derwood, you are correct in identifying them as in the previously viewed section.

but they don't keep so many of them, that's why there is a rental price a retail price, and a sellthrough price. The rental price is something rediculous like $79.99, the retail price something more modest like $34.99, and then the sell through which is those huge marketing blitzes, buy it now for just $15.99.

those things take up valuable shelf space, which is why they only keep a precentage of them. Some are liquidated at someplace like overstock.com, but a majority of them are destroyed because it will cause the previously viewed ones to eventually hit a ultra low sub $5.99 price point which is too low for the "bean counters."
