[Anime Freak]

I have a question I went to bestbuy a few weeks ago and the anime section is shrinking even more now it's just half of the last back shelf but what has me shocked is that I went to purchase Tsubasa Collected Memories on bluray my bestbuy store did not stock it. A related problem I also went to buy Dragon Box Volume 3 the store only ordered 3 and the Boxsets were smashed and dented I thought that big Anime Sale that Bestbuy had which I bought as much anime as possible and I am slowly watching them was to get rid of there overstock of anime but it seems all of my local bestbuys are making there anime sections even smaller. It seems that what Bestbuy said about some stores keeping there anime section was a lie does anyone know what is going on it seems that anime fans are getting shafted

Um, I don't know what you read but that big anime sale they had last year was with the intent of shrinking the anime sections. The smallest sales stores were only going to get 20 or so top selling titles, there was going to be a mid level and then a large level but BB did it intentionally. Anime isn't selling well, so it's losing shelf space. Fans aren't getting "shafted" anymore than hockey fans who can't see NHL games on the big networks. Nobody has a right to entertainment and when the sales numbers fall the outlets that stock the entertainment will shift accordingly.

I think those are actually for the DVD versions. The FMA listing has a picture of the Blu-ray but it says DVD in the title and format. The Blu-ray listing for it says it's $44.99.

This is indeed online only. It's part of the 25% off Vampire Movies Sale. Store pick-up is certainly applicable should your local store have adequate inventory.

Dotcom usually won't let you place an order for in store pickup unless the store has more than 2 copies in media. So, this is fairly unlikely for most stores, but not impossible.
