Nah, Just saying.
However i wonder what that movie cd version looks like. Ive seen the dominion tank police version of those.

Laser disc is the last 'retro' media format I need to make a comeback. Please make it come back so I can buy affordable players

stop choosing to speak like an asshole

Collector culture plays a large part in it. Also there seems to be a cultural preference for (somewhat artistically, bless them) producing extremely high quality goods for knowledgeable and discerning customers alongside normal things for people who just want 'good enough'. Despite their stereotype as being unwesternized they are seemingly, as part of their own culture, quite materialistic.
