Topic: Sainsbury's Entertainment

[Simon]

As a valued customer of Sainsbury's Entertainment website we wanted to let you know that from March 2014 our website www.sainsburysentertainment.co.uk will become completely on demand - offering music and films for downloading and films for streaming. From 28 February 2014 we will no longer accept online orders for physical products. This change is due to the rapid growth in customer appetite for on demand films, music and books.

We are aware that you have an order due from Sainsbury's Entertainment and we can assure you that we will fulfil your order.

However, we will no longer be able to accept any pre-orders for items which don't yet have a release date, or which will be released after 15 March 2014.

Sainsbury's will continue to sell DVDs, CDs, books, games and games consoles in over 1,000 stores. In addition, we are constantly expanding our Entertainment on Demand offering to bring you more films, music and books to download, or films to stream, to a range of devices.

Thank you again for shopping at Sainsbury's Entertainment.

Not good news.  I used them a lot, and they were usually cheaper than Amazon.  Another lurch down the slippery slope of the demise of physical products.   :'(

I wonder what the customer appetite will be like when a crippling virus takes out all the networks worldwide and everyone is scrabbling for their cd's and mp3 players again

Our whole lives will be cloud based soon.
