trust me when i say a good chunk of their customers is gonna be lost due to this decision. when i worked at BBY for a few years there were regular customers who would come in every week to buy a ton of blu rays lol
My target in my area got rid of physical copies of movies. Now having books to replace the section of movies. Still has physical game copies for xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo. It's Sad that best buy is next on getting rid of movies. Now just Walmart left on getting physical copy movies.
@@user-kr9cg5vc84 yes they do have all of those things, but the company's been going under for a while now and that's part of the reason i jumped ship when i did. a lot of my friends at the store left around the same time too. the CEO has zero clue what she's doing on a company level, and to make things even worse on top of that, my store had no general manager for nearly 4 months. ask anyone who's worked there since the pandemic. Best Buy is a trainwreck right now.
I literally still collect a goddamn bunch of movies, TV shows, games along with many other things on multiple physical media formats and this is how we are thanked by theses corporations?? My God 🙄🤦♂️
Granted the rumor actually stated that Walmart won't sell physical copies of xbox games, but still don't be surprised if walmart stops selling physical media in general in a few months from now.
It’s not really that surprising, less people are buying discs anymore. Hell, Best Buy already stopped selling CDs in 2018. Also, Netflix just discontinued mailing DVDs in the mail (it’s now several dollars cheaper!)
Prior to the current streaming service, DVDs and Blu-rays were the physical viewing method for movies and series. It’s no secret that movie collectors hold DVDs and Blu-rays in high regard. But what does the future hold for this platform? Will we see a dead end, or is there hope?
I think it'll be a while before physical media dies simply due to the fact that not everyone, myself included, has great internet speeds. Also, the fact that Disney and Netflix are releasing some of their streaming catalog in physical format shows that they still care about the physical media market (to an extent when it comes to Disney)
i heard in stores they're gonna stop but what about online? most people shop online even at best buy anyway... but yeah it's pretty simple supply & demand
@@Limonelguey how much will those services cost at that point in time? Lower? higher? Lmao. 100% higher for something I get for free right now... First scene in Simpsons Movie why pay for something when you can get it for free.....
Wait what ???? Oh man this sucks love Best buys , but with the downsizing of game stocks DVD's were the main reason I still went to best buy these days.
Physical Media will never die. People will still buy online & conventions. You can't get everything on streaming. I just bought Adventures of Batman (1968).
If you think physical media is going to be around forever than you’re a fool physical media will not be around forever physical media will be dying out at some point physical media days are numbered physical media will eventually end up like the vinyl record and the 8track tape.
If you can still buy em online, I'll be alright but after just buying rise of the beasts at 🎯 this week, this just gives me another reason not to go there.

@@RYMAN1321 collectors yes they will continue to buy physical media however a lot of young people including me will be using streaming services to watch all of our movies and tv shows rather then DVDs 📀 and blue ray.
The nearest Best Buy is 100 miles away from me and the only reason I ever went there was for their DVD and Blu rays. I guess that's over. I prefer to see videos in the highest quality quality possible. I have yet to see any streaming that is anywhere close to Blu rays in audio and video quality..
I have told you before that this cannot be a tax write off unless it was scrapped without seeing the light of day like they did with Batgirl. So stop saying that tax write off bullshit and do your research on what a tax write off is.
This is because no one ia purchasing physical media. If you really care, support physical media and urge everyone you know to do the same. Personally, i don't care because even if streaming services remove digital media, piracy will keep digital media alive forever.
No actually it's the big businesses pushing to destroy the competition and manipulating the market. So they can corner the market. Then they can suck everyone forever. I got a cable package to sell you....
That was inevitable or not. Each new technology successfully supersedes the previous one. There will come a day when someone will invent something new and streaming will become old hat. Maybe our kids will be able to look at Casablanca in a holo cube and interact with Bogey and the Bergman. "Play it again, spectators." 😉
i would hope they never even consider to liquidate video game inventory let alone get rid of it. unlike movies video games hold value. IF im going to pay 59.99 its going to be physical so i can sell it back for 40 dollars instead of eating the 59.99 for a download who is going to want to kiss there money goodbye ?
The industry is changing. They would rather have people pay $$ to stream or otherwise pay for premium services to watch their favorite shows, movies. They're Greedy! If you could watch it at home, any time you want, Why pay $$ to stream it? I remember when DVDs and Blu Rays were Everywhere! 4K Blu Ray is a mistake. No 1 is buying them. In a bad economy, who's gonna pay $40 for an HD 4K disc when groceries and rent are So expensive? For what you'd pay for a home theater system ( which is what you need for optimum 4K playback) You could buy a used car or rent an air bnb
That SUCKS! I've been collecting DVDs and Blu Rays for Years! Vinyl Records have come back.. DVD Isn't going anywhere! Most Target stores do not sell DVDS or BDs anymore, either
That’s not entirely true on the subject of digital video games. In the early 2010s an HD remake of a classic Sega Genesis game known as earthworm Jim was made. However, the company that made it (interplay) closed down due to bankruptcy and sold off it’s properties including the earthworm Jim HD game that was made no longer playable on the PlayStation and Xbox it was released on. Because the game was not made physically it will not be played or watched ever again except for TH-cam videos and Google images.

