I will tell you true.. I never see a laserdisc before! I have see them in shops but I did not watch one. The machine to play laserdiscs now are expensive because the technology are old and they break a lot. But did you know in Japan the Laserdisc was available in early 1980's and was quite successful things? It was much more popular for a long time than VHS tape. This is because in Japan the laserdisc was stay quite cheap but in other countries it was very expensive. Also there is humidity problem in asian country (very humidity!! ) and this make the VHS tape easy to damage 😕
Almost all Laserdisc player machines were made by Pioneer a Japanese company. they sold a lot and many great movies and anime were put onto it.
The Laserdisc size is big! Like the old records machine. So the player also very big. The country the Laserdisc have most success in the world is Japan so maybe we will look at some interesting Laserdisc released there later. 🥰
