Sucks to live in Lethbridge if you wanted to get the game today. I went to Future Shop but they are closed until next week as they are moving locations. So I went to the mall and the guy at GameStop told me that they aren't allowed to sell new release material on holidays. I commented on what a lame policy that was and he told me that it is a Canadian law. I highly doubt it, and won't take my business to them anyway.

So I went to EB Games and they said that they'll be getting it later in the day but I can't buy a copy if I haven't pre-purchased it. So I asked if they're all sold out, and he said no, they'll plenty but you can only pre-purchase because they need to make sure they have enough copies. He couldn't tell me why I needed to pre-purchase a couple of hours before they get their shipment when they have enough copies for pre-purchased people and walk up sales.

I then went to a Staples, who didn't have it on the shelf and didn't have any staff around to talk to. Then I stopped at London Drugs who won't get their shipment until tomorrow and then Wal-Mart who had no clue what I was talking about (not very surprising).

I was so excited to get and play the game today, now I have to wait a day to purchase it, only I'm too busy to play the game until next week. ARGH!!!!
