Do they market the discs with the players, on an end-cap by themselves or in the normal DVD section? Retailers aren’t that concerned where they put ‘em to tell you the truth as the make up such a small part of the overall inventory of media with a total percentage of around the 5% mark according to one wholesaler and not a lot of people are asking for new discs. Best Buy is starting to opt for product placement with the normal DVDs, as that’s where consumers go to find movies, not in the video department. “
