Here in the US, they had a movies and music section for years.

I dunno, I guess different regions had different amount of traffic. Borders by me always seemed fairly busy, more people being in compared to B&N. Their demise was some what of a surprise to me, with the only thing I could say I understood about their downfall was their poor web presence. Borders farmed out everything online, instead of doing it themselves, which was a bad bad move.
