discussion Sony to gradually cease production of optical disc storage media products (Blu-Ray)

[Contessa]

Oh no what will blu ray collectors do now

[Virgos Groove]

No more home video stands in stores and now no more Blu-rays. In an era where streaming services can yank off a movie just because, this is depressing.

[Katamari]

Sad

 

i would say streaming should have more robust bonus features  found on the Blu-ray's but I guess they could just upload that to YouTube or something

 

Cast commentary at least can be put on all streaming movies if it exist already  

[Subzero]

Trash.

 

I'll just keep making my own versions like I have been with my shows that never get physical releases for the last decade 

[James_Dean]

Then I won't be buying digital films unless I actually own them

The era where the digital product you buy is not really yours and can disappear at any time. 

[JonginBey]

[ScorpiosGroove]

"All movies". Who lied to you?

[Uncatena]

this is genuinely horrifying in the larger context of media preservation, with the recent shutdown of MTV News and others... 

[Loca]

Torrenting is the only solution for film preservation. Stop giving money to these corporations.

[Popboi.]

This is misleading by the way, the article is about production of CD-R, DVD-R and such, basically for homemade media storage and some rather cheaply done releases (like the CD of the Barbie soundtrack). Pressed/Manufactured media like mass released movies, games and albums are NOT affected by this.

Honestly, when RARBG shut down a few years ago it felt like the burning of the library of Alexandria

[Batsy Armada]

I hate the fact that I will know a film or television show to be streaming on one particular service, but it's gone whenever I sit down to finally watch it. I hate the streaming model and what it has become. That's why owning a physical copy of a film or television show will always be superior to streaming it, despite its supposed convenience and accessibility. Which, of course, is an illusion.

 

I, quite literally, hate the people who are making these decisions when it comes to streaming and what's on which service and when. Just put it on there and leave it alone.

It truly feels dystopian atp

[Into The Void]

Don't think I've actually bought a physical copy of a movie in about 5+ years
