Another sign SACD is dying


I went to Best Buy to purchase some SACDs and after searching for the special section containing sacds and xrcds without success, I asked the salesman where they were. He informed me that they were all removed since dual disc is now the rage. WOW!

The 2 unconfirmed Sony SACD titles carry catalog numbers that indicates SACD, however they're listed as CD at Sony's webstore.

Currently, as of 12/01/2005, sa-cd.net lists 3,414 SACD titles released worldwide. Looks like the number of titles released will cross over the 3,500 mark by year's end. A number of months ago, sa-cd.net stopped listing new titles from the Hong Kong/China/Taiwan region, but this is one of the most active regions in terms of SACD releases. These releases are now listed on Sony's European superaudio-cd.com website. We are actually now very close to 3,450 titles.
Since my last post on December 1, almost 60 additional SACD titles have been added to sa-cd.net.

Today, Sony announced 2 more SACD releases....John Mayer's "Room For Squares" and Switchfoot's "The Beautiful Letdown".
Why wait when there're now over 3,500 SACD titles available? BTW, John Mayer's "Room For Squares" SACD is very good.
