Fry's Ads 9/10-14

Here's the entertainment 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.

Half-Joey. Buronut 3 is worth the price whether it's 34.00 or 49.99. EA and Criterion did a gret job of making adding competitive elemtns to the game along with the SSX3 style soundtracks. I hope you can get it for $34.99 but don't not make the purchase over a couple of bucks.

This section is pretty amusing being that these games have just been announced as Greatest Hits titles by Sony and $19.99 is the going price. Oh well.

$19.99
ATV Offroad Fury 2 (LA only)
Jak II (DFW and LA)
Ratchet & Clank 2: Going Commando (LA only)

I think EA has some sort of lowest-advertised price rule. Yes, the ad says "Low Price", but it's in an arrow that points directly to the $34.99 price of SRS. That's the price for Burnout. Sneaky, but effective in getting around that rule.

Actually, this is fairly typical of Fry's. They'll intersperse random "New/Everyday Low Price" listings just to drive some interest in those items. It kinda works.

Yeah, if something's cheaper, it makes sense to advertise that fact, regardless of whether the new price comes from the manufacturer or the store.

How long will Fable be at that price? I won't be able to swing by on thursday due to work but don't want to miss out. The ad is only good till the 14th but Fable won't be in store till the 16th. Do they carry it over on the next ad or do you have to grab it the first day?
