Honestly I probably would have grabbed that though. :)The shop has gotten into selling them over the last year or so, it used to just be a table with a few crates, now they have a 6ft "just in" bin and about 12ft of racks on the wall just loaded up with them

It was a real step change vs VHS but then DVD again surpassed the quality of LDs - and boy, those discs were expensive…The people I know that actually collect laserdiscs these days do it bc there's a lot of Asian films locked on that format. I personally have enough junk (ie records, dvds, blurays) taking up space I don't need another thing. Plus finding a good functioning laserdisc player these days is a bit of a challenge as well

But then again, I had sold my player and almost all my discs and didn‘t regret that. Now I saw that Shout factory got the rights for the Golden Harvest films (at least some of them), so the John Woo classics etc. will finally be available in 4KChrisMcQueen007 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2025 8:58 pm Interesting that laserdiscs are still around.
