Re: Are you a "collector"? said by Dustyn:Laserdiscs.
They are the wave of the future!
There was a time in the early 90's when every friend of mine that was a star wars fan wanted to come over and see my wide screen copies of Star Wars. Apparently it was a big deal.
There are also some Criterion LD's that I have that I believe are still, to this day, better transfers than the DVD releases put out by other companies. |

kudos:1 | I have Laserdisc titles that are simply not available on DVD, at least not in their extended/roadshow/widescreen editions.
- It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
- The Alamo
- Colossus: The Forbin project (widescreen on LD, pan & scan on Region 1 DVD)
Then there's my Toy Story: Ultimate Toy Box multi-disc box set jam packed with tons of features including all of the Pixar shorts ever made until then, including the original "Knick Knack" with the enormous round boobies. 
And, of course, my "Faces" Star Wars discs. No point in buying "ruined" versions in any format.

I've got a ton of titles too... many new many used. I don't think I'll ever part with them. I've got the Star Wars: Special Edition Trilogy (factory sealed) The Godfather Special Edition (factory sealed) Toy Story (factory sealed)... Akira, T2 Special Edition (factory sealed) ID4 DTS (factory sealed).... I've got too many used and new to list. Got a brand new/pristine gently used Pioneer Elite CLD-99 unit to play them on too. DTS titles sound utterly fantastic along with 5.1 AC-3 titles like Top Gun.

Remember that cool hidden "Graffiti Wall" here on BBR? After the name change I became the "owner", so to speak as it became: Dustyn's Wall »[Serious] RIP

The faces are probably one of the best version to own of Star Wars.
I also ended up never opening or viewing my factory sealed copies of Star Wars: Classic Creatures: Return of the Jedi (1983), Star Wars: A New Hope: Making of: As told by C-3PO and R2-D2 (1977), Star Wars: SP FX: The Empire Strikes Back (1980).
All this collector talk makes me think I'm entering an Elite club...

2 edits | It's a pretty fantastic player I think? I'm pretty sure the CLD-D99 is nearly identical to the Elite CLD-99, no? I think it was one of the first "Elite" (maybe last?) players that had the new 3D Y/C separation comb filters.
I love the Rosewood side panels... wish Pioneer still made players/receivers with them.  I have a retired Pionner Elite DVL-91 DVD/LD combo unit in storage also.
