Samsung stops releasing Blu-ray players in the US [engadget.com]

Did you notice that Samsung hasn't made a peep about Blu-ray players [engadget.com] 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 [forbes.com] and CNET [cnet.com] 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.
