Sony is withdrawing iconic equipment. Movie lovers will be saddened
Sony has announced that it is ending the production of Blu-ray recorders. This is a serious blow to fans of this format, especially since it is a continuation of the company’s policy.
In its official announcement, Sony announced that it is ending the production of Blu-Ray recorders. And so, starting this month, the company is ending deliveries of its devices to stores. Once they are completely exhausted, you will still be able to buy them, but only depending on the stock levels of individual stores.
The end of recorders is not everything
Of course, Blu-Ray recorders are not necessary for every movie fan. Those who have their own collection of films obtained in a completely legal way, or do not record high-quality holiday videos, focus on having only players. However, here the problem is much deeper and more serious.
Well, in 2024, Sony reduced employment in the optical media department by 40%. However, in January 2025, it withdrew from the production of Blu-Ray and UHD Blu-Ray discs. So this is quite a worrying direction. Still, don’t panic. The company still produces players and there is no indication that this will change soon.
Please remember that there are also other companies that still offer this type of goods. For example, Verbatim, whose recorder you can buy for only PLN 499.
