Ooh, Under Siege on blu-ray? I need to own that. Watching Erica Eleniak popping out of the cake in HD should be a treat :D Thanks fido.

Move to Cali :)

and yeah, what's with retail value for Space Marine and Dead Island?

Why would I go to the state where the deal ISN'T being offered?
 
anyone want to hook me up with either PS Move bundle?

I thought that meant it just wasn't in the ads for those states.
The deal is good everywhere no?
It's even $19.99 on the website.

It means that it is only listed in the ads for those areas. But you are correct...I checked the website and nearly all of the pricing is available online, except for the console and Move bundles. That's atypical and makes me wonder about the regions with higher than "normal" prices.

Sorry, I'm a bit of a n00b on Fry's print ads. I'd love to get my Best Buy to price match Fry's for Dead island at $49.99, but I'm not sure how to grab scans for it (I live near Los Angeles, CA). I get LA Times on Sunday; would that have the 4 page ad mentioned in the OP, or just Friday's paper?

If it doesn't, what would be the best way to obtain a print ad to bring in store? I've had them price match Fry's for Red Dead Redemption and Mod Nation Racers back in 2010, but it sure was a pain!

Thanks!

To price match Dead Island in Los Angeles, you'd need a copy of the Friday OC Register ad. The LATimes ad won't work as the 4-page ads don't include next week's releases. It's very likely that the pricing will be reprinted in the Monday ad in both the OC Register and LATimes, but I can't be sure, especially as Monday is Labor Day.

This is obviously YMMV, but an idea is just to talk to someone in the video game section. In Downers Grove, IL, the only Frys I know of in my area, there is a Best Buy across the street. At that store, I'm always approached in the game section to see if I need help. Simply telling them that I'm interested in a game but that it is cheaper at Frys across the street, however I'd rather buy it with them, and every single time they have gone to the computer to look the price up online. If it's there, they will match. The bad part is, 99% of Frys sale prices are never online. The good news, this sale apparently IS online as well. This BB obviously isn't the same as others in this respect, in regards to matching online prices. It sort of depends on how cool the employee is you're dealing with. It's worth a shot if you can't find a print ad on Monday.
 
wow I almost bought infamous 2 @ frys the other day for 60!!!!!!!

picking it up today for 40.... woohooo!!!

You are listed as living in Georgia. Just making sure you realize there are 2 stores in the North Atlanta burbs. I realize everyone doesn't live in the metro area that lives in the state, but it certainly is a majority of the residents.
 
the move + tiger woods + sports champions is somewhat tempting at $80

arg, i'm just gonna cross my fingers and hope a $50 bundle drops again on black friday
 
Amazon did a lightning deal for tiger woods move bundle at $49 so it's ruined in my mind. I'm tempted by MLB 11 but I'm hoping to resist that this year.

Why don't you just hit up one of the many Fry's in the area, if you're apprehensive of a Best Buy PM? Unless of course your Best Buy location(s) are much more convenient...or you want rewards points.

Most likely, the new release pricing for Tuesday will be in one of the Fry's print ads over the next few days...can't recall if it was in today's ad (according to Fido, no...and I'm all but certain he is right), but most likely it will be in the 1 page ad on the back of the LA Times sports section tomorrow and/or Sunday. Also Monday/Tuesday, because usually Fry's puts out >1 page ads for the Monday holidays in the LA Times. Or just grab the OC Register like Fido said.
 
thx OP. am v tempted by $29.96 LBP2. but a self-respecting CAG would wait for the (inevitable) GOTY edition, right? any guesses when that'll be? and for it to be on sale too ;).
 
[quote name='radioactivez0r']Is $30 the lowest price LBP2 has been?[/QUOTE]

Ya, i think so, I've waited this long tho... 20$ or less for me I think. BF maybe.

many thx, fidodido. i've been looking in the latimes for a few days now with no luck, so that explains it. i hope my best buy will pm a printout of the oc register ad (and that it includes la locations in the ad; i think so but don't recall). they can be pretty anal about it.

btw: anyone have a link to the ad? it used to be pretty easy to navigate the oc register site but for the life of me, i now can't find their print ads.

UPDATE: well i found the ocregister ad and printed it but figures best buy wouldn't honor it AND the zombieland promo (tho they allowed pm and promos in the past), just one or the other.

Is the Uncharted bundle out already? I've never played them since I just got my ps3 a few months ago but $30 is an awesome deal
 
where would the 16gb memory stick pro duo be located? Id love to get anohter one but am not sure if that would be with the regular psp items, or with their memory sticks. Last time i looked in the memory stick section they didn't have any of them

They're locked up behind the registers. I had to ask the dude at the help desk and he asked for my name and phone number and gave me a print out to give to the cashier. The cashier then took the printout to the cage. Hope that helps!

comes out this Tuesday (9/6), and yes I agree for $30 it is an amazing deal. Go ahead and do yourself a favor, and buy it this Tuesday at Fry's. It's going for $39.99 normally at other retailers.

Hopefully someone can pick up the tiger woods move bundle for $50 tomorrow. Would be legit

[quote name='strait edge follower']Why they don't put a frys in a huge market that is nyc is baffling and makes me sad :([/QUOTE]

I don't think it's all that baffling. They are being very strategic about their locations...going to places where they know they can compete effectively. Competition in NYC is TOUGH...so it's probably not worth it to try...at least not yet. I think it's smart.
