Because that actually sells.
Exactly. A lot of people in the thread seem to miss that point. Best Buy is a physical space with limited real estate. They carry things that people want to buy and taking things off their shelves is a clear indicator of something that isn’t selling anymore. Streaming is not going away. The quality of streaming is good enough for the vast majority of the public.
Honestly, most people can’t tell a difference. Heck, I know what I’m looking for and I can’t either half the time. Convenience over quality will win every time.
Yeah, I haven’t met a single person that that has owned nor have never seen anyone buy bluerays in all the years that it has been available.
It really got a weird timeframe, when internet started to become fast and readily available everywhere, streaming services starting to exist, computers getting smaller and without optical drives… In the last 15 years or more I haven’t owned a computer with a reading optical drive.
People I know with playstations only use it to play mostly and the games are usually digital buys.
I only stream music while driving. I’ve got about 600 vinyl and 400 movies in the various disc formats. I’ve been buying more of them than ever, after watching streaming sites remove content.
