Mining The Vault

Have you ever searched for a film on disc--only to discover that it's not available?

Warner Bros. feels your pain...and plans to do something about it

The studio has a back catalogue of films that number at nearly 7,000. of which only about 1,200 of these titles have hit DVD, or Blu-ray.



Now, the studio's home entertainment division has come up with a great idea that will hopefully be adopted by all the majors soon a-custom mail ordering of films currently not available in stores reports USA Today.

The Warner Archive Collection allows fans of classic yet-to-be-released titles to pick a film they want from an online site (Warner Archive Collection.com).

For $19.95, WB will then burn, package and ship the DVD to customers for receipt within an estimated five days. Consumers also will be able to order films digitally, downloaded directly to their computers for $15.

Wow! A great idea indeed!!
