When I went to Gamestop yesterday, I bought the last copy of MP3 they had. According to the clerk, they received 65 copies of which 60 were pre-orders. So I'm wondering if this is just local to me or if anyone else encountered something similar.

If gamestop told you that, I wouldn't trust it. They like to make up numbers to convince people that preordering is normal and they were very lucky to get away without preordering this time, but next time they should preorder. They probably had 50 copies sitting back there and told you that you got the last one in a bid to get you to preorder next time.

Gamestop loves to lie to people to increase profits. Avoid shopping there forever.  Also, I got Metroid Prime on Monday (the 27th) -- a day earlier than if I would have had a gamestop preorder.  There's no reason to preorder software.  It's all over the place.
