Does this mean that Plus-X and TMax-3200 are discontinued?

It is the page for Kodak black and white films. Plus-X and Tmax 3200
are not going anywhere.

whew, my 2 favorite Kodak films. Not generally a fan of Kodak colour films,
but their B&W stuff isn't too bad.
The interesting thing about that page is that they have a new TMAX-400. I
think the "film is dead" club must be a bit disappointed at the moment. The
fact that Kodak and Fuji are both bringing out new emulsions would indicate
that there are still plenty of people who see life in silver based
photography.

In the last few months we have had Kodak releasing new formulations of the
entire Portra range and TMax400, Fuji have brought out new Velvia and Provia
emulsions. I doubt they'd still be improving their formulations if they
didn't believe there is still life in film.

The good thing about film - you don't have to buy a whole new camera to take
advantage of technology improvements. I haven't had a chance to use it yet,
but i've seen multiple reviews in magazines (even mostly digital magazines)
where they say new Provia 400F in 35mm has less grain and better colour
fidelity than any of the current crop of DSLRs at ISO 400. If this is the
case, and we also start to see more improvements in other medium and
high-speed film, we might soon see a resurgence in film.

The bad thing about film though, is that most shops now seem to think "film
is dead", and it is getting harder to buy and harder to get processed.

More like a new box.

Which magazines are you referring to? Popular Photograhy proclaimed film
dead as soon as the first 6MP DSLRs came out way back when and they hardly
mention it at all these days.

Exactly. It becomes self-fulfilling.

Black and white photographers might very well keep film alive for many
years. You just can't get the classic B&W look from digital.

For just a moment there I though we were going to see some of your
photographs... Oh well. Another attention whore not getting any.

Well one day you just might. As for being an "attention whore", well
who isn't? We all crave some attention. I guess you need it more than
others. Is that why you post such nasty attacks and lack of
vocabulary?

Such a sad case.
