Anyway..I hate GameStop unless I'm going to get a console or console game. I HATE their PC selection. It's like CoD series, WoW, Guild Wars, and a bunch of crappy games. Fry's is like 4 few meters sections for games.
Actually, my store is two whole dedicated isles to PCGames, the same size as the PS3 and Xbox360 sections combined. Hell, add in the Wii section, it's larger than your average Gamestop.

Fry's Electronics is a private company owned and operated, to this day, by the Fry's brothers. There are about 40 stores located around the U.S. with an online store, formerly known as Outpost.com.

The state with the largest number of store is California, as that was the state it first started in. You can find them in some of the most technological cities in the U.S., considering our massive supply of transistors, computer parts, home theater installation kit, and not to mention large selection of TVs, movies, games, computer, and what name you. You can walk in here and leave with all the parts you need to build any kind of electrical device.


On a side note, I'm not supposed to tell anyone this, but Fry's has an excellent contract with Nintendo and other suppliers. Even though we get our stock late, we usually get the most. While everyone was sold out of Wii Fits last January, we were the only store that had a giant stack that got replace weekly.
