I would bet good money that HMV threw a large wad of cash at 88 to get those films on the shelf at £8.99 (my local HMV just put 7 copies of Mother's Day on the shelf) as a young company if 88 can shift s*@t loads of discs quick even if the profit per unit is down to £1 each they would go for it as even that £1 keeps them in the black rather than stacking them up in a warehouse somewhere waiting for Cult Labbers to snag em all
Also those red BD cases really stand out on shelves (all good publicity)
