I'm surprised it's taken me this long to get on this forum.

I'm in west county of St. Louis, MO and 35 years old. I own a lowly, but tank-like LD-V2200 that I bought at least 15 years ago and have 40+ discs.

I originally got into LaserDisc because there were a number of rare concert films I wanted that had not (at the time) been re-released on a newer format like DVD. Plus I was always fascinated by the format anyway, and was never able to convince my parents to buy into it when I was a kid. Those suckers were expensive!

Welcome to the forum. Even though it is low-end, I really like the LD-V2200.

Thanks. I like it too, it just keeps working. It'll probably outlast me.

Nice to see another programmer here!

Absolutely. Every now and then I'll watch a film on it but I primarily use it as my disc checker. It is a keeper for sure.

Welcome to the madness from New Zealand!
Whats your favourite LD you own?

What was your first LD, last LD and "everything" LD?

Thank you!

The first LD I owned was Genesis In Concert 1976 which is the reason I got into LD in the first place, it wasn't available in any other release at the time, and it's a fairly rare disc. Also my favorite because I like the band a lot, and it remains the most rare disc I own.

Probably a third of my collection is various music discs.

The last one I picked up was Event Horizon.

By "everything" LD, do you mean my personal holy grail? I'd love a copy of The Matrix.

But not for the prices they're going for!
