However, since these ads are not available online, I cannot confirm them.

[hiccupleftovers]

Thank you O Lord and fido! Fry's came through and has Stella Deus on sale for 39.99. Thank you fido. You are the man inded.

[Drensch]

Doh! Didn't see this thread, and just found the lotr info on dvdtalk.

I want those lotr sets, so if anyone wants to work out a deal pm me.

[Dr Mario Kart]

Got Stella Deus for 34.99 at Austin Frys.

[RegularX]

cheap price for area 51...might go check it out. thanks fido.

[Luckychunk]

Thank you Mr. Dido, if I forget to scope out my Chciago Sun-Times ad before work, I always run here to see if you have the scoop.

I was hoping for a Pac-Pix (DS) new release price reduction, but with all of the cash I've saved lately, I'm hardly complaining.

[cheapass Gundam]

Thank you Fido, my LOTR trilogy gift boxes are now complete! I also picked up PS2 LOTR: The Third Age for $19.99 and PS2 Cy Girls for $14.99 at the City of Industry store. By the time I was ready to check out, all the FOTR boxes were gone and only 1 or 2 TTT boxes were left. Tons of ROTK ones still remain though.

$35 for Forza?I may actually get it now!

[Roufuss]

lol I actually got prices comparable to Fry's this week, and even beating them by 5 dollars on Splinter Cell =D

It feels good to finally get a deal better than Fry's has it, since there isn't one around here at all, and always hearing about their super great deals.

Build more stores, Fry's :(

[SteveMcQ]

$34.99 (XBox): Forza Motorsport
This better be good at the Indy Fry's.

[mgsvr]

thanks a lot. I'm going to pick up Stella Deus in a couple more hours. Thanks to you I got my Ys VI game for 30 bucks a month ago on Fry.

[Zer0X1999]

Thanks fidodido. just picked up Stella Deus and Jade Empire: LE.

[franchise01]

Build more stores, Fry's :(

Agreed on that.... Best Buy owns the market here. And they put NOTHING on sale anymore. :(

[hiccupleftovers]

Thanks again for posting the deals fido. Wasn't able to make it out this weekend to Fry's, nor do I think I'll be able to in the upcoming days, but I did make it out to my local EB and had a first for me over there. The employee said that EBgames PMs, this I had known but only to Gamestop I had thought but since they are now one in the same I thought there would be nobody that they would PM, but he said that they do PMs and that they do PMs/he would do a PM for Fry's. :shock: The guy said all he needed was the ad. Thank goodness that I was near the library and they didn't seem to mind if I took just the ad portion from the old Friday newspaper and so I PMed Stella Deus there. Woohoo!! Am so happy right now.

[Decker]

Looks like I'm getting Forza.

[io]

I went into Fry's to check out if there was anything new clearanced ($9.90 or $4.90 - still had Constantine $9.90, Digimon $9.90, and Room Zoom $4.90). Nothing new there, but I did pick up Dark Cloud 2, which was reduced to $19.99. They took them out of the security cases and reduced the price from $29.99 to $19.99. I have been trying to get this for around $20 for a while. Toys R Us and Fry's have had it at $29.99 for so long. I had ordered it from Overstock when they had it at $22.99 with $1 shipping, but (fortunately) they were unable to fulfill that and cancelled it. Considering that just a few weeks later I got it for a flat $19.99 (no tax in OR) I'm happy. Now to play the first one...

I'm expecting Pokemon to be cheaper since Circuit City has it for $24.99. Fry's always beat their competitors in price

[Arkay Firestar]

Can someone do me a HUGE favor and post the PRINTED WEEKLY AD PAGE that has FORZA on it? I would be indebted to you! I am getting a friend back home to pricematch this for me (I'm a college student miles from anything remotely price-matching or a Fry's for that matter). I really, really need a copy of the printed ad. PLEASE? Thanks!

Can people post when they pick up Forza, please and thanks.

[BaZoOKajOe]

I have to stop by there today to pick up a few things & am going to see if they put out FORZA yet. Sometimes they put games on the shelf early at the FRY's near me (San Jose/Campbell) If not...I shall wait until manana.

[Santurio]

damn I missed this thread.
always appreciated fido!!

[SteveMcQ]

No Forza yet at the local Fry's.

[merkman]

Renton, WA Fry's said they didn't have it today (Tuesday) as well, so I'm hoping to go in after work tomorrow and get both Forza and Jade Empire LE. No idea about the availability of Jade LE though.

Maybe I should have waited and picked up National Treasure Widescreen for $1 less there tomorrow too, since I watched the Sonics tonight and didn't even have a chance to watch the movie. But I figured they might be sold out by Wednesday night at $13.99.
