''Costco'', which also sells video games almost never had video games with an ''[[ESRB]]'' rating of "M" and the games there are 2 years old on average. Also, at Costco, the selection of video games becomes narrower as it becomes closer to Christmas, as it is a wholesale store and must sell to businesspeople and retailers, making re-ordering practically impossible until after the holidays.

Some of the more upscale stores like ''The Bay'', ''Sears'' (excluding the holiday season), and ''Honest Ed's Department Store'' in Toronto have never traditionally sold Grand Theft Auto games because they usually don't deal in video games. Their idea of electronics are limited to televisions, DVD players, and home equipment. So don't go to one of these stores expecting to see ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]''.
