The only place I've ever seen Laserdiscs are when my science teachers have used them. I like VHS, though. Especially Pro S-VHS, like my TV prod. teacher has.

Edit: they're out to get me…

I think Laserdiscs can pwn every format excpet reel. A LD could just look at a BLU ray and would shatter.

LD is the combination of the awesomeness of Chuck Norris, Mr. T and Bruce Lee. LD is what would happen of those 3 had a child together.

I've never used Betamax or LD, so I had to vote VHS. I use VCD's sometimes though and they own VHS

Don't tell me those are the players that have the video saved on like 2' diameter magnetic disks, are they?

Reason I ask is we have a device (broken) down in the basement that plays though. My parents tell me I used to watch those over and over but truth is that I don't remember it. And besides the disks this thing plays make LD look small. Squares about 2 feet in diameter, and about 1/2 inch thick, their monsters.

I still remember when magazines used to give away free VHS rather than DVD's...

Hmm, which one is best...how about the winner? :roll:

VHS, because the world has already determined it is the winner.

This poll has already been decided by the world.

VHS wins.

It WINS!!!
