Digital streaming is displacing the last remnants of physical media.

In a disappointing turn of events, FlatpanelsHD reports that LG has ended production of its Blu-ray player series, which includes the UBK80 and UBK90 models. With limited stock available, prospective buyers should act quickly to secure the last remaining units before they are sold out.

After Samsung and Sony's departure from physical media, LG was one of the last major manufacturers of Blu-ray players

Problem with streaming is you're effectively renting.

If the source of the stream wants to change their terms, there's nothing you can do aside from jump ship to the next business maximizing profit.

Unless you're smart enough to use free streaming services, that is ;)
