What is it about adverts for outdated technology that makes them so fun to watch. Make an ad like this for Wii U and I will finally take the plunge and buy one.

Because in the 80's people saw a future coming that they imagined. It was an exciting time. Everything was about computers and space. Magical time.

I have one question: Why isn't there a hybrid Laserdisc/Blu-Ray/DVD/HD-DVD/VCD/SVCD/CD/HVD/UHD Blu-Ray/VMD/EVD Player? It would be easy money!

Because all systems need different laser optical systems. There are combined player that can read LD, DVD, CD, CD-Video and VCD. But for BluRay and HD-DVD you need special lasers with different wavelengths and decoder.

@@astrodome1994 The best one is the Pioneer DVL-919. It has component and NTSC. You can easily find some on Ebay or other markt places. Because they are very highend and need no maintenance, the price is high. My one is over 20 years old and never get an error.

LaserVision predates LaserDisc (the difference is the audio, Laservision is analogue audio only). Laserdisc and later videodisc /cdv were reboots of the format.
@pHD77 6 жыл бұрын
telocho That's not what I've heard. From what I've heard, the term LaserDisc was coined by Pioneer as a name for their product line to market their LaserVision players and had nothing to do with whether the discs contained analog or digital sound (sort of like the way RCA named a product line SelectaVision for their TVs and video products). The common term for the format was LaserVision all along. But because Pioneer basically became the only company to truly bet on the format, the term "LaserDisc" unofficially became the new name for the format until such time it actually became official.

Old ads have a kind of naiveness to them that is fascinating to watch. They are not aware that they are making an Ad that is meant to fool you, and so the ad seems so honest. We live in kind of sad times because now ads know they just want your money so their tone is always happy and they try to distract you from their true intentions. Or maybe I am seeing things.

They didn' tknow their disks were so bad, but the US release of this player went really, really badly. Those players (and these after a few years or so) seriously did not want to work.
