Aah, Gamestop. I was lucky enough to buy the "last" copy of Bioshock, Halo 3, AND Call of Duty 4 (there were at least 10 visible copies of COD4 behind the counter). I got their "next to the last" copy of Metroid Prime 3.
This may not be rampant, but I honestly think it's Gamestop/EBGames policy to tell the customer that they are almost out of copies of "that awesome new game you want to buy". You're more likely to pre-order next time, or at least buy the rare remaining copy. I'm buying Okami today. I'm just going to walk into the store, and buy it. No doubt, it will be the last copy. Fortunately, I've been super lucky as of late!
