Sony Doubles Down on Officially Ditching Physical Media

It seems that Sony wants nothing to do with physical media. Just a few months after announcing the end of physical disc production for games on PlayStation consoles, the electronics giant is reportedly winding down a key part of its dedicated high-end Blu-ray player business. According to a report from FlatPanelsHD , the Japanese blog Kunkoku claims the company is discontinuing its last remaining UHD Blu-ray player in Japan, the UBP-X700/K. With the move, the PlayStation 5 will become Sony’s only 4K Blu-ray player in the country.
