CED VideoDisc and Player Discussion

[Ced Collector]

Would you be willing to pay $60 for a blue ray or 4kUHD movie? Today, I was looking around Amazon and a lot of new movie tiles for modern HD and 4k discs were around $15 - $20 Sure, some were higher too but these were top current blockbuster examples in the price range.

So back in the day, using an online inflation calculator, I see that in 1985 when CED's like this one were being sold for $19.98 that sure wasn't as affordable as movies are today.




We're paying less for far higher quality today. Yeah, sure as technology progresses, this should be expected, I know. But I just thought it was cool. Maybe you haven't stopped to think about this before.

Someone got this this one marked down to $10! That's $30 of current spending power today. Still not "cheap" for back then really, then was it?


Did you know a Gallon of gas was $1.12 in 1985?
That means, if the dude had a car with a 20 gallon fuel tank, he spent half a tank of fuel on a movie, that he never even watched!! ;)




I was listening to the radio
I heard a song reminded me of long ago
Back then I thought that things were never gonna change
It used to be that I never had to feel the pain
I know that things will never be the same now
I want to go back
And do it all over again
But I can't go back I know
I want to go back
'Cause I'm feeling so much older
But I can't go back I know

I Wanna Go Back
Song by Eddie Money
