Laserdisc vs Dvd Is there really that much of a difference?

[Liete]

Well because I spontaniously bought the Urusei Yatsura R1 (USA)box set on laserdisc it didnt cost me that much, like $66 total, less than 1/4 what buying the same thing on dvd would. I ordered a cheap player off of ebay and plan to do a Dvd conversion with my Dvd recorder. I noticed laserdisc were very cheap on ebay, and ordered a wide variety of them, movies, and anime alike, because I know ill be able to hook it up to my Dvd recorder for a quick conversion. Do you think this was wise, yes or no?
