Leo- I am an avid laser disc collector and the fact that you have movie breaks(in the form of flips) is reason alone that i intend to purchase one. The format is familiar because it looks just like a cd, that is another reason I will buy one. I have about 1000 laser discs and they take up alot of storage space. As far as it being beta all over again, I doubt it very much. You have to understand that there is a huge vested interest to make this work. A video tape, once you figure in all the costs runs about $3.50 to reproduce not to mention the freight and storage costs. Now on the the other side a dvd in large numbers will cost .80, for a format that never wears out. A laser disc costs between $6-10.00 to manufacture that is why ld never took off big in this country, it was never cheap enough. With a retail of about $25.00 each with plenty of room for discounting that is another reason I intend to purchase a player(the unit I am buying is a pioneer that has both ld and dvd capablities) that is not out yet. Yes the picture is far superior to vhs, but an analogy to the mini disc is probably more apropriate. There is a format that really never took off(I personally love the 3 that I have) because of its misperception by the public. Most people don't even know what md is. Well there was no big reason,besides the few companies that offer the md format to support a big campaign of advertisement for this recordable little disc.Other that the manufacturers there was no one else to lend to the products development and support. Overall its imortant what you think, not me or anyone else. So go check one out I think It will give a better opinion on what the future will hold. regards aleks
