Best Buy to end DVD & Blu-ray disc sales

DVD sure, but why Bluray? They’re actually good…

I still buy DVD and Blu-rays. Because you have a physical backup, you can watch it without Internet, and they can't change the media. Like removing scenes or episodes.

I haven't used a DVD in 10-15 years and never used a BluRay but this is still a little surprising to me. Old non-tech-savvy people need movies too.

Seriously? Given how all the streaming services are getting more expensive, I was starting to wonder if buying some good series on Blu-ray would be the better option.

you will own nothing!

CDs are still being produced despite most retailers dropping them or massively reducing stock. I’m hoping the same applies for blu-ray.

I want to own the media I pay for. If physical discs go away and there isn’t a DRM-free way to purchase it digitally (not a chance in hell of that happening), I will just pirate what I want to watch.

I buy music because DRM-free digital downloads are the norm.

I buy games because Steam is actually good and DRM-free options are available from Itch and GOG for those with no tolerance for DRM.

The TV and movie industry on the other hand feels like it’s actively trying to get rid of the only remaining way to own the media.

I kinda wish we had a Gog of movies, like download movies with zero DRM or anything. I much rather store them on a local disk.

Back when we saw the death of the floppy disk, I knew optical media's days were numbered. Twenty years ago we had no idea that everything was going to be "something as a service." Enshitification hadn't been invented yet.

But they're still selling vinyl?

Thrift stores are gonna be packed

Thanks for taking away the last few remaining copies of my hopes and dreams away from me.

Sad. I'll have to get my disks from walmart

I stopped going to bestbuy several years ago when they stopped selling audio CDs. I have to imagine they will be out of business soon.
