From the post:

>Sony has announced it will end Blu-ray Disc media production in February, marking the end of its nearly two-decade run. Unfortunately, it will also mark the end of optical media storage for the company; as Sony said (machine translation), there won’t be a successor model to the Blu-ray. This end-of-production announcement also affects MiniDiscs for recording, MD data for recording, and MiniDV cassettes. Although the notice is under the "Recording Media" category, the company appears to list both regular and recorded. There's room for misinterpretation due to machine translation, so we've reached out to Sony for clarification

Just another step in the direction of you don't actually own anything you pay for.

That was my thought. "No one wants physical media anymore".

Incorrect. You want to "Rent" things to me and keep me from having a physical copy they can revoke or modify any time they want.

Are there any great pieces of blu-ray equipment made by Sony thay should be bought now before they are gone off of shelves?

I have this: Manufacturer: ASUS Product: BW-16D1HT

It's a blu-ray read/write drive but you can flash it with the libre firmware so you can use it for ripping blu-ray's that you normally can't with some locked-firmware drives.

Not sony made but you do have a good point.
