Wal-Mart to expand Blu-Ray selection

[Darko]

I just got this info that Wal-Mart plans to expand their Blu-Ray section sometime in May. For now it is expanding to an extra 4 foot. So most stores should have 8 feet of Blu-Rays sometime in May. They are removing another 4 foot modular to give the extra feet towards Blu.

Yeah I know its not a huge expansion but its better than no expansion. The 4 extra feet will go towards having more copies of new movies and having newer movies on the shelf longer than they currently stay. Also for popular back catalog titles that come out.

There is a chance some stores might not get this expansion right away due to location. Not sure if that involves high theft stores and low volume stores, but that would be my guess. But for most we just gained another 4 feet and each four feet gained is closer to making Blu the future.

This information came from me prying and pushing the Dept. Manager to ask questions.She got an email giving her the information along with contacting the vendors that stock the dvds and Blu-Rays for the information. They gladly spilled the beans.

If I get anymore info I will pass it along to you.