Time to boycott Best Buy. I will not be shopping there anymore if they won’t sell discs anymore.
Keeping physical media would be the best, but people can be really foolish, about these matters.
And now there's a rumor that walmart is also gonna abandon physical media. The all digital future freaking sucks i hate this 😡😭
Granted the rumor actually stated that Walmart won't sell physical copies of xbox games, but still don't be surprised if walmart stops selling physical media in general in a few months from now.
Not really a problem for me at least because you can find it all cheap at second hand stores and most new movies aren't that good anyways.
Here’s thing once that happens they’re gonna raise the price on digital because there’s no longer an alternative.
Yep exactly
💯
The Best Buys in Ontario only have one tiny shelf of blu rays anyways. Some of them don't have any at all.
Same. I have more movies than best buy in my area. But large scale not cool.
It’s not really that surprising, less people are buying discs anymore. Hell, Best Buy already stopped selling CDs in 2018.

Actually sucks considering now you cannot use these services with out Internet.
Ironic
When you consider that DVD helped put them on the map
I get that physical media is dying, but if the die hard collectors dont have an option theyll just make their own disks.
If best buy really does that I'll be ordering dvd's from Amazon.

This happened already at my location. They sell them online only and you can pick them up in store.
My husband loved going to best buy.he had bought his last TV at best buy before he had got sick and passed away.
i heard in stores they're gonna stop but what about online? most people shop online even at best buy anyway... but yeah it's pretty simple supply & demand
Not a fan of this especially for the people that want to physically own something like a DVD or brs
Half the store is outside cell phone vendors. I guess they're getting a new kiosk.
Well that is probably not going to end well because you can get a cell phone any where
At this point I wish I could channel my inner Scarlet Witch and say “No more streaming”.
Facts ❤️
Streaming isn’t reliable. Distribution rights are always being transferred
Analysts did predict by 2030-2040, that physical media will be a thing of the past

They will probably try to get rid of most of them

What ??? 😂😂😂 How is this the first I’m hearing about this???
Same
Same
Cause it wasn't officially confirmed until like yesterday
Me: The World Used To Be A Bigger Place.
The Other Physical Media Collectors: The World's Still The Same, There's Just Less In It.
Physical media won't die. They been saying physical books were going to die yet they are still going strong.
Haha true I've been in FL for over 10 years now and the barns and noble here still going strong.
@G-man47 here in California they really strong. Barnes and Noble should start to sell more blurays.

Best Buy will be just fine.
I hope so best buy will out of business.

That’s to bad…. I love having dvds in my collection

I've been collecting DVDs and Blu Rays for Years!
Vinyl Records have come back..
DVD Isn't going anywhere!
Most Target stores do not sell DVDS or BDs anymore, either
I wish Sony would release the fucking Extended Cut of No Way Home on Blu-Ray already. That is my go to version for the movie
So they are not going to sell movies and TV series anymore.
Blu rays and dvds are important if your cable goes out lol.
Streaming is the new cable

i'm not shock there used to be tons rows of dvds and blurays but now it just one row or none
My local thrift stores have thousands of nice dvds who needs Best Buy.
You can always try an antiques shop.
Barnes and nobles still has a good selection of DVD and Blu ray etc
Actors get residual money from the sale of DVDs! Some actors need the money !
It's also target that's doing this
That is not surprising but it does suck.
Last steel book i got at best buy was avengers endgame.
♪♪ A ho ho ho and a har har har, a Pirate's life for me it be ♪♪
This is a horrible decision
I get my dvds at Walmart anyway.
WTF?!
That Sucks
That's not gonna last long
You will own nothing and you will be happy
Omg 🤦♂️😫
Who on earth has bought a dvd in like 10 years? Even Blu-ray it’s just pointless clutter.
Well I have and no it isn’t it is sadly preserving the films you love because streaming services can’t be trusted look at the french connection
Do you stream? 🤣
That’s whack af
Lame!!!!!
I just found out my local Walmart stop selling new release movies on blu-ray and DVD 😢
first. eh Bestbuy DVD/BR displays looks like Walmart maybe less. Not Surprised!!
