In a disappointing turn of events, FlatpanelsHD reports that LG has ended production of its Blu-ray player series, which includes the UBK80 and UBK90 models. With limited stock available, prospective buyers should act quickly to secure the last remaining units before they are sold out.

Welp, we're one step closer to the "you will own nothing and be happy" future tech companies want for us.

Not owning just means you don't have to pay anything. Have at it. World's free now

You wouldn't download a car? Well maybe yes.

Maybe when 3D printers become much more capable.

Yeah, I would download a car.

You'd have to be a special kind of stupid not to download a car and instead pay the thousands of dollars + dealing with scumbag dealerships.

Or just your average American.
