And, yes, I do miss the "elitist" feeling of being an LD enthusiast. You knew immediately if you met another LD owner that you had something in common. Everybody has DVD. Even my sister, and she has no real interest in movies other than to pass the time.
Brudder, Ah feel yur pain .
The argument has been made that since DVD is such a mainstream medium that JSP has to be catered to. Seemingly (because I know alot of flicks were released in P&S on LD) this was not the case with LD. I do definately agree with the poster above that misses the format but does not miss the incredibly high prices. I was just re-discovering my LD collection when DVD came along. DVD also made alot of my valuble LDs not so valuble anymore, but que sera sera. The last LD I bought was One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest SE set that was on sale (Very nice set, it's like a coffee table book). Unfortunately, the new bad DVD habit of buying and not watching has kept me from spinning Cuckoo .
Cheers.
