I've done it for weird used poo poo that might accidentally not be in stock, like ps2 SMT games.

but it seems kinda weird and pointless to do it for a current release, almost as weird as buying a physical copy of a current release for full retail price would be in the first place

Get this: Normies buy physical copies of current releases for full retail price, all the time.

In middle school I preordered Ocarina of Time at Toys R Us and when I went to pick it up I just grabbed a copy off the shelf and the lady behind the counter was like oh did you reserve (we called it reserving in those days), then you get this one, and gave me one of the copies from behind the counter. It had a special shiny cover and of course the cart was gold. That was nice of her to make sure I got my special copy. Well that's my preorder story thanks for listening.

Amazon (the American non-lovely one) stopped shipping games to Canada not too long ago, and Steam changed their prices to Canadian money lately to dick us. It's an expensive time to be a gamer up north.

where people frequently call up the videogame store to make sure that their game is there. Is this a normal thing that other adults do.

If its a weird or obscure game.. Yes. But also cause i live in a realy rural area and have to drive kinda far to get to a games store.

The last physical video game I bought from a store for full retail price was Borderlands for the PC in 2009

I can't even remember the last time I've bought a game in a real store instead of just ordering or downloading it, because the thought of interacting with another human being terrifies me to my gooncore.

1. gamestop has a game locator on their website
2. target usually carries the kind of games i wanna play anyway so i just shop at target instead
3. i never shop at best buy cause it's kind of out of the way for me and there's an annoying left turn i have to make to get in there and it's just not worth going to honestly

why the gently caress do goons shop at best buy anyway, it sucks and i hate making that left turn
