Is anyone else collecting the VCD's that were released by Philips Media specifically for use with the cdi player? They were the main reason for buying a player in 1995 for me. The quality was so much better than the VCD's released later on in Asia including the legal official releases. I think the quality still holds up today, even in the DVD era. Of course not as good as DVD but still impressive. And what titles would be considered rare now? I'm still looking for "The Pink Panther", "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang", and the first "Robocop" but I have seen all 3 them before on eBay.

I'm also sort of collecting them . Not actively buying them, but only when they turn up i a lot with stuff I want. I think the videocd catalogue was rather large, I keep seeing new titles. As far watching them, nowadays I'm mostly watching laserdisc and dvd. Those have much better quality...

Am into Laserdiscs as well It's a shame VCD's were hardly ever released in widescreen.

Anyone who's interested in the VCD's that Philips released in the States only, like the Robocop and Rambo series, Dances with Wolves, Total Recall etc. should check out eBay seller darkodigital http://stores.ebay.co.uk/DIGITAL-VIDEOS ... idZ2QQtZkm

I bought 9 titles and received them from Canada within a week, all sealed! Shipping to Europe is very reasonable as well.

i'm usually into dvd and laserdisc, and i have about 15 video cdi's
i have (phillips releases) that i might start collecting :p
if any dutchies here have spares left, i might be interested
i'll check out the ebay seller too.

Well, after cycling home from the laserdisc store, I've decided to sell almost my video cd's . Should be about 200 to 300 titles, not sure about that. Located in Holland, I can make a list of course, but that will take some time. It's been ages since I've last watched a videocd and I have almost all the better titles either on laserdisc or dvd.

you actually have a laserdisc store there? lucky!

Yeah, WTF where is this laserdisc store

Anyway, seen your list in the other post, will probably send you a PM tomorrow, some good titles you've got there.

It's not that they are still selling them in the sotre, just that they have lots of old stock. There is a laserdisc store in The Netherlands however, http://www.rodisc.nl

I mostly only collect the movies and in fact I don't even have a proper player or anygames but someday I hope to get one. When I have some money that is.
