Same here, but Wal Mart reduced their BD selection even more in the last week and only have them on an end cap and I had to order the Next Gen movies (on the way) so I pre-ordered to be sure...(I do have a Doctors appointment the 17th and will be out of town but)...

That is how my Walmart has always been.

They Have an end cap with the "New" releases then had another section that they expanded for a few months then reduced, now eliminated... and I noticed Hastings has "culled" out many titles (Days of Thunder and ID4 off the top of my head) from the rental section.... may have to check out the only other place around here The Movie Gallery...

Interesting, perhaps warrants it's own thread -

I'm sure Best Buy is probably thrilled to hear this.

Good Idea! Done...
and the local rental place Hastings reduced their rental selection... I haven't checked out the Movie Gallery in a long time...

Meanwhile, my local Best Buy has expanded its Blu Ray selection to 3 sides of an aisle, a full aisle and one side of the next. In addition, the new and specials aisle is now about 1/3 Blu-Ray.

My Target is also slowly expanding its selection. They added about 8' this last week.

Just say "no" to WalMart.

This is weird.

My local Wally world has always had a crappy selection, but they are almost finished remodeling and moving every thing around. The electronics tv section looks like a best buy (million tv's on the wall) and the movie selection is huge. I was hoping the selection would get better

There is a special on Msnbc or Cnbc about Wal Mart changing... this article explains some of the media changes...

screw wally-world. I hate the place anyways. I suspect Amazon will be my primary vendor for blu-ray. BB is just too expensive, except when they have the occasional sale.
