If a store has actual systems in stock, they won't be out themselves on the display store. They'll be in the glass case with the rest of the videogames, or behind a counter. Don't want to risk a pyramid of $600 systems getting spilled all over the floor cause some three year olds are playing tag in Walmart.
And, at least when it comes to EB games' case, they display things that are not in stock too. I can't count the number of times I have asked if they could get so and so out of the back. Then they tell me that they don't actually have any and won't for a long time. I am not talking about things that sell out easily either, or that are hard to get, I mean things like controllers and Xbox live memberships.
