99 while the other two were $19.99 each normally priced. 3 for $40 def varies based on the game's regular price.

hiccupleftovers
10-09-2004, 10:52 PM
It's definently mix and match. My first run was a mix of GBA, PS2, and GCN. I got Gungrave: Overdose, F-Zero GX, and Mega Man and Bass. Plus I picked up Guilty Gear x2# Reload while I was there. I think next time I'm going to go all GCN and pick up Pikmin (instead of renting it), Zelda Wind Waker, and Animal Crossing or Kirby Air Ride. Who Knows, maybe I'll go for all of them if I can secure funds.

I'm curious to see if anyone else can find any of the Nintendo 1st party titles on the list? My friend skipped out on day 1 and Sacramento doesn't have any, and I'm nowhere near planning to drive 15 miles out of my way to check the Fry's by me today. (Not at work, not going).

10-10-2004, 08:40 PM
OMG I HATE U ALL!!! U GUYS STOLE ALL THE GOOD GAMES. I had my brother go down to Fry's today, and he told me there was a cart with three games in it... Soul Calibur II, Metroid Prime, and some other one. Which I have already! >_< Freak dude I just wanted animal crossing, wind waker, and pikmin. :evil: MUST PUNCH SOMETHING LOL

Anyways does anyone know if they'll be getting restocks, hopefully b4 Tuesday? :cry: Otherwise I'll have to just buy them from the TRU B2G1 sale which is only like a dollar more per game. But. <---CAGER

Darkflight
10-12-2004, 01:27 AM
Heads up everyone!!

YMMV on this, but I was able to take my Fry's ad and the photocopy 'picture' list they handed out at the Fry's store and have the CC in Orange CA pricematch the titles. This saved me $2, thus saving the day for my lazy friend and get him all the First Party titles for the GC he wanted. If any of you all missed the titles at the Fry's, you may want to try your luck at CC, especially if you hold on to the Friday ad paper all weekend like I do for 'moments' like this.

If you do the math you'll see that the TRU sale applied to $20 games will deliver the same price, so you've lost nothing if you're able to get them from TRU.

GAAAAAAHH! I just got back from Fry's but all the Wind Wakers were gone! Plus, they had a sale on WD hard drives (7200rpm, 8mb buffer, 80GB) for $40 and all the hard drives were gone :cry:

I totally forgot about PMing, and the Fry's employee even printed out their list for me! Damnit! They didn't have Kirby Air Ride (Manhattan Beach, CA), so I didn't get anything. I would've gotten that and Luigi's Mansion, then another game (Maybe Ninja Assault or Tomb Raider) as a kind of throw-in. Now it's too late, as the sale ended yesterday.

My girlfriend did pick up some Panasonic Noise Cancelling headphones for $25, regular $60. They work nearly as good as my $150 Sennheiser ones.
