From my own personal experience, the situation over there is quite appalling now. When I first moved there in 2006 and for the couple of years before when I made regular long trips, you could find pretty much anything in Best Buy, Circuit City, FYE, Borders, Barnes and Noble. One Best Buy I used to go into was like a DVD library! Rows and rows of one section probably the size of your average HMV main floor.
Circuit City and Borders went out of business, Best Buy devoted more space to Blu-Ray, B & N shrank their sections and the only nationwide chain that carries a lot still is FYE, though they tend to charge full RRP. By the time I left last year, other than at FYE, I hadn't seen a specialist tile in Best Buy or B & N (other than Criterion) since about 2008/2009.
HMV actually carries more here and we all know how good and cheap they are! Seriously, if you want to buy a Code Red or even a BU, Synapse or Severin on title DVD the only way to go in the U.S. is online now in general.
