Samsung stops releasing Blu-ray players in the US

Did you notice that Samsung hasn't made a peep about Blu-ray players at CES or other recent trade shows? There's a good reason for it: the company is exiting the category in the US. Samsung told Forbes and CNET that it's no longer introducing Blu-ray players for the country. It didn't provide reasoning for the move, but Forbes sources reportedly said that Samsung had scrapped a high-end model that was supposed to arrive later in 2019.

    CD players in cars?
    VHS/TV combos?

    I didn't think anybody even had those anymore.

    Sorry to tell you this then, but you're obviously not well informed.

    The car is the only place I use discs. Now, if I had a lot a more free time, I would hack together something with a SBC and an SSD, but for now, my aftermarket radio has 3 USB inputs, radio, CD, SD slot, bluetooth, aux input, 6 RCA channels out + factory connections. I can use all those USBs and whatnot, but CD sounds better ('m not about to download terabytes of FLAC or spend days ripping all of them, unless I had a ton of free time), it's convenient, and I already buy them from artists that I want to support.
