The electronics store chain is reportedly going to stock discs through the end of this year.
Mark another notch in the slow demise of physical media. On Friday, massive electronics store chain Best Buy confirmed that it will stop selling all DVDs and Blu-Rays starting in the new year. Best Buy says it was ending all in-store and online purchases of DVDs sometime in the new year after this holiday season for all 1,129 Best Buy stores, including the 969 in the U.S. It’s unclear if Blu-rays will also be removed at the same time.
“Making this change gives us more space and opportunity to bring customers new and innovative tech for them to explore,” the spokesperson said. Best Buy itself is trying to scale back on its sales expectations for later this year. After sharing its most recent quarterly earnings report in August, the company’s CEO Corie Barry told investors this year will be “the low point in tech demand” but expects next year’s sales to bounce back.
