Basically just the title. With DVDs getting tossed to the wind it made me wonder when will blu-rays go? I’m gonna miss bloopers and extra scenes

Edit: A bit confused but the general consensus is that in some areas BRs have already began to be phased out while in others they’re just trucking along perfectly fine. It’ll be that way until they stop being profitable to the studios who make them. Is that correct? I don’t think the 8k argument is valid imo since that’s really niche currently.

    They are hardly anywhere now… Best Buy is phasing out their remaining physical movie sections this year.

      That makes sense, to be fair. Movie catalogs are more of a “long tail” product. It’s not economical to stock 1000s of titles in 100s of locations, but it’s a crappy shopping experience if they only have a few titles. So, even those who do still buy physical media won’t frequent Best Buy for them.
