Wow I’m having a hard time believing that Sony of all people would abandon a technology

I’ll be sure to buy extras, since it’s clear this is yet another push towards the consumer market not deserving to own their media.

Keep in mind that though this is a blow to the industry, it’s not like optical media is just yet dead. Hell, there are still new releases to DVDs coming out today.

Downgrading from blu-ray to dvd is extremely grim.

Space jam 3! And independent film featuring bugs 🐛 and a 🐇 bunny. The Matrix Housing Crisis… A film featuring Keanu as the one. He doesn’t collect enough retirement money so he’s out there pushing a cart. We saw a preview of him in “the matrix”. That bum in the subway… anyway good movie 😂.

I’m perfectly fine with storing media on flash drives. Optical disks just adds an unnecessary step between me and enjoying my movies.

Flash loses bits of data without power
