Pioneer still manufactures LDs and LD/DVD players, look in thier Elite section , you can get a cheap one for about $1,800.00 and the LDs are still being made in Japan, I get mine off of eBay, ie...Titan A.E. and The Beach cost me~$60 each... LDs give more life to movies Ratta, I know, I own alot of DVDs and LDs and when compared back to back the LDs are better %85 of the time, the DVDs are cool in thier own ways as well, but as for the movie, its best watched on LD, you get more of a movie theatre feel, instead of a home experience....watch Robotech for example on LD then on DVD youll see the block noise on the DVD really badly and it ruins the anime.
