Software is pretty much never sold out to anyone who has a car.

I remember going to get Mario Party 8 from Circuit City. It was coming out at 2 pm, and was 10 bucks cheaper than anywhere else. I was stoked! I got there at 10 til. Stood around the video game area, didn't see really anyone else for some time, then wandered over to the video game counter a few minutes after 2, wondering what was up.
"Oh, we already sold out," was the reply to my query. "But, it's just now 2!" Didn't matter, I came to find out, they just started selling them, at the front, with no warning, whenever they felt like it. [censored]! Now what?
Well, we have a Best Buy just a stone's throw away from CC in Wichita, so I meandered over there, expecting to see some empty shelves. I go in, get to the game section, and lo and behold, see row after row of untouched copies of Mario Party 8. Sure, it was 10 bucks more, but the 20 dollar gift card to CC (since they'd run out of the game) made me feel a whole lot better about paying the extra ten now. Sure made buying Mario Strikers cheap, too.
