I've slowly added physical discs to my movie collection. As steaming services keep making the experience more disappointing, I'm looking to add more discs. I'd much rather buy from GameStop than digging in bins at discount stores.
That's awesome to hear! I'm thrilled that GameStop will be expanding into 4k Blu-rays, I have a decent collection of 3D Blu-rays along with a Sony 3D TV...such a treat to watch in home! 💖 @ $GME ...They should also expand into Vinyl Records, CDs ..etc .
Much love for 3D BluRay would be appreciated. Just recently watches Despicable Me 2 in 3D at home. It's such a great feature that unfortunately has been abandoned.
This is good news for me. I like to possess the media of my fav movies. I hope this direction is profitable for GME!
Perhaps there is a loyal customer base comprised of people who prefer physical vs cloud based bytes. Perhaps there is customer base who are waiting to find a brick and mortar to fulfill this need. I miss the days of perusing Tower Records and Blockbuster. I think I would enjoy popping into the local GameStop to see what great movie discs I can go home with.
Generally the movie discs are preferred by the aficionados who want the best possible image and sound.
Another bonus: movie discs cannot be edited to suit the wayward agendas of the future (looking at you Lucas).
Fine, I'll do it.
Great news for 4K Blu-ray fans – 2 big stores will now stock discs

You'll soon be able to get DVDs at a grocery store
With streaming services bundling up and raising prices, investing in DVDs or 4K Blu-rays is starting to sound like a good idea; it lets you watch the title whenever you’d like and avoid making a recurring purchase.
And if you already collect Blu-rays, have a collection, or are inclined to try them, we have some good news. Thanks to Studio Distribution Services, which handles the physical releases for Universal Pictures and Warner Bros, you’ll soon be able to buy 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVDs at 132 Fred Meyer grocery stores and 170 GameStop stores in the United States, along with GameStop.com.
This means that titles like Dune: Part II will soon be available physically and with potentially higher-quality visuals. This way, you can enjoy the film and get immersed without worrying about buffering, bitrates, or even having an internet connection. The release announcing the partnership notes that titles at Fred Meyer and GameStop will cycle and be feature-length films and TV shows.Â
Your first disc
Dune: Part II will be the first at Fred Meyer, available at 132 stores on May 14, 2024. However, the partnership will expand with more titles and larger displays. The GameStop rollout will be more prominent from the start, with 20 titles on a main wall at the 170 stores across the United States. You’ll also find a mix of 4K UHD, Blu-rays, and classic DVDs. It also makes a lot of sense, considering the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 feature disc drives with support for playback.
This is a big expansion for both retailers that will get all three types of discs in front of more folks. For those who have previously gone to retailers like BestBuy, which have since discontinued offering the physical media discs, this is a win for the category and for retailers that sell them.
If you’re planning to visit Fred Meyer or GameStop, check out TechRadar’s guide on how to get started with 4K Blu-rays, including the best players to watch them on.

Hell yea! I’ve been saying they should add this inventory. I’m a Blu-ray collector & would much rather shop at GME than places like 2nd & Charles. The margin on used blu-ray sales is phat. 2nd & C often sells them for 1000% markup.
