The only thing that bothers me with laserdisc is that I have to flip the disc over once one side is done.
first...i am sorry that i re open an old thread like this one.....
secondly: there are laserdiscplayers that are able to play both sides so you dont have to get up and change/turn the disc.
also laserdisc movies have been made for years and even a few years back.(last of the ld produced was in japan around 2001/2002 i believe) so thats not too long ago.
laserdisc players are still in production in japan. you can buy pioneer players for around 3000-5000 dollars(yes they con still cost you a lot if you want one of the best players ever made)
i am a moviefreak and well the laserdisc movies are often of a great quality when it comes to image/sound. also lots of the laserdisc movies are movies that never been transferred to dvd.
these days laserdisc movies are often only a few dollars but there are still movies around that can fetch 100-300 dollars easy.
laserdisc players/movies have a certain flair.... like with the lp's there are many collectors who like the sleeves and the look etc.....(the fact that some movies are hard to find also plays a part for collectors to love this medium)
i for one will never sell my collection(i recently bought another 100ld's most of them are still sealed)
if anybody want to start watching/collecting laserdisc movies.... stick to pioneer players because they are the best ones ever made.
if people want to sell their collection they can let me know..... i realllllly need more ld's in my collection hehehe
