I am an avid Laserdisc collector and would be grateful if any of yourselves on this site, who are still into the laserdisc, software and Hardware would get in touch, as i look forward to hearing from you all.
So... Broomo/Zigfried whatever you call yourself these days, what kind of laserdisc software do you have?
Sorry friend what do you mean by 'whatever you call yourself these days'
Where do i start with answering your question?
I started purchasing Laserdisc's in March 1998 97% of my collection are from the USA.
3% are PAL (but most PALS are not that good.)
From 1999 to present day i have been purchasing many titles from Japan and i must admit i do prefer these (the cover art and quality covers faultless.
By the end of this year i should have completed the purchase of most title i am looking for
Currently have reserved in Japan with one seller aprox: 45 titles and aprox: 8 titles with another.
I did not realise how attached i would be to the format, but i am glad i did.
I love changing the disc's, the sound of the players and so on.
The only drawback about this format is the cost of the disc's and player's, but i guess that's the price you pay for being different.
Shall be purchasing a Brand new Pioneer ELITE CLD 97 in August, from a seller in the USA which will take about four payments.
In July i will be purchasing an HLD X9 from a seller (friend) in the uk which will also take about five payments.
Finally i shall be purchasing a Pioneer HLD X0 in 2008 from one of the sellers in Japan who will have the player fully serviced before shipment.
All this has been a labour of love for me and also a struggle, but i shall eventually get there.
How about things with yourself and how is life with you.
Kindest and sincere regards
