Futureshop: "Sorry we sold out the few units we got."

EBGames: "We only got a few copies and they sold out. Maybe in a few days."

HMV: "Our order hasn’t arrived yet."

Interesting launch for a Game Of The Year contender. 360 version BTW.

Edit: As a consolation, Puzzle Quest if finally out in XBLA. It’s a fantastic game.

Well, found a copy in Best Buy, and played through the regular Portal missions. It is short but excellent. The trailers had more or less told me what to expect in terms of mechanics and puzzles, but the level of polish and atmosphere of the full game is simply stellar. Someone has released a Flash version that is very entertaining. Now it’s time to catch up with the Half Life story in episodes 1 & 2.
