i didn't have any trouble getting my copy at all, i went over to circuit city picked it up bought it and left. they had 4 or 5 copies left.

Found a copy here in Montreal (No French manual, of course). I have reserved a copy and was lucky to get the "last one".

Which store did you go to in Montreal??

I bought it last week. =) I have already beat the game on sweet mode and am now working on new game+ in mild.
