Best Buy WILL NO LONGER SELL PHYSICAL MEDIA

[Dynamite James]

The End of an era I’m going to miss all the times browsing these kind of stores like we did in the 90s.(Blockbusters, music stores etc) Best Buy won’t be around much longer. Going to end up like Circuit City

The joke is actually on the people. People can lose music, movies, etc if streaming companies act funny or go out of business.

Going to Blockbuster was an experience back in the day.

No more waiting “on” line for the “sell” of physical media.

Geographical lingo is always funny.

Man yall better buy up every dvd and blu ray you can find. With digital media especially streaming you do not control how long you can access your favorite movies they can switch off your service and demand a monthly charge for a movie you already supposedly own digitally. Plus the pay per stream movies lack all the special extras and bonus footage from some of the DVD/Blu Ray releases. On top of that they can change the version of the movie they stream to you at will they can censor "controversial" scenes or remove the film you like from their platform.

Anybody that holds on to a large dvd/bluray collection will eat like a king when all those physical copies become rare. Limited edition dvd and bluray prices will skyrocket. get your ebay account ready.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Better cop the physical copies of your favorite movies/shows while you can. Because with everything going the streaming route, if a certain episode or scene is deemed inappropriate they’re going to either censor it or pull it altogether

I mean it's probably not profitable at this point when you consider just the storage space alone.

That’s what I miss the experience. Being on your phone is not an experience. I dread the day movie theaters ever going away
