Which movie?

[Dude111]

Well there are a couple I would LOVE

ET - 1982 (Was this ever released on VD?? -- It must have been (The earliest VHS I can find of this is 1988 and that one was DIGITALLY RECORDED (There must be an earlier MCA VIDEOCASSETTE release (I havent found it though))))
The Goonies - 1985
The Terminator - 1984 (If its the right NTSC speed (The first VHS release is PAL (Even the NTSC one -- They messed up)))

Those are about the only ones I could possibly want from when VD was made


Thank you pac for seeing if ya have any of these

[pac.attack76]

Two bucks is cheap, CED at flea markets is a weird situation in my area. People usually always want crazy amounts for players and discs. I've gotten LaserDiscs and LD players for McDonald's value meal prices while the last CED player I saw at Goodwill, dirty and without a stylus, was bundled with five discs for $120. Absolute insanity.

Wow. All of that for a virtually useless technology that barely functions in the best of conditions. VHS, LD, DVD (even Beta) are all better or equal in quality and light years ahead in reliability. CED is what it always was: a conversation peice.

Exactly, it's as if everyone in my area thinks CED is some old high end esoteric format. Seen this same trend for years. Though like I said with LD (and VHS), I never see them expensive in the wild, like the same folks think that format is just trash no one wants.

DVD shouldn't even be mentioned in the same list with beta or ld. Just digital crap. Crap that's already what? 17 year old technology? Don't even get me started with bds. Just another reason to get people to go out and re-buy everything just like they did when DVD came out. I watched people who had movies already on VHS go buy those same movies on DVD just because it was the "new" thing.

21 years old actually.

That's why I had a question mark next to it. Makes no difference to me either way. I didn't even hear about them until 98. Kinda wish VHS would have continued on and DVD never existed.
