    Bluray is cool and all..buuuuut

    Decided to go back to the dawn of time with some kickin new technology!



    Boo Yeah!

    Who cannot appreciate technology that is so ungodly massive its just plain awesome!




    And of course the primary reason for purchasing a Laserdisc player is to see cult classics before Spielberg/Lucas raped them.



    The player I picked up from GSA Surplus for 30 bucks, had to regrease some of the bearings, and clean it up, but she works perfectly AND has S-Video out!

    I've always liked old technology, and to be honest the quality is pretty damn good!

          We have a DVD/Laser Disc player, it still gets used pretty often. I just decided the other day that I'm going with an upconverted DVD player over BlueRay, regular DVDs are so cheap.

                  Wow, I can tell the difference just playing a normal DVD on my PS3.

                    I am drooling over your laser disc copies of the original trilogy. You're very lucky, I only have the post rape version.

                          Nice find. I had one a work a while back - I was impressed at the quality.

                          Someday I want to pick up an old reel-to-reel tape player, just for the bling factor.

                            There is a huge difference if you have the proper equipment.
