Outrun PSP: The Experience

I finally tracked down Outrun for PSP at Toys R Us today. Every EB and
Gamestop I went to (3 in total) had each gotten one copy in, and they
had each opened the copy they had received and pasted a sticker on it.
No one else even had it (Best Buy, Circuit City, two Targets; CC said it
wasn't even in their system). I want to drive Gamestop/EB out of
business; why can't they just get the outer cases like everyone else for
the games they put out on the floor instead of shitting on them? Three
of them lost sales over the last 24 hours because of their policy
(although there would have been only a single sale there; each of them
lost a sale serially, tho), and they make me madder and madder every
time it happens (especially when the people there say "Why would you
care if it's open?").

I'll get around to playing it sometime. Anyone else here getting it?
I'll post my username once I've set it up, you do the same. (I wonder if
it's online across platforms? I'll check GameFAQs if no one mentions it soon...)

I miss the days when analog was first coming around on the PSX, and
then later on just DC games in general, when developers actually let
you freely switch between, or even just use, the digital pad and analog
sticks.
