Early 90s, I was sitting in a doctor's waiting room reading some entertainment-related magazine when I came across some blurb about this technology called laser discs. It referenced one of my favorites, Alien, with all kinds of extra footage included on the laser disc box set release for that movie. So I went out and bought a player and that movie, and this led to a collection of such movies that cost me roughly $6K. Which is now worth about $1 in total. Ouch.Quote:
for movies it was later disc in early/mid90s

I don't know for sure, but I do know that we made a clean break in 2000. All of our vhses only went up to 1999.
I can only narrow ours down to American Pie, The Matrix, Austin Powers 2, or The World Is Not Enough.

The bad joke on me was that the Alien LD cost roughly $100; just about 5 years later, the DVD would come out with all that extra stuff and cost maybe $25, or whatever DVDs cost when they first emerged in the late 90s. Wish I could get Doc Brown's Delorean and go back in time to kick myself in the ass.
yeh my bro ended up with about 100 laser discs. He had a pricey Sony player that had two lasers or whatever (so you didn't have to flip it half way)Cinco Ranch Aggie said:Early 90s, I was sitting in a doctor's waiting room reading some entertainment-related magazine when I came across some blurb about this technology called laser discs.

You must have missed where I stated that I dropped roughly SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS on those damn paper weights.Milwaukees Best Light said:Cinco Ranch Aggie said:Early 90s, I was sitting in a doctor's waiting room reading some entertainment-related magazine when I came across some blurb about this technology called laser discs.

Time travel for $75. Holy low bar, Batman.
My last was some John Wayne. Wallyworld used to have a dump bin of vhs and I would buy John Waynes I hadn't seen before.
That's the latest one I can remember off the top of my head. And count me in the collection of people that had an absurd amount of DVDs through and after college. Been going through and selling most of them recently. Just don't really watch many movies at home any moreatm0812 said:
