Anyways, it will be very rare for you to be able to buy Hardened Edition over the counter as they've even stopped taking preorders (they've maxed their quotas). So unless someone just doesn't come get their Hardened Edition, that's the only way a store will have it left over.
However, most stores will hold it for 48 hours after release, so you'd have to wait until after that period to buy someone elses copy, I'd assume.
