[fidodido]

Here's the entertainment software listings from the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), Houston (HOU), Chicago (IL), 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. - Austin, Houston, Sacramento, San Diego, AZ, GA, IN, NV, OR), but it only appeared in the SJ ad. However, since these ads are not available online, I cannot confirm them.

$15 for MGS: Twin Snakes is tempting. Might have to run by CC with the ad for a price match.

[JEKKI]

[hiccupleftovers]

What an awesome price on Zookeeper for DS. I don't own a DS yet, but I'm definitely picking that one up for when I have one. Nothing else to note really, hopefully this weekend it'll perk up. Thanks again fido.

I saw the ad in Today's OC Register for Xenosaga 2 at the $36.99 price.

[buster90]

Lame nothing on UMD movies or ATV Offroad Fury.

[RegularX]

[hiccupleftovers]

I just want to confirm that all of the prices shown are the sme at the Vegas Fry's since I got the paper today.

[jacobv]

I'm sort of glad Zoo Keeper is not $15 in Houston. I was about to kick myself because I bought it at Gamestop for $20 last week. I do wish Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes was $15 however.

[amaguri]

the $14.99 zoo keeper is available in so cal Fry's as well

[VegasRobb]

I'm sort of glad Zoo Keeper is not $15 in Houston. I was about to kick myself because I bought it at Gamestop for $20 last week. I do wish Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes was $15 however.

Doesn't Gamestop match the difference if you bring in the ad and your receipt?

[VegasRobb]

Anyone happen to take a look and see if Gary Grigsby's World at War is still $24.99?

Thanks

No, Fry's sale prices are rather whimsical and are only good for the dates listed. If you wait, you will miss them.

[jacobv]

I'm going today and getting MGS:TS and maybe zoo keeper.
Is Polarium worth getting?

[jacobv]

I just picked up MGS:TS.

I don't know much about Polarium. Zoo Keeper is a good handheld game though. It's worth $20 to me.

[JEKKI]

I saw the ad in Today's OC Register for Xenosaga 2 at the $36.99 price.

Aww crap...so Fry's does have Obscure. Haven't seen it there before and now they'll be having it for 14.99 when I can't even get there....Aaarrrrgghhgh

[Santurio]

Is Odscure good? At this price I'll get it but I was just wondering how good it is.

[TheRock88]

It's pretty good for a budget title. Kinda like a poor man's Silent Hill/Resident Evil. I enjoyed it but it's kinda short. I was surprised too that Fry's is elling Obscure, I thought EB and Gamestop only sold them. They also had a couple of Spikeouts too.

Nice price on PN03 though, might have to stop by and pick it up.

[Santurio]

bought Obscure and MG:Twin Snakes which is still on sale for 15 until the 26th.

[SteveMcQ]

OT--JEKKI...that's one of the cutest babies I have ever seen.

Thanks for the post as always. I can't believe we have a Fry's now.

[fidodido]

Tuesday addition for SJ:

$13.99: Far Cry (PC), Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events

[hiccupleftovers]

For that price I would definitely pick up Far Cry. I'm trying to resist going since I have so much work to do, but it's becoming to difficult. Does anyone know what Far Cry takes to run (i.e. what computer specs) ?

$13.99 Blade Trinity for me, thank you very much!

There's also a 12-in-1 USB media card reader for $6.97 that's looking pretty good to me as well. Thanks Fido!
