LG halting the production of Blu-ray and UHD players
(www.tomsguide.com)
On Reddit we have r/dvdcollection, r/boutiquebluray, r/4kbluray, r/steelbook, r/vhs, etc but let's start simply with a community to cover all the forms of home video collecting.
So, do you feel nostalgic for a format? Are you looking forward to a release? Heard any exciting news? Want to show us your shelves? Then post away.

Ah I've always gone for the Sony ones, is there a significant gap?
The UB9000 and X800M2 are both superb disc players
That said, the only things to recommend the 9000 over the 820 is the build chassis quality, dead silent disc spinning, and improved DAC.
As my A/V goes through my Onkyo receiver (which supports all the standards I care about) and I usually have some level of background house noise anyway (furnace, etc.), it wasn't worth triple the price for me.
The reviews of the Panasonic ub820 are pretty high. Mostly because it's price to performance.
