Sony has discontinued the production of select Blu-ray recording and optical recording discs as its first step towards exiting the optical disc business as demand falls. The Tagajyo factory in Miyagi, Japan is the last remaining factory capable of producing 128 GB BDXL Blu-ray recordable discs. Sony is seeking voluntary, early retirement from 250 of 670 employees at the plant.

    I found a DAT (oh wow it’s hard not to type ‘tape’) cassette in a drawer a few days ago.

    Relevance is a fleeting topic, but I feel old now.

      I still have a few boxset CD-based games. Still have a working laptop from 2014 with a DVD-drive, so I can technically access these discs.

        Last week I found my old boxed copy of Civilization 2 for the PC in near mint condition. But there was so much dust, I almost had an asthma attack lol.
