After 18 years, Sony's Blu-ray media production draws to a close — shuts its last factory in Feb

"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."

And so it begins... the fall of physical media discs. It will probably take some time, and perhaps when all but one drop, that last one may corner the remaining bit of the market and be able to survive.

Sadly, all good things must come to an end..

Cloud (streaming) is the way now...
