Beyond the Book A Shift in the DVD Market As the market for movie distribution shifts from discs to digital content, Best Buy has announced that it will partner with Sonic Solutions to stream movies directly to consumers online. Customers would pay once for the DVD and would be able to play it on any device, from television and Blue-ray disc players to handheld media devices and smartphones.
