Really not promising due to a couple of reasons: First not enough titles specially new available. Higher cost to manufacture related to construction itself (compare polycarbonate ammound used per laser disc and per DVD) and quantity produced of each. Second have two friends with Laser disc and DVD and Laser disc player collecting dust. Their experience also provides better image and less complicated operation no turning of discs. The decrease in production rate mentioned above also gives a good pointer to consider. Regards
