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.

I think frys has your name on computer of what you bought. When you make a return they scan the reciept, and it brings them to a screen that has your name. I was looking at the computer screen and I saw that it listed all my activity such as returns, exchanges and purchases. You should ask them about that

I doubt they will have it. I never use my credit card unless it's an emergency. Everything that I have bought so far in the past year have been with cash. Thanks though.

here in OC, the RE 4 ad was in the upper right corner of the page next to a ad for the village. If you don't see it, your frys ad on Wed morning when the game releases should have it.

$89.97
DDR Max: Dance Dance Revolution w/ 2 Deluxe Dance Pads


does the ad say what kind of pads are included? If it is a good pad, then that is an amazing deal, but if it is just a flimsy beatpad then forget it.

edit: OK thanks daphappaty, that is just the standard pad that you roll out, not a pvc pad

haha... the Fry's add I have says prices are valid until 1/11 and RE4 becomes available on 1/12. I'm sure they'll keep their sale on throughout the week, but it sure isn't a very reassuring ad.
