Just a little advice here for next time; Call those stores querying if they have a product in stock that you are looking for, and request them if they can hold it for you until you arrive to pick it up. Save gas, minimize traffics, and your time.
I haven’t brought this game yet until UBI get to make a new patch that remove Starfarce off SH3 so I can play without system crashing or problems from it. While they haven’t, I figured I won’t be satisfied with SH4 until they do. I am not surprise there bugs and problems on SH4, I am sure most of them will be iron out someday, just like SH3.
One of my friend works at one of EB store, he told me his manager being selective putting aside the shipping packages of some new PC games in closets or hide them somewhere which he refused to put them on shelves, but only report that no one is buying them after several weeks so he send them back. He is being grudge against some gaming companies or publishers because of their fewer shipping, their delaying, bugs in games, and games being incomplete, problems like starfarce and such, which encouraging a lot of customers’ returns. He does that to some specifically PC games only from what he read reviews on them before putting them on shelves. I don’t know if he also hold his grudge against SH4 this time, last time I know he did that when Star Trek Legacy came out which I don’t blame him. Of course I didn’t buy that game.
Since few years, I have learned to be patience and read reviews as long it takes before making a decision to buy a game. Anyway, maybe one of those stores you visited do have them in stock but not on shelves, I guess maybe their managers aren’t the only ones with grudges like my friend's manager lol.
