Congrats, EB Games, you train your droids well. I stood as much chance of walking out holding my preordered Collector’s Edition box as I did of sprouting a perfectly-formed kumquat from my nipple. My Jedi mind powers were trumped by the pure, indomitable, retailness encountered therein. Oh, he would have gladly sold me a shirt or a poster, but that game shall remain safely behind the counter until sometime well into the evening 3 days hence.
I wonder how good their security system is?
