LaserDisc Comments

[flbeachlf]

I see a lot of comments about LaserDiscs, about it being a failed technology that never took off. Obviously they would have loved it if they sold more players, but it was always a niche device for those people that hated video tapes and/or wanted to see movies in wide screen. I bought one in 1989 and for the next few years the discs were readily available in nearly any video store. The picture at the time was excellent, and it worked very well for me. My player still works and I'm able to see Han shoot Greedo first anytime that I desire.

Though, looking back flipping a platter every 30 minutes during Aliens doesn't compare to what I get on Blu-Ray.
