<sorta off topic> I guess I set my terms too loosely. I do my best to avoid pirated goods. I was sorta thinking of buying these things at the local video emporium, with the imprimatur of all relevant taxing authorities. So far, I don't see a lot of older good stuff on 'disc (like Star Wars or the Indiana Jones stuff. What's the holdup?), with notable exceptions like Terminator I+II. The titles I see at local stores still are in the low hundreds (and heavily weighted toward some of the lamer new releases), while there must be more'n ten thousand analog videocassettes there, including meticulously complete arcana like the full set of Lost in Space. Or those "crash" videos they market during motorsports events :-) These are things which need to migrate into the medium to make it really sell! PS - aren't Hong Kong 'discs incompatible with my USA regional code?
