Throughout many posts on the forums, one repeated comment I read often is the shock that a Best Buy B&M does not carry a disc come release day, even when it is a "cult favorite" or "a well known release." Most recently the MGM/Fox Midnite Movies and other cult films (Burning, Scarecrows) were not carried in the store, causing many people to go on scavenger hunts to find the movies. There are many reasons for this, which have been discussed in many other threads, on why movies are not stocked at B&M stores. I am one of those people that like to pickup the movies on release day, but lately, I have found myself disappointed that Best Buy doesn't carry the disc (especially HDDVD and Blu-Ray titles) and I have had to order them online.

I have created a list to show which titles WILL NOT BE IN ANY BEST BUY STORE on release day. There are some titles, such as the recent Vincent Price collection and RotLD that should be stocked, but were very VMMV. Thought I would help those like me make educated decision when ordering new releases and eliminating the shock value of a lost search. If needed, I can compile other weeks as well. I have separated the discs into format and alphabetical with convenient links for evidence. Hope this helps.
