Warner Home Video was the first company to introduce this day
and Date policy with Training Day and Ocean's Eleven this will
means that the new Harry Potter released today will be the same.
Our supplier has informed us that they and other suppliers have
gone to Warner and made a plea for libraries and further to this
they are negotiating a special deal for libraries which involves rental
copies being made available to libraries after a few months at a
reduced rate - the proviso being we have to order in advance the
number of copies required as rental copies are only available for a
short time as they are produced to order. Although this would be
better than having to pay the full rental cost it has implications in
replacement of titles later.
