[GizmoGC]

Top Spin for me...maybe Untold Legends

[kidicarus23]

Metroid Prime: Hunters sounds really good for $25, I still haven't picked it up yet. I might just have to. Thanks Fido!

[RiCeBo1]

Not much good deals for one day sales but thanks anyways Fido. Thing that interested me a little were MP:H, UL2, and the 2 gb memory stick.

[XboxHardcore.com]

WOW, lots of great prices there. Metroid Hunters, Top Spin 2, 2Gig Mem Stick. American Dad and Family Guy DVDs. Nice.

[Magehart]

Nintendo DS Handheld w/ Asphalt: Urban GT, Feel the Magic XX/XY, Mister Driller: Drill Spirits, Pac 'n Roll, SeaWorld: Shamu's Deep Sea Adventures, Sprung



Couldnt cram more crap games in there even if you wanted to...

[Admiral Ackbar]

For those of you in shopping distance of a Fry's...

http://www.classiccomics.net/apparel/SouthParkCartmanPissedOffShirta.JPG

I hate you guys sooooo much!

[Fire]

Feel the Magic is an awesome game and Mr Driller is very fun. I doubt you've even played them.

Oh and that American Dad may be worth a price Match somehwere. Otherwise no really off the wall deals like thought.

[Moxio]

Looks like it's time to pick up a 360.

[pinoy530]

For those of you in shopping distance of a Fry's...

http://www.classiccomics.net/apparel/SouthParkCartmanPissedOffShirta.JPG

I hate you guys sooooo much!

Well, next time you're not paying tax on an awesome outpost deal, just think of us as wearing that shirt.

[nathansu]

Top Spin is tempting....

[FFMooglestar]

Possibly in for Top Spin 2, got to read up on reviews for it first. Can anyone who owns this vouch that it is worth the $24.99 price?

[sfvenn]

I guess it's worth it. Prepare to wait a lot though. Loading screens upon loading screens detract a lot from the game, which does play pretty well. Better than the original and most other tennis games, in terms of depth and strategy. Still feel that the controls could be more responsive though. $25 seems a fair deal, though I'd wait and buy table tennis, which comes out next week w/ an msrp of $40 and looks like great fun.

[Ma12kez]

Top Spin 2 seems like a good deal. Anyone know if Circuit City or BB will PM a one-day sale?

[hiccupleftovers]

Top Spin 2 seems like a good deal. Anyone know if Circuit City or BB will PM a one-day sale?

They should since they PM their weekend and weekday deals, which are two varying ads. I don't relaly see anything too special, but that is a great price for American Dad. I'll have to try and scrounge up some cash and PM it at CC for that extra 10% off. I've been doing this for most Fry's deals lately since they aren't stingy on it like BB.

[Murcielago77]

gotta get top spin

[Medium_Pimpin]

Hmm american dad and 24 season 4 are tempting..

[Prepster]

Maybe its finally time to break down and buy a memory stick for the ol' psp....

[LinkinPrime]

There's a demo in the marketplace. Give it a shot.

[Bloodbooger]

There needs to be more Frye's, what I save on products is nowhere near gas prices.

[Admiral Ackbar]

Well, next time you're not paying tax on an awesome outpost deal, just think of us as wearing that shirt.

I live in Delaware. I don't pay tax.

EVER. :P

[FFMooglestar]

Some other decent deals I saw in the Ad this morning:

40GB Zen Xtra MP3 Player (Refurb) - $99.99
EVGA Geforce FX 5200 AGP 128MB Video Card - ($40) Free After Rebate
512MB Patriot Memory USB Flash Drive - ($15) Free After Rebate

[Medium_Pimpin]

yeah the Zen 40gb is tempting too. Also they have a Asus A8N-Sli Deluxe + AMD 64 x2 3800 combo for $379.99 after rebate($30), which looks like an good deal for in-store.

[grendel19]

Fry's is getting all my DS business... NSMB yesterday, now MP:H today.

Seems odd Crimson Tide dvd Unrated isn't the one on sale, but Con Air & Enemy of the State Unrated are?

[fidodido]

Updated with all cities except Dallas/Ft. Worth.

IMHO, other non-video games/dvd deals of note (apart from FFMooglestar's post above):

$14.99 - Antec SLK1650B Case w/ 350W PS
$14.99 - Antec SmartPower 2.0 500W PS (If any of you buy the last of these from Manhattan Beach before I get to the store...so help me, Jebus... :bomb: )
$29.99 ($59.99 - $30 MIR) - Samsung Laser Printer

[fidodido]

Seems odd Crimson Tide dvd Unrated isn't the one on sale, but Con Air & Enemy of the State Unrated are?

