Seeing how often movies and games leave the digital market, I can't say I'm a big fan of this. That's what worries me. Remember the P.T. demo? There could be more games lost to time if anymore conflicts happen within a company in the event that physical games go away completely. |

People still go to Best Buy?
I am lucky to see maybe 15 cars in their gigantic parking lot at any given time, and I'd say some of those are just parked there next to the Target next door.
I haven't probably been in there for a decade or more.

So there is also rumors that Walmart might stop carrying Xbox games come 2024. Let's hope it is just that, rumors.

Not surprising, to be honest. Physical media is slowly, but surely dying out. I could see PS6 and Xbox Series 2 X/S/V/9 not even having a built-in disc drive and offering a separate drive, similar to what the new PS5 digital does.

Big mistake, especially for the games.
Go to any video game show and you will see the demand and pricing for physical media is still there.

Man, my local Best Buy opened as a Future Shop in 2005 and had the most incredible DVD section I had ever seen. My buddy and I would go hang out there just looking at all the DVD’s. Their movie section was bigger then my f***ing house
I don’t buy much for DVD/BD anymore, probably average about 2-3 a year now, but this is still disappointing to hear

The continued loss of physical media means more and more pirate hats are being put on. Not to mention the absurd lengths companies will go through in the name of "Anti-Piracy"
They'll even try to brick your stuff if need be.

With the improvement of 3D printing year by year, yeah, I'm going to download a f***ing Ferrari.

I just hope they keep making Steelbooks for the MCU movies. Steelbooks were the only thing I really buy at Best Buy anymore.

All this I haven’t been to a Best Buy in forever and I buy 2-3 movies a year makes it seem like not too bad an idea.

Seeing how often movies and games leave the digital market, I can't say I'm a big fan of this. Which is the primary reason I haven't fully crossed over to streaming. If anything, I still prefer physical copies. Sure, I may stream stuff at times but I often prefer owning my movies and games. Hell, I still prefer buying CDs and prefer reading actual books instead of eBooks. |

Neither did the people whom worker there, as there was reports of people showing up for their shifts only to find the store closed for good when they got there. |
