I stumbled across an article yesterday at Crave Online about how author Erik Norris’s quest for a new blu-ray at a Best Buy store turned into a moment of new-media frustration: Apparently, Best Buy has begun preparation for the digital revolution, downsizing their physical media--that means CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray--due to the increasing consumer interest in digitally distributed content. The space left over from compacting these mediums will be allotted to video games, namely motion control devices, and other electronics. Upon some internet searching, and because I didn’t believe the lowly Best Buy floor employee, I did manage to find an official press release issued by Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn confirming the “store reset” restructuring, although there is conflicting terminology.
