There are many items in stores that they make very thin margins, or maybe even lose money at the price they are selling them. That's the case in every industry. Best Buy makes their money on electronics. Oh, and Monster cables. The rest is just filler.
If buying movies at Best Buy would put them out of business, I would take the short term hit.

I love the blue cases and don't want them to change...I think the clear cases for PS3 games blow.

No, don't kid yourself. They still make a lot of money on them. They may just happen to make more on their other merchandise.

Nah. Blue cases are a reminder of Sony's domination over HD content. Clear cases feel neutral.

I'd love to see other studios start to use other colors .. Why have every single company's cases the exact same? Especially since the cover art doesn't reach top to bottom. I'd like to see some variety in color since they all share the same height.

With CC gone, if BB were to go, prices would go even higher. We'd all take a long term hit.

I'd prefer translucent smoke or piano black - classy while still being neutral for most cover art.
