    I dropped them almost a year ago and have been buying blu-rays with the money instead. No regrets

      cut one layer of the parasitic middlemen out of the loop. 👍

      the corporate noose is tightening on everyone; the rope will either fray and snap on drop or simply break our necks. I am sickened by the short-term likely outcome, because so few people are pulling out the knives and cutting at their tethers.

      Just read few posts above that Blue ray is done with Sony shutting down last factory for drives. I guess it’s time to stock drives 🤷‍♂️

          For now. But the trend is depressing and eventually it won’t be profitable for anybody and one day there will be no more disc drives to buy.

      If anyone knows of a player I can vertically mount to the wall let me know and I’ll buy it today. I see that kind of thing for CDs. It’s still just a spinning disc!
