DVDs, Blu-ray discs may soon be extinct | GMA 

There are other places to buy physical media. It might look a bit different 20 years from now though.

@@yggdrasil7942 I hope not

@collgoff In 20 years, we'll have something that's far more superior than blu rays. I don't give a rats arse about streaming as theg don't give you the features that physical media gives.

@@yggdrasil7942 I just in 20 years there might be a way to make things we like to come back and no things with streaming to be too expensive.

@collgoff In 20 years I'll be a pensioner, so it won't bother me as much as you youngsters.

I agree I think Best Buy will change their mind

@@wk2172 oh thank goodness

@@MorganNye they haven’t yet but they will I have a hunch

@@wk2172 Ok.

@maddox121 ok

@@Marc.Martain Yep.

I agree 😔

Same we need to do something

@@jofbeats11 I agree 👍

Totally agreed. Streaming is not reliable enough in my opinion; sure it's fine for 90% of the movies out there, but for classics and favorites I still want to have my own copies available any time I want. I also don't trust the streaming companies to not dramatically jack up their prices once they control all content available to us.

Nobody ever thinks of that … I do all the time. Or when a hacker holds a company for ransom. Ppl are short sighted idiots

Go outside?

You hit the nail on the head….. it’s all about control and once the companies know you have no alternative the will raise rates too Poop idea all the way around to stream. The only benefit is space saving. Takes less room. Other than that…. It will be less options, more money, and definitely defiantly more censorship So tired of the PC garbage culture we live in. Screw ppls feelings

Agreed. There’s so many older shows & movies that are impossible to get access to outside of dvd due to either companies losing their licenses or because of licensing greed where multiple companies own a show or mouth & can’t decide which one of their streaming services to put it on because then the other owners get mad because they won’t make enough money. Look at South Park constantly changing between it’s 2 companies’ streaming services which is why there was a whole war between the 2 companies trying to get streaming rights to it which I think Warner bros might’ve won but idk.

What I don’t understand is why these studios are doing it to themselves. The marvels tanked, Indiana Jones 5 tanked, almost every Disney movie in 2023 tanked & the reason is not only cause of their content being meh, but because of streaming. Why go pay more if you can just watch it at home for free? Then they wonder why their movies are bombing at the box office & why they’re losing so much money. They’re doing it to themselves which takes away from the movie feeling special or feeling like an event but also takes away from people’s interest if they can just watch it a few weeks or a month or 2 later when it immediately goes to streaming. It’s a sad state these companies are in but they’re doing it to themselves when the simple solution would be to not count on streaming anymore & just leave it to Netflix to be the only streaming service as well as Hulu & Amazon prime.

I really hope you're right 😊

THIS is the point. By ending sales of private physical sales they have total control over the movie media we watch and how it’s censored in the future. The same will happen with physical print media for the same reason. I’ve been buying important books and movies for a few years because I’ve felt this was coming. Crazy or not, I’m glad I still have a cassette player and tapes, a turntable and records, 8-track and tapes to listen to the music of my life and VHS and DVD to watch the movies that are important to me.

They’re just forcing people to go to streaming

@@packedentertainment2866 Exactly. I mean, I use streaming, but I also use physical media too. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️😮‍💨

I still have my VHS, 8-track, and cassette players and media too. I even have a Victrola!

Best Buy either way stopped being fun since like 2015

i agree and then when they go bankrupt... don't come crying to the customers. they made their choice.. so live with and take the medicine. what they going do.. make us take our tower on PC and burn to blank DVD from movies online. gg ppl

@@destinypowers1146 is this forever?

Same. I’ll no longer be going there. TVs? Oh please, you just need to get a tv once in your life at least, unless you want to upgrade or something happens to it, then you go to IKEA or target or wherever because many stores sell them. Screw Best Buy. They’re so foolish, cause that’s one of their biggest sources of income due to DVDs changing every month with new movie releases & even shows after their seasons or series wrap up.

I hope so best buy will going out of business.

Me too! 😤😡

We need to protest

Fr, but what can we do? Other than just keep buying dvds from Amazon or from the actual stores instead of digital. I don’t think there’s much else we can do to change their mind. But to each their own, Best-Buy is going to regret it. That’s one of their biggest sources of income which is why it doesn’t make sense to me, TVs get bought very rarely, cause you buy at least one in your entire life unless you want to upgrade or unless your tv gets damaged somehow. But with dvds, they change & get new theater releases as well as shows that finished their seasons or ended their series every month on dvd. It’s the only thing (minus action figures although those aren’t in every Best Buy) that changes & gets newer things to keep people interested almost every month. When best buy goes out of business & I’m sure it will after this, they are going to regret it.

