I just saw a worrying report from Digital Foundry that LG are exiting the blu-ray player market, following Samsung and Oppo. Looks like that just leaves Sony and Panasonic. Any threat to the health of the BD player market is troubling, especially considering how quickly optical drives can start...
These made it just in time for Christmas, after sitting at Tokyo airport for three weeks.
Two orchestral Sailor Moon CDs and Always Sunset on Third Street 64, the third of Takashi Yamazaki's sentimental period dramas set in mid-showa Tokyo.
