Best Buy Says Bye-Bye to DVDs

Best Buy announced recently they will stop selling DVDs/Blu-Rays in early 2024, so let's all give a big ho-hum. That will be my predicted response of the majority of people, and it's one they may regret down the line. Yeah, physical discs take up storage space and require another component to play them, but once you own one, it's yours to keep or do with as you wish. And I have yet to hear a streamed version of a movie that sounds as good as an actual disc. It's possible there could be a few exceptions to that statement, but I've never encountered one. I would assume that Best Buy will also stop carrying the players at some point, so any hard-core diehards may want to think about purchasing a spare before year's end.

I like Blu-Ray's,  DVD are out dated by a good margin though.

I still find a Blu-ray is better over all then the same movie streamed. And you can get the additions a disk gives you like the out takes and the making of etc.

But i can understand why they are cutting them out. to me though its not a cost thing its a movie industry thing and the poorly written and poorly made movies that seem to flood our market of late nothing worth buying IMO.
