Boutique media distributors still exist for the limited audience still wanting physical media. For that I am grateful. Best Buy is cutting their losses, we live in a digital age, sad as it is for those who love collecting.

I'll be really bummed when the next gen game consoles are 100% digital and that be that for game collecting. Alas, nothing lasts forever.
