We've been saying for ages that reports of the death of movie discs are premature, and it looks like Best Buy agrees with us: it's launching a new online marketplace that'll sell DVDs, Blu-Rays and UHD Steelbooks as part of a doubling of its online offering.

Starting today, Best Buy customers can find a whole lot more when shopping on BestBuy.com and through the Best Buy App. The company's digital marketplace officially launches today, more than doubling the number of products available and adding entirely new brands, categories and products that can serve more customers' needs than ever before.

It’s a low-risk, high-reward way for Best Buy to better compete with Amazon and other online outlets. And it more than doubles the retailer’s product offerings.

With the platform’s launch, Best Buy joins other retailers that have jumped on the trend of introducing or expanding third-party marketplaces.
