I’m on Long Island , NY and my local Best Buy is a sad sight to see. Poorly stocked and has seen better days. A lot of departments have been scaled back or are non-existent - physical media. They could probably cut the square footage by a third and the store still wouldn’t look fully stocked.

The Best Buy stores in NYC are a travesty. Most have cut their Blu-ray/4k in-store inventory to about a quarter of what it was even 2 years ago. And they eliminated all CDs about 3 or so years back. A shame… there are people who WOULD buy these products IF they were available
I bought a dehumidifier there.

yup. Our 'fridge talks to us. Tells us if we screw up. Leave door open, forget to change filters etc. Also - seems to invite us to enjoy all the goodies in there via subliminal messaging

FRIDGE to RICKY: "Yo, Ricky this is your third beer and your blood alcohol level is 0.08%! Can I interest you in a chicken wing?"

I went in ours earlier this year. There were more air conditioners than anything else.
The ultimate insult was an Atmos 5.1.2 soundbar. How?
And they said they could fix my computer. Then when I went in for the appointment, they couldn't.

Looks like Best Buy is getting out of selling physical media for good. Sign of the times:

It's Black Friday, and at the local Best Buy, people are lining up around the block. A well-dressed man comes to the front of the line and is beaten up by the people in the line. He tries again and is knocked down. He then mutters "if people will be like that, I'm not opening the store."

Over here they practically stopped selling physical media a good 7 years ago. Guess now it's official.

They used to 'blow out" some of their exclusive UHD4K steelbook editions for as low as $10. Probably can no longer compete with Amazon.
What I've been told at several stores is that they just aren't selling anymore and it's becoming a niche category.
Took you over a whole year to come up with that? You’re getting slow. And I watched the highlights of your team’s game in London. They did not look like the powerhouse that they’re claimed to be…lndeed.Once again proving that Jets fans are all wet.
Not sorry, couldn't resist.
Is that all you've got. Indeed...it's crazy that Best Buy is stopping physical media.

I drove by a Best Buy a few times in Gainesville (about 85 miles from here). Never been in one.
