Well, that's it for Sony, not buying any new films or shows from them, because streaming isn't owning.

Are we sure that the article is not only refering to recordable media?
As I understand it discs are also used to make a copy of digital purchaces, and other data back up
So we will all have to use 'other brands'.

Lewis, the article text is written in a way that suggests the production of movies on Blu-ray Disc is ending. It isn’t.

This news is simply the actioning of Sony’s previously announced discontinuation of recordable blanks (burned discs).

It has absolutely no bearing on the professionally replicated BD-ROM movie discs that you’d buy in a high street shop (or online, as is increasingly the case).

Typical of journalists that are meant to have a serious education, they have to write content that distorts and misleads.

Only a thought, does anyone know which camp M-O-D titles, as in manufactured on demand rather than mod music related stand in?


Yes I know there is a message waiting for me, ref the envelope with a red 1.
I will read it when time allows

For goodness sake, I'm sick of publications misleading people. It's ceasing production of recordable consumer discs - the blu-ray equivalent of CD-Rs - and not the discs used to print pre-recorded media.

It's like these publications rely on click-bait... ugh

For the few MOD titles that are actually individually burned onto BD-Rs, they still won’t be affected, because to the best of my knowledge, the companies duplicating those are not using Sony media anyway.
