Maybe it is your location ,I have always been able to get the new releases on time at Future Shop and Amazon.ca

My guess would be due to distribution rights and a different studio (ie. Alliance) handling the Canadian release as opposed to it's distributor (usually the studio itself) in the US.

I'm guessing it has to do with most releases coming from the US and not enough copies to go around between the 2 countries. Zack & Miri and Pride & Glory are the latest I've encountered that were delayed in Canada.

Depends where you live I guess... I've noticed Futureshop/Best Buy usually have new releases on time, Walmart sometimes takes a few days.
