NEC Turbografx Laserdisc...anyone seen this before?

[jelloslug]

I bought it.  I'm going to copy it and post it as soon as I get the disc and a video capture card.

Woot!  Good to hear it's going to a pcefxer and that you're gonna share the goodies.

Very cool, I am excited to see it.  I do hope it is just the same old promo, so I have no low bidding regrets!

I really doubt it's anything new but I don't really collect memorabilia much so it's nice to have something that is kind of unique.

I did notice the run time seems shorter on the disc than the previous VHS promo videos which are posted on the internet.  Maybe it ends up being something new after all....

[yoyo]

Wow, haha. Laserdisc certainly isn't anything you see often these days anymore, that's interesting. Probably a promo thing as stated before though.

The disc showed up today, I still need the video capture card but here is the disc itself:











I did not know (and probably the seller too) that the instruction page was in the jacket.  It's nothing more than instructions on how to get the LD players that were probably supplied with whatever the disc goes to to repeat the disc.

[Punch]

I guess that the instructions confirm that it was used in trade shows and/or store displays (I would guess the 1st because they mention two specific laserdisc players instead of trying to generalize the instructions to all players).

The disc said P.O.P LaserDisc on it. P.O.P. usually means point of purchase. For those who've never worked retail its basically what all the marketing material is called.

My guess is that it's the disc that goes to one of these:

So I saw you said you still needed a capture card, but have you watched the disc itself already then? Anything new on it?

PS-Thank you for being cool and not hiding this away from the world!

Very cool item.  What a collectors item.

If I told you what was on the disk I would have to kill you. 





Naa, I had to get another LD player also.  Mine must have died since the last time I fired it up.  Fortunately they are very cheap and I have another on the way.
