June 15, 200520 yr There is a Fry's electronics in Downers Grove (just south of Butterfield on Finley Road). This is the only one in Illinois, and it is a great place. Its like a super-sized Best Buy, but with better prices. I have gotten some great deals over the past year. I bought Madden NFL 2005 for $36.99, the day it came out. Retail 49.99. Now they have Grand Theft Auto San Andreas for XBox for $29.99 (through tomorrow)...Retail $49.99. They also have lots of deals on movies, TVs, CDs, evertyhing they sell. Their ads are always in the middle of the Sun Times (not sure about the trib). If you haven't checked this place out, do it. Has anyone got any kick ass deals from there?
June 15, 200520 yr There's 5 of them in the metroplex (Dallas/Fort Worth and surrounding cities). That place just kicks MAJOR ass. I never even go to Best Buy now, because Fry's kicks the s*** out of them as far as prices and stuff they have. The most dangerous thing I possess is a credit card from Fry's with too large of a limit... Edited June 15, 200520 yr by kapkomet

I was wondering if they were doing this since they were new to our market.
June 15, 200520 yr They run door busters, and damn good ones, all the time down here. And, the regular prices are pretty damn good too, better then Best Buy on average.

They have great deals on just about everything and they sell anything you want electronically. I can spend the entire day in that damn store.

We regularly run them for $40 bucks out the door before rebates.

Pretty darn badass, but they do get major crowded, especially when they have a real good sale item.
