It would give you and the Wookie an excuse to stop by my cantina to shoot a few spheres anyway.

I picked up a 3DO controller for my 2.00 Goodwill 3DO console for $10.00 shipped on ebay

and while looking around my home today ran across 21 3DO game and demo disks

Retro gaming later this week

ok, this doesn't have anything to do with LDs, but its sort of retro!!


OK, who remembers CD long boxes??

I used to save mine!!

[Sid]

i do i do... but i dont know why you bothered saving them..

after all you only took the short box to school...

[MrGneiss]

[FTKServices]

that was good...

[hanabi]

anyway...

Children...



this weekend, I was mostly watching...

Laser Discs!!


Jumanji

The Crow

and Batman Forever!!

All are movies I haven't seen for years, and I enjoyed them immensely
this time around...

I'm pretty sure 'Jumanji' and 'The Crow' had extra footage too

[hanabi]

Well just for a laugh I thought I would 'watch' this Laserdisc Player on ebay...

Much as I appreciate Laserdisc quality, I thought it was a little overpriced, so imagine my surprise to find the Auction
has ended early with a Buy It Now!!

[Tulsa]

Imagine the surprise when this buyer finds out about blu-ray..

[luckydog]

Maybe its Jano and he wants to send a fake $5,000.00 Western Union money order.

then have the guy ship it with a real $3,900.00 money order

[Sid]

Got your cable just today
Killed my groove, I`ve got to say, hey
(...hey) Western Union

I had to resurrect this thread about laserdiscs...I was a relatively early adopter of the format and loved it. With a Pioneer Elite tv, a shure surround sound module(hmm, wonder where that is), some NHT speakers and a subwoofer, the neighbors were blown away by the sights and sounds of this newfangled contraption.

But I digress, I have some LD's that are in pristine condition, might have watched them a couple of times each. (damn dvd's ) I would love to offer them to this community. They really aren't worth that much on the open market, so I thought I would put them in the "pachi trading forum" that Sid recently created and see if I could trade for some pachi balls for my 1st pachi that hopefully will be arriving today from Chewy.

Thought I would let you guys know!

Thanks,

Ron

I just picked up a Sony laser disk player for $5.00 at goodwill a few days ago, it loads and spins disk, but won't play them

I'll have to play around with it more!!

I have a couple of pioneer players already and around 100 laser disks

[MrGneiss]

I buy cheap laserdiscs at the used bookstore for $1-$5...Its much more fun to buy them now at that price than it was when they were $40 each!!

[derek1960]

oh and the Music Discs appear to hold their value and there are not too many about,
although I did manage to obtain a couple of Kate Bush ones!!

WOW!
I was in love with Kate Bush
You know i think i still am
