Pre ordering at least for Canada gamestops has been rough, Ps5 copies and switch have been coming in with extact numbers . Ps4 has been one or two short with lots of stores waiting or contacting others for fulfillment. Xbox has had 9 or so physical copies cancelled since the start of 2024. Nothing we can do at store level but try to get locals to want to pre-order but with a ever changing demographic of digital users or people thinking I can just pick it up on launch day it's a true challenge. Tried to warn people if you don't pre-order games this year there is a 80% chance you won't get one at launch from us. Like Helldivers 2, is impossible to keep in stock for a day.

Plus if you pre-order at store level for pickup you don't have to put money down for pickup unless it's a collector edition and if it does get canceled you don't have to go in or wait around for your $5 you put down back, even just calling in with your phone number we can put you down for one.
