    I don’t think I’ve burned a DVD in 15 years. Sick of hunting for disks to swap.

    Although Sony killed it doesn’t mean there no other similar product from other companies
    I’m sure Sony has reason why they killed it maybe because low selling point since everyone has some flashdrive/HDD to save data or because many movies are already available internet

    A lot write here other will still produce them, that’s right.

Guess we we reached probably the end here.

          Don’t let that guy bum you out. You are doing great and I and everyone else including that idiot knew what you mean. He is just one of those guys who gets his willies off talking down to people so he can feel smart.
