Remember that initial jump from VHS to DVD?

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

Some laserdiscs have better version of the movies and better features that never came to DVD or BluRay

word
they got complete versions of movies n shyt

 

[I love Latina women]

yup, like it was yesterday. the irony of all of this is now dvds ain't worth more than 3 dollars if that we the way we got netflix, hulu and so many other ways of watchin' what we want to. technology is a muthafukka

The first dvd i saw was gladiator wit surround sound
When i got home i didnt even want to look at my vhs anymore

Our VCR kept eating up tapes, so my parents decided to upgrade to a DVD player. The thing was they didn't buy any movies for it. So for like a week or so it was unused till it was my sister's birthday and someone gave her Fast and Furious on DVD. We popped it in and it seemed like all our jaws dropped at how clear everything looked.

I think we all started thinking why didn't we get a DVD player earlier

 

[jadillac]

Gladiator
Fight Club

First ones i remember owning.

And a few other choice selections

WM 15 was the first and only wrestling DVD release for a long time. I had to get it soon as I got a player.

Seeing the Rock at his heel pinnacle walk down the aisle in crystal clear quality and 5.1 surround

[Cat piss martini]

Day one dvd nikka.....
the hood didnt catch on for a few years.

My first DVD was Snatch that my brother bought for us, and we all gathered around the PS2 and watched it in awe.

Back then, DVD's used to come with nice art on the physical disc, now everything comes with that same lousy grey overlay

What were the name of those DVD's the size of records? I saw Field of Dreams on one of those and it looked like HD 720p.

 

[ORDER_66]

I didnt really care about DVD quality until Blu-Rays came and crushed the game.....

My uncle had superfly and The Mack on laser, they looked awesome on them old school projection big screen joints with the bulbs in the front...

I'll say this much though, DVD cases look classier than Blu Ray cases . Not much of a collector (I don't care to own a collection really) but Blu Ray's look like they belong in a nursery.

I will say the companies were a million times more imaginative with the DVD cases and the inside artwork .. compared to the generic shyt most blu's have.

like the pulp fiction dvd came with a menu for that diner

the blu has nothing

was thinking earlier though thats its funny CDs have been around for decades yet movie formats change every few years

 

[Young Bishop]

That jump was crazy back in the day. My dad bought a new 50 inch Sony tv, and Toshiba dvd player from best buy. First movie I ever saw on It was Behind Enemy Lines. Lol
my dad not knowing you didn't have to rewind dvds

Dad Make sure you rewinds those after you done!

Me You don't have to

Dad

Me Yup

Dad



Also that transition of porn from VHS to DVD was No more waiting on your favorite chick to pop up. No more hitting the tracking button on your VHS to stop the picture from jumping.

 

[nieman]

The best part for me about the DVDs to me was the commentary. No longer did you have to wait until "Making of..." came on to hear cast/crew talk about the movie lol.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

The Matrix on DVD was the big must have......dem memories.
