If it were the original trilogy and not laserdisc I might consider it.

You've got to be one of two people that used laserdiscs. You and my 4th grade teacher a long time ago.

Your jpegs are needlessly and annoyingly large.

It's nice to know that ebay isn't d*cking around with you the way they are me. I've been suspended twice in one day. I sorted it out the first time, the b*stards come around again and suspend me, cancel all my listings *AND* bids, and now I sit waiting for another 20 minutes to talk to someone on live chat. All I know is there are "security risks to my account." Apparently, I'm not allowed to know exactly what that is.

[edit: Also, massassi's swear filters aren't working.]

you do realize how collectible the laserdisc trilogy is, right??

I don't know for sure but I've heard that laserdisc offers superior video to DVD as the video is not nearly so compressed. I also do not know what the difference in resolution is.

I guess the original, unmolested trilogy is a real tresure but this also looks nice. Good luck!

Are you sure? Starting bid is $0.99, it's been up for 21 hours, and 0 bids have been placed.

Well, Hell, I can't let something like this go for $0.99.

I put in a bid.

[ Criminey, now I see why. S&H is outrageous. Oh, well. Worth the $ if I win. ]

$35 JUST FOR SHIPPING? whoops, caps lock, What do you even play these things on, ive never heard of laserdisc

The only reason it's not selling well is because it's the SE version. You play Laserdiscs, on Laserdisc players, and you are correct in thinking that Laserdisc offers a higher quality video than DVD. It's essentially the same technology, but people weren't too keen on using a disc the size of a record to watch movies, not to mention they break easily. I've got two copies of the OT on Laserdisc, one unopened, and I bought a laserdisc player off Ebay as well. Sound investment that is. I'm going to transfer the OT to DVD so I can have it on that format too in widescreen with THX and all the goodies.

What is a laserdisc? Are they expensive?

*needs a Laserdisc player*

Imagine a DVD the size of a vinyl record with better video (and audio?) quality.

Nope, DVD's are higher resolution. I couldnt be bothered to search for bitrate info though...

DVD: 720x576 (PAL) 720x360 (NTSC)
LD: 528x576 (PAL) 560x360 (NTSC)

Having people post on this thread who have no idea what a laserdisc is makes me feel old.

I hear that. I remember back when I was in school watching Science Sluths on the laserdisc and thinking that it was as good as it gets.

eh i think my shipping calculator is a bit off where do you live? 33$ is alot.

My chem teacher used laser discs....

I'd use EBay were it not for the obviously overly-obnoctious ad-like sales pages. Just tell me what it is in a normal color, with a white background, and I'll give you a normal dollar, with a real president on it. Until then, I'll keep trying to pay for my bids with fly-paper.

****

Dude you do realize it is only going for 5 bucks and they are worth hundreds to some people.

i set a $50 reserve hopfully ill get alot more bids near the last fear days which is when most people start bidding... not sure what its exactly work hear alot of people saying its worth tons and alot saying its special editiion its not worth crap...
