Fry's Ads 1/14-18

[fidodido]

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.

[tornadomann]

Another week I wish my closest frys was less than 4 hours away!

[Xevious]

Riddick is tempting. I heard the game was good.

Thanks again Fido!!

[nikkai]

Nice deal on Baten Kaitos. If I didn't have it I'd grab it at that price.

Thanks Fido!

Hmmm Rainman looks very very tempting.

[Fodder]

Is there any way to find out where the IL store prices fall in all of this? Is it the equivilent of any other region?

Thanks.

[cheapass Gundam]

Dang, just picked up Suikoden IV from EB last night for $39.99.

Oh well, at least I got the last copy of the artbook available within a 10 mile radius.

[hiccupleftovers]

Thanks again fidodido. Nothing of interest for me though. Maybe we'll see what the rest of the weekend holds.

[thirteenyahs]

man I love having a Fry's right next to my school

[epobirs]

I'm tempted to pricematch Zelda at TRU to use my $20 credit. For once the LA region gets a better deal than the others.

[FriskyTanuki]

man I love having a Fry's right next to my school

I like having Fry's on the way to school, too.

[RegularX]

i don't say it ever, but thanks for the posting man. every now and then i miss the friday SJ mecery and don't get the fry's ad, and you always come through...so thanks...

[AzianAsspicker]

$44.99 (LA) / $49.99 (DFW and SJ)
The Matrix: Ultimate Collection

I don't see it in the friday ad!

[jimbodan]

Time to PM Baten Kaitos at CC or BB!

[fidodido]

$44.99 (LA) / $49.99 (DFW and SJ)
The Matrix: Ultimate Collection

I don't see it in the friday ad!

I assume you are referring to the LA pricing. The Matrix pricing appears in the OC Register ad, but the prices are valid throughout all the LA area Fry's.

I typically merge the pricing found in both the LA Times and the OC Register to build my post. Just like the San Jose listings are composed of both the Mercury News and the Contra Costa Times. Although the odds that the CCT has something that SJMN doesn't is astronomically small...I think I've found a difference 4 times total.

Why thank you sir answered question twice on dvdtalk and on cag :P

[jimbodan]

The stars must have truely been alligned perfectly tonight, as I actually got Best Buy to price match + 110% of the difference, plus use a GGC on Baten Kaitos! I also picked up 3 of the 2005 GGC for future use.

[CouRageouS]

Nice deals, I need to get myself a ad so I can PM MGS and maybe Baten Kaitos too.
