Well, I can't gloat about having Fry's anymore. They've gone online.
http://www.FrysOutpost.com

I can, however, still sit happy in knowing I can actually GO there and shop around instead of browing a catalogue and ordering!

But I just wanted to let all those people out there know that Fry's got the online ordering site remodeled and put up. So, hey, look, it's Fry's.

Gee, you mean I can have their second rate, previously used/abused/owned shit delivered to my door instead of taking the 30 minute drive to see that that's all they have in stock?

You actually go to stores?

I buy almost everything online now. All my clothes, gifts, games, dvds etc all bought online.

But I dislike going to the stores/mall whatever, so maybe its just me =)

It's Garland.

And yeah... most of the shit I see in there has the "I've been previously rented" sticker on it.

I dont even bother to seperate them anymore.. They are just "overthere".. Garland and Mesquite just run smack into each other outside of like BigTown being a divider line. They are essentially just suburbia.

And yes the one in Garland sucks big time.. It's nearly worth the extra hour to drive to Arlington to go to the good one. It's like sowhere along the lines the decided to stop even bothering to renovate the place after it being Incredible Universe.. You notice that? It's like all rafters, and barren and crap, everything is laid out like some half ass outlet place and even the new stuff just looks.. Old...

I remember when it was IU... it wasn't a bad place.

And thoes fuckers can't count! 60+ registers, and like 15 to 25 people manning them... WTF? I stood in line for over an hour one night....

Where is the one in Arlington? I haven't been to it, but if it's better I'll start going to it over the one in Garland.

If your on the side of town near the Garland area. It's a stretch...

It's on I-20 between Magnum and Cooper I THINK.. or maybe it was Carter..

Anyways if you take 360 past Six Flags to I-20, then get on I-20 towards Ft Worth. You'll see it on your left hand side.

Everything in Mesquite and Garland is starting to suck. The roads, the stores...
and everything in that damn Fry's is opened. Or has been taped shut. Or is lying on the floor.

Arlington smells, but at least their Fry's is much higher. I heard something about Ultimate Electronics...does it compare? (There's one near Town East, and I think in Lewisville also)

Dunno, haven't been there.. I'll probably be heading to Town East this Saturday though to goof off, so I'll try and have a look around.. Never heard of it to be honest, concidering Town East is my main mall around here. So I take it it's a relatively new store?

Town East is actually a pretty badass mall, and I personally think it's highly underated all things concidered.

You've got these dorky game 'keys' to play in the arcades now.

I just usually take the girls for daddy/daughter time though and we hang out in the toy stores all day... Well.. Until Cyn catches eye of the arcade, then I just go broke.

Too bad I have no money, we could go to D&B.

Not that I've seen.. They did have a CompVR-Booth setup there for a while by the peddlers, not sure what it was running though.
