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." |
Terrible news seems people like us who buy a physical product are a endangered species. Mind I don't think it will be a huge success they think it will be they can't compete with iTunes or likes of Netflix etc.
Edit
Company's will never emit it but pirating is a lot higher than those who use Netflix, iTunes etc. most people I know would much rather have a physical copy of something they pay for than digital, to most people it still feels like they don't own something and most will end up pirating than using those services
