Agreed, maybe two copies of the big titles. And one of everything else. Still 1700 x 170 = 289K.

The key is the effect that many people seeing a rack of Blu-ray titles to rent means for this years player sales. It's pure gold from a marketing perspective.

This is interesting. Folks, let's all make a note that when we first see the Blu-ray displays appear in our local Blockbuster to post here what stock level they have. My closest one is expecting to be one of the "expansion" sites.
