Wait, Sony is ceasing MiniDiscs too? Betamax is still safe though, right? May I suggest tracking this website then? https://www.lddb.com/ Report

March 15, 20251 yr comment_953817 Sony releases its first new Blu-ray player in 5 years, the updated UBP-X700/K (lacking networking and streaming features). The growing demand for the sold-out optical disc attachment for the PlayStation 5 may have told them that people still want 4K Blu-ray. It looks like a stripped-down player, lacking analog audio out, unlike a fancy box like the expensive Panasonic DP-UB9000PC: Edited March 15, 20251 yr by HiWire Report

Especially ones with sand. https://viavision.com.au/shop/dune-1984-limited-edition-sandbox-4k-uhd-3-disc-blu-ray-imprint-collection-426/?srsltid=AfmBOoqKuPw9nvK8XEuyf92EvTV1yyFFEKfXZ_M_OAP-yIg4vJ2Y7Zaf# https://diabolikdvd.com/product/dune-limited-sandbox-edition-imprint-4k-uhd-blu-ray-all-region-preorder/ Report

September 3, 20251 yr comment_961696 Perhaps this will prompt Panasonic to finally add SACD playback on a DP-UB9000PC successor... probably not. Edited September 3, 20251 yr by HiWire Report
1 hour ago1 hr comment_972690 I read the news that Sony shipped their last 4K Blu-ray player today, the UBP-X700.Panasonic is the last remaining mainstream manufacturer (Magnetar is niche and overpriced, in my opinion).https://www.tomsguide.com/tvs/sony-just-killed-its-last-4k-blu-ray-player-here-are-3-remaining-alternatives Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by HiWire Report
