Here's the entertainment software 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.

No, I think I'm just 1 person. ;) It's the community "we." I post the ads, but "we" means the people who have contributed now and in the past.

As for newspapers, I am specifically looking for posts from the following cities:

Atlanta
Austin
Chicago - Yes, I know about DSLReports.com, but they are inconsistently reliable in their posting of the ads.
Dallas - I can see the Forth Worth ads, which are good in Dallas, but I've been told Dallas offers an 8 page ad with more listings.
Houston
Las Vegas
Phoenix
Portland
Sacramento
San Diego

I saw Driv3r for the xbox for only 15 bucks today at frys. I knew this price was in effect a while back and didn't know it was still good or how much longer it will last.
