Wrong Turn, i'm looking at you here, same goes for Blithe Spirit.

Yet Asda sell both the dvd and blu-ray of newly re-released Van Damme movie Wake of Death from 2004.
Our local Morrisons sells literally the 'Top 5' blurays and something like 50 different DVDs, the blurays are always sold out as well.

The good thing is that Asda and Sainsbury's sell different 'classic' blu's.

For example i bought the Resident Evil set from Asda, Sainsbury's don't have it. Asda have Austin Powers, Ghostbusters 1&2 and a Back to the Future set oh and The Karate Kid box set. Sainsbury's have an X-Men box set, Matrix trilogy, Indy Jones, Dirty Harry, Fifth Element and so on.

Both sell stuff like Soul and Wonder Woman of course

Still got a full isle of them in both stores near me. They must be profitable in some areas and less so in others i guess.

Maybe it depends on whether there are other media sales outlets in the area

In Torquay, both Sainsburys and Asda have the top 10 for DVD's and a smattering of Blu-rays. Other than that, Smiths has a handful, and you can be forgiven for not seeing what Tesco has to offer

If you want to go to HMV, our closest stores are either Exeter (18 miles away) or Plymouth (27 miles away) so there is really nothing in the immediate vicinity or walking distance

Asda have the top 10 on blu and a random selection of about 10 other titles that doesn't get changed up much. But about 400 dvds.
I miss the local Sainsburies selling media because they often stocked new releases from the likes of Eureka or 88 at better prices than hmv.

Our postman knocked on our door to give us a parcel, we get on really well with him and think sometimes he knocks just to see faith, he adores our dog.
Anyhow he mentioned about the films I get etc and said there’s a guy just round the corner who gets films delivered nearly every day and sometimes it’s up to 5-6 a day, oh my other film was wallace and gromit collection dvd.

maybe I should get to know this guy
