Back in 2008 the competition between Toshiba’s HD-DVD and Sony’s Blu-ray was coming to an end. Sony won, but now they’re abandoning the format.
Sony Japan marks last standalone 4K Blu-ray player as ‘Discontinued’
Panasonic continues to sell Blu-ray players, but for how long? Are the Chinese brands like Krovatar good enough to fill the void?
I have three Sony Blu-ray players, all working. One does 4K, but I don’t have a 4K display.
I am a huge fan of Blu-ray hundreds of discs well I suppose this will mean a bigger market of used players ??
DVD replaced VHS and LaserDisc after 20 years, but this time there’s no replacement.
That is a bummer. I don’t often buy movies, but I abhor the current concept of “purchasing” movies online, where you’re really only renting the thing and the studio can rescind your right to play the movie you “bought” at any time. So yeah, I don’t always buy movies, but when I do, it’s optical media. Stay thirsty, my friends.
