Does anyone know why Funimation insist on putting their Blu-ray/DVD combos in a DVD box?

They mostly stopped using dvd cases but they are putting Blu cases in dvd sized slip covers. They are doing this so Best Buy will continue to put their titles in their anime section instead of mixed in with the other blu rays. I know it's stupid but thats the reason.

Really? Wow I avoid buying any title in a DVD box. I've noticed at my local Best Buy that Blu-Rays are now mixed together with DVDs in the sections. Since the anime industry has done away with the singles and instead only puts out box sets, the anime space has dropped from 4 sections a few years ago to only 1. The DVD slipcase is annoying, but at least it's a good compromise. I know it may sound bizarre, but I have about 200 Blu-Ray titles, 200 anime DVD titles, and 200 non-anime DVD titles each in a separate rack. I know it may seem anal, but it bothers me to have a dvd case in my blu-ray collection. My father in law gave my son Cars 2 in a DVD case last year, and still bothers me to look at it.

BTW that is a lot of Blu-Rays.
