I'm getting tired of this shit. Fry's has deals constantly. Why will they not build them here?

 

[cvxfreak]

Good job Fry's.

 

[NotMSRP]

lol @ subject to manufacture's delivery

They actually opened a Fry's here in Chicago, but it's way out in the suburbs and I'm lazy. SIGH

Do what I do. Grab a paper and price match

.. and then mail it to me.

 

[Zachack]

Damn my impulse buying, I had to get it at EB on Wed.

 

[madara]

Where exactly is this chain? Hear about it and Costco, Coconuts, Strawberry etc all time. I thought people just made them up, hehe.

 

[DarkGiygas]

This game is $49 at Best Buy Canada if anyone was wondering.

Mostly California and Texas. They're like Best Buy for smart people -- there aren't any stupid clerks trying to sell you accessories or extended warranties, and they usually have lurrvely electronics and book sections. They're also the only place around here I know that stocks literally every video-game magazine on one shelf.

Where in the suburbs? I live in Lake Forest.

Mostly California and Texas. They're like hell on earth for people buying electronics -- every clerk is an idiot, and they usually have terribly organized electronics and book sections. They're also the only place around here I know that makes me want to kill myself.

fixed it for you

 

[TekunoRobby]

rofl at fart.

I honestly don't care how shitty of a place it is, if I can walk in purchase a game with those deals then I'm happy.

TOO DAMN BAD I'M AT THE OPPOSITE END OF THE COUNTRY.

 

[fennec fox]

The only reason Fry's would make me want to kill myself is because I always end up impulse buying over $100 worth of stuff whenever I visit, which thankfully isn't that often.

I have about 60 DVD+Rs now because I always think I don't have any when I'm at Fry's and see a spindle.

Fry's is great for prices and inventory... they stink for customer service. I go there because I can get stuff dirt cheap, but I know that I will have to deal with 1) long lines, 2) the worst exchange/return experience in the known universe, and 3) employees who tend to hide whenever you need to ask a question.

 

[Jumpman]

Does anyone know if the Tales of Symphonia deal is good in Southern California?

I've found that the So Cal Fry's have the same deals, only a couple days later. I'd check Sunday's paper.

I've never experienced number 1 (the line's are extremely short at my local Fry's, I can't even remember ever having to wait in line any of the times I've been there... go figure) but I can vouch for number's 2 and 3. That said, ALL three are true for Best Buy.

Exchanges are difficult at Best Buy? I've done several at mine (Seattle, by Northgate) and they were the most painless processes ever. They didn't even ask to see a receipt.

I don't get the "long lines" bit, either. Our new Fry's up here has something like 100 cash registers arranged in a gargantuan rectangle. I'm not even kidding. I've never had to wait more than about 2 minutes for a register, even on the hugely popular opening day.

 

[Akira]

Stupid Fry's sold me a broken $800 TV cabinet. They took it back and gave me a new one, but only if I brought back to the store. That was my first bad experience from Fry's.

Agreed. There isn't one within a couple states from me.

Maybe it's just my Best Buy that's like this? The only time I've had a good exchange/customer service experience at Best Buy was when I knew the person who was working the counter. All other times it's been a real pain.

It seems that Northern and Southern California usually share most of the same deals, but there are sometimes exceptions. I don't subscribe to any newspapers, so if anyone can confirm the Tales deal for So Cal, I would appreciate it.

Yup. Got me some of dem bargains just today.

 

[cvxfreak]

I think Fry's is a cool shop. Their store in Palo Alto, CA is a bit dull (it seems more fit for a Home Depot) but they have tons of games on the shelves, and the game alphabetical order is organized unlike the Circuit City mess. Price matching is up my bag though.

Thanks, I'll be picking up Tales of Symphonia tomorrow then.
