ExtremeTech is reporting that if you want to purchase a physical copy of Star Wars: The Last Jedi on Amazon for your collection, you are out of luck unless you are an Amazon Prime member. Both the Blu-ray and DVD copies of the movie are listed as "Exclusively for Prime members" on Amazon, in addition Beauty and the Beast, Thor: Ragnarok, and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 are all restricted to Prime members and Prime members only.
Interesting choice by Amazon for sure, ExtremeTech makes an interesting argument in the quote below. Fortunately though The Last Jedi sucked, so the chances of actually wanting to buy it are slim.
Best of all, Amazon knows that while you may wind up going to Target or Best Buy eventually, you’ll visit Amazon first. The company’s overwhelming domination of the online sales market give it the effective right of first refusal - by which we mean that if shoppers default to checking Amazon first, Amazon is essentially "deciding" if it wants those visitors as shoppers.
