You know how Toys R Us is doing that buy-two-get-one-free deal this week?
Some guy is going around town buying up every copy of PSU, presumably so
he can resell the free copy at a profit. I managed to snag a copy by going
across the river to the bad side of town and buying from the Toys R Us
there.

I don't think we can blame this on Sega. I'm pretty sure that the
different games are pressed in different factories, to the point where
they're shipping separately too. It's not unusual for different parts of
the country to get shipments at different times of day, depending on what
distributor you're counting on.
Oh, incidentally? I'm trying to run my PS2 copy now and it looks like the
PlaySega servers are overloaded. They don't seem to be able to process
logons right now. Reminds me of the early days of PSO all over again. :)
