As with most topics it is dangerous to generalise. Yes some LDs are better but then so are some DVDs.If you are chasing LDs have a look at big emma - bigemma.com [that is if they still exist - I just tried and could not log on]
That is where I purchased most of the 750+ in this collection (only half are movies, the rest are opera, ballet etc). Freight is the killer in remote Australia but should not be as difficult for you.
As for players, I would not worry. There are heaps around and you should be able to pick up a good one (like the Pioneer D925 - their last) at a low price.
I enjoy both LDs & DVDs but the software varies a lot. Some LDs are worse video than I can get on tape from a satellite broadcast but some are as good. The best DVDs surpass both but there are quite a few mediocre DVDs out there also.
