You're right. It IS LD. My bad.

And the pawn shop thing only works if you are in a metropolis I think. I have seven or eight of them that I drive by from time to time.

Picked up The Fifth Element last week for five bucks but it was not as good as I remember it.

Some pawn shops are going for over ten bucks per disc. I'm not interested if they want more than a dollar.

I still want to buy a used copy of The Committments but still looking. I figure it will eventually show up.

I'd pay 5 bucks for the last Matrix movie - but thats the most I would pay.

A used bookstore near my place of work was selling old VHS tapes for a buck a piece. Picked up Moving Violations, Steel Dawn, and The Hidden...

I may live in a desert but did you realize that Phoenix AZ is the fifth largest populated city in the US?

Oh and not to dissapoint you but they rereleasing The Fifth Element soon on DVD... guess that means another trip to the pawn shop.

I picked up the Commitments together with all 3 Star Wars films (letterboxed), a Stevie Ray Vaugh concert, Cool Hand Luke, and some other discs AND a 1070 LD player (which turns on but won't set a disc, I figure it is at least good for parts) all for $25.
