NightChild Reviews asks about the possiblity of the "Piano & A Microphone" tour being released (a possibly pro-shot version)

Will Prince's Piano & A Microphone Tour Ever Be Released

The editors at Highdefdiscnew... Mackenzie, CEO of Fidelity in Motion, a Blu-ray authoring facility that does work for such boutique Blu-ray labels as Arrow Video, Carlotta Films, Flicker Alley, Warner Archive, Second Sight, and Vinegar Syndrome.

According to Mackenzie, Sony’s decision to quit the recordable Blu-ray business (as well as MiniDiscs, MD data, and MiniDV cassettes) has little to do with the overall market of “packaged” movies and TV shows available on Blu-ray.

As Mackenzie explains, the types of Blu-ray discs that Sony won’t make any more are “home-recordable” discs, like the blank DVD-Rs and CD-Rs that many of us used for burning photos, MP3s, and other media to disc. That’s very different from the BD-ROM discs pressed in factories for the big movie studios and the smaller, boutique Blu-ray labels.

Thus, the Sony news isn’t about how streaming is muscling out Blu-ray, Mackenize argues. Instead, it’s about how cloud and flash storage has decimated the market for blank Blu-ray media.

The article you linked to also has the following quote:

Now, to be clear, the standard and 4K Blu-ray market still represents only the tiniest sliver of the share DVDs commanded 20 years ago, and that’s not going to change. The vast majority of those watching movies and TV shows at home are going to stream them, not spin them up on Blu-ray.

I just bought my first Blu-ray ever a few days ago, because I couldn't find the content online (legally or not) and I really wanted to have it (obscure remaster of an oldish movie with bonuses). Now I need to find a Blu-ray drive to rip it...

Over here in Belgium you can find BR players for less than 15 EURO in the better second hand shops. People seem to throw them out...
