Sony exits UHD Blu Ray Player market completelyThey really are done with physical media
4K movie discs will become even more expensive than the retro gaming market in the future.
this is fine. the human eye can't see above YIFY quality anyway.
>>750133923
the fuck is even worth watching beyond the dvd era?
why does it feel like these corps are winding down for the end
>>750133923Sony's UHD players just weren't as good as Panasonic's equivalents so they were forced out. Sony's consumer electronics haven't been Trinitron tier good for decades at this point.
What are good BD players right now?
>>750134009Quick, give me your must own 4K Blu-rays?
>>750133923Something serious is happening at sony.They have been a top tier consumer electronics company for decades and over the past decade they look as if they are leaving the entire industry.Stopped making laptops (viao)Looks as if their phones are made third party. Shame too because I have used sony phones since the xpress music days. Decades.Their TV model choices are very low, also getting hard to find.
>>750134684Because they are, and they are being directed to. Something big is coming and it's going to involve a lot of people disappearing.
>>750134684What are they supposed to do?. no one buys blu-rays anymore
>>750135556seems like the only sony hardware that sells these days is playstation and maybe their audio stuff
Isn’t this because the patent’s about to expire?
>>750135604While WW3 is inevitable as too is the extinction of humanity. You are just having a tin foil hat tier view.We all have that retarded outlook when we are children. Just egotism and the intoxication of youth,Just wait, you will see with age, You are completely unimportant, the world doesnt revolve around you and will keep spinning long after you are gone.>>750135719I think they are still at the high end of audio equipment.They obviously have movies and music. The spiderman movie just made billions.
>>750133923Let's be honest. None of this matters considering there won't be any new entertainment media worth owning anyway. If you were gonna buy blurays of old movies, you'd have bought them by now or already have.
>>750135604Surely you know? No one is needed once the robots are here. The elites will wipe out all lower middle and upper classes. The robots will keep the economy (for fun) going and they live and enjoy the remaining time earth has before being destroyed by the sun.
>>750135840You don't understand the time period you are living in if you are still thinking like this.
can I get a qrd on how I should be building out a physical media station? I'm kinda sick of subscription services. Should i get this before scalpers buy them up? how should i go about buying blue ray discs? thanks in advance
>>750133923The consumer is done with physical, not the indutryRemember when rental movie stores died?Remember when music stores died?Gaming just follows the natural process since stable and fast internet speed is available everywhere.Next step is cloud gaming and there's nothing you can do to stop this.
>>750136510I wouldnt bother. Just get rips of stuff and run them off drives. Discs wear and tear over time plus disc rot plus the players wear and tear no one will have parts to repair it. I had a panasonic one latest one below the 1000 one, 400ish and it broke panasonic themselves wont repair it said they cant same as local repair guys.
>>750136286This is what I mean. you are a child.You think like there is some dramatic shit going on in the world and you some special person and this period of humanity is "the big one"Its just your childish view of the world, because you are a child, suffering egotism and intoxicated by youth.We all get like that when we are children.Nothing is gonna happen. The "time we are living in" are no different from any other time. Same bullshit is happening in the world that has been happening for millennia and will continue to happen well after you and I are dead.
>>750136701NTA but>most people living paycheck to paycheck if they're lucky>rent and housing market both out of control, largely inaccessible to a majority of the population>MSM completely untrustworthy>rampant and unchecked homelessness>drugs pouring into US>no point in voting anymore, every elected official sucks and acts in their own interests in the open, not even trying to hide it anymore>jewish tricks intensifying every dayHow is this generation not neck deep in shit?
>>750136510Get a Panasonic DP-UB820EB or whatever is in the 500€ range in your country. You can go lower like a Xbox One S if you feel so inclined and then work your way up from there to real players. Buy 4k movies you feel like rewatching from time to time. That's all there's to it.
>>750135840You and the elites are also unimportant. Just a bunch of monkeys throwing feces at each other.
>>750136563Im still buying physical when I can just because of my autistic fixation with plastic boxes and circles. I buy alot. I am aware rationally it makes no sense. But you cant blame the end of physical on me that's for sure.If anything games make the least amount of sense as a physical item, because they are actually programs. They were born as a program inside a computer unlike other medias that were "made digital" overtime. It isnt a song you listen to or a movie you watch passively it is software you use. Software that users "mod" and "update".
>>750136701>>750136563>>750135840>>750135556This is the best pissrael can do btw.
>>750136563There's actually alot what you can do to avoid this in your own personal life if you aren't willing to be a complete slave. I know that's hard for most people.
>>750136563>Remember when music stores died?This didn't happen btw. There are more vinyl shops than video game or movie stores these days.
>>750137212>Im still buying physical when I canUnfortunately we're a minority anon. I wouldn't say "rationally it makes no sense" when stuff gets pulled offline all the time, unless you mean you should just pirate and keep digital copies.
>>750137456Yeah I cringed when I read that. This board is so out of touch.
>>750133923>people stop buying thing>WOW I CANT BELIEVE THIS HEARTLESS COMPANY WOULD STOP MAKING THING!!! The cattle leading themselves to the slaughter and then blaming the butcher
>>750137509I'll remember your pathetic demoralized ass the next time I visit my triumvirate of game, movie and vinyl brick and mortar stores in my walkable city. Must be hard being circumcised.
>>750137456Used CDs are trading like shitcoins right now. Aja is one of the most popular albums of all time and they printed a brazzilion of them and they went from being so cheap and easy to find that you could use them as drink coasters and now they're 30 bucks.
>>750137724You're not even going to be alive at that point.
>>750133923One of these days there will be no more BD rips...
Did you see the Wicked movie? It was pretty good. A lot of lessons were learned.
>>750137870t-tomorrow afternoon?
>>750134684Globalist Agenda 2030 includes a MASSIVE depopulation campaign. I'm talking "billions must die" but 179 countries in the world all signed up for it and said "yeah that's true let's do it."Everything fucked up and evil you're seeing in the news, twitter, TV, anywhere is all because of this.
>>750137857zoomers are picking up CDs after millenials blew the ass of vinyl wide open
>>750138005ThisGet right with God if you haven't already because the time is approaching. These people think they're winning but they're not.
>>750137857Exactly. This "normies don't want physical anymore" doesn't add up
>>750137289The "best they can do" is buy out everyone with Babylonian Money Magic via fictional numbers and then destroy the entire world because they've taken advantage of white people's suicidal empathy.And it worked.
>>750134604Thanks YIFY
>>750134679
>>750138145You and they haven't realized that what happens here is irrelevant because the soul lives on through God. Jews and their golems won't be seeing him, though.
>>750138082To them it's hipster shit like vinyls were to us.Vinyls are cool btw.
>>750135556They leave where they could no longer compete. Their TV division is next it seems.Funny you mentioned xperia, most of the (small) lineup are still designed in house, they are super overpriced with low sales and yet they continue to stay in the business.
>>750133923>creates this shitty ass format>abandons itGod I hate sony
>>750133923You can't hate this dogshit company hard enough
>>750134604lol, except when there’s any sort of movement and the bitrate can’t keep up
>>750133923Guys! We're so close! Sony is clearly bending to the pressure of us gamers and we're going to see Sony bring back physical discs for the PlayStation in 2028. They're going to reverse course any day now!
I need to buy more storage but i dont want to
>>750136943>How is this generation not neck deep in shit?Anon. Literally everything you said, the world has been like that for many generations.>>750137174We are all unimportant. Only a moron things they have some great use.I like to use the analogy of "dave smith" who had 6 kids and a successful job and did good for his community...why have you never heard of him...because hes fucking anybody. Even people we "know" like say leonardo da vinci...is nobody.The more important subject is how to escape this prison, though that is a different subject.I am only mentioning because ignorant children who suffer from egotism think they are important and the centre of the universe and "this time we are living in is special" when in reality its just the same bullshit that has always been going on.There are shit people in the world, who suffer from an endless greed and they use others to fulfill their desires etc.Shit like I said above, WW3 and the extinction of humanity is inevitable but even if it happened tomorrow (WW3) its just the same bullshit that has been going on since the dawn of man.The real "big time" is if humanity DOESNT kill itself, we will inevitably run out of resources.It is increasing and humanity will hit overpopulation eventually.That is millennia in the future at this rate not "the times we are living in" as some retard anon above thinks is special.
>>750138393I've always been a CD millenial. I use my 1990s video game systems like the Sega CD to play discs just for the fuck of it. I also have a soft spot to 1990s and early 00s music visualizers.
>>750138548No one is gonna pay over a grand for a console. The industry will have to regress.
>>750138587>I also have a soft spot to 1990s and early 00s music visualizers.Yeah pressing select on the Playstation 1 for the visualizers was cool as fuck.
>>750138586Shut up retarded thirdie.
>>750138323Here is just as important as whatever heaven you expect to be going to. Giving up here because you believe God will wipe your dirty ass is Sloth. It's a sin.
>>750137463Well when games get delisted you can still download them if you purchased them. Even when consoles lose their stores like Wii U and Xbox 360 you can still download past purchases if you have your account.And if the servers actually do go down 100% for these old ill have no interest in playing the shitty unpatched disc build of a game. Ill figure something out. Im sure modders have something going on.
>>750138743You so badly want someone to kick your satanic ass but I don't need to. You've already kicked your own ass.
>>750134670please stop with this boomer shit where certain types of storage media are real and others are fakehaving a copy of a movie on a hard drive is exactly the same amount of "ownership" as having a copy of a movie on a disc
>>750138548I find it funny how it's news in 2026 when they closed their factory in 2025
>>750138985No it's not.
Physical media is dead. Ownership is not.Buy a NAS today. Rip all your physical media content onto it. Pirate/crack/emulate games and films. Seek digital options that give you the actual files rather than streaming or using DRM clients.
>>750134684>AI bubble popping in the next few years with only local models remaining, because the datacenter buildout is a Ponzi scheme that is going to fail to double up soon>Final flipout of major publishing corps when a lot of early and iconic capeshit goes public domain in 2030>Taiwanese hardware corps get hit with real antitrust suits>AI renders software copyright and the DMCA unenforceable>Regulations finally catch up to international digital distribution and these corpos can't just make up their own fantasy lawsThe current situation is precariously balanced, best not to get caught with fingers in too many pies.>>750136563Cloudshit doesn't make sense. Every prior step ultimately still involved more convenient ways to buy and rent things that come under your control.Cloudshit is just digital media + rentseeking, it's not better than what came before and this kind of shit was routinely rejected even for physical media or do you remember divx as anything other than a meme?
