Things aren't looking good for physical discs on Xbox, first we heard that Best Buy may be removing them from stores, now this leaked memo suggesting that Walmart will begin closing out Xbox discs, starting with Starfield by selling remaining stock at a mere 3 cents and disposing of any unsold discs. 

I’m sure the trend is happening but this article is bullshit. Just go into Walmart and you won’t find Starfield for $0.03 lol.

Discount was supposed to start today but some stores could be late. Supposedly the leaked internal memo from Walmart has now been corroborated by multiple sources.

Edit: Ok, did some more research into it and it looks like the 3 cents was only an internal mark-down to flag Starfield copies for disposal, not to actually sell them to customers at 3 cents.

People went into their local Walmarts to try and buy Starfield for 3 cents today only to find that Walmart now has Starfield marked as unsellable in their inventory system, when people asked if they could buy a copy at all they were told by the employees that Starfield can no longer be sold to customers because they have to take the remaining copies from the shelves and backroom and dispose of the copies by February 5th, as per the above leaked memo.

So basically instead of selling their remaining stock of Starfield to gamers at a discounted price (whether it be $30, $20, $10 or whatever), they are going to just give it the E.T. landfill treatment pretty much. What a shame.
