LDs are no more.

This morning during my frequent scour for tech news; I came across this technology death.

Pioneer today announced in Tokyo [JP] that they will no longer manufacture Laser Disc players. The DVL-919, CLD-R5, DVK-900 and DVL-K88 are the last models available.

During a quick Google search I found that Laser Disk actually have a large used market. Now with this news I would expect the prices to skyrocket.

Any of you with a Laser Disk player in the attic hold on to them, they may be worth something.
