RAMROD 117,205 Posted January 24, 2025 Share Posted January 24, 2025 Sony has announced it will end Blu-ray Disc media production in February, marking the end of its nearly two-decade run. Unfortunately, it will also mark the end of optical media storage for the company; as Sony said (machine translation), there won’t be a successor model to the Blu-ray. This end-of-production announcement also affects MiniDiscs for recording, MD data for recording, and MiniDV cassettes. Although the notice is under the "Recording Media" category, the company appears to list both regular and recorded. There's room for misinterpretation due to machine translation, https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/storage/after-18-years-blu-ray-media-production-draws-to-a-close-sony-shuts-its-last-factory-in-feb (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ ᶠʳᵒⁿᵗ ᵗᵒʷᵃʳᵈ ᵉⁿᵉᵐʸ (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roughhouse Dandy 13,667 Posted January 24, 2025 Share Posted January 24, 2025 Y'all... buy physical media if you can pls. If nothing new interests you, start collecting your favorite movies/series. If the industry tanks and all that's left is digital, we're gonna start losing projects forever like in the 20's-60's. This is my Hannah Montana™️ lipgloss.

Battle 4 Ur Life 6,781 Posted January 24, 2025 Share Posted January 24, 2025 y’all this makes me sick. capitalism is failing so bad we can’t even have home entertainment. theaters are pretty much dead. we are living the dark ages again. streaming is a stanky shat compared to having your own library plus the quality is disastrous and ads omg. ”Why’d ya come around me with an ass like that?” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have many stacks of Blu-rays and DVDs. I bought another movie on Blu-ray just last week. It's my favorite way to watch movies. I better take good care of my Blu-ray and DVD players tho. I don't like the cloud because of security concerns. I live outside the space time continuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like a lot of people forget how nice it is to physically pick out one of your favorite movies and pop it in. Not having to worry about it hopping to a different streaming service or leaving all together. Available if your wifi is being annoying. Bonus features. It's wild that if you read the fine print when you "buy" VOD or a game digitally, it usually says they reserve the right to take it away from you whenever they want. If the company loses the rights or goes under? Your whole library can go away. But not with physical media 💅🏽 Buy physical media, y'all 💜 This is my Hannah Montana™️ lipgloss.

Reject False Icons 4,957 Posted January 24, 2025 Share Posted January 24, 2025 So that means the discs or the players wont be produced or everything all together this is very bad I though blu ray was gonna settle its own niche with enthusiast and collectors, like cds and vinyl plus how do they expect to sell movies if they price them $50 dollars at launch Sony is a shell of what it used to be, thanks to their own bad decisions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celloo Deng 56,354 Posted January 24, 2025 Share Posted January 24, 2025 Sad that we’re losing physical media. I have many dvds of my favourite films and tv boxsets, it’s so much more enjoyable than streaming. I also buy physical video games, vinyls and books. I hate that “owning nothing” is becoming the norm she/her 🖤 Gaga, Billie, MJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weed 79,015 Posted January 24, 2025 Share Posted January 24, 2025 Tbh if they really cared they should've started a campaign when COVID happened, pay Kylie Jenner to record herself looking through her blu-ray collection and sticking it in a player. Pay tiktokers to talk about omg I love physical media. Sad it's going away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
