I waited outside at EBgames for 20 mins (Max limit of 5 iirc). Finally got inside and they didn't have the game either. Went out to my car and three taps on the screen had it ordered - delivered to my doorstep in 2-3 weeks. I could have tried at another location but couldn't risk the potential wait time with no reward. It's just a really tough environment for brick and mortar stores right now.

There is an EBgames in Avalon Mall too isn't there? I can understand how two locations so close to one another wouldn't be sustainable.
If you want to try local for video games, have you been to Games exchange on Freshwater Road? Not sure if they sell new but they have a massive collection of used games. Prices are better than new and I've found the quality good. Staff are great there too.
