Why is Session 9 impossible to find at B&M's?

I checked DVDAF and it is not listed as being OOP.
I have checked 3 BB's, 3 CC's, 2 B&N's, 2 FYE's and a Borders and nothing...
I never had this much trouble finding a regular DVD like this before, usually i can get it from at least one of those places. I gave in and ordered it online, but i REALLY wanted to watch it today.

not alot of demand for a couple years old title that wasn't that high in demand when it was current.

Small initial print run.

I bought mine at my local Borders about 3 years ago. That's the only B&M where I've ever seen it on the shelf before.

Like many Dvds,

it was all over when it first came out, but only has a shelf life of maybe a couple of months. After that, go to a Movie Stop. They have it used for $6.

Solution: Just order it online.

The OP mentioned that he has already done that.

Stores simply don't have enough shelf space to have a copy of every DVD title that's been released. The more obscure the title is, and the older of a release it is, the less likely a store will have it. I don't think it's OOP, and some of those stores likely could've ordered it for you had you asked, but they're not going to order it themselves for their shelf because it's not going to sell as well as the other titles that they do carry.

Here's a thread that was a response to a recent New York Times article commenting on how obscure DVD titles are getting harder and harder to find in B&M stores:

Thanks for the responses guys.

I really wish there was a Fry's around here, it sounds like they always have some great deals for new releases and stuff.
