Digital streaming is displacing the last remnants of physical media.

In a disappointing turn of events, FlatpanelsHD reports that LG has ended production of its Blu-ray player series, which includes the UBK80 and UBK90 models. With limited stock available, prospective buyers should act quickly to secure the last remaining units before they are sold out.

After Samsung and Sony's departure from physical media, LG was one of the last major manufacturers of Blu-ray players

Bring back the MiniDisk!

I had a Minidisc recorder I would use for field audio recordings back in the 90s and I really loved the format. Small, portable, didn't fuck up like a DAT but was close enough in quality to work in most instances, and basically indestructible.

You could probably drop a Minidisc from the top of a skyscraper and put it back in the player after dusting it off and there wouldn't be an issue.
