because it's like a vinyl record player for massive CD's with picture
Owen Clark
to be quirky
Nathaniel Ortiz
Best sound quality on any home release
Brandon Peterson
how's the video resolutions?
Julian Sanders
Better than VHS, worse than DVD. It's somewhere in the middle.
Blake Baker
there are certain versions of movies only released on laser disc
Grayson Hall
Such as?
Anthony Scott

Oh yeah, great conversations.
Adrian Scott
i think the theatrical version of star wars is one
there must be a list somewhere
Adrian Scott
He means on Sup Forums.
Zachary Reed
wow. that is actually pretty fascinating stuff
Brandon Nelson
Nobody on Sup Forums owns a laserdisc. You're thinking of /m/.
Luke Garcia
The sound quality is unbeatable due to being analogue not digital sound.
The gatefold (?) sleeves also make them valuble for collectors.
If you wish to watch the original Star Wars in the best possible quality, this is the way to do it.
Don't take my word for it though here's a helpful and comfy video breaking it down for you...

Yeah too bad that given it uses a record & needle type technology that most RCA video discs are in pretty rough shape by now.
Jonathan Reed
Yeah but you can find that as a torrent as well
Jack Wright
I've heard this it's sound is analogue not digital meme. Unlike the RCA video Disc mentioned here which uses record technology to give analogue signal, how does a laserdisc do that when as far as I can tell it is literally just a giant VCD?

Hipster cred
Joshua Evans
My parents still have the 200 or so laser discs I grew up watching, and if I bought a player I'm sure they wouldn't mind if I took them off of their hands.

>this dumb cunt wasted over 300+ pounds for a space waster that has shitter quality than a bluray.
FUCKING KEK
Landon Morales
>pounds
Nathaniel Richardson
It's a trade off, lower resolution and cropped image but hey no Hayden Christensen in RotJ or Jar Jar for that matter at the end being heard shouting "WE'SA FREE!"
Jason Thomas
Laserdiscs came with cool covers and artwork much like vinyl. However, I can't see why you'd buy the player and get discs over a DVD or blue ray. It sucked flipping them mid movie.
Benjamin Moore
Watching non-digitally restored (re: tampered) prints of films where the actual negatives they were struck from have since become faded.
>Technicolor Dye Transfer prints notwithstanding
Jack Harris
Why don't you post some of those cool covers faggot?
Jeremiah Jenkins
girl says
>hey faggot, show me your laserdisc collection
what do?
