Yes. I still have dozens of laserdiscs, and a laserdisc player I still use (gasp!). In fact, I just watched the Roan laserdisc of THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME the other day. Now that LDs are going the way of the T. Rex, you can get 'em cheap at places like Half Price Books. Some LDs have superior presentations than their DVD counterparts (including JURASSIC PARK, actually). DVDs and Blu-Rays are steps up, but Laserdiscs sure kicked the snot out of VHS tapes. What a misbegotten, dogshit media that was.

I bought many laserdiscs from TOWER RECORDS and a local shop called LASERLAND. I also used a mail order store that was in California. I can't remember the name of it though. Was it LASERVISION? I used them frequently.

SPECTRUM? Never heard of the place. They probably weren't at the Mall of America when I was working at the Barnes & Noble there.

I had a collection of about 1500 LDs back in the day and just as I started to replace them with their DVD counterparts I was able to get a pretty good price for the ones I sold...but this was ages ago and now no one wants them. I still have around 150 or so of them, mostly boxsets, DTS titles, and Criterion sets. My player still works well though the picture quality, especially when compared to Blu-ray, looks like VHS. The sound, however, is still very full and robust. The DTS discs are still sound very impressive. @Joecaps: I have the LOST HORIZON LD that you produced and I must say, I still love it! Cheers! Harry

I have about 50 laserdiscs but never plays them although I have a Pioneer player that works great. The only thing I use my LDs is when I go to conventions and lets people sign them. A Nightmare on Elmstreet (Elite) has Robert Englunds autograph and the tag "This is GOD" (a very nice cover with Freddy in black and the background in his famous red/green sweater) Beastmaster has Marc Singers name on it, Timebomb has Michael Biehn signed it, Lone Wolf McQuade has David Carradine, Fright Night has Chris Sarandon, Hellraiser 3 has Doug Bradley Pumpkinhead has Lance Henriksen cool things to have signed... I do have some Ultimate Fighting discs and obsceur horror titles like Cassandra, Mausoleum, Visitors (the Swedish Besökarna), Motel Hell, Silent Night 1-4, Dust Devil, and some ELITE titles...and the Directors Cut of Scream along with others
