Tell me why this wouldn't be one easy-win bolt on accessory that would fold into the PowerUps reward subscription (a la Prime Membership) AND add move value to the Buy/Sell/Vault with Lend/Rent aspects as well. With the move to a no disc future...this becomes scarce inventory.
GameFly is the sleeper asset nobody's pricing. On paper it's a $35M rental relic with seven employees, buried inside a $283M distributor that the market still files under "DVD company." But look at what it actually *is*: two decades of catalogued, condition-tracked, physical game inventory, plus a subscriber base with rental history, plus the operational bones of a logistics model that already knows how to move discs to doors. That's not a dying rental business. That's a pre-built pre-owned games infrastructure sitting at rental-depreciation book value while the collectibles market revalues physical media above it.
Now stack the conversation's threads on top. Cohen confirmed on All-In that pre-owned and collectibles *is* the whole strategy. Stop Killing Games is turning "digital ownership is fake" into a consumer movement, which pushes people back toward physical. Legacy titles are appreciating as digital storefronts delist them. GameStop has 1,600 stores that could be dark-store fulfillment nodes and a DoorDash partnership that collapses the one fatal flaw — delivery speed — that killed the mail model. Fold GameFly into PowerUp: rent tonight by DoorDash, buy it if you love it, sell it through eBay when you're done, authenticate the graded stuff through the PSA Vault pipeline Power Packs already built. The full physical-game lifecycle captured inside one membership, and GameFly's the rental engine that makes the "try before you own" front door work.
And the price to acquire the entire holding company that owns it? $283M. A rounding error, a phone call after eBay closes, the CEO buying his own stock under $4 while insiders hold 94%.

My last gen Xbox is also my blueray/DVD player. I dont watch many dvds these days but I would certainly not upgrade my Xbox if it meant also needing a new DVD player.
Add to the fact that sony recently told its customers that a selection of their purchased digital content will be erased and you have a recipe for success with happy customers.

Can’t buy a DVD when they don’t manufacture them

One of my coworkers needed work software on her laptop, and we only have it on CD-ROM (she didn't know what that is). Her laptop doesn't have a drive, so I brought my external CD/DVD burner from home. She didn't know what that was either. I think that's a sign we're getting old.

I'm surprised it took so long for this to happen. I totally get the appeal of having physical media but I can't really say I miss it. Gone are the days of having 20% of my TV room space occupied by storage for bulky CDs and DVD cases. I love having a minimalist living room with just a TV and a small PC hidden in the cabinet hooked up to my local streaming rig with all my games, TV shows, and movies at the click of a button. I haven't played a console game since 2015 and PC moved away from entirely in like 2009, so it's time for them to get up to speed.

Of course the implications for consumer rights / ownership are horrible but you didn't really "own" your games even if you had a disc these days. Lots of games releasing now are far too big to fit to fit on the disc anyway so the disc is nothing more than a waste of plastic. Hell apparently you can't even play the campaign in modern Call of Duty without an active internet connection

Just furthering the divide between the consumer class who owns nothing and the "other" class who simply doesn't support these business practices and finds enjoyment through other mediums. Your movie is releasing on streaming services only? Ok, I'm not watching it. The game requires online always? Not playing it.

Just to be pedantic, a Blu Ray or DVD is also digital.

The goal is to make money. Anything else is just noise. Discipline, patience, strategy, psychology...that is all noise sold to you first by writers and authors, then TV , followed by youtubers and now tiktokkers and AI to make you buy whatever book, video, DVD, course, pdf, software ...they are selling. Don't focus on anything else but making money. Stop trying to define your struggles because where your mind goes so will the outcome. Define your strengths.
