Fry's Ads 8/27-31
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.
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, WA, 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 three (DFW, LA, and SJ) ads.
News: The Atlanta is having its Grand Opening! Sorry, Atlanta, no online ads in the AJC yet.

The Saturday update items posted above are all in the Dallas Morning News today on page 30A so they're not SJ only. There's also Tomb Raider - Cradle of Life for $9.99 and Olympic Series at $14.99

I wanted to point out the incredibly low price in the Friday L.A. ad for a GoVideo DVD Recorder for $149. The Burbank Frys was sold out though as of late this afternoon (Saturday).

Out of 4 software items, they clearly made mistakes on 2 of them - raising the price of KotOR and forgetting to list the price of SRS, so I'm guessing that this is a 3rd error. Plus, Fry's rarely ends their prices without a .99 or .88.
