Angry Getting Pretty TIRED of FOX's terrible distribution of catalog releases!

Why is it that when Disney, Sony or Warner release catalog titles on Blu-ray, you can immediately find them in store shelves on the first day they are released, and in good quantities too.

But when FOX releases catalog titles (examples below) we ALWAYS have a hard time finding them at stores, either not in stock, was never shipped to the store by Tuesday, or NOT EVEN in their Inventory.

  • Independence Day (Only 3 Bestbuys in the Denver had 1-2 copies in stock)
  • I, Robot (Same as above)
  • Me, Myself, and Irene (Not Sold in Bestbuy/CC stores - only available online)
  • Ice Age I (Same as Me, Myself, and Irene)
  • The Fly (Never made it to stores - Remember when it came out, no one was able to find it in stores)
  • The Day After Tomorrow (Again, Limited availability in Limited Stores)

I am just getting tired of FOX's terrible and POORLY organized distribution of their catalog titles. What's the point of making these badass catalog releases on Blu-ray with Excellent Audio/Video transfers, extra special and interactive features, top notch releases all together, WHEN YOU CANNOT EVEN BUY THE FUKKING MOVIE from retail B&M stores for WEEKS and MONTHS after it's released!!!!

They make excellent BD's and they REALLY pack them with goodies, but WHO CARES about any of this WHEN YOU CANNOT FIND THE MOVIE ANYWHERE??? Not to mention the $40 MSRP ($30-$35 retail) on some of these catalog titles are. I am willing to throw down the cash if I can find the damn thing in stock.

No one can blame this on BestBuy or Circuit City or Walmart, because most Fox catalog titles are almost never available in stores when they are first released, but somehow Sony, Warner, and Disney always manage to SHIP PLENTY of Copies of their new BD Catalog releases, this Problem has been consistently FOX's since 2006, they DON't Push the releases of their BD catalog titles and they dont ship out as much as they should, even though they SPEND A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY Perfecting these releases but then fall short of Promoting and properly distributing them in time to be AVAILABLE ON THE TUESDAY THEY ARE SUPPOSED TOP BE RELEASED!!!

I am frustrated, and dont even get me started with the fact that they DONT EVEN PROMOTE THEIR DAY AND DATE NEW RELEASES on Blu-ray, Most of the time I only see them advertise the DVD releases of New Movies, without a single mention of Blu-ray (they may at best show a Blu-ray logo at the end of the Ad)...As if Blu-ray is like an ugly ass girlfriend that they dont wanna be seen with in public.


Enough ranting...sorry I had to vent, because I went to 2 Walmart stores, and 3 Bestbuys and NONE OF THEM EVEN RECEIVED A SHIPMENT of Independence Day or I Robot on bluray yesterday! They HAD NONE ZILCH in stock!!!
