Well, I feel like a broken record again...;-)...the reason I bought my Ld player about 5 or so years ago was to transfer my Faces Lds to DVD. However, since the Gout DVDs were released, those are my discs of choice to watch. My Pioneer cld-d703 was one of the better players, (no match for the Pioneer X0 or X9) but the Lds look fuzzy compared to the Gout DVDs.

So, the reason I've decided to keep my Ld player isn't because of the SW Lds, but because of all of the other Ld content out there that is not available on DVD, and may never be. I have the 1984 Moroder version of Metropolis on Ld- which is still my favorite version of the film, and I doubt if that will ever make it to DVD. I'm sure that I will discover other Lds in the future that contain films and bonus material, commentaries, etc., that will never be released on DVD.
