All their sales are always in-store only?
Not online?
Thats terrible, I've never even heard of the chain.... where is it located?
Their games are always cheaper.

There are currently 7 stores in Northern California, 8 stores in Southern California, 8 stores in Texas, 2 stores in Arizona, and 1 store each in Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.
each fry's location is based on a theme too
http://www.frys.com/
Each store carries its own unique theme.
In Northern California:
- Campbell's ancient Egyptian theme displays King Tut tombs.
- Concord is the newest addition to the Bay Area market.
- Fremont's 1893 World's Fair theme is a flashback to the first city powered by electricity.
- Palo Alto steps straight out of the old wild, wild west.
- San Jose pays tribute to the first astronomers, the Mayans, with settings from Chichenitza.
- Sunnyvale reflects the history of the Silicon Valley.
In Southern California:
- Anaheim places you on the NASA flight deck for the Endeavor Space Shuttle, complete with launches on big screens all weekend long.
- Burbank pulls you back in time to the 1950's with a retro-space theme from Hollywood, complete with little green Martians and Gort, the robot.
- City of Industry pays tribute to the industrial revolution with bigger-than-life gears.
- Fountain Valley hails the ruins of ancient Rome, complete with a flowing aqueduct.
- Manhattan Beach takes you to Tahiti with sculpted lava tiki heads and its own rain forest.
- San Marcos takes you to Atlantis, with its aquariums, exotic fish, and waterfalls.
- Woodland Hills is a page out of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland storybook, with 10 to 15-foot high figurines of the story characters.
In Texas:
- Austin is a tribute to the city's reputation as the "Live Music Capital of the World."
- Dallas allows you to experience the Lazy-K ranch, complete with a herd of longhorn cattle.
- Houston lets you view the history of Texas oil, complete with oil derricks.
- Irving pays tribute to its history, which is depicted throughout the store on mural-size photos.
- Plano shows how the railroad impacted the development of this thriving area.
- South Houston honors the city's rich pioneer heritage.
- Webster's murals depict the history of space exploration together with a scale replica of the international space station.
In Arizona:
- Phoenix is a journey into an ancient Aztec temple.
In Illinois:
- Downers Grove displays historical pictures of the train station, the Downer Family and local business sites throughout the store.
In Indiana:

No it doesn't. I can't remember seeing any sort of theme at the Renton store.

Ah.. interesting.. Dallas has a big herd of cattle when u walk into the door above the doors in a balcony area and its got sounds of a guy whipping them and there mooing and the inside is decorated in old wood look like you walked into a saloon..
Plano is next to a railroad track and its really fancy, and is all marble inside with a grand piano playing all across the store old westernish festive music and has a restraunt in the middle (plano is the prissy city of the DFW area)
Irving its true there are murals everyhwere
Nice tidbits there

The Las Vegas Fry's has the world's largest functioning slot machine on the outside of their building right off the Strip.

I may just be excessively picky, but this game is barely playable. I rented it and 15 minutes later I was ready to take it back. For one thing, it's so relentlessly black that it's almost impossible to play in anything but complete darkness, even on the PSP's highest brightness setting. And once you get yourself into the basement so you can make out what's happening on-screen, you'll be treated to a festival of cheap hits and deaths, a half-assed combo system, and horrible targeting.