@@packedentertainment2866 Yep! Exactly my thoughts as well. 😲👏👏

@@packedentertainment2866 I actually got 2 TVs in my life. Well, actually 3, because I had a small TV first, a 20'. Then, I got a bigger one, a 43' TV and that one got cracked really bad by accident. (Was trying to move with my dad's help) Then, got a 40' TV which I still have.

Agreed

Too bad our economy is not prospering lol record inflation buddy 7$ cereal lmao Thanks Joe ….. keep sniffing childrens hair tho.

its just a movie. you act like they're taking away your car.

@@joeybaseball7352 I'm entitled to my opinion and I'm sure there is shit you would give a dam about that I wouldn't , and that's a bit exaggerated isn't it ? I was acting like they were taking my car lol I didn't get all emotional I stated an opinion.

U already know why more ppl like too stream more and cd's are eye candy and nostalgia on your behalf .....this is basic mortal technology lmao

@@kyleleriche why do people like streaming better? What’s with this little respect for dvd’s?

@@MorganNye you poisined L yall always have the son of elohym is god ,the son of man is four god...

@@MorganNye u dont like streaming , then aprt of one is not for streaming

@@MorganNye why didnt u help out blockbuster......................

How many people can afford that.

Not to mention movies like Austin Powers or like Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory that got their revenue from dvd & physical copies that made them turn into classics will no longer exist. Movies that lost money at the box office usually would then make that money back from dvd sales if they failed to get the money they used for the budget back. Like look at the recent flash movie it lost Warner bros 200-300 million dollars which is why they had to sell James Gunn’s recent looney tunes spin-off movie as a write off to save money despite it being their IP & then the recent Batman Christmas movie to Amazon prime instead of Max. Also Disney lost about 200 million dollars on the little mermaid remake due to it underperforming. I wouldn’t be surprised if more movie companies will start to file for bankruptcy & go out of business if dvds just stop existing. Not to mention all the future possibility of classics we’ll miss out on. Like DC’s DCAU movies & the Tomorrowverse movies that were straight to dvd movies or like Curse Of Chucky & Cult Of Chucky. Cause it’s like impossible to find movies in streaming because you don’t know what to look for & then there’s like 500 things left & right & then when they get removed they’re removed for forever. It’s brutal out here. It’ll be sad if dvds do end up going extinct after BestBuy’s bad decision.

I’m 19 & I agree

Lol. Well I only go to Best Buy for dvds so I guess that’s it now, I’ll have to stop going there completely. Cause what else am I gonna buy? Why would you need to buy TVs if you buy one once & then won’t need to replace it unless you want an upgrade or unless it gets damaged? Or phone chargers are the same thing. Dvds change every month with new theaters releases or shows that have finished their seasons on tv & go to dvd after meaning with dvds you have a reason to keep going to best buy because of it. They’re going to regret this awful decision & when they go bankrupt & close down because of this … it’ll be their fault.

@@packedentertainment2866 I agree

I’ll tell you what to do…. Stop going to Best Buy lol If enough ppl stopped going they’d go outta business or change their model. Simple Ppl just have no kahunnas today

I sell random things on ebay, you have any advice on what collector's like you are looking for?

Agreed the difference ain’t that stunning smh Ppl are idiots It’s like giving away your freedom because some nut job uses a gun wrong. Wait a minute….. we already are doing that We did it with speech, guns, etc…. The erosion of rights because of PC or safety concerns Why not stop showing films on streaming too now? Surely some bad actor is pirating it. Can’t have that. Just stop it for everyone because Johnny pirate. That’s what you do with guns and speech right? This is different because of money. That’s it

i thought i was the only one thinking that 😱🤯. but i only collect blu rays and vhs disney.

It only cant if it cant wtf lmao ....you believe with an it....youll get it a way or ...... Another way ....names for a way

Sad ❤❤

@@meahdahlgren6537why can’t dvd’s be saved? 2017 killed the fun

@@meahdahlgren6537 very, I love buying CD’s, blu-rays, and DVD’s. Because streaming movies doesn’t always have a movie you want to see all you have to pay for it to see it.

We can’t let that happen.

Even school books are going away. It's kind of sad, but they don't have a math book or a history book etc. It's all on Chromebook, or packets that the teacher hands out. Yes, they still read books and do book reports. I imagine eventually that'll be done online as well. I remember when a new school year would start and we would have to cover our school books to protect them and we would use paper grocery bags. Well, kids don't have to do that anymore because they don't have school books.

Books will never go extinct. The tactile satisfaction of turning a page is something that is too ingrained into human consciousness.

@@jengibs I hope you're right. My public library is very important to me.😊

It’s not fair there not Selling Blu-Rays & DVDs from Best Buy.

Why?

@@MorganNye find the truth on your own
