Best Buy to Discontinue DVD and Blu-ray Sales
Best Buy is reportedly planning to end all physical media sales, including DVDs, Blu-rays, and 4K Ultra HD, in-store and online by early 2024. This decision comes after Netflix recently discontinued its DVD delivery service. With Best Buy's exit, limited options remain in the US, including Walmart, Target, Redbox, and Amazon. The decline in disc purchases is attributed to the rise of streaming services, with a 28% drop in physical product sales in the first half of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.
