This is the landscape in which the sad state of home video
continued deteriorating in 2024. Best Buy ceased carrying DVDs
this year. Target followed suit. Redbox rented its final Liam
Neeson movie and shuttered its kiosks in July. Finally, LG
announced just last week that it would discontinue all its UHD
Blu-ray and Blu-ray players, joining Samsung and Sony in
ditching the optical drive.

Physical Media will not die.

Depends what YOU mean by "Physical Media", Gobble-de-gook.
 I mean Computer/PVR Hard-drives ARE 'Physical Media', aren't they?? Perhaps YOU, Gobble-de-gook, meant *Removable* 'Physical Media'!!

I don't see anyone selling those pre-recorded with TV shows and movies in the shops, or even SDXD cards which are now cheaper per GB than those stupid Blu-ray things. All the more reason to torrent stuff you've already paid for if the studios won't replace your legacy media with new media which you can still play.
