First of all, I’m aware this isn’t exactly a new discussion here, so I’m sorry if this thread comes across as unneccessary. I’ve tried Googling for this question and searching on these forums, but I haven’t really found anything concrete.

Having bought the Blu-ray box, I’d like to have a good, legit presentation of the OOT. I’ve read a lot about GOUT and its weaknesses, and seen a lot of LD capture screencaps, but I’m still not really sure what to get. In the light of GOUTs sub-par standards, I’m tempted to get a decent Laserdisc player (definitely a Pioneer - I’ve read that much) and a set of OOT LDs. But is blowing a Laserdisc up to 42" even worth it?

Ultimately, my question is simple. Do you guys think I should buy GOUT and deal with the ugliness of that transfer, or will the more difficult and more expensive approach - getting the LD gear and the discs themselves - be more worthwhile? And on the subject, which discs (out of those that are relatively easy to obtain) do you recommend?
