[roguejedi5]

Those 3 for $35 games could be good if there are some that I don't have already. But whats with the $14.99 dvds? all those should be $10 with the exception of Spanglish.

[MadChedar0]

Thanks for the post fido... those 3/$35's could be great

[Santurio]

I just saw this ad this morning. Thanks for the post fido

[stolazi]

I checked the Fry's ad for the Wilsonville, Oregon, location and can verify that the 3 for $35 sale is going on there, too.

[flybrione]

Kind of a downer that NFS DS and Cold Winter are not on sale in IL.
Got the paper this morning and was really disappointed at this weeks sales selection.

[pinoy530]

Is that supposed to be Arc the Lad Twilight of the spirits or arc the lad collection for ps1. Yeah, I know its probably the former, but one can hope.

[stolazi]

Can anyone confirm any of the other games that the 3 for $35 sale covers?

[JEKKI]

Harold & Kumar and House of Flying Daggers man!

good to add to mine dvd collection!

I jus bought bloodsport from wal mart for like $7 last week!

and Suburban Commando too!

you're a dead man Ramsees!!

huh? no wonder u guys never talk!

[Xevious]

I'm kinda curious if there is a list for all the 3 for $35 games somewhere in the ad.

[stolazi]

I'm kinda curious if there is a list for all the 3 for $35 games somewhere in the ad.

The ad I have only shows 10 of the games.

[PKRipp3r]

I'm kinda curious if there is a list for all the 3 for $35 games somewhere in the ad.

all the games that are part of the deal are listed in fido's post

[FriskyTanuki]

Damn, that's a good deal (the 3 for $35). I may have to get in on it if I can get the cash. Thanks, fido.

[Esper]

*Skips to the bank* Thanks Op.

[Professor Oreo]

all the games that are part of the deal are listed in fido's post

I only count 17 so I'm assuming that there must be a few more. I'll definitely be at Fry's tonight and I'll report back what's included if someone hasn't already done it by then. The last time Fry's had a similar deal, they had lists of the included games available in the videogames section. I'll see if i can snag one and post it.

[XboxHardcore.com]

Am I blind? I dont see LUMINES $29.99 anywhere on the ad.

http://latimes.p2ionline.com/shoppingchannel/rop/index.aspx?WebStoryID=8407008&categoryid=816

[sabin23]

Is that supposed to be Arc the Lad Twilight of the spirits or arc the lad collection for ps1. Yeah, I know its probably the former, but one can hope.

heh... you wish!

[fidodido]

Is that supposed to be Arc the Lad Twilight of the spirits or arc the lad collection for ps1. Yeah, I know its probably the former, but one can hope.

Sorry, was slightly rushed this morning. It should be Twilight of the Spirits. It has been corrected.

[fidodido]

Am I blind? I dont see LUMINES $29.99 anywhere on the ad.

http://latimes.p2ionline.com/shoppingchannel/rop/index.aspx?WebStoryID=8407008&categoryid=816

Lumines doesn't appear in the LA Times, but does appear in the OC Register ad. Sale prices in both ads are valid at all LA area Fry's.

[fidodido]

I'm kinda curious if there is a list for all the 3 for $35 games somewhere in the ad.

I have posted all of the games which appear in any of the 8 ads that I check.

No doubt there is a flyer at the Fry's which contains the full listing of the remainder of the sale games. If I swing by at lunch, I'll post it.

[CouRageouS]

That 3 for $35 is probably going to warrant a trip to Fry's. It seems like they're all older $20 and less titles. I have a feeling some stores might vary on whats 3 for $35 depending on their stock, so there might be some gems out there.

[hiccupleftovers]

Thanks for the posting fido. Most of the 3 for $35 games listed I already have. The only one I'm really looking at is Dark Cloud 2, but I'm not sure on the other two games. If any body gets the full list, please post it up.

[io]

Yeah, I just returned a Dark Cloud 2 to Fry's that I bought when it dropped from $30 to $20 since I picked it up used at GR. It is pretty scratched up though (at least the title screen and beginning of the game work - won't get around to playing it fully for several months). I'd get a new copy if I could find 2 other games to get along with it - what those other 13+ games are (besides the 17 in the OP) is key...

[bugg33]

No more Donkey Konga 2 on sale... damnit

Midnight Club II is not part of the 3 for $35 they said its a misprint. It is only good for Midnight Club I.

[stolazi]

Dark Cloud 2 was the game I went there for, too. They also had Ico, Max Payne 2 (Xbox), Onimusha 2, Conflict: Desert Storm, and some others I can't remember.