It is the Unrated Extended...my bad, this has been corrected. But Fry's has been using these really odd covers which aren't the same as the US-based covers, which is throwing me off.

[grendel19]

No problem, appreciate you posting Fry's ads as always :applause: .

[Fire]

What's in the rest of the ad. That mp3 player and patriot memory are great prices.

http://ads.ocregister.com/rop/web/ocr/category.php?id=17&adid=20060518094950

Not every Fry's ad is exactly the same, but they are very close.

[lorne]

The ad also shows a Soundblaster Audigy Gamer card for $17.99(refurb). I might spring for it, just hope it's not too much of a nightmare to install.

[KiySeph]

I went and picked up Metroid Prime: Hunters this morning. I was waiting for it to drop to $24.99.

Literally everyone I walked by in the store had a 2GB Memory Stick in their hands.

So if this Fry's ad is only the one day sale, does that mean we'll see the actual Friday ad on Saturday???

[FFMooglestar]

PM'd the ad at Circuit City for Top Spin 2, price went down to $23.49. Time to get my tennis on.

[equest943]

Is New SMB still $25 or do the sale price from Wednesday not apply anymore?

[rly723]

damn the closest fry's is over an hour away....with crazy gas prices in cali...the money saved would be about even...i really need a 2gb memory card for my new PSP. ive had it for several weeks and havent even played it

[Ma12kez]

Just try to PM it at your local CC, BB, or Comp USA. As long as you have the real newspaper ad, you should be fine.

[Zoglog]

too bad I moved to westwood, that's like a 1 hour drive for 10 miles haha.........
but then again I guess I'd be driving down there to redondo beach to go home if I didnt move.

[yukine]

Does anyone know if the Fry's Electronics in Arizona still has New Super Mario Bros. for $25? It's not in the newest ad, so I can't PM it. :/

[SOSTrooper]

Dont forget to pick up your free DS rumble pack when you buy Metroid Prime Hunter. $25 for both is a good deal.

[phhhh]

they have a ton of 360 premiums at the burbank fry's

I'll wait until they come out with a quieter 360...

[vivarey]

Yeah I just got back from there myself... a whole stack of them sitting in the aisle. Too bad they are sold out of Oblivion!

Battlefield 2 is still in stock.

[Fire]

That deal may still come up in the rest of the weekend ads, but as it stands now I don't think it is on sale at the moment. I'm glad I PMed it at CC and got it for about $24.50 after tax. Awesome game.

[hiccupleftovers]

Thanks you fido! I stopped by CC after school with newspaper in hand, walked in PMed me an American Dad and walked out. Was hoping for Family Guy Volume 3 also, but seems the town/the people at this store went PM crazy since they were all sold out of it. I hope they have most of the anniversary prices continue through out the weekend. That's how they had it last year. And this was the second time I had PMed a deal at CC this week. earlier I also got me a New Super Mario Bros.

[cycophuk]

I feel like I am gonna cry. I have spent the past week looking for great deals on 360 deals and when one finally comes up, I miss it. Damn that sucks. If anyone knows where I can get a deal like that some where else, i would greatly appriciate the heads up.

What kind of 360 deal are you looking for? On the console itself? You can pick it up using a 10% coupon from Overstock.com.

[cycophuk]

Well, something like this deal where you can get two games with the premium system for 50 bucks more. Most of the bundles close to that want anywhere from a hundred bcuks and up. I know neither are great games, but hell, two games for 50 bucks is a good deal to me. Sides, I could always use them as trade-ins for a game I did want, you know?

[droptopmetro]

Dont forget to pick up your free DS rumble pack when you buy Metroid Prime Hunter. $25 for both is a good deal.

I thought it was only free for pinball not hunters?

It is free with Metroid Prime Hunters, but the rumble pak is in a separate retail package with a sticker "FREE DS Rumble Pak with purchase of Metroid Prime Hunters". The standalone rumble pak has a price sticker of $19.99. So you have to take Hunters and the rumble pack and have either a salesperson ring up a 8"x11" sales slip on their computers, or take them both to cash register and point it out.

Really? The Fry's at Concord, CA was dead yesterday an hour after it was opened. The checkout line WAITED for me to walk thru, it was empty. I was able to get everything I wanted.

[Wario64]

[KiySeph]

I'm heading over to Fry's to pick up that 6-pack of Coke for 99 cents deal. I think I'll get around 6 dollars worth.

If I recall correctly, I've seen this rumble pak w/ the Free Hunters sticker offer since Hunters came out at Fry's. I haven't been to Best Buy or other retailers for a long time, so I dont know if other places sell it.

Just came back from Fry's and got the rumble pak. Thanks for the help SOSTrooper, I didn't know that the pak came with Hunters until you informed me of it.