>>750138423>continue to stay in the business.Apparently they are not in house, Its third party. apparently, idk the facts.I mentioned xpress music. Not xperia. Latter being their more recent line.Sony obviously being a high quality audio tech company they made the better audio phones and I stuck with their phones ever since. i use their TVs too. My 1080 is over a decade old and perfectly fine. Only paid 400 for it to.Like I am at a point where I have to force myself to buy a new one soon only because 1080 is old tech and I will need 4k and HDR etc for next console gen.s for their phone business, if you remember, they took over ericsons in the 90s and been making phones ever since but yeah they seem to look like they are bowing out.I literally cant even find a contract phone for sony phones in my country and only recently had I seen their newer models on the website dont say out of stock.Apparently they are supposedly bowing out of the market in EU.Again, apparently (rumors etc)
>>750134684AI is going to decimate large parts of "entertainment" industry.
>>750139050You're right, you aren't shackled with DRM on a BDrip.
>>750139005That was for writable media. Which pretty much nobody was using.
>>750138929I'm not religious, I'm trying to help you understand yours. Unless you're falseflagging trying to make Christians look bad, in which case you're doing a good job.
>DONT PIRATE PRAY ON ORIGINAL HARDWARE USE THE DISKS!!>*no more disks*>NOOOOO I NEED TU GO TO MIDNIGHT LAUNCH AND BUY DISKU IN SHOPPU AIEEEEE FOR MY CORRECTIONBrainwashed japs on suicide watch they still use floppy disks and fax
>>750138723>shows profound understanding and elegance of reality>hurrr durrrr its a thirdyNow you have just outed yourself as a dickless retard (muttmerican) and actual thirdy.
>>750139058>>750138985>>750139050In theory that's 100% correct. However, we've seen instances where Sony has revoked access to purchased movies because of rights issues. They were in fact able to take them back, making it not ownership.This is because you didn't own a copy of the files. You owned a 'license' on an online Sony/Playstation service to stream it from them. There's a DRM scheme there fucking it over.If you have the .mp4/WMV/MKV/Webm/whatever, you actually own it. Considering you can store that on storage arrays with redundancy, you have a more secure long-term ownership of it than someone who just has it on a disk anyway.
>>750139126AI's economic crash and burn is going to decimate large parts of the entire economy.
>>750139249Then you shouldn't be talking then.
So it has no games and now you can't play DVDs on it. What use does it have?
>>750139628Why not? If you're going to spread falsehoods and demotivational speeches about how we should give up and let evil win, you do not represent the religion you claim, and therefore you must be stopped. You cannot be allowed to get away with that.
>>750139336You're rambling nonsense and incapable of having proper grammar, you're definitely a brown thirdie with a chip on his shoulder. Sorry if I touched a nerve pointing it out.
>>750135184Magnetar MK II
>>750139112xpress music is a nokia trademarkxperia has been around for about 15 yearsThe Xperias (most of them) are designed in house, part of the reason why they're so expensive. Up until recently they were even made in sony factories. Of course sony couldn't possible have the vertical integration of apple or samsung but it's not like they were just rebranding ODM phones.>audioAt least the xperias have never been particularly good at audio imo, LG has them beat with the V series.>TVsI would unironically get a sony if I could afford it despite the poor apparent value. I get much more hardware for the money with a TCL but the software is just godawful.
like always pirating is the best choice
>>750133923Was Sony's UHD even good? Genuinely asking, I don't know what their standing is regarding any other tech hardware they manufacture outside of Playstation.
>>750140493the panasonic one was better
>>750140118I am not a brand loyal super fan but I use the islamic concept of when you have a good X you stick with them, X being whatever, barber, doctor, baker etc So in that way I stick with what is working fin and with phones and TV sony has done me fine.Same with PS though its a tool, its the vidya I care about, not the hardware.I am not a muzzy FYI just they have this expression in their faith and it mirrors my own ethics in that subject.I use the same shops IRL that serve me well. Its about community service and helping one another. Though in products case that is on a grander scale.Economics, Supporting with your wallet from vendors you trust.
>>750138231>doesn't name anythingBruh, your media literacy, though.
>>750141096You needed islamics to teach you that? Loyality where good service is provided? Are you a total fucking retarded diaper eating shitter? What a fucking faggot you are anon.
>>750138005>enact communismkek you've been gorging on propaganda haven't you?we're headed for turbocapitalism (aka feudalism. and jews are kings)
>>750134684They telegraphed the end of physical ownership ages ago. They want to be the only way people can consume media so they can charge you in perpetuity.
>>750134684I'm going to vaguepost: Epstein changed the world in ways you can't imagine.
>>750141096>stick with stuff that's goodIsn't that pretty universal?
>>750141536>needed islamics to teach you thatSo you are an ESL.Let me guess. Penisless?Must be one of those mutts to be that retarded and dont understand my peoples language.You cockless retards disgust me.Stop posting.STFU and sit the fuck down when humans are speaking you dirty dickles sub human.
>>750133923Physical media for TV and movies has had its days numbered since the inception of internet streaming so not surprising in the least. Surprised it took this long honestly.
>>750139909money extractor for rentcuck goycattle
>>750141596You misunderstand. Communism means human beings are treated as cattle (exactly as you describe) while the jews are Kings and exempt.The Bolsheviks were jews. Communism is inherently jewish. They poisoned and corrupted capitalism to destroy it.
>>750141681idk but I have never heard of any stanza or expression conveying the concept except from islam.Its not a defined concept from chriistianity or philosophy.
>>750138005I think it was called Project 2025. Which has been an unmitigated disaster so far.
Just Stop Noticing And Be Happy
>>750141985There are also reports of it initially being planned for 2050 but someone convinced them to "ACCELERATE!"
>>750142109>The japanese obey authority without questionAbe disagrees
>>750136696I have dvds from the mid to late 2000s and they still work fine. There is no such thing as disc rot.
>>750135739>Isn’t this because the patent’s about to expire?I've heard this as well and it tracks well with their MO over the past 40 years, dropping their tape, 3.5" floppy disk, and CD-ROM formats basically 20 years to the day after they introduced them and licensed them to the rest of the industry, even when they were still selling strong. It just stings more this time because they aren't replacing Blu-Ray with another medium despite researchers demonstrating big advances in optical and magnetic medias are possible with the right corporate backing. This signifies a total shift to digital media either for business reasons and/or because Sony's in-house engineering talent has completely withered away since the PS3 era.
>>750142275Abe was killed because he wasn't sticking to the plan that would justify mass immigration. You don't get assassinated for being a bad guy.
>>750141716You pray bending over with mens asses in your face faggot.
>>750140012You're an atheist and an idiot. You shouldn't be talking.
>>750142109Not only were there less than 4 billion people on the planet in 1972 but the population has grown by 4 billion since then. With a projected growth of an additional 2 billion by 2050.
>>750138005>depopulation campaign.If it's a depopultation campaign why are they not flat out nuking africa and stealing all their resources or inciting a full blown world war? Africans are still multiplying like rabbits while bringing nothing of value and syphoning governmentbux and wars are gay splintered dronefests with barely a few thousands dying. World population still overgrowing by the way we are on track to the dreaded 10 billion.
>>750142772>doubles down on showing us all how much of an ESL retard he isDamn, Guaranteed to be a cockless mutt being that retarded.You freaks disgust me.
>>750141716Thats the base of all trade since trade began retard. Again needing a goat fucker to teach you that is retarded.
>>750142880Because africans are easier to control.White people have a history of higher intelligence, create great things, and rebel. They do not want rebels. They want cowards, hypocrites and easily farmable cattle.White people are targeted for elimination for being hard to control.
>>750142880Because that's not how things work. Same reason the vaccines were a slow kill bioweapon. If the shots instantly killed everyone who took them it would be too suspicious.
>>750139050>go to watch mp4>it just works>go to watch bluray disc on bluray player plugged in to my capture card>it trips drm and doesn't let me watchHMMMnow watch the ignorant retards pretend they don't know anything about this lmao
>>750142976>quadruples down on being an ESL retardPlease stop fucking posting ranjeet.You are just running around in circles and will never understand anything as you are an eternal fucking retard.
>>750142783Imagine believing in ancient campfire stories. Lmao. You are in a cult you fucking donkey.
>>750141985There is no Project 2025, only Agenda47.
>BluRay playerI just use my PS5Actually thats all I use my PS5 for kek
>>750142109>Schizopost (old)
>>750143094You think you're the first to harbor such stupid views? You'll wake up eventually, or not.
>>750139050>this tech illiterate>thinking security protocols on his discs mean owning ita physical DVD/Bluray disc is just the digital copy behind DRM security. Having it on your harddrive means you don't need to bypass by that shit in order to remove it off the piece of media. You're a fool.
>>750142983Ok, but that's like being a farmer and insted of cows you are raising snapper turtles you are getting an ever multiplying pest that will eventually eat up your shit while overpopulating savagely.>>750142993>it would be too suspicious.There is plenty of examples of overtly suspicios shit they have done and the goycattle ignored the next day, by now public awareness is irrelevant.
>>750143079Dual me faggot I'll destroy you
>>750143308I agree that it was always apparent that the shots were poison but not enough for the average sheep. Some people will just never admit that they were lied to because it hurts their ego.
>>750142993>vaccines were a slow kill bioweaponjesus fucking christ you are stupid.I swear all this q-anon shit should be studied. retards just cannot accept they are retarded so they make up a bunch of nonsense to """prove""" they are smarter than everyone else.nope can't just be that you are brainless cattle, you got it alllllll figured out lmao
>>750143281People still owned their media back then. It having warning labels and shit on it didn't stop people from making copies or selling said copies. Do zoomers even know what bootlegs are? People used to go around selling bootleg vhs tapes and dvds and got away with it. Good luck doing that now.
>>750138393>Vinyls are cool btw.Only faggot hipsters thought that. And only people I ever saw who owned vinyls that weren't just leftover stuff from their parents house were onions eating faggots.
>>750143308It's not smart at all. The world economic forum's NWO/Globalist agenda is fundamentally flawed in a way that will directly lead to the destruction of all human beings on earth.Whether that's an intentional "backdoor" design flaw by the Satanist cabal, ancient solar worship cult or whatever group believes they are truly in control, I don't know. But it's stupidity. And the 5th horseman of the apocalypse is Retarded.
>>750143427Flu shot kills 4 for every million. Covid was 25 for every million. So a billion shots kills 25,000 just from the shot.( as in few days/week from shot).
>>750143267buddy you think a magical man in the sky watches your every move and you whisper to yourself at night pretending you're talking to him. you straight up have an imaginary friend hahaha
>>750143519You're the retard. People are still dying to them and there's evidence of it if you know where to look. It's no coincidence that all these people even the popular ones are suddenly coming down with turbo cancers and blood clots and shit. It's a planned depopulation agenda and nobody is safe from it not even the useful idiots who thought they were.
>>750142109book?
>>750143634Ironically, you are a victim of government propaganda.
>>750134679What a stupid thing to say
>>750143705They literally don't need a vaccine to kill people. There's plastic in our drinking water and they build houses in Nevada in areas affected by nuclear fallout.I like your lil fanfic ideas, don't get me wrong, but the reality is much more nefarious with much less of an agenda.

