Imagine if DVDs never made it as the general medium format for video. Laser Discs would have ruled the world!!! Just when i thought i had nothing to post today, I go to a friends house and on his desk, he has a 14 pound, 13 disc, Tekkaman Blade set from Japan. The set is beatiful, all 13 discs packed in cardboard sleeves. But this is testament as to why Laser Dics never made it as a regular format.... The darn thing is super heavy!!!! Shipping from Japan alone was $90. Ten sets or more like this on shelfs would bring any wall down.
