Microsoft just raised the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to $29.99/month, and fans aren’t happy. Many are canceling, some are calling for a boycott, and even Microsoft’s website is struggling to keep up.

You can get bluray drives used for like $30. The real issue is the 4k drives because only certain older models let you rip those. They're harder to replace.

Ah, I guess I was taking for granted that 4k was one of my requirements. Hadn’t even thought to mention it.

Yeah, I'd say my collection is maybe 5% 4k (over 1000 titles in total). Some discs are reeeeal finnicky. I actually thought my drive was toast at one point, but I was able to take it apart and clean the lens with some IPA to get it working again. Wasn't looking forward to replacing it.
