In a recent news bite from ICv2 and ANN, Best Buy is apparently trying a new strategy in regards to anime. Best Buy stores with ‘historically good sales with anime’ will continue its current anime selection, however over 460 stores will only carry the best selling and top tier anime in their selection.
In addition, anime will be divided into classes which certain stores will carry in order to better organize this change.
Many anime distributors are worried about this change to their already niche style market however they aren’t the only ones being left in the cold as all DVD’s are being effected in this manner.
The good news is, if you live near one of these stores, you can cash in and get some anime on the cheap. Anything not an ‘A-list’ title will be on clearance at 50% below retail.
Check out the full article, complete with a list of stores that are effected.
