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 am with @ghdprentice on this…I have not spun a blu-ray movie for a very long time. The two OPPO’s in my home are turned off. The streaming content with right equipment is just as good as 4K Blu-rays, especially new releases. My Sony 77" BRAVIA XR A80L OLED 4K monitor + Apple 4K TV with full surround system provides a stunning audio/visual experience.

I get the sentiment of owning a physical disc but please don’t tell me that streaming quality is not as good as 4K blu-ray. Just check out new releases on Amazon, Disney and Netflix.
