The DVD sell-through market is big business. The studios are not going to jeopardize the Wal-Mart channel.

The luxury market seems to be more resilient to changes in the economy, whether its gas prices or (other) things like that.

If I can get a free rental every week in store, why wouldn't I take the extra freebie for the same price?

This is just a company that is stuck competing with Target and its not a good position to be in.

The Street was hoping for positive comps in Japan, and also some investors were expecting same-store sales growth in the U.S. to be 10 percent or higher.

It was a case where he had to make a strategic decision, and he stuck it out, but the jury is still out whether it pays off for them. So far it's been a huge hit (with customers), but the timing was tough. It happened at the same time rental business fell off.

The good news is that we knew the fourth quarter was going to be bad. Did we know the (same-store revenue comparisons) would be down 10 percent? I was thinking more like 7 percent.

Japan turned positive after seven quarters of negative comparisons. That's the story here.

I don't understand why the stock reacted so favorably to them saying they were renting out space in their stores. Frankly that is an admission that your business in trouble.
