Finland
Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Pony trekking or camping,
Or just watching TV,
Finland, Finland, Finland,
It's the country for me.
You're so near to Russia,
So far from Japan,
Quite a long way from Cairo,
Lots of miles from Vietnam.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Eating breakfast or dinner,
Or snack lunch in the hall,
Finland, Finland, Finland,
Finland has it all.
You're so sadly neglected,
And often ignored,
A poor second to Belgium,
When going abroad.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall,
Finland, Finland, Finland,
Finland has it all.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall,
Finland, Finland, Finland,
Finland has it all.
Finland has it all... |

For me it's mostly nostalgic reasons. I never had LD player/discs back in the day, i was many times close getting one but never did. It was just too expensive for me at the time. But now, there's no such limits when you're almost 50. I love the whole works, specially the cover art, the whole process of physical disks (it's just not the same with DVD's or BR's) as there's obiously something similar with vinyl records (sold my collection in early 2000's... sadly). As well, watching LD's doesn't count it out watching other formats or even, streaming, what you want to see. It's just one part of the whole experience - even more collectable.
I had stopped buying pretty much DVD/BR's after we got our first child, as no time as well career things. That's something like 12 years. Yes. Bizarre. I do have atleast 600+ DVD's so it's not like i'd run out anything to watch.
I've had LD player for almost two weeks and i've bought... almost 60 discs. Where all this will end to?
Oh dear, well that's it now and I'm afraid that there is no escape I'm afraid!
Seriously though, welcome....and enjoy this great format :thumbup: |

| Personally, I just like the cover. But I wouldn't pay more than $30 for it! |

DVD was tiny LD with worse sound. :)
It's too bad LD was subject to it's sunset coinciding with the very beginning of the rise of widescreen TV becoming a thing in the US. It would have been nice to get a lot more anamorphic 16:9 disc options to take full advantage of the resolution, which was such a major advantage for DVD.
Probably wouldn't have made any difference. Manufacturers probably also wanted to move away from pressing LDs since they required dedicated hardware; meanwhile you could easily convert a plant pressing CDs to press DVDs as well, so there's a significant cost factor as well.
Plus DVD has better color reproduction. Movies shot in low light and low contrast look pretty dreadful on laserdisc. |

Not ashamed of posting a pic anymore (gear list in my sig, full gear list is here).
