Quite an advanced age for a venerable format! Although there was a pre-production test batch of Jaws back in 1977, the first commercial release hit the market end of 1978 as Jaws (1975) [12-001]. And somehow, even the first released can still be played today! Attachment:

(is it what heavy laser rot looks like on a cake? ) Let's see if other formats will still play 40 years after entering the market. For some reason, *6* seems to be the magic number for new video commercial formats: - DVD -> 1996
- HDDVD/BD -> 2006
- UHD BD -> 2016
Let's synchronize our watches now and try to play these formats by, respectively, 2036, 2046 and 2056! Julien

Happy 40th Disco-Laserdisc vision and many more rot free years. "If they ever tell my story let them say that I walked with giants. Formats rise and fall like the winter wheat, but these names will never die. Let them say I lived in the time of DiscoVison, tamer of formats. Let them say I lived in the time of Laserdisc".

It's quite astonishing to think about the fact that high definition video in 1080i was actually available on High-Vision Laserdic years before the advent of DVD, which does have inferior maximal definition, and way more than 10 years before 2K Blu-Ray Disc or HD-DVD !
