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.

    I watched the first couple of seasons of an old anime on Netflix. Strangely they old have that. And not the rest.
    So, we're not there yet.
    But.
    From the looks of moves being made by others big media are looking to kill the market if they can't control it.
