Here's the video game software listings from the DFW, LA, SJ, and 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. - San Diego, Sacremento, Austin, Houston, NV, AZ, OR, IL, GA), but it only appeared in the SJ ad. We have noticed that the Dallas Morning News and SJ Mercury News often run very similar ads. Also, the Chicago ads are often similar to the LA Times ads. 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 four (DFW, LA, SJ, and WA) ads.

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

NOTE! - Sorry, everybody, I was delayed in getting back, so I've returned...but after the Labor Day Sale ended.

NEW! - Added Renton, WA store ads - tagged as WA!

oops we posted the same time....ignore my previous post

stay refined body and mind

Some damn nice deals.

Wish I had a Fry's nearby, closest one is down in Dallas.

Great deals on Pikmin 2 and Phantom Brave Special Edition. Once again, I wish we had a Fry's in my area :(

Can someone tell me how Frys is able to sell brand new games for $10-$15 dollars less than everybody else and still stay in business? That has got to be more than the retailer's mark up...

man there goes me selling my nascar used for 35 ship down the drain lol

One word: Volume.

Guess you've never been to a Fry's eh? :wink:

Unfortunately, no. There isn't one within 5 states of me in any direction.... but your saying they actually pay less than $39.99 for the games from the distributor? I didn't realize retailer markup was more than $10 per game.

they will probally take a hit on the game hoping you will spend more money in the store


just like walmart gas stations they sell gas cheaper cause they think u will shop at walmart

I usually just pricematch somewhere else because it takes bout 20 minutes to get to my frys, but when I do go out there I can never just buy one thing, i always get around 5 games.

Phantom brave is so tempting......must resist.....

I'm looking at the ad, which just says "Phantom Brave". Does your ad actually say "special edition"?

Does this ad appear in the Friday paper. Think I am going to try and pricematch Far Cry at CC, and add the PC Gamer $10 off coupon.

wow, great prices this week! nhl, phantom brave, star ocean, far cry, and for the people who wanted it (the names escape me at the moment), the guygame. :P

My ad says Phantom Brave Special Edition (Dallas).

Hopefully these prices apply to my Fry's, too. I'll check them out since they're across the street from my school.

Mine does say special edition (San Jose)

Originally Posted by eldad9 I'm looking at the ad, which just says "Phantom Brave". Does your ad actually say "special edition"?

I can't answer for San Diego. However, of the ads I checked, LA Times lists Phantom Brave, but OC Register, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and San Jose Mercury News all list Special Edition.

From what I've seen, most places don't seem to increase the price for the Special Edition. So, I just assumed that Fry's either doesn't care or has priced them both the same.

I know that Phantom Brave: LE comes with a soundtrack, but I could have sworn I saw something about an art book to.

Is there one?

As far as I know, only Gamestop was offering the free mini art book. It's nothing special. When they say mini, they mean really, really small (it's basically a promotion for the full price strategy guide).
