I'm still surprised by this. As much as I really wanted the title to do well, I never expected it to sell extraordinarily well in not one, but all local retail outlets to me (I only scored a copy because a pre-order wasn't picked up -- I didn't pre-order as I didn't expect copies to be in short supply). It was a little odd to stroll around Game, Gamestation, and HMV and find them all sold out.
Somebody did something right.
