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.

In addition to that, the twenty minute wait for loading a new disk that I saw on a friend's gen 1 Sony BluRay player indicated that the format was something I was never going to buy, players or disks. To this day I've never purchased a bluray player or a bluray disk.
