I dropped them almost a year ago and have been buying blu-rays with the money instead. No regrets

Just read few posts above that Blue ray is done with Sony shutting down last factory for drives. I guess it's time to stock drives ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Sony is done. Other companies still make them.

For now. But the trend is depressing and eventually it won't be profitable for anybody and one day there will be no more disc drives to buy.
