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.

Wait, you think they are going out of business by not selling cds and dvds? That is not an important business for anyone anymore and they will now have more space for things that generate money.
No one is buying that shit, so why stock it?
When I worked at a record label 15 years ago, Best Buy was our biggest account. Now they don't carry music at all. Progress comes at you quick

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.
They didn't clarify in the article, but I assume they mean they will still sell 4K UHD discs. Those often include a Blu-ray copy as well.
I hope they continue with 4ks.
I havnt bought a dvd or 1080p BluRay in a long time, but I'm still expanding my 4k collection
Same here
