I forgot to mention... Laserdisc was totally better than CED to begin with. Which is probably why Laserdisc survived as long as it did. Not only is Laserdisc a more convenient format, but the quality was obviously better. Although in CED's early reviews, supposedly it was reviewed as better than Laserdisc because I guess the 'Discovision' titles were absolute garbage. But after 1981 and until the end of time... it's obvious that Laserdisc was the better disc format of the two

@@michaelliptak358 Yeah I have one or two early DVDs at home and both are pretty subpar, to the point where my Great Escape VHS actually looks better than my Great Escape DVD. Perhaps in 1997 or so they haven't worked out all the kinks. I have no prior exposure to an actual DiscoVision title though I did hear they weren't reliable after awhile. The only LaserDisc I think I actually had a problem with was my NIXON movie, because I think it was probably poorly stored and the first disc had obvious laser rot on both sides (there goes eight bucks)

Ced discs are no good try finding one that will play all the way through without messing up

An imperfect format but not worth completely throwing away. I also suppose it depends on the quality of your player and the discs that you're provided with (important for hardware care). Some movies just turn out better than others I suppose. Sure, I like other formats like Betamax, VHS, DVD, HD-DVD, Blu-Ray, 4K, and LaserDisc a lot more, but at least CED has enough room to be unique on its own. I also have a friend that supposedly has a CED player that is "skip-less" but I've never seen it in action so I leave it up to my imagination to see how that works.

I have very many that play all the way through. It's all in how they were stored and many of them weren't stored well. It's also in the stylus and how well the machine is serviced. It's pretty simple. You take care of your equipment and media and it will work properly for you.

@@sturkrazee288 Very true. Which reminds me that I need to replace the needle in my machine, otherwise I might have to get something new. It's a shame they don't make replacement parts for these things anymore
