Well he got it exactly right, LaserDisc is great for collecting... but hardly a convenient format anymore. I think one of the nerd holy grails is the Star Wars discs because they are the "best quality available" of the original unedited movies. There are a few of my DVDs I remember the commentary track they speak of it as "commentary for this LaserDisc" so I imagine they were borrowed here and there. Or, unique commentary on LaserDisc vs. DVD (Blade Runner?)

Image quality is arguable and there is no real winner between LD and DVD. LD in video is still a composite signal and any LD player with S-Video is just running it through an internal comb filter. Technically its commercial quality VHS on a disc. Some movies remastered for HD and DVD like Ben-Hur there is a significant difference though, like no still image jittering.

But hey, can you really argue how cool it is to pull out a huge disc like that? (As long as its does not suffer from laser rot in the meantime)