>>750143589>People used to go around selling bootleg vhs tapes and dvds and got away with it.And those bootleg VHS's were usually of poor quality (due to reception or tape itself) or recorded over something else. I use to save up money as a kid and get copies of Japanese shows in late 90's (like Dragon Ball) on bootleg at an import shop. They were shit quality.Meanwhile I can just simply copy and paste movies onto cheap as shit flash drives and distribute them with ease
>>750143705>there's evidence of it if you know where to lookThe mental ward is a treasure trove of all sorts of information, I'm sure. "Depopulation agenda" retarded ass schizo shit that constantly sheds its skin as the billions keep climbing uncontrollably.
>>750144214Oh I'm definitely leaving, just not yet.
>>750144214No one said you can't shitpost from Heaven.
>>750144220>distribute them with easeYeah sure. They have cameras everywhere now so it's only a matter of time before you're caught.
>>750144228My favorite part about schizos is they spend more time schizoing on the internet rather than learning how to court the opposite sex in order to have children.
>>750133923Before the AIpocalypse, saving movies into HDDs were far more practical.Sony just assumes the consumers would rather watch streams instead of taking it to the high seas where they would own the data they plunder.
>>750144329And even if you were on camera giving a usb drive to somebody, how exactly would that conclude I was giving that person movies to watch?

