I know one poor wretch who jumped on the bandwagon a little too quickly and purchased a laserdisc player. Talk about a short-lived video technology.  |
Huh? Laser discs were around in the early 80's. Until DVD came out, they were the only quality video machine. VHS had the advantage to record though, but for just watching movies, I always would purchase a Laserdisc over VHS any day of the week.

PS. I do beleive you can still get movies on laser disc if you want them. The only drawback - sound. You won't get all your neat dts sound out of it, but the actual sound that does come out is superior to AC3 - it is not compressed - it is RAW.
