Pioneer ends LaserDisc player production

• Were these the precursor to DVD's then? I've never heard of these! But then again I was born in '86 Posted by Matt, UK
• I remember walking through a department store as a wee nipper about 15 years ago and seeing a 50" Pioneer telly with a LaserDisc player beneath. I forget what film was being shown at the time but I remember wanting one straight away...they just looked the business: as retro as an LP with that 'cutting edge' thing going on.
  
  Where exactly can people buy laserdiscs these days? What titles were released on this format?

• Nearly all major hits and others as well, independent etc. - I think about 7500 titles in the US and about the same in Japan. europe had its own market which was unadequately fed and died before it could breathe, it never really started. Technically it was the high quality medium before DVD, regarding the fact that there has never been a real S-VHS market.
  Having had 3 players, I didn't know they were still making them. Posted by AUGE, Suisse
