Why do I get the sinking feeling that a sub-£250 UB-820EB is now sliding further and further from my view?
Is this the end?

Ain’t happening. I finally bought a region-free 820 yesterday after talking myself out of the price for years.

You might get lucky, In 5 years you might be able to snag one for $20 at Goodwill.

We bought one new for $250 around 6 or 7 years ago, and a few days later we found an even better model at the thrift store for $10! We returned the new one the next day. Thrift stores kick ass, although their prices have definitely increased since the pandemic.

When’s the last time they updated them, 2018?

Blu-ray is such a crap format.

Not that they made any good ones. The Panasonic ones is where it’s at.

Ah I’ve always gone for the Sony ones, is there a significant gap?

The reviews of the Panasonic ub820 are pretty high. Mostly because it’s price to performance.
