Bad news for home theater enthusiasts

Disney is ending all DVD and Blu Ray releases down under for Australia and New Zealand which may be a harbinger of what can eventually happen to the rest of the world. Their last release will be Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3. From now on it's streaming only for them.

It's a good read for those with a big investment in physical media as streaming still can't match the quality and the big players just don't care as there'll be one less product to make.

Are we going to see a run on blu ray players with prices going through the roof again like we did when OPPO decided to call it quits? My OPPO BDP-103 is old and the mid level Panasonic DP-UB820-K is starting to look a bit desirable right now. 

All the best,

@fredrik222 That was the lamest of apologies ever (lies, slander and spin) but it'll do. Coming from you, that's the best anyone could hope for. 

All the best,

@nonoise  It wasn't an apology, no idea how you thought that. 

 

But consider yourself educated, again, about the best video platform out there. Not that it will matter in the future, see previous point about your willingness to learn.

And that folks, is what's know as saving face masked in a parting shot while whistling past the graveyard.

... insanely silly to talk about price on a forum where people spends tens of thousands on a power cable.... 

It's always reasonable to discuss price and value here. Many audiophiles will not even consider a $10K power cable. And quite a few here haven't even spent that much on speakers.
