If an item is listed as "SJ only", for example, it could still be on sale at other locations (i.e. - Austin, 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.

Glad I got Kirby yesterday, $30 is still $5 less than retail though. Thanks as usual Fido.
I just noticed this about Fry's yesterday, they have a lot of porn there. I've only been to Fry's a few times when I'm in a rush, but I took a couple friends to go check it out since I've been scoring some deals there lately and while browing the DVDs we saw all those black tabs with the adult warning on them. They had like a small section in the shelves, which is BTW right next to the Horror section for some odd reason. But anyway when we were leaving I noticed this HUGE case behind the counter with tons of porn. I could tell cause I recognized the Zero Tolerance label on some of the spines. It was all the way in the back so I figure they replenish the adult DVDs when they need to on the shelves. I don't know, it just struck me as a bit weird since I've never seen so much porn in a regular retail store before. Hell even the anime section had a mini-'adult anime' section. Oh well, it just proves that Fry's really does have everything I guess.
Hilarious porn title discovered at Fry's - The Incredible Gulp.

Yaeh I've known about this for awhile. At our Fry's I always see like tons of people browsing the porn section. I guess it's more accepted to do this at Fry's than at other stores. i couldn't make it out to Fry's yesterday (no money), but my friend tells me that when he went they were sold out of Kirby: Canvas Curse and that the price was $29.99 anyway.

My friend said the Fry's prices are like $10-15 cheaper than if you'd buy the DVDs fom an adult video store or something. I said cause when you buy it at the adult video store, you're also paying for the privacy. Hell $24.99 for a single DVD is too much for me, I don't care how incredible the gulp is.

Nothing for me. Thanks anyways fido.
The porn section is right behind the anime section here. I kind of laughed when I was going through the anime shelves then noticed these shelves behind me that were covered up that contained the porn dvd's. :)

The porno section in my Fry's is right next to where the check-out line starts (aka the point in the store with the most traffic pretty much), you have to be fairly brave or shame-less to browse there.

The porn section is right near the horror section at my Fry's. Bought some actually. Got some funny looks and carded too from the clerks several times cause I still look like I'm in high school.

Yeah at my frys the porn section is by the sci-f/horror section. I do have to say the prices on porn seem pretty low at frys. They also have a large selection of adult mags. But it's not that strange, Tower Records has a porn section and that's a huge retail chain.

Nearly everything Fry's does is one up to BB. That's just my take on it though. Thanks for the update fido.

I agree. Even Fry's slogan is "Your best buys are at Fry's"

Shouldn't that be PC/Mac for WoW? Blizzard ships it on hybrid CD-ROMs.
