The current situation puts DVDs and Blu Rays in the loss leader column as they are selling on new release at or under cost at retail. If everyone has the same price on the exact same merchandise there is no incentive for the consumer to follow the loss leader into any particular establishment. They are simply angling their 30 percent market share into a price break so they can sell for less and still make margin, even if it is a tiny bit on each unit sold.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(15838564, 'Tedsallis')\">Reply</a></div>		 	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>                <!-- Display comment (reply comment, which may be a parent of more replies) -->            <div class=\"inner-reply-container\" >                 <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	     <!-- Loop through the reply comments -->                    <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-15832673\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=335366\"><img        src=\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-335366-100x100.png\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=335366\">UCLAri</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/10/walmart-move-could-render-dvd-sales-doa.html#comment-15832673\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-10-06T15:56:22-05:00\">October  6, 2009  3:56 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(15832673);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=15832673');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>@<a href=\"#c15830174\" rel=\"nofollow\">apd09</a>: OK, I'll say it:  I buy Blu-Ray movies.

Besides, I hate it when people try to convince me that whatever format I have is obsolete, because it means I'll eventually have to buy my favorite movies on the new format which means I'll have to spend more money.

are PS3s, and the fact that his 5.4 million DVD Players doesn't count PS2 sales, as the PS2 wasn't available until slightly more than 3 years after DVD's came out. If you go out to 4 years, and count PS2 sales, you'll find that the PS2 alone sold nearly 8 million dvd players in it's first year on the market.

Last few times I've looked there for Blu-Ray discs everything was $30 and up. The same titles can be bought at Amazon for around $20-22, and shipping is only about $3, so they're still cheaper than at Wal-Mart.</p><p>Heck, until last week I hadn't made a purchase at Best Buy in years, but I found the 2nd season set of \"Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles\" selling for the same price as Amazon ($44.99 on sale). If Wal-Mart had been selling the set (they weren't), it undoubtedly would have been $60 or more.

It's just not worth it trying to find anything in them. And they ALWAYS stick them out in the middle of a narrow aisle at the local store.

It would have been better had they never abandoned the old rack that the cheap movies (I believe they were 2 for $11 at the time) were in that was not organized but at least made all of the movies visible and neatly shelved.  I think that the reason they switched to the bins is that people purchased more movies from the bins because they felt as though they were finding a gem when they dug through to the bottom of the bin and found that one copy of Jaws. Back when Wal-Mart still used Anderson reps for the movies, I even had a rep tell me that some stores intentionally left their value bin looking like a bomb went off in it instead of being neatly stacked as our store attempts to keep our bin because the movies sold better when the bins were a mess.  Another thing that is being changed is that the $13/$9 island is being reorganized by genre and \"quality of title\" (i.e. the ones that make the most money or sell the most copies) rather than alphabetically. As for blu-ray displays, the number of blu-ray displays has increased. We have gone from having the one Sony blu-ray display to having a new blu-ray display that shipped last month, a Vizio endcap with blu-ray hooked up to it, and entire island with four TVs hooked up to a blu-ray player.  The removal of the $5 bin in some stores (ours still has the bin and a new inline section) may also be to help make the transition to blu-ray instead of DVD.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(15838133, 'ceilingFANBOY')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","","","","","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-15840268\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=636090\"><img        src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=636090\">MooseOfReason</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/10/walmart-move-could-render-dvd-sales-doa.html#comment-15840268\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-10-06T20:11:47-05:00\">October  6, 2009  8:11 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(15840268);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=15840268');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>If I buy a DVD, I get it used and from Amazon.com.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(15840268, 'MooseOfReason')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-15840976\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=236747\"><img        src=\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-236747-100x100.png\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=236747\">rachaeljean</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/10/walmart-move-could-render-dvd-sales-doa.html#comment-15840976\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-10-06T20:32:18-05:00\">October  6, 2009  8:32 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(15840976);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=15840976');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>I haven't bought DVDs in YEARS...
