Anyway: yesterday was a memorable day. My parents and I watched the last episode of the 136 Avengers episode we have on DVD. We started watching everything in January 2008. Next: watch all of them... a 2nd time! Really? I'm impressed. You've timed that just right to watch them on the new Optimum se...

Anyone who remembers the trouble to which you had to go to buy a Laserdisc (and I'm one who does), will tell you that LD never gained the high ground in High Street stores like Blu-ray has (certainly in the UK and Europe). Well, I don't see lots of BluRay, either, you know. More: past Christmass th...

I think so, yes.

This is a difficult one for me.
The 2nd Emma Peel season is definitively the best one for me, but it's rather difficult to decide on an order for the others. I don't know them well enough.

Whatever system comes next will have to be backwards-compatible with DVD, people are getting fed up having to re-buy everything 3 or 4 times (at least BluRay players can play DVDs!)... I think that having to keep buying is the idea behind it. Right so. "Hollywood" has the idea that if the...

Oh, no, it's not doing very well.
They still sell as much DVD players/recorders in half a year as there has been sold BR-players during all years IN TOTAL.

My idea too. BTW: in 2010 both Panasonic and Sony will present a new technology, meant to replace BluRay. Both companies will present their OWN technology. So: two different systems, which won't be interchangeable. THe systems would be on the market in 2011. All that means that BluRay is already dea...

I have everything on DVD, except for the 1st season of course (with the exception of THE FRIGHTENERS, which was put as a bonus on a Cathy Gale disc. And I also don't have The New Avengers, because I haven't found it on dvd with Dutch subtitles yet. A remark: there are 136 episodes of The Avengers av...
