For the So Cal ad, the better choice is going through the OC Register websites, since the ad in the Register is larger than the one in the times.

Just scroll down to Fry's

I would buy "Unfaithful/High Crimes" if it were available at that price in Burbank.

Sorry, everyone. I was out of town helping my parents move into their new Vegas home. So I wasn't able to post the ads yesterday.

Here's the entertainment software listings from the DFW, LA, and SJ Fry's Ad(s). These prices are valid only for the dates listed in the subject line.

Note that while we have noticed there is usually about an overlap in sale items, there is no guarantee that the same items are on sale at other geographic locations (i.e. - San Diego, Austin, Houston, NV, AZ, WA, OR, IL). If someone knows of a website to view any further ads, please let me know.

Ignore the "Amazon Exclusive" part. They were just lying.
