| | Posted: | | | | Title says it all: What was the first DVD, Bluray, HD-DVD, LD that you owned? (feel free to mention your first CD, cassette, VHS or anything that you'd like here.)
For me it was Disney films.
DVD: Pinocchio (purchased Oct 24, 1999)
Bluray: Sleeping Beauty and Snow White (purchased Oct 6, 2009)
I never did buy hddvd or ld as I thought they were not going to last long. I waiting quite a while for the bluray to be sure and the fact that Disney had the bluray/dvd combo helped make my decision.
How about you?
BTW, I did a search to see if this topic was done before and nothing came up. Apologies if I missed it. |

I was holding out for an Oppo but decided that I just cannot afford one yet so went with a Sony. They were all bluray/dvd combo packs. Now I have the Sony and it is also a 3D player but I won't be getting a 3D tv any time soon.  |

| | Posted: | | | | December 1980 My very first movie ( on vhs cassette ) was Blazing Saddles.. and I can't for the life of me explain the feeling of 'anxst' with that plastic shell in my hand.. All the action, all the music, all the comedy and dialogue buried within inches of my fingers ... hard to explain.. and it was the only time after countless thousands of furthur titles over the years after that I felt that way.. oh and price..? $89.00  | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.

I don't remember the first VHS I bought. Nor the first LP. I gave all my LPs to Goodwill several years ago. The VHS I've mostly gotten rid of as well. Didn't buy any HD, as I was waiting for the formats to sort out. | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
