It was all the rage in the '80's!

Currently in Singapore and found these (Mega drive Megs and PS1 Optimus) hidden away on a shelf..

I personally found that LDs were a bigger thing in the 90s (in my neighbourhood anyway). I was still using LDs up until 2004... I still have an LD player. Should probably offload it.

I love how in the G1 cartoon's "The Ultimate Doom" story, the Cybertronians are storing their data on laser discs. I was talking to a Year 12 class about laser discs a few weeks ago and none of them knew what I was talking about. They also didn't know that floppy disks are actually floppy. They thought that the hard plastic cases of the old 90mm floppy disks were the actual disks! (cos ya know, the outer casing of a USB stick is totally the USB drive itself ). I tried to explain about how the older 133mm floppy disks had soft covers and the whole thing was floppy (as did the 200mm disks, but that was before my time; I saw a few in some offices, but never at home). Having said that, considering that The Ultimate Doom came out in 1985 - the end of the video tape format war between VHS and Betamax - having data storage on laser discs was a pretty novel concept.


^Although in Bumblebee's hands that must be one HUGE laser disc!
