Summer (especially July) is traditionally a very slow period for home video sales, but with all the new licence announcements that Funi made back in January I was hoping we'd be getting a little more new content on DVD in a months time than just the last 4 episodes of Claymore. We'll take what we can get though. Also, Funi's June schedule was quite aggressive with 21 new SKU's being released, and they are still adjusting to Best Buy's recent decision not to carry (at any stores) nearly half of their June releases, so they are clearly waiting to release some of those new 'A' titles this fall when the market will be more conducive to their success.

My problem is that I just hate to wait... :-)
