Who else is noticing this phenomena, it seems that all of our favorite films on LD that have never been released on DVD are now turning up on Bluray. I for one don't care about Bluray but am starting to lose my interest in collecting LDs now that its cheaper to buy it again and shipping is sometimes free, the LD you have to pay an arm and a leg for it. I'm still going to keep the LD dream alive in my house for now and will cut down on the collection. But how do others feel about this. ________________________________ the rein-o official signature:

I guess I don't understand the question, if there is one. If there is a BR of something I like, I buy it. I'm sure as hell not going to avoid it. I'll keep the LD around because...I never sell anything. DVD...what is DVD again?

As far as I can remember, the LE DVDs of the theatrical cuts were the original 2.35:1 AR. Of course, I don't own them (I did buy them for a friend for her B-day), but if they were the same transfers as the LDs, they should still be 2.35:1.
I've read nothing that the aspect ratios were fiddled with, unless they lopped off the sides to fit a 1.78:1 picture on most TVs, but then again, it's non-anamorphic, so that's kind of defeating the point of having that AR.

Ah, apologies, I was wrong. Ah well, DVD and Laserdisc obviously tie, then, at having the definitive release of Star Wars right now. My point is, that might change soon if the rumours are true!

Good day rein-o, Good to read your posts as always, For myself personally Laserdisc will always be regardless of what new format comes along, as I have always been excited about the whole Laserdisc experience, and the fact that I have invested much time and effort into obtaining each movie title and hardware to go along with it was a conscious choice knowing full well that I would keep. Their are so many main a subtle reasons why I am fond of this format, and this will always stay with me. ULTRA 4K Blu-Ray is close at hand now and roll on CES JAN 2016, but this will not take away the limelight shine that I have for Laserdisc, but will only enhance it. Kindest Regards
