Target, a major American retailer, has announced plans to discontinue in-store sales of DVDs and Blu-rays by 2025. This decision aligns with the increasing popularity of streaming services and the decreasing demand for physical media formats. Target will continue to offer DVDs and Blu-rays at specific times of the year and for limited releases.
Target will be phasing out physical media sales in their stores, following a trend among major retailers. The retailer will only stock DVDs during select times, such as Black Friday sales and new releases for major films. The website will continue to sell DVDs. This move comes as streaming services become more popular and consumers become more aware of the licensing restrictions associated with digital media purchases.
