In my opinion LaserDisc is just that its an experience, the feel of the 12" disc in your hand, the artwork on the massive covers, the impressive if slightly loud noise of the disc spinning up in the player, its all rather magical for me. When I first brought my player and discs I planned to do this project and then sell them on to get back as much of my money as possible, but I have to say when the player and discs arrived I instantly fell in love with them and have decided to keep them, in fact they are now integrated into my home theatre system.

EvilSupes I totally agree that LaserDisc continues to impress and surprise me, possibly because I keep expecting it to look like a VHS instead of the near DVD quality that I feel they have, well... near 4:3 Letterboxed DVD quality any way, I wouldn't dream of comparing Anamorphic DVD with LaserDisc as thats like comparing apples with pears.