>>750144228>billions keep climbing uncontrollablyYou're listening to propaganda. They're mind controlling you so that you become more comfortable with what they are doing, which is like I've said already a depopulation agenda.
>>750144256>>750144305No one leaves hell.

When companies will want people to pay for streaming, smart people simply know how to download shit. This is just like music, only retarded faggots use spotify, smart people know how to download mp3s. What is alarming is back in the day on /mu/, there were ton's of threads with mediafire links to album and now this has behavior has been replaced with streaming links. Basically, the average person gets dumber overnight.

>>750144335>just have children so we can take them from you and rape them and torture them for our benefit while you rot in prison.Yeah nah. You lost that battle already.
>>750134670This. This is the best way to make people slaves. If you own nothing they just threaten to take things away unless you do as you're told. It's why cashless societies are the ultimate goal.
Alright cool, so the PS5 will become significantly cheaper now that they're saving money, right?

>>750144623In about 2 weeks. This thread will be long since closed by then and we'll all forget about this conversation, so there will no chance for you to prove me wrong.
>>750144801>there is no agenda. no organized shadow groupIf it makes you feel less afraid then sure I'll agree with you. Fear is how they get compliance. You shouldn't fear them because as you said they're just monkeys.

>>750144949see>>750142109This has been planned for a long time, but for whatever reason the date has been changed to 2030.
>>750144949Its tomorrow. Everyones dead. Its over.

There's going to be a nationwide blackout and the internet will be cut, and they're going to blame it on ai. This php update they just did is probably related to it.

>>750145546If you've ever worked a corporate job you would know how impossible it is to get a group of more than like 10 people to do anything effectively. Hell you can't even run a 25m WoW raid with a bunch of frustration and incompetence.Idk why when it comes to the illuminati people suddenly assume they are capable with operating with robotic efficiency and perfect secrecy. It's just not possible. I think you would sooner see dogs building spaceships with their doggy paws.

Sony CEO talked about how they are leaving the hardware business recently. They are an entertainment business now. Movies, games, music, etc. It's a long term plan that started when they bought Michael Jackson's catalogue.

>>750146680Well outside the third world where people can afford a proper TV and sound system there are many reasons to care. If you're reading this post on a 2008 LCD in a Benguluru slum I'm sure the reasons are lost to you.
>>750135556Sony isn't going anywhere even if their consumer electronics and music and movies and SnoyStation goes away, they're a huge corpo with hands in everything
>>750146560There won’t be a PS7. That PS9 commercial from 2001 was wishful thinking.
>>750133923I think uhd blu ray is a shitty format. It's alrdy struggling with the current standard.
>>750140493Besides PS1 and PS2 Sony never did something good. Panasonic, phillips and LG were always the best on technology
>>750146971Aside from PC playback which was a niche application of a niche medium, what's wrong with it? It got rid of the retarded region lock blurays have and theoretically scales up to 100 GB.
>>750139085>Public Domain2033-2037 are going to be a fucking BLOODBATH in particular, oh my god
>>750134684It feels like everything is winding down for the end desu, like we're entering a new paradigm that's even more profound than the industrial revolution. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit scared of what's going to happen over the next few years.
>>750147384they'll just pull a Disney and throw a nonillion dollars at lawmakers to extend the copyright so they can continue to milk the husk of whatever intellectual property they possess which people still care about.
>>750147284Alrdy struggles with extra long 4k movies with high def audio in several languages. Gets completely killed by 8k or high framerate. So is days are alrdy numbered. The problem is that there probably won't be a substitute.
>>750133923That's because every serious UHD Bluray buyer has a Panasonic or Oppo.
>>750134604yiffy?
>>750138985How will you get the digital files? Pirate? Where do they get the files to begin with? Ripping from physical. Might have leaks or something but doubt DRM will be best for it.
>>750147598I sincerely doubt they are filling up the 100 GB discs. More like they're using 50 GB discs because they don't feel like making a proper release and in that sense it's just like Terminator 2 4k. Not the fault of the medium, case of the publisher not giving a shit. 8K and HFR are never taking off. Both were already discontinued.
>every third worlder has a 4K TV>nobody is buying UHDs, even though they are region freeWhy are 4K TVs a thing again?
>>750135484I started making a point to board physical media a while back and there were a few things I had to leap on immediately> LotR Extended > Star Wars Despecialized> Raimi Spiderman trilogy> Dark Knight trilogy> Interstellar, anything Nolan desu> whole 007 series collectionI also just pick up whatever good kid's films and cartoons I come across so my future kids will have accessed to non-pozzed / judeaified media, basically I just want a good library of stuff that communicates traditional heroic values, adventure, the forces of good vs evil, etc
>>750147284No him but I would say the disc format comes off as make work in the modern world. A write protected SD card or usb stick can do the same thing in a small package with no noisy disc drive; less fragile too.
>>750147751Lotr extended editions are alrdy 2 discs each movie, anon.
>>750147876it's what they're selling so that's what people are buying so that's what they're selling...
>>750139085>AI renders software copyright and the DMCA unenforceableThis is what I love the most.
>>750133923I think this has more to do with the fact that nobody actually buys these things.People already barely buy blue ray movies, and those that do usually just watch them on their console.
>>750135484If you wanna show of 4K HDR to your broke fag family and friends you should get Planet Earth 2
>>750147914Theatricals fit on a single disc and are you going to stare me right in the eyes and tell me that LOTR extended editions are the average movie in length?
>>750138231>>750143973I enjoy the fact that you couldn't think of a single example.
>>750148293For korean shit, yeah.
sony literally has been destroyedby the CD, VHS and BLURAY.they fucking hate they can't control the market.
>>750148474Gookshit runs for 3h+?
>>750133923The only way to boycott that was to have bought a shitton of Xbox physical games. Giving Playstation shit was planned around, because Playstation believes (and I think they're right) that normies will forget all about this after GTA6. So receiving hate means they have all the more reason to push through it instead of changing course - because who are they competing with? Nintendo doesn't do discs, movie games, or GTA6 and Xbox basically sawed their legs off this generation. So Playstation will wad thru all the hate and dump physical disc production.
>>750148597Gookshit too long. 3 is rare but 2.5 is pretty much standard for dramas and thrillers action shit clocks often just over 2h. It all feels like it could be trimmed down to 90min tho.
>>750134679Movies shot on film contain enough detail to benefit from 4k masters. Some even of 8k masters if that ever happens. In fact it's the new movies with their dogshit computer special effects that gain less from 4k masters as the CGI is done in 1080p. In fact many modern movies are mastered in 1080p only upscaled to 4K.
>>750148861BD-100 can easily hold 3h worth of video at 50-60 mbps with multiple languages, see; LOTR theatrical cut. One great benefit of gookslop is that I doubt it will need to hold multiple dub tracks. I see no reason why they'd need more than 100 GB.
>>750146560>It's a long term plan that started when they bought Michael Jackson's catalogue.You mean when they became phoney?
>>750133923IBM is selling tapes but as of now, the tape recorders are expensive, plus they are emp resistant.We are going back to tapes and floppies, which is ironic to at least.
>>750149081I admit defeat, I memoryholed that lotr extended was more like 4 hours than 3. The audio can still be a problem for urop releases with 3 languages but you can just not get them allthough I prefer german or french dubs often over the english ones. Bad mix lately. So it's only really a problem once you wanna go 8k.
>>750134679Remasters of actually good films from 25 years agoThat's about it

