Maxell to no longer manufacture discs, blow customers away
Though the Maxell brand name will live on, the company announced it is ending production of CD, DVD, Blu-ray and HD DVD discs at the end of the month. It plans to outsource to other manufacturers (like Mitsubishi perhaps?) and though the name on the packaging will be the same, we just don't see how anyone else can provide the rather unique experience of Maxell tape discs.

Instead of asking "HD-DVD or Blu-Ray?" next year, we might be asking "Holographic Video Disc or other
inferior products?" We're not even done with the current format war and the troops are already gearing up
for the next one. Actually, from the sounds of the new HVD, I may bypass the high-def DVD silliness
completely.
