/vr/ - Retro Games

The Japanese HDTV format for home video/broadcast was called MUSE Hivision. You could buy HD content on muse encoded laserdiscs, playable on special LD players like the HLD-X0 beast (cost almost $10k). Sadly, only Hollywood blockbusters made it to HDLD, making it kind of boring.

They were actually planning to release the Studio Ghibli movies on hivision LD, which is where the HD transfers on the Ghibli Ga Ippai LD movie box came from, but the format died first. That would have been a cool collectible. Princess Mononoke as well, as it was listed on a survey card found with hivision discs for future release. Sad.