In fact many modern movies are mastered in 1080p only upscaled to 4K.The majority of Dragon Ball Z was shot on 16mm film compared to the more standard 35mm. However, there were a few episodes of Z (episodes 73 to 80) shot on 35mm film. >Dragon Ball Z Movie 7 - Reel 1 (35mm 4K Scan) https://nyaa.si/view/1869569>Dragon Ball Z (DBZ) - Movie 9 - Reel 3 - 4K Scan https://nyaa.si/view/1761204

I feel like only late millennials and chronically online kids care about this physical shit
>>750149619Animated movies are different as the actual cell determines the theoretical maximum of detail you're going to get. Dragon Ball isn't detailed in the slightest in this sense as it's a weekly shonen slop anime where the source material itself preferred a simple artstyle for legibility. Even in higher budget productions like GITS or Kon movies the uplift from bluray is rather minimal.
>>750149523yeah but a lot of them end up being poor using ai upscalers and such
>>750142109Lemme say this, xhis side made a bet, they are losing badly, alphas are the untainted gen, and God always have a plan, because the otherside never learns, this is the last shot thry have after a ton of docummented apocalypses, the bibble the most recent one.But they never learn, it is the true meaning of insanity.
>>750149913Even in worst case scenario they're just sidegrades and wastes of potential.
>>750149674Shit vanishing from services is much more common than somebody breaking into your home and stealing a disc.But yeah, that's only something that really hurts old people who want to relive their memories and suddenly can't find the movie or song that played while they made those.Thing is everyone will be old people sooner or later.

>>750135484Avoid any animated films from the 70s/80s/90s/early 2000s (they have shit transfers and look worse than blu-ray)Avoid any pre-Avatar James Cameron films (AI slop-scaled, and the colors are all fucked up)

