So I just bought a vintage [RCA Selectavision](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selectavision) player on eBay. This is a video player which plays grooved vinyl LPs - it was released to compete with the Laserdisc player but never caught on. I see it as a piece of A/V history and a cool collector’s item. Mostly I thought it would be cool to show people who come over. So I bought it, and I got three movies for it also: [The Boogey Man,](http://imdb.com/title/tt0080464/)[The Dead Zone](http://imdb.com/title/tt0085407/) and [Saturn 3](http://imdb.com/title/tt0079285/) (which has the distinction of having been nominated for a Razzie award for worst acting by Kirk Douglas.) I’m particularly looking forward to Dead Zone since I love David Cronenberg’s movies.

Does anyone else have a CED player? Anyone used to have one? Any old discs you want to send me for free? 😃
