Retail Stores Need To Tighten Up - Blu-ray Forum

Mr. Joshua · 01-10-2008, 01:15 AM

I'm getting frustrated that on release dates some titles are hard to find like one or two copies or the retailer doesn't even get the titles at all. Most recently Man On Fire and Sunshine cannot find them at 5 stores including BB, CC, Target, and Wally World... Anyway, I want retailers to get on the ball so we can purchase the Blu-ray titles we want on the release day...

Yea I agree. I was just posting in another thread how I cant find certain titles in stores.

My BB has a shitload of Wars too and even more Rush Hour 3's. Someone is overrating the Jackie Chan and Jet Li fan base!

Same here, I usually go the amazon route to make sure I get what I want.

I work for Target and I still buy mine through Amazon, they are cheaper and I don't have to hunt them down. Plus since the store I work at is a low volume store we don't always get a lot of anything unless it's a major release like the HP movies.

Ditto. BB only had 3:10 and 2 copies of Dragon Wars on Tuesday at 12 noon. Nothing else that was scheduled for release that day. They said they only received 2 copies of Sunshine, which was gone when I arrived. 3:10 was amazing by the way!

Well I went to Walmart today and they had about 10-12 copies of 3:10 to Yuma, about 3 of The Rock and the same for Con Air. Needless to say I bought all three on the spot. If they had Man on Fire I would have gotten that one too.

I do understand what you mean though. It's just plain weak when a store only get 2 copies of a movie on BD. I have started to notice thoguh that both Walmart and Futureshop in my city have started to bring in more of the new release titles. It's nice to see.
