In an interview Sony gave to AV Watch recently, the company admitted it's going to "gradually end development and production" of recordable Blu-rays and other optical disc...
Eh, I doubt many people are burning their own Blu-ray discs - this does not apply to discs you buy that already have films on, they are manufactured differently, and are still being made.
But even if you do archive your personal data onto Blu-ray discs, there are still other manufacturers besides Sony.
Really though, who burns Blu rays. Yes I’m sure there’s a handful of people out there doing it but I don’t know anyone who’s still burning discs in 2024. Storage space is large and cheap now and way less hassle than discs. Companies as big as Sony can’t keep producing products for a tiny market it just doesn’t make sense.
They mentioned production movie discs are still manufactured. I said it’s just a matter of time since major studio are killing disc releases on entire continents.

This really isn’t a big deal.
Sure. One tiny bit at a time…
Who still burns discs (outside of retro gamers) in 2024, let alone Blu-Rays? They aren’t killing the whole format.

Yup. I use a NAS to not have to deal with disks. I’d rather buy a couple more drives than have to store even more stuff at home.
So Disney already stopped selling dvds/Blu-ray’s in Latin America, select Asian markets, Australia, and New Zealand…
Just a matter of time.
What does a movie company not producing movies on discs have to do with ending production of rewrite-able discs?
