Don't know, because a) that was the only retailer I visited, since I used to work there, and b) Either side coming up with that plan doesn't surprise me in the least. Because the flipside is that GameStop will bitch and moan about publishers treating them like legalized pirates, but when the advertising dollars come a-rollin' in, they shut up and and add more wall and gondola space for empty mockups for shit they want presell numbers on.

Ever wonder why there was a big-ass display of empty box art for anything EA in the stores? Or, why Microsoft seems to domineer about 70% of a store's wallspace? It wasn't because of the superior number of titles to the other two, and Nintendo seems to have to cram everything for the Wii and DS into one store corner?
