So I went to pick up my preorder for The Wonderful 101 yesterday, despite getting no phone call that it was available. I enter EB Games. There are no empty cases for the game visible anywhere. None on the shelf, none behind the counter.
I stand in line, approach the counter, and ask the girl there about it. She gives me a bewildered look, like I asked her for her uterus on a platter or something, and checks the computer.
"It's not out until.... the 15th." She answers, after asking me which system the game was for. Then she pauses, before adding. "Oh. That's today."
"Check under the desk." Her co-worker suggests. Sure enough, the game is there. It's probably the only copy in the store. All in all, it was a fairly bewildering experience.
