Ah, I remember my friend had a Laserdisc player, back in what feels like must have been the seventies, but was surely later? I was very jealous. An optical disc the size of an vinyl LP, with most films spread over two discs. I can't remember whether the player sucked the disc in PS3 style or had a drawer large enough to hold underwear. Still they had their early adopter priorities right as they lived in a house with an outside loo and a tin bath that had to be brought in on Sundays.

I resent your choice of words used to describe blu-ray. It was decided by various forces; not solely by the consumer, as you imply.

You resent it? Really? You care that much?

@williamn - Hugo is making no such implication. By 'our choice' he could mean TR or the industry as a whole backed it over HDDVD. He's not speaking on behalf of the consumer, although I think you'll find the majority of us didn't care much either way, or were confused. Most consumers just wanted the format war to end so we'd know which player to buy. I'm sure ps3 owners like myself are happy at the way it turned out!

My favourite memory of laserdisc was handing a laserdisc to a friend on magic mushrooms and asking him ‘put this cd on’. Oh how we laughed (for five hours!)

Still have my collection and pioneer player - still looks great, and unknowing guests marvel at the size of the things... before I tell them truth....
