All 'Potter' DVDs to be shelved by 2007
http://www.hpana.com/news.19512.html
Warner Bros. has confirmed to HPANA that it plans to pull all of the
first four Harry Potter DVDs off store shelves by early 2007, with no
announced plans for their return.
Sorcerer's Stone, Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban will
become unavailable after December 29, 2006. Goblet of Fire will follow
suit on February 9, 2007.
First reported by Home Media Retailing Magazineopens in new window,
the move may indicate WB's interest in stoking sales this non-Potter
holiday season, or preparing for newer editions of the films on HD-DVD
or Blu-Ray technology.
Called a "moratorium," the practice is commonplace in the home video
industry. The most notable instigator is Disney, which often locks
away movies in their "vault" to stimulate sales and publicity.
{I can't seem to find the original article they reference so I wonder
if this isn't in fact merely a rumor or misunderstanding. }
