Thanks for the post! Good to see SWAT 4 back on sale.

If anyone is able to confirm that Fry's has the DS version of Star WarsTrilogy, it would be great.

Hallelujah! Fry's picks up the slack again. $14.99 Star Ocean PS2 and they are just bound to have tons of copies because it's Fry's. No need to rush to TRU after school today nor to CC. Thanks as always fidodido. The Fry's ads always make my Friday.

Picked up Star Ocean 3 for $19.99 at L.A. Looks like it's a universal pricedrop. Bought LOTR: TTA last week for $19.99. Driving back for a $5.00 price match doesn't seem to be worth the gas and time though...

Yet again Fry's comes through for me. Came in and picked up a Star Ocean. They had five on the rungs and then a few on one of those stand things of their 19.99 and under games. While I was there I finally jumped on Star Wars Clone Wars Animated Shorts and the people that were working there were so nice that they let me jump on a ton of extra shirts, posters, and mouse pads that they had for Guild Wars.

Thanks tons for the postings fido!

One other thing that I noticed while I was there was that they had dropped the prices on a number of games. Dark Cloud 2, Metroid Fusion, and some others that I can't think of now all dropped down to 19.99 I noticed.

I went today to pick up Star Ocean, I haven't been to my local Fry's before but I gotta say its one hell of a store. They have a lot of stuff your usual retailer doesn't. I was amazed to see Neo Geo Pocket Color with 6 pack in games for $50. I don't know if thats a common thing at Fry's but I'm definately going back for it sometime.

I know that on the price list fidodido gave us, Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (XB, PS2) was $34.99.

Does anyone know if this was the actual price Fry's was selling it for?

I was looking at the ad from the newspaper and there's an arrow pointing down ("Low Price Guarantee") but no specific price. Below it is Lego Star Wars clearly marked as $34.99.

http://newspaperads.mercurynews.com/RopAds.aspx?adv=32664&ad=1686772

Just curious because it's not 100% clear (like how CC, BB or other stores don't always reveal the price) and I wonder if I pulled a quick one on BB. I ended up PM the $34.99 at BB and getting the additional 10% difference, plus the free $10 Gift Card (which I used for Star Ocean) and reward zone points.

Not exactly the greatest game but I can live with it since it came out to around $30 before tax... Oh yeah, I tried using GGC but no dice.

Yes Fry's does that all the time with their fliers where they have an arrow under item "A" pointing to a price quoted under item "B". Fry's was indeed selling Star Wars ROTS for $34.99, so no need to feel guilty. :D
