Best Buy to Cease Physical Media Sales by 2024

Best Buy is reportedly planning to exit the physical media business in the US, including in-store and online sales of Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD. This follows Disney's decision to cease physical media releases in Australia, and Paramount's shift of exclusive titles to Amazon. While the report suggests that physical media will not disappear entirely, it indicates that the industry is catering more to diehard fans and collectors, signaling the end of the 'Golden Age' of physical media.
