I saw a LaserDisc player at Goodwill today for only $20. I so wanted to take it home with me. But there was no way to test the item, as the store didn't have a single laserdisc.
Would you guys have brought it home?
Maybe before Bluray came out, but now there is no point beyond the novelty and coolness of having a laserdisc.
I'd agree, the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages for laserdisc. As far as I can tell, it might be cool if you want a collection, and its a great format for film buffs, especially since you can pinpoint a single frame in a movie, which no other format does( I think), it can auto correct errors on the disc better the dvd, and has a better resolution than vhs. But besides that, I'm not really interested in the format and collecting for it, the only way I'd probably get some is if my neighbor ever decides to get rid of his laserdisc collection, but that's pretty much it.