>>750148043>the public gets what the public wants>the public wants what the public getsyeah it's been like that for a while
>>750139131>You're right, you aren't shackled with DRM on a BDrip.You ever tried to play a BDrip on a PS3? I forget what it was called but loads (almost all) blu rays and tv shows and such had a series of near invisible dots on the image that would survive multiple re-encodes that would tell the player what format the movie was SUPPOSED to be so it could stop playback if it went "hey, but this is a .mp4 and you say you're a blu ray..."And I know you're already thinking "lol, I'll just use MPV and VLC!!" and sure, THEY won't stop you... but your monitor might. There is absolutely no technical or legal reason whatsoever that they couldn't force display manufacturers to include pirate media checks. They already mandate HDCP so your widevine netflix works. It's literally just a small change in the terms that would require the HDCP check to include content checks. And then you'll be stuck trying to FB marketplace yourself 2020 era monitors because even the "analog hole" doesn't protect you.
>>750147876They needed a new gimmick after 3D and curved TVs bit the dust. Atleast 4K and the current OLED have some real benefits to image quality. Obviously if you're a bongobongo poorfag you won't be displaying any native 4k content on that TV ever.
>>750147908You could probably stamp a couple hundred BDs for the price of 100GB of flash memory today.
>>750147908SD cards and usb sticks would not only be more expensive but also more volatile. A BD will last you easily 40+ years while a SD/flash stick will die if you don't power it up 5-10 year intervals.
>>750151906>The Cat ReturnsI just download the BD remux but even that took longer to surface than expected.
>>750134679Robert Eggers already made more classics than Deltoro and Coppola combined
>>750135484The Matrix trilogy on 4K blu ray is pretty good, they even changed the colour grading for it
>>750147876So you can watch Netflix streams with lower bitrates than 480p DVDs from 2003.
>>750147876UHDs are fucking expensive dude. Easily 2-3x the price of normal blurays plus you need a player. Poorfags might afford a chinkshit dogshit 4k TV but a singular UHD might be a weeks pay.
I mean it's not rocket science. No one fucking buys blu-rays anymore. I mean, people who care about physical media do, but for every one person who gives a shit, there's like ten thousand who's more than happy to just stream on Hulu or whatever. OF COURSE this is where the industry was headed. There's literally not enough of us to make this shit profitable. Why do you people act like there's some kind of conspiracy going on? You only have to just TALK to another human being to realize that they probably haven't bought a Blu-Ray disk in literal fucking years. How the fuck does an economy physical media sustain itself when 90% of consumers don't fucking buy physical?
>>750139336>It's another 3rd worlder letting the USA live rent free in his headlmao
>>750147718>Where do they get the files to begin with? Ripping from physical.no there are web downloads, toothere will always be a wayi cant even remember the last time i actually bought a DVD/BRD. Probably fucking Casino Royale, and that was about the time I bought a PS4 and just wanted to see what a 1080p disc looked like.
>>750157018Webrips will always be limited to the streaming quality of the file itself, at best being lower bitrate than normal blurays. So while a total physical genocide would mean pirating movies would still be possible, it would be at a worse quality than even a physical media from 2005. Not that this matters alot, go to any public tracker and the most downloaded rips are worse than DVD in image quality.
>>750155129>using del toro as an example of an old masterzoomer moment
>>750134009It's always fascinating watching people do this no hints of resistance whatsoever.You just accept it.
>>750134670Eh, when you think about it, since the beginning of civilisations there were kings and peasants. Most people were peasants, they made the vast majority of people. Only in modern history have average people enjoyed such higher standards of living. It's all starting to collapse now. Now are superiors will be the tech oligarchs controlling AI. In the past people were serfs, you however have the luxury of being a digital serf. All semi-attractive women will become e-whores, too. Welcome to the future.
>>750133923So they don't want money any longer?
>>750138985>having a copy of a movie on a hard drive is exactly the same amount of "ownership" as having a copy of a movie on a discIt's actually more of an ownership as you can make copies of it. But having a movie in a hard drive is NOT what they're selling you, it's just streaming.
>>750157468Ironically it was the fear of communism that kept the elites in line and made them do concessions. Now that it's over with they have no reason to fear for their position and can make you eat shit like the millennia prior.
>>750157261>Webrips will always be limited to the streaming quality of the file itselfagain i dont really care, my 1080p downloads are at around 2-3gb for a movie. sure its sad if you really value higher visual quality but my point was that just because everything is going digital only doesnt mean you're not going to be able to own things. If streaming will be the only way to watch movies/shows legally, well you'll still be able to pirate and keep them at the best quality they are available to anyone paying for them.
UHD blu ray is so irrelevant as a format I doubt the majority of people even realize it's actually seperate from blu rays.
>>750134604Pretty much.
>>750135484jav
>>750157740>my 1080p downloads are at around 2-3gb for a movieCase in point. Your 1080p movies are DVD in size. Yeah you might be getting it for free but you're a solid 30 years in the past in terms of image quality and in the future you won't even have a choice in the matter.
>>750138985Yeah what you said might be true but paying for a digital license to stream a movie is different than owning the raw data on a disk or drive.
>>750157864i dont give a fuck you retard. you keep missing the point Im making because youre a 4chan dickhead that is trying to be needlessly argumentative. fuck off.
You can download 1080p or 4k rips and stream them from your phone to your tv. Looks fine and its free. 4k bluray is a rip off 90% of the time with botched or lackluster 4k upscales. Dont give them money. Get it all for free
>>750157952You're a fucking goy slave. You're posting on the audiovisual equivalent of a dirt floor and I'm telling you to rattle your cage and demand better. A foreign concept if you were bred and born a slave but in your poverty try to emulate a free white man for a change.
>Just twenty years ago, physical was still the dominant method for home entertainment>In a disgustingly short amount of time, we have reached a point where the overwhelming majority of consumers simply do not buy physical media anymoreThings were always headed this way. It doesn't really matter what you or I think. We aren't the majority. There are less of us every year. The economy has always served the lowest common denominator.
>>750158260Convenience always wins before quality. Combine this with the fact that the average zoomer doesn't own a PC nor a TV. Especially women watch everything on their phones. How do you even begin to explain bitrates or Dolby Atmos to something like that?
>>750154336Or you're just having a local retard LLM reverse engineer the panel and program a custom controller for you, or buying some other retard's ready made controller for your exact panel. They lost lil bro. Security through obscurity is over.
>>750147384so many shitty slapped together horror movie adaptions. can't wait.
>>750146014It's important to actually read the license, dumbass. Does any part of that license say I can't watch the dvd I own.
>>750133923Everything will be streamed with drm at a low bitrate
>>750153993So, the public wants to watch always online DRM 720p streaming slop, upscaled on the way to big 4K TVs? No wonder everything is a subscription service nowadays, even cars
>>750133923DRM ruined Blu-rayIt'd have been the next DVD if they hadn't cucked the format so badlyps: game key cards are not physical, they're just download codes on a piece of plastic
>>750162226Nothing could've saved it from Netflix. Der consoomer is immune to all image quality arguments. Not like /v/ is any better in this sense when panel technologies are brought up.
>>750162426No one will buy a screen that develops burn-in and loses brightness from normal use, plus the cucked brightness from ABL and ASBL and other dishonest trickery from manufacturers who hate and deceive consumers. Add the jewish smart features (ads) and planned obsolescence and you've put basically everyone off your product
>>750162613Case in point. You forgot the "I don't see any difference from mini-LED" retardation so I'll deduct one point.
>>750162226>ps: game key cards are not physical, they're just download codes on a piece of plasticThey're resellable download codes.
>>750147718>Company abandons physical media>Releases only through streaming/only stores>Someone buys it>Rips as uploads a pirate copy of the movie/game/song/software>You download thatThere nigger, the medium is not the issue, it's DRM is has always been DRM.You can get a movie/game/software from wherever through whichever medium, if there's DRM on it, you don't own that piece of media.
>>750163225>if there's DRM on it, you don't own that piece of mediaNobody believes this. It might be true for digital media where license can be remotely removed at any time, but DRM has been implemented since the 1980s in NES region lock chips and you'd be genuinely the first to imply that you don't own your NES cartridges.
>>750163453>NES region lock>Region lock>I can't play a game if it's in a different country because the company that made the cartridge made it soYou don't own it, not fully. You are locked by the DRM. You may have possession of the cartridge and be allowed to sell it if you want, but if a company can restrict you based on arbitrary conditions, you don't fully own it.
>>750163873Then remove the chip. It's not illegal. You own the hardware and can modify it as you see fit.
>>750163991So you admit that DRM is the issue, if you need to remove it in order to gain full unrestricted access to your media, which is on a physical medium, the cartridge.The issue is not the medium, it's DRM.
>>750164107Don't argue with physicalfags. They're retardedYou only own your games if you dump them into DRM-free formats
>>750164107It's a DRM you consent to as you are allowed to remove it at any time, legally. It's unlike cracking games, that's illegal. However in the case of physical hardware that you own you are free to accept or decline any voluntary DRM it may come with.
>>750164212Physical ownership is protected by strong laws because jews made it so. Digital ownership isn't really anything but either access with veto or access without external veto. Start cracking and you get lawyers up your ass.
>>750164230Thus the nail of the issue. The laws are flawed and they favour companies that abuse the DRM system to fuck everyone.Instead of crying about plastic discs, you, me and everyone that gives a damn about this issue of media ownership should instead, pressuring lawmakers to revise the law, so it's starts penalising companies that abuse the DRM system, as well as copyright laws.
>>750164779Christmas is coming up, better add that to the top of your list.
>>750134679reminder that the gap from DVD to Blu-Ray was only like 10 years
>>750165901yet DVDs never diedSo now we have three physical mediums in a time when not a singular one sells enough, or so I'm told.
>>750164550Game dumps are true ownership because shitny, jewtendo and microjeet can't delete games off my hard drive, plus I can hack and mod my games and there's nothing they can do about it
What does Sony even do at this point, I can't think of any products they haven't discontinued besides PlayStations and studio headphones
>>750164886Don't even start man, it's hopeless.I am at the verge of believing retards that obsesses about muh DeeVeeDees are plants from Sony and other companies to dilute people from the real issue, your laws are fucking you in the ass and you're distracted dissertating if penguins can even be considered birds or not. Fuck.
>>750166259Ownership is only full ownership when the law protects your ownership to it. A game rip or crack doesn't fill this criteria and would more likely count as a copyright infringement. Similarly you can't exercise the right to sell that item you supposedly own. Another detriment true ownership doesn't have.
>>750162613>No one will buy a screen that develops burn-in and loses brightness from normal useMany people buy OLED screens though?
>>750166528Anyone who buys a TV with ads is retarded and doesn't count
>>750166150bitch I ain't running video in 480p1080 or bust
>>750166576Resolution isn't everything. Netflix gives you 1080p but the bitrate is similar or lower to DVD. Anyway, if you care about audiovisual quality and your rights in general you're on UHD bluray and if you're serious you'll be running a flashed drive with MakeMKV.
>>750134684Market indicates a recession, the companies are expecting it and that's why so many are laying off. Prices of everything are going up. There isn't enough bread and the circus is having trouble getting paid.
>>750166575The TV can't display ads if you disable its internet access.
>people using PS5 for UHDShit can't even decode the full colour range properly, especially on HDR10 content. I don't think they even fixed it for the PS5 Pro.
>>750166774It can decode HDR10, just not Dolby Vision. It's not different from the Xbox One S in this sense. Additionally how important this is depends on the movie you're watching and what screen you're using. HDR10 vs Dolby Vision is a useless comparison if you're on LCD, you have bigger problems at that point.
>>750134604Of course they can, you just have to remove the fox balls from in front of your eyes.
>>750134604>yify>black scenes become so blocky it's like minecraft
>>750166891>if you're on LCDHDR in general is useless on LCD.
>>750133923You retards do realize ever since bluray came on the market it's had bullshit drm on it from day one right? It's all secure key bullshit that can easily be nulled or blocked making the disc worthless.
>>750168921>the diskMore like your player, which is forced to phone home to download decryption keys. Then the moment the manufacturers drop support or blacklist it, it turns into a brickHackers have had to buy and throw away countless players to dump discsThere was a loophole allowing a couple of PC drives to be flashed and rip keys thanks to some leaked powerdvd decryption keys, but they drives are vanishingly rareIt's the industry's fault that the format died