Luckily for me, they posted one of the 3 for $35 signs under Gran Tourismo 3 instead of under Grand Theft Auto 3. I took GT3 up to the front, and the hottie cashier gave me the discount on it.

I ended up with Dark Cloud 2, Onimusha 2, and Gran Tourismo 3 for $35. Not bad.

Edit: Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee was also part of the sale.

Thanks, I bought Ico at Frys a few months ago for $14.99 and just noticed the other day that they jacked it up to $19.99 - don't usually see price increases on games like that. I might check out this evening (probably going to a movie at the Regal near the Wilsonville one anyway) and see if there's anything else to make it worthwhile.

Yeah, that's the one I was at. First time I've been there. They have a pretty good selection and a lot of old games I haven't seen for a while. I was also tempted to pick up the huge strategy giode for SMT: Nocturne. Hopefully, I can find it used somewhere so that I don't have to drop $20 on it.

Thanks for the info on some of the other games. Again, I have most of those thanks to this marvelous site for even cheaper than I could get them during this sale. Others I'm not really interested in. Really a tough sale for me.

[fidodido]

Ok, I cheated. Didn't go to Fry's at lunch, but I checked FW and lo...someone posted the remaining titles there...although I question their accuracy. But only because I'm anal. ;)
Removed the "Over 30 titles" listing since this should theoretically be the full list.

[buster90]

That 3 for $35 is pretty pathetic most of those games are super old super sucky and I have seen most cheaper than $10 anyway.

[hiccupleftovers]

Wow, this 3 for $35 deal at Fry's this time isn't that great IMO. Last one was better, but oh well, others might find something. I guess I'll have to wait a little bit longer for a cheap price on Dark Cloud 2.

[PikaPichu]

I picked up Viewtiful Joe (GC), ICO (PS2) and Prince of Persia (XBox) and am loving them! :D

[AzianAsspicker]

do u guys think that the 13.99 dvd's on sale will be sold out in Southern california area? Mainly fountain valley?

[PKRipp3r]

That 3 for $35 is pretty pathetic most of those games are super old super sucky and I have seen most cheaper than $10 anyway.

in the industry this is what's known as... 'clearing out the understock'

:)

[BaZoOKajOe]

Doh! Arc The Lad is the only one I'd want to pick up in that deal...oh well. Close Combat for PC looks kind of tempting though......hmmmmmmmmmmnnn. THANX as always for the heads up. ADIOS

ICO isn't rare at Frys... haha, no game is ever rare at Frys. They have a SHITLOAD of games there.

[RandyTsai]

Decent Deal on Lumines. Went to Best Buy and got a Price Adjustment and got 11.88 Back.

[hiccupleftovers]

[fidodido]

Monday bump:

$5.99: Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Rush Hour, Thirteen Days

$19.99 (Cube): Pure Evil 2-Pack

[hiccupleftovers]

Great price on the Pure Evil Pack. I don't even think my Fry's still has any of them since last year though. Maybe they got another shimpment in or something.

[Professor Oreo]

My local Fry's just got a ton of those Resident Evil Pure Evil 2-packs as well as a few copies of RE2 and RE3. strange how this stuff pops up after being gone for so long. Thanks again for posting these deals Fido!

[greyzieoriental]

i think i need to go to frys :(

[nwaugh]

Do the REs in the Pure Evil pack have Player's Choice packaging or regular?

Edit: Answered in the deal discussion forum - Player's Choice.

[Sporadic]

Man that is a great price for Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath. If anyone could pick me up a copy I would happily pay for the game, tax, shipping plus a little extra.

[DesertEagleXIX]

Picked up the Pure Evil 2-pack today at Gamestop. Once I pricematched, I got some Resident Cheapness for $5 a disk!

They are the players choice games, BTW.

[BaZoOKajOe]

Would anybody happen to know that if their sale goes to the 17th...does FRY'S yank the sale on the 17th...or at the end of the day on the 17th?

[PikaPichu]

The 17th is the last day of the sale. On the 18th, the prices will no longer be valid and a new ad should be up. Expect a huge mega-ad for Friday though. It should be one of those things where people line up at the doors for.

[vienge]

So Tales of Symphonia was only for the 14th?

[fidodido]

So Tales of Symphonia was only for the 14th?

No, that price is good tomorrow still. But after closing on Tuesday...unless they offer it again, it's gone.

[vienge]

No, that price is good tomorrow still. But after closing on Tuesday...unless they offer it again, it's gone.

Looks like I'm taking a trip to San Jose then. THANKS!
