The CED was cool technology. ULTRA heavy though for those with large collections! I was in an antique store recently where there were hundreds of disks and 1 RCA player. They wanted about $10 each for the movies and $200 for the machine if I remember correctly. I'd seriously doubt it was PAL compatible though. Next time I'm down that way, I'll take another look, get the model number, etc. It was great to see all the disks this guy had. Rows and rows of 'em, like a record store! I did not know they released *that* many of 'em.
