lol i found i think like 20 copies of l2... of course, there were only 3 on display... empty cases that were replaced by a sealed game when u wanted to buy one :)
There are only two major video game stores in my area that do not carry it. GTCs are another problem*, but fortunately you can buy a GTC replacement at just about every vending machine around here, so honestly, it's not that bad.
* (All abbreviations were actually spoken in full.)
Me: Do you have any GTCs?
Clerk: Oh, yeah. Here.
Me: That's a WoW GTC...
Clerk: Oh?
Me: Any other NCSoft GTC would be fine as well...
Clerk: NCSoft?
Me: L2, CoV, CoH? You know, you have a few copies of L2 on your shelf over there.
Clerk: Never heard of it...
So at best buy the other day i found the original L2 Prima Guide. They had a copy of the game too but i was most impressed by a 3 year old strategy guide.
