I did that with my laserdiscs. Waited till there were a $1 each and then I bought them.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 08-26-2011 01:19 AM                     That's funny: I got the Star Wars THX "faces" LaserDiscs when I joined the Columbia House LaserDisc Club for a $1 a pop. Talk about a discount! AJG  |  IP: Logged Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 08-27-2011 12:15 PM                    I got the original laserdisks for $1 each from Columbia house. At the time they listed for $60 each. It was quite the deal - and I still have them.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 08-27-2011 03:10 PM                     Yep, mine too were listed at $60 a pop. It was the bargain of the century at the time.

The only set on LD I don't have is the Dolby Digital/SE release  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 08-27-2011 03:27 PM                     I believe the SRP was actually $70, not $60 (but when you're getting 'em for $1, who cares).  |  IP: Logged Tom Petrov Five Guys Lover Posts: 1121 From: El Paso, TX Registered: Jan 2003 posted 08-27-2011 03:33 PM                    I was always surprised that LucasFilm/Fox never jumped on the DTS Laserdisc offering....they could of charged $90 for each.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 08-27-2011 06:31 PM                     No, but they could've.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-27-2011 07:05 PM                        Chris, I think you need to go a bit easier on Tom Petrov. Obviously English isn't his first language so he can't be expected to know much about it.  |  IP: Logged Tom Petrov Five Guys Lover Posts: 1121 From: El Paso, TX Registered: Jan 2003 posted 08-27-2011 07:09 PM                    I'll pay u $3.25 n'hr if u r really r concerned about my spell-ing. A bonus if you don't screw up!  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 08-28-2011 01:14 AM                     Brace yourself for another round of unnecessary "corrections" for the upcoming Blu-ray set.  |  IP: Logged Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 08-28-2011 09:43 PM                    Thank God Lucas rounded off the bottom left corner of the frame in that shot. That shit has been bothering me for years. I just want to know if Obi-Wan's dying lightsaber in his duel with Darth Vader will finally get fixed. Oh, and the lightsabers' SHADOWS in the Luke/Vader duel at the end of Jedi. Plus about a million other little things too. I'm glad the Humdinger Glitch is finally getting some attention too.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 08-31-2011 12:29 AM                     It gets worse if this is legit: Nooooooo! Please, someone send Luca Brasi after George.

Just one more reason why I won't be buying the Blu-Ray.  |  IP: Logged