>>750134604yiff in hell
I copped on ages ago, for years I had been picking up old PS1 and Ps2 games for peanuts stuff I had missed out on by working 24/7 for a decade and then suddenly retro physical media games went ballistic to the point I just quit that (I was used to buying 4 or 5 for a dollar). I noticed Zbox360 seemed to be very cheap/free so bout it up and thenm that went nuts. I always had a bih shel;f full of my favorite DVDs and started seeing new sealed boxsets being given away for nothing so I went and picked up a 3000 ior so library of all the best TV shows and movies for the last century. I picked up some blue rays as well but not many a few hundred. I'm not a big fan of blue ray because of it's DRM and server based key updating. I use goof upscalers and enjpt it a lot, just watched noth by northwest and the big sleep but I mainly watch 1080 upscaled.Now the 4K fags will start screaming at me but I don't need fraiser in 4K or Cheers. There are VERY few actual 4K movies/bluerays worth having (scarfare is one) because the vast majority are a con played on pretentious cunts and are just upscaled and burned to disk.I could see the way this was goinga nd I am finished, job is done. There are only aboiut 10 TV shows/seasons and 30 movies ayear worth a shit. Cimema and TV has been around for about 100 years so you will wind up with about 2000 movies and about 1000 TV show seasons. It's not infinite. I do have niches with more thrash in them I likie but really by the time you get to about 3000 items you are done. The only thing I am butibng right now is optical media PC games and software in that pre stea, key window for use on XP and Win 7 systems when I have lefta GPU and shit ;like securom. All the old classics and anything that works without a steam key or online activation The reason this is the only one I am still doing is you could buiy very very cheaply, I'd say thats ending about now thoughTruth be told you aren all late to this party.You're fucked.
>>750169805actually, there are 2 factions at odds. Malthusians vs mammonists
>>750135556Margins on consumer electronics are pretty razor thin. Sony still makes professional equipment, presumably that is still profitable.
>>750170609samefag>>750171295readI have a game cpllection of about 2000 physical and about 30,000 digitaL and DVDs about 3000, bluray about 200, maybe another 1000 digital, stuiff that was not released on physical like the latest korean stuff or strager things or south park etc including youtube videos on stuff like firearms that has been deleted/banned, some porn The great thing about having this stuff is I can or will be able to pretty soon process kit anyway way I want from very high end upsclaing to even colorisation etc. I feel genuinely sorry for people who could not get themselves sorted because theyw ere broke because this was all once very very cheap or because they had no room or whatever but the oens who did it to themselves out of lazyness can get fucked. Convenience? I LIKE looking along a section called war or sci fi or whatever and picking a movie out. It's way more fun that using a media server and way more convenient.It's not a matyetr pof chocie for youm now anyway, liek game [physical media DVDs have shot up in price and you would have to spend 20 grand to get a colelction worth having now, this shit was basically free for yeaqrs and years though, as it was with game phycial media before the hordes arrived.
>Everyone going overdrive on AI shit>AI makes zero money besides NvidiaGrim.
>>750168921>>750169194good posts exactly why I don't like bluray. It's basically a server based system that can shut down players by neglect or deliberately. That being said there are only maybe 100 actua full film rescans worth having in higher resulution anyway the vast majority are just upscalers conning people and I can do that myself now thanks to tensor cores if I care but honestly I don;t mostly, do see scarfare on bluray though, one good example that is worth it but the vast majority of 4K stuff is not it's just upscalers burnt to disk,. I think the whole criterion/4K think was aviral markleting effort targetting applefag types. If there is one thing a cluster of four V100s on an NVLINK board is great fro it is doing a 4K upscale if you care, honestly though I genuonely don;t care.720 upsaled to 1080 and then let the TV do the rest is fine,
>>7501354844K always seemed redundant to me. 1080p is a good peak. Unless, what, you REALLY wanna see EVERY pore and pimple otherwise you can't watch it? C'mon, now.
>>750172526I think the current 'AI' bubble isa comp;leet scam but mainly because it is a datacenter scam, cloud stuff has always been shit. Mainframes were shit as well. I can do some near stuff locally, I have a100s and v100s and you can run models that code as well as the pay per tpoken stuff as well as generative AI. What I am personally working on is taking films like wheer eaglkes dare or zulu and adding length by making the injuries more realistic and extending the violent scenes having fun with drone firmware and beuilding my own ukranian type skynet. I do find them useful to debate my physics papers with because basically I am taking to myself differently. Cloud LLMs and rent a GPU datacentres and crap like azure, onedrive, entra, google driove, spotify, netflicks are shit and fucking retarded though. I find it wierd watching [people go on about 5090s witha poxy 32MB on them, like four v100s on a 4way nvlink board can have easily 20000 cuda cores and 128GB of much muich faster vram, by two A100s have 160GB of NVRAM. Consumer wise a 3060 12GB or 5060ti 16GB or whatever is fine. If you want local AI shit use non concumer GPUs. Start lookling at A100s they are all about to get decomissioned. A V100 16GB is about the same as a 3080 and tehy cost very little. Normies /v/egaymes and retards will get filtered by the setups but that's also cool. I'm temped to pput ARGB fans on my 4 way v100 32GB board just to piss off LED fishtank spaceheater PC 5090 faggots. It outperforms a spark. How this all relates is high end video procesisng is something you can do at home if you care to. Which is nice.
>>750173323>they are all about to get decomissionedThey are going straight into the crusher. Most of the AI hardware NVIDIA "sold" was actually LEASED, it has to go back. The last thing AI companies will do is hand these out to school children and vidya gaymers. These cards aren't even theirs lol.
>>750138145All your gay little picture does is show how you are no different from thjse jews you hate so fervently. You're just mad because they beat you to the punch and you're not the ones oppressing others
>>750174183The fact your initial reaction is "everyone must want to do evil shit all the time because I do" is very telling.Did you do unspeakable things to destroy your conscience or were you born that way?
>>750173696I have a way og getting this stuff. Try harder. The real brakthough on the v100s was some changs managed to shit out four way full 300 gb/s nvlink boards that you can hook up on sas and they are about twice as fast as a 5090. You can but the board for 300 bucks and put together a 64GB or 128GB sytem with 20480 cuda cores and 3560 tensor cores at the 64GB for peanuts. Can't want to see what the changs shit out when the a100s drop. BTW I have one sitting in a box under my bed rn and two 80GB A100s running in parallel, I used them for analysing ERP and accounting databases for fraudulent activity originally (I used be the guy who catches fat stacey in account stealing 100K) or when someone on a board becomes a suspect.
>>750174310>because II never once talked about myself or my goals. Take your meds hypocrite schizo. You want the same thing as the kikes so you need to be gassed along with them
>>750174575>I have a way og getting this stuff. Proofs? You claim to have a bunch of stuff, just show a time-stamped pic with your hand.>Try harder.This stuff is all going into the crusher.

