Is HMV stocking new titles?

[Invisible Crane]

Today I went to HMV to get Baka And Test Season 2 (and before anyone asks why I didn't import the US BD set like 99.9% of people here do, I don't have a blu ray player of my own...especially a multi region BD player) but I could not find it. Not only that they didn't even have the Eden Of The East re-release. In fact with the exception of Bleech none of the recent releases have been in stock at HMV (at least the ones I go to)

I know HMV is in adminstration and all that but that hasn't stopped them from putting in the mainstream DVD/BD releases in stock. Is HMV ever going to sort this out or something?

I would guess that if they're in administration suppliers are going to have suspended their credit so they won't be able to get stock until things are back on track. If they have some other new releases they may well already have taken delivery and had them sitting in the store room prior to the administration fiasco (or just have some really generous suppliers).

If I were a DVD distributor right now, I wouldn't be sending stock to a company which was unlikely to be able to pay for it :s

Game's getting new releases again now after their dramatic cutbacks a few months back, so if HMV can pull through ok I'm sure they'll have stuff back on shelves soon.
