Fry's Ads 5/12-16 (Updated Daily)

[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, 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.

If anyone knows of a website to view any further ads, please let me know.

Unless otherwise indicated, items below are listed in all six (DFW, HOU, IL, LA, SJ, and WA) ads.

Ad updates:
DFW, HOU, IL, LA, WA: Fri-Mon, Weds
SJ: Everyday

(Please note that the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram website seems to have ceased posting Fry's ads online.)

X3 coming out for the 360?

[alpha001]

Does anyone know how strict Fry's Electronics will follow this schedule and whether or not there will be a good amount of copies available? I never bought games exactly on launch, this game will be the exception. I won't be able to make it to Fry's by 4PM, more like 6-7PM, and considering this is a game of high caliber, I'm afraid gamers or perhaps resellers will eat it up. Thanks a lot.

I have been burned by this before; the 4pm time is a very broad estimation. Sometimes they'll get stuff in a day early; other times, it won't be delivered until up to two days later. Your best bet would be to get an ad, and then if they're sold out, price match it somewhere else.

X3 coming out for the 360?

pretty sure it is. Nice price for NSMB next week. I may just PM it or pick it up from them. Great getting out of school present I guess. And damn my will power as a CAG is going to crumble one of these days and I'm just going to get a PSP.

Usually with big games like this, as it is Fry's of course, they stock pile large large quantities, but just like you and your grandmother, everybody shops there so they literally sell out within hours.

This should definately answer your question:

http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/profile.aspx?pp=0&GamerTag=Blakk+Robb

That guy already has it, check the achievements :D

[PikaPichu]

Is $220 for the PSP value pack a good deal? (versus the $160 core pack from Circuit City) I don't think the case, memory stick, headphones and remote would justify the price difference. I guess I answered my own question.

Are there any good deals on games for the PSP. I heard that Lumines and some other games dropped down to $20. I've been considering Initial D: Street Stage (import) that Fry's carries for $50. Has anyone here played it before?

Some do, some don't. That's my experience with the SoCal stores around me anyway.