Yes I have a datacenbtre GPU unmounted in a box under by bed rn complete with the huge fuck off passive cooler on it . The fact you even think that is remarkable says you know fuck all. Where do you think all the V100s the changs were selling came from they were all stipped out of datacentres. Now the A100s are beingb stripped out you got told something valuable and you just tried to start shit with me because you are a faggot.
>>750175163you literally sound like an unhinged thirdie making shit up for izzatthe cards are going back to NVIDIA and into the crusher, rajesh
>>750175262To me as a cauasian in retirement you just sound like a retarded spastic pol/v/ tech illiterate child. If you had a brain you would already have stuff like at very least v100s, they are fucking everywhere. You are not into tech. There is nothing remarkable about having a100s or v100s
>>750135484The best 4K I've ever watched is Alien 1979.
>>750175024>loses argument >shits self
>>750166525>>750164779There you are, you have reached the logical conclusion without much prodding.Law.The laws are stacked against you on this matter and companies used said laws to abuse the DRM system, copyright laws and even LUAs. Going from Nintendo in the 80s installing a fucking chip on your cartridge that forbids you from playing the game you bought in which ever country you want, to modern day companies demanding that you install malware with root level access to your hardware in order to allow you to play your game you bought, which you have to agree to allow them the right to revoke your access to said game for whatever reason they come up with, and they are not obliged to tell you at all at any time why or when they'll pull the game out of you.You want more media ownership, attack DRM.You want DRM out, attack the laws that allow it.Change the laws that allow companies to abuse you and you get your legally back media onwership.
gotta say streaming is actually much better for movies/tv shows/games. if you are constantly getting money for streaming out a movie/tv show/movie, there's more of incentive to maintain/improve it rather than if it's a one and done salethe real issue around streaming is that you don't have services that let you have access to all movies/tv shows/games. other than that, blu-ray players dying is a really great thing for pretty much everyone
Ironically, Disney handles their physical media through Sony nowadays.
>>750135484Godzilla (Critereon 4k release)The entire Showa era collection is great, but its worth getting the 4k remaster for Gojira.

>>750133923>They really are done with physical mediaYeah because you faggots don't buy it
>>750179849I didn't buy a shit station either, so why are they still making them?

>>750133923Honestly, even as someone that has a decent size collection of dvds and blurays, not a single one of them is a 4k release.I just don't care enough to get a specialized player for them, and I definitely don't want to pay 2-3x the price for the releases, and I imagine most people are in the same boat.As long as they keep the standard bluray player alive for a while longer, I don't think many people will honestly care about this.

>>750179904>so why are they still making them?Because unlike discs enough people buy them you dumb faggot.
>>750134604Depending on the level of film grain present, some yify rips can trigger blocky compression. I don't even like film grain that much, but bad compression can make a movie look DVD-tier quality. I like absurdly high bitrate rips to be available just in case. For most movies though, especially a throwaway comedy, yeah yify quality is fine. My friend told me all about this, I always purchase my own media legally

>>750134684All I can think of is how Vegas used to be a place where food, shows, drinks, and hotel rooms were all dirt cheap so that you would lose your shirt gambling. If you were responsible or didn't gamble at all, everything you did was effectively being subsidized by high rollers and gambling addicts. Now it's about making EVERYTHING cost as much money as possible until people stop coming, perpetually testing the limits of what people are willing to pay. What scares me is that they don't seem to care if they kill Vegas' tourism at any point, they're just trying to secure the bag here and now. I'm sure the executives can't believe what they're continuing to get away with, it's fucking absurd. lol they're also fucking with the payout ratios for games like blackjack.

>>750136563If more indie game were released physically, I'd buy them. In fact, I recently bought a couple physical indie games along with some AAA games for cheap. Ignoring Steam, about 90% of the video games I bought for consoles are all physical copies. The other 10% only had digital release or their physical release was stupidly expensive on the after market.Cloud gaming is a terrible idea, but that won't stop it from coming or being pushed.

>>750142367Disc rot is real: However, it is greatly exaggerated as a problem. It is usually listed as a problem with physical vs digital (as if disc drives aren't prone to breaking too). As long as a person takes care of your disc (like you do), don't put your discs in extreme environmental conditions, and didn't buy a disc that already had production problems (see video below), then they should last a long time.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufALjleweoA
>>750134684The key problem is that a market correction is coming and it's gonna be bad. Nobody knows quite how bad it will be, but people can feel it.As a classic Japanese "we make everything" company, Sony is already under massive pressure, as it starts being outcompeted by cheaper options. So they have to cut costs to whether the coming storm.They are arguably making the correct move by cutting physical media from their portfolio, but simultaneously, it's probably not the "right" move, if that makes sense.
>own a bluray player for 10+ years>own 3 or 4 bluray movies>never played any of them on itI bought the player specifically because it can play pretty much any media format and has all the media ports and network features you could ever need.

>>750135604I think a lot of decisions are being made out of fear versus logic and longevity. The 'I got mine' mentality as fear mongering goings hard. It why so many places went all in on NFTs, and now AI. Its popular, someone told them it will make the money, and they went with it. I'm not saying they are doing things maliciously (although I bet a couple people really do want suffering). I think most decisions are made out of indifference. Will it make them money? Okay good, then go for it. Will I destroy the local communities economy? Maybe uproot a couple peoples homes? You don't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs!And those decisions are being rewarded as we build a society and economy that encourages this. It is like death by a thousand paper cuts, which is why everyone is feeling it, including the people making the decisions. We make similar decisions, only our decisions probably impact a lot less people.That said, I think the world is going to shift for the better. You can only milk this cow for so long. Not only is the inflation hurting everyone, there are a lot of people that literally can't contribute. They can't afford to support the system, and this is expected to continue how? Somethings gotta give, and I think a lot of companies are going to learn this the hard way when the AI bubble (inevitably) pops within the next 5 years. Or a new technology pops out of nowhere and that becomes NFTs 2.0.Anyways, we'll have plenty of video games to play in the mean time.
