I've chatted to a couple of record stores now, and it sounds like they're largely being dicked over by the suppliers and/or Sony. I think many of the more local stores are keen to sell this at a reasonable price, but can't get a commitment from suppliers on how many they can get, and what price. I suspect the bigger franchises are just happy to mark up and hope people buy.
If I were in a position where I wanted a copy, but hadn't ordered on yet (I order mine on Amazon) then I'd head to my nearest local record store, actually have a chat with them, and you may well find they will reserve you a copy, and you probably won't have to pay $150 for it.
