As reported by Consumer Affairs, data shows that the average price of “video discs and other media” reached $44.06 in April 2024, a 29 percent increase compared to last year. That price may only continue to rise as stores like Best Buy and Target turn away from physical media. I guess I started raiding Walmart’s $5 DVD bin at the right time!
I used to buy at least one Blu-ray a week on average. Now, I buy less than ten a year. I bet I’m not the only one there. Less demand means less supply, means higher prices. Not really surprising.
